Blumenthal: We’re going to continue finding more of the ballroom donors who evidently didn’t want their names revealed. And let me name them: BlackRock, Susquehanna International, Nvidia, OpenAI, Vantive, and Extremity Care.

Gov. Pritzker enlists the public's help: "What we've asked is that people pull out their iPhone or their Android phone and film what they're seeing. Take a video of everything so see so that we can know if, in fact, laws are being broken by these federal officials coming into our state."

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not.

He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

Situation on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no specific agency identified -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd of people shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

LADIES, run background checks on all men you meet. Here’s some free or low cost tools:

1. PIMeyes: basically an easy reverse image search & will find their face ANYWHERE on the internet (useful if they give a fake name)
2. Cyber Background Checks: will find their criminal records
3. BlackBookOnline

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

"Let's not take the soul-sucking path of sacrificing the most persecuted for that which we deem to be most popular. I know that there are transgender children right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am."
