I hope all their good work is not eventually undone by the Supreme Court.
BOOM 🔥:
Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

They hope we will be too afraid to vote in 2026 and 2028.
They want our submission.
And…with these type of things by Trump through ICE etc., they will arrest you, keep you in jail without a phone call.
You may get out, but you’ve been traumatized. You’ll need to hire an attorney.
Great harm has been done to you, even if you are found fully innocent.
That’s how it is SUPPOSED to work.
The current Republican-controlled Congress (and SCOTUS too) are letting Trump get away with doing whatever he wants.
It’s shameful and means the end of our Democracy.
First it was immigrants.
That allowed Trump to get massive funding for ICE in the Big Beautiful Bill.
Now they are switching to or adding:
“Antifa” & “woke-liberal Democrats” which basically means the entire country except for the MAGA faithful.
We should all be very worried.
Trump's Justice Department is firing the people who prosecute terrorists, Jake Tapper argues. The president's politically motivated personnel decisions make "the United States and the world less safe":

The story of 2024 is this: Trump had a plan to destroy American government called Project 2025, which had, literally, not a typo, a 4% approval rating. He lied constantly and said he wouldn't do it.
Then he entered office and immediately implemented AN EVEN MORE EXTREME VERSION OF IT.
I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Former HHS Leader Kyle Zebley also did a good job talking about how the Shutdown is really hurting people who depend on telehealth, and the provider who serve them as well. A related article:

That might be good.
He and Jeffries are not good persuaders.
I saw a Dem on the PBS News Hour tonight who was good, former OMB head under Biden:
Shalanda Young.
I know we need Dem faces & voices, but if they suck at it…
@jenpsaki.msnbc.com
Shalanda Young was great on the PBS News Hour just now!
I wish other Democrats could explain things as well and as clearly as her!
I can’t find her on social media, or I’d tell her directly!
