The government does not have the power to declare “free speech zones.” And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.

Gov. Newsom says Trump administration has deployed California National Guard troops to Oregon The move comes one day after a federal judge blocked the president's plan to deploy Oregon National Guard troops in Portland.

A federal judge in Oregon strikes down Trump’s effort to mobilize their national guard troops against their own citizens in Portland.

So now he is trying to move California’s Guard troops north.

Another great episode.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Insane Nazi scenes from Chicago’s Brighton Park neighborhood right now

Epstein Survivors Will Flood Capitol to Force Files Release They will appear alongside the congresspeople supporting the release, including Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Trump Casually Golfs His Way Through Yet Another National Crisis The president’s Saturday outing comes as his administration throws the kitchen sink at Democrats, blaming the Left for at least 750,000 federal workers being either furloughed or working without pay.

More than 750,000 federal workers are either furloughed or working without pay after Republicans and Democrats failed to reach a funding deal, and Donald Trump is playing golf.

The oldest man ever elected to the Presidency, with clear health problems and increasingly unhinged, untethered public appearances and postings, has now disappeared from public view of an extended period for 2nd time in recent weeks.

Truly, how is this not a bigger story?

It’s fucking insane

Honored to be included, thank you!

These are some of the protesters in Chicago arrested by Noem’s secret police.

Just in case you didn't realize it, the messages like this on government websites are illegal as per the Hatch Act.

Yet again, this Administration is breaking the law, this time rather blatantly.

Also, there's no such thing as "The Radical Left" in Congress.

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Governor Pritzker calls on Trump to be removed via the 25th Amendment: “There is something genuinely wrong with this man and the 25th Amendment ought to be invoked.”

25th AMENDMENT NOW!

Gavin Newsom announces that any California university that caves to Trump and signs his “loyalty pledge” will be immediately defunded.

“CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS.”

New York Times: "Trump Administration Asks Colleges to Sign ‘Compact’ to Get Funding Preference." The White House asked nine top universities to pledge support for President Trump’s agenda to help ensure access to research funding.

IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY'LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY.

CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM.

Screenshot from Politico: SPOTTED: Thune, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso and other GOP pals dining last night at swanky Capitol Hill hotspot Bistro Cacao — where filet mignon and magret de canard go for $45 a head and the cabernet sauvignon list ranges from $60 to $750 a bottle, per Playbook’s Adam Wren. Fine dining on the first night of a government shutdown?

They’re loving it. Your health care is not on their minds.

Today, I'm signing legislation to safeguard our elections and the voice of every voter.

It's now illegal to use contests or payments to get people to register to vote.

And in the 2026 election, voters have the chance to repeal our state's ban on the public financing of elections.

We asked 1,000 Americans who is to blame for the shutdown. Here’s what they said. More Americans blame Trump and Republicans than Democrats for shutdown, poll finds.

New WaPo poll:
Extend ACA subsidies 71%-29%
Blame Rs for shutdown 47%
Blame Ds for shutdown 30%

Dems winning the big arguments so far

Congress _could_ control his actions. The majority does not _want_ to control his actions. The most direct action would be defunding his office unless he agrees to follow the Impoundment Act.

Why I Say Yes on Prop 50!
by SPC Board Member Trish Abbatiello

As a board member and proud participant of our Rainbow Seniors group, I urge you to vote YES on prop 50. Early on some seniors expressed confusion between a yes or no vote. This became more so with the political ads shown on T.V....

Finally some good news....

This.

Yes. This is why it's important for Democrats to draw a line in the sand. Why would we provide the votes to fund a Department of Justice that is actively (and successfully!) hunting Trump's enemies and suppressing free speech?

Repeat after me: people hate this mad king shit

Democratic Governors Have the Legal Authority to Arrest ICE Agents. They Should Use It. Even failed prosecutions would force federal agents to think twice before breaking down doors.

"Democratic governors have the power to prosecute those crimes.

They just need to understand an absolutely essential point.

Winning isn’t the point. Fighting is."

Democratic Governors Can Arrest ICE Agents. What Are They Waiting For?

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland.

📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

My god you're so right. Legacy media has become so useless.
