Very weird that anyone in the press covers Trump’s illegal domestic military deployments as a crime story when the White House Press Secretary openly says “every Democrat-run city” instead of “high-crime city.” That’s not merely repeating their lie, it’s changing an admission into a lie for them.

Trump and his enablers are trying to rig the next election by redrawing congressional maps and diluting the power of Black and minority voters. I joined my colleagues of @cbc.house.gov to speak out against their authoritarian power grab.

So the fun thing about right-wingers all talking in Conspiracyspeak now is that you get really fun nonsense turns of phrase like this, which is especially notable at a point where, it has to be stressed, the mainstream media does not have a “whole narrative around Epstein” at this moment

Today marks the 175th birthday of our Golden State. For generations, California's been a beacon of progress and innovation. From the Gold Rush to the space race, from Silicon Valley to Hollywood, from agriculture to education, California's led the way in shaping America’s story.

Happy 175th Birthday, California! On September 9, 1850, we became the 31st state, skipping the usual territory stage & leaping into statehood. Fueled by the Gold Rush, California quickly became a land of opportunity & has been a state of big dreams. Here’s to 175 years of California dreaming!

I am sickened by this ruling. Trump’s Supreme Court has reopened the door to dangerous and racially motivated immigration raids in Southern California, leaving families to wonder if heading to work or taking their kids to school could end in detention because of the way they look or talk.

Happy Birthday, California! 🥳 Today, we proudly celebrate 175 years of statehood. As we continue to define the future of this state, today serves as a testament to the spirit of Californians, driven by grit, determination, and a relentless belief in what’s possible.

The Trump Administration is once again failing to do its job — and California is cleaning up their mess. We're deploying state resources to protect the 2,000-year old sequoias on FEDERAL LANDS from the wildfires the federal administration are supposed to handle.

The police in Illinois work closely with the ATF to get guns off our streets, with the FBI to arrest gang members, and with the DEA to destroy the fentanyl trade. So why is Trump sabotaging our ongoing work with federal law enforcement partners?

Bay FC nearly played the NWSL’s best team to a draw in the first half. We have a solid defense, even without Abby Dahlkemper. We have one of the league’s best young keepers in Jordan Silkowitz. But we had 0 shots on goal the whole half. We don’t posses well, pass well, or finish well.

Illinois refuses to fall into the trap that demands we sacrifice vital Constitutional rights if it’s being done in the fake guise of “fighting crime.” There is no emergency here that warrants the deployment of troops. And we won’t be begging for him to bring them to Chicago.
