"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

Today in Politics Chat, I talked about how power sloshes around when a president is checked out, and noted that right now unelected officials like Stephen Miller are trying to grab it. But instead, We the People can take it back and create a better nation.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

“Who was president in 2020?” is the question of our time

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Murray: "If House Republicans were here, I'd make sure they understood over 3/4 of the families on the exchanges actually live in R states. And I'd make sure they understand the 10 states where families will face biggest average premium increase hikes when the ACA credits expire are all R states."

Why Are Plans for This Alabama Data Center So Hush-Hush? Officials in Bessemer, Alabama, are mum on Project Marvel, a proposed data center the size of 18 Walmart Supercenters.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

MAGA, MAGA.

This image was posted on X today by a Chicago Tribune reporter. Trump’s government has declared war on the American people — or some of them, based on race.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month.

Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Update from the war zone in Portland.

Excited to see this move forward! San Francisco needs a public bank to invest in affordable housing, green infrastructure, and small businesses. Thanks for leading on this SF Public Bank Coalition and @jackiefielder.bsky.social

It’s essential to separate the modes of transportation. That’s why our D5 office focused so much on protected bike lanes, Slow Streets, Car Free JFK, and more.

Charles Munger Jr sitting on a thrown with clown makeup and green hair, ornate costume, made to look like Hunger Games Villain. Text across his chest reads, "The Munger Games" and speech bubble reads "vote 'no' on Prop 50"

California, may the odds (and the maps) be forever in our favor!
#YesOnProp50

Keep up the pressure

Katniss Everdeen of Hunger Games stands with a bow and arrow in a forrest. In front of her are the words "Beat THE MUNGER GAMES" and below "May the odds, and the MAPS, be forever in our favor!" Vote Yes on Prop 50

California! Yes on Prop 50!!!

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

71.5% of ICE detainees have no criminal convictions, according to government data.

Don’t fall for Trump’s lies about targeting the “worst of the worst.”

As Trump's regime terrorizes communities to fill up detention centers, remember that some of his biggest donors are private prison corporations.

Hundreds of ex-DOJ staffers accuse Pam Bondi of putting Trump over the constitution The former staffers warn that the Justice Department is failing its mission in an open letter released Monday.

JUST IN: Hundreds of ex-DOJ staffers demand oversight ahead of Pam Bondi hearing, amid widespread questions about the department's decisions to target Trump's political foes such as former FBI director James Comey.

To be clear, the Judge scheduled a hearing for Thursday, saying she needed the time for the parties to provide her with more information before she made a decision. This is hardly a win for the Trump administration.

Trump has to rush his consolidation of power before he’s debilitatingly unpopular. That’s what authoritarians do.

What we do is organize massive, peaceful resistance that unifies the opposition, retakes power, and ushers in an era of accountability & reform: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

President Trump says he would invoke the Insurrection Act 'if it was necessary' Trump said he would consider invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military into cities if courts block his deployment of National Guard troops.

Trump is escalating his assault on American cities. His attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Portland and Chicago are unbelievably frightening.

But they’re also a sign that Trump knows he’s rapidly losing time and popular support.

Oppression is the mask of fear.

SF taxes the sale of mega-mansions and skyscrapers to fund social housing (Prop I) but our mayor refuses to spend the money on social housing. Mayor Lurie has diverted over $175 million so far in his tenure.

Why would any mayor divert affordable housing funding during an affordability crisis?
