Judge temporarily blocks Trump from any sending National Guard troops to Oregon The ruling came after California joined Oregon in a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's actions.

JUST IN: Judge temporarily blocks Trump from sending California's or any other state's National Guard troops to Oregon.

JUDGE: MR HAMILTON. You are MISSING my point. There is no change on the ground in Portland. What's the authority for what you're doing?

HAMILTON: 12406 hasn't been used much in history so ...

JUDGE: Tell you what. Why do you think it's not been utilized? 5/

Steak and Shake closed 200 restaurants and thinks this is relevancy.

I’m glad Van Jones apologized for his sick joking about dead kids in Gaza.

But the problem goes deeper: he spread Netanyahu propaganda that the mass killings of civilians in Gaza—including 20K+ kids—is Iranian fake news.

It’s not the students and young people who are fooled. It’s Van Jones.

National Guard have circled my 10 year old kid’s soccer game three times now with absolutely nothing to do.

Blowing up civilian boats. Zip-tying children. Putting armed military into peaceful parks. Destroying for sport. The work of smallest, most insufficient, dangerous of men. And we fight back but I believe we beat them with bigger work, bigger ideas, bigger heart. Power that doesn’t need to be faked.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

My wife and I are trying to have kids. We're looking at the cost of childcare. Frankly, it's a nightmare.

Young people struggling with the financial realities of starting a family in this country deserve a voice in the Senate. I promise you, I will fight for universal childcare.

Give Greta a Nobel.

Opinion | What Chuck Schumer Can Learn From Bad Bunny

We're not asking for the moon here. We’re trying to help Americans pay for their health insurance.

Emergency paid leave during the COVID-19 pandemic offered essential protections for U.S. workers Paid leave benefits protected workers against the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic and helped fill a longstanding gap in U.S. social infrastructure.

In 2020, the U.S. briefly had emergency #PaidSickDays and #PaidFamilyLeave for COVID-19 illness and caregiving. Guess what? It worked.

Well in a grim world of few wins, let’s hear it for generic abortion pills!

We’ve stooped lower on so many fronts, but the memes and sombreros are so beneath these offices, obviously not beneath the officeholders.

This is about people’s lives and livelihoods. Health care, paychecks, survival. You have so little respect for the power you’ve been given.

There is a special place in hell for agents of so-called democratic governments who zip tie children.

According to a @washingtonpost.com poll, Americans blame Trump and Republicans in Congress for the shutdown by a 17-percentage-point margin.

Buttigieg: We need a childcare policy where you can afford to have a kid and have paid family leave. That's not something you can throw up your hands and say, 'both sides are not doing anything.' Republicans have stopped paid family leave. Democrats are trying to get it done

Emergency paid leave during the COVID-19 pandemic offered essential protections for U.S. workers Paid leave benefits protected workers against the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic and helped fill a longstanding gap in U.S. social infrastructure.

“Our findings point to a clear conclusion… paid leave benefits protected workers against the shocks of the COVID-19 pandemic… offering a blueprint for how federal policy can prepare for the next crisis and support working families in the meantime.”

The next cycles “hinge on whether Democrats can bring these voters back into the fold. It won’t happen through fear of Trump or hollow slogans. It will take offering them a compelling, hopeful and inclusive vision. Because for millions of Americans, the stakes aren’t abstract. They’re personal.”

Have we talked enough about the fact that Republican leadership is still preventing a deciding vote from forcing a release of the Epstein files?

And how many sombreros do you collectively need to keep this up

More Men Taking Paternity Leave, Study Reveals Impact Of State Laws New data finds that men are taking paternity leave at high rates in states with mandatory paid family leave laws, but some gender gaps remain in paid leave use patterns.

“In states… claims for leave to care for new children are filed by nearly the same number of fathers as mothers, according to a June 2025 report by the national advocacy organization Paid Leave for All.” Read more in @forbes.com.

Zohran's big innovation is to attack economic *and* authoritarian power. Those are allied with each other to particularly noxious effect right now, as corporate elites capitulating to Trump's authoritarian takeover are demonstrating. Zohran attacks them as linked to one another, as I show here:

Trump Says a Deal With Harvard Is Close

If Harvard bows down to this lawless president, it will cover itself in shame and betray its motto “Veritas.”

Don’t pretend to stand for truth if you’re going to surrender to this bully. Appeasement only feeds the beast and puts us all at greater risk.

Trump just called us "the enemy within"

Those are LITERALLY the words Adolf Hitler used to describe Jews in Nazi Germany. Literally the same words.

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

I for one love a fire breather for The People. @delauro.house.gov

TGIF, all.
Just kidding, it’s Tuesday. But Feds, we love you, hope someone buys you a drink.

The FAMILY Act—the only bill for real paid family and medical leave in Congress—has a record 38 Senate cosponsors.

But we’re not done. Be sure to ask your Senators and all your Representatives to sign on too. #PaidLeaveForAll #ForFAMILY

This is Trump’s own shutdown and he has a gun to America’s head.
