This is what playing offense looks like: With ZERO fucks to give, Gavin Newsom is not taking any of the pedophile president's fascistic authoritarian bullshit. 🙌💪👏👊👇

Horrific
‘Help me, please!’ Plainclothes “ICE” agents snatch a man outside Los Angeles’ largest courthouse on Wednesday. A tactic that has been repeatedly condemned by the legal community. Painful to watch. Even more painful knowing there are people who not only accept this, are happy about it.
Masked Border Patrol and ICE GOONS violently kidnapping an elderly man in Southern California
So hang on…. Trump is going to offer to open up FUKKIN ALASKA TO THE RUSSIANS?? Wow. Let’s see republicans defend this
"Free DC made clear, “No single event or protest will fix this. What works is disciplined, connected organizing.” And they are already showing the way forward."
This is not about crime. It’s about power. (+ distracting from the Epstein file cover-up)
Wes Moore on Fox & Friends: "Our National Guards are not trained for this ... we know the missions that they are trained for. Municipal policing is not one of them. If we want to be serious about making people safe, let's actually do the things that make people safe."
I just approved the deployment of California resources to Puerto Rico ahead of Tropical Storm Erin. We’re glad to help coordinate life-saving response to Americans in harm’s way.
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!"
No, I am not panicking. I am outraged. I am outraged that the price of standing up to Trump — of standing for democracy — is to be subjected to endless lies, attacks and false accusations by people who know better. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/im-n...
The VA & EPA have torn up their union contracts, gutting workers’ rights, threatening veterans’ care, and endangering our environment. This authoritarian union-busting is an assault on democracy & working people. We must fight back. We stand with AFGE. www.afge.org/article/va-r...
Well, Cuomo asked for a fight. He got it.
This is a Gift Article. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/12/u...
Meiselas: A MAGA anti-vax extremist opened fire on the CDC, killing a heroic Black officer. 500 shots fired. Do we hear Trump or JD Vance saying anything? Cohen: Not even thoughts and prayers.
We must insist the Supreme Court protect voting rights and democracy. In 2015-17, I litigated and won 4 redistricting cases in the Supreme Court. In the last few years my firm has litigated two others in the Court and won both. Don't give in to the cynics. When we fight we can win!
NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.
Funny how that works.

I will say it again. No one is covering the GOP's redistricting scheme as closely, with as much context and analysis as Democracy Docket. Its team of 20 works around the clock to provide you independent pro-democracy news and information. Support their work by signing up today. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0
Paxton is now seeking a court order to declare the over 50 lawmakers’ seats vacant. @marcelias.bsky.social tell me this isn’t legal so I don’t freak out.
This morning, ICE rolled into a Home Depot parking lot using a moving truck loaded w/agents, like a Trojan horse, to snatch up Latino workers. Whoever they could find. No idea if they were undocumented or not. That’s not enforcement. That’s racial profiling, and violates a standing court order.
“We’re being treated like animals… I’m brown. If I go out they can stop me every day just cuz of my skin color.” What are we doing? 🇺🇸 (from @rokhanna.bsky.social )
An important point. If CA wants to redraw, we would need a special election because of our state constitution. We should be organizing that now.
Attorney General Pam Bondi has filed a formal complaint against U.S. District Court Judge James Boasberg for misconduct. The misconduct? Holding PEDO accountable for breaking the law. REPOST if you stand with Judge Boasberg against PEDO and Bondi !
Mamdani: I would say that for the former governor to have spent an entire day speaking almost exclusively about me and barely about the New Yorkers who have been killed is indicative of the very politics New Yorkers want to leave in the past.
The extremely simple fact is that Jeff Epstein was the most notorious child sex trafficker in history, and the President of the US was his close personal friend for decades Acting like this is complicated is absurd. The man knew what Epstein did, didn't care, and participated
Trump’s administration is arresting U.S. citizens like 18‑year‑old Kenny Laynez‑Ambrosio during traffic stops, telling him “you’ve got no rights,” all while building “Alligator Alcatraz” camps in the Everglades that deny basic medical care. Cruelty as policy. (The Guardian)
Me too…
2 points here: 1) There's no statute of limitations in New York for Ghislaine Maxwell's crimes (maybe also options in New Mexico and Florida). A pardon can't stop state prosecutions. 2) We just got another reason to release the Epstein files: so the public can test Maxwell's truthfulness.
Is NOBODY going to call DoJ's Todd Blanche "questioning" Ghislaine Maxwell what it actually is - WITNESS TAMPERING? Really, not one person?
"On Friday, Trump did not rule out granting clemency to Maxwell, stating, “I’m allowed to do it.” Hours later, Fox News reported that Maxwell is seeking a pardon from the president." -- Mediaite
Has anyone confirmed what deal Maxwell got to agree to be interviewed? Hard to believe she is doing this without any legal assurances or protections.
WU-TANG FOREVER 👐🏽
Beto O'Rourke: Republicans will not stop at 5 congressional seats in Texas, they will find other pretexts to rig this election even further, because Donald Trump understands if Democrats get a majority in the House, there will be accountability for every illegal corrupt thing he has done so far.
Human Rights org need to get over there n help these people. I’m surprised they r still alive n haven’t died from heat stroke as hot as it is in TX! #iceout #texas @aclu.org
He does. That’s why all of this is so dumb.
“Male Lonliness Epidemic”???? 😂 Naw. “Creepy Dude Syndrome” Learn how to talk to folks, asshole. Also, “no” means NO.
the Fox News alternate universe where Obamagate 2.0 is the biggest scandal in world history and getting wall to wall coverage is really something to behold tonight
“POTUS is clearly furious,” said a person close to the White House, who was granted anonymity to discuss the mood inside the West Wing. “It’s the first time I’ve seen them sort of paralyzed.”
This is what fear looks like.

A U.S. citizen and former Marine detained. A 15-year-old boy with no criminal record held at "Alligator Alcatraz." A father who has lived here for 30 years. No criminal record. Still held by ICE after nearly 6 months. We are witnessing the cruelty of Trump's police state.
Breaking News: The EPA said it would eliminate its scientific research arm and begin firing hundreds of scientists, after denying that it intended to do so.
Such a raging alcoholic Look at his friggen face
@jamestalarico.bsky.social: "The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God."
Like I said when the breakup happened, Musk would not slink away like all of the other folks Trump has dumped. He will not be ignored.
All of our vascular system need to work or one part eventually gives, kidneys w heart, lungs all of it. If not balanced ....well.
Heart failure, from having to do extra work to pump blood that is stagnant because of weakened valves. He needs mega lasix or he could have kidney failure. He looks like shit. His eyes bloated and who knows his skin color. He is not healthy. He has been getting IV bruising for years now.
I’d say that @stephencolbert.bsky.social is (with the lone exception of @maddow.msnbc.com) the most brilliant, humane person I’ve encountered in broadcasting. His mind works faster than anyone else’s at a level of sophistication that is unmatchable. Genuinely a generational talent.
Big, BIG mad.
Mike Pence tells CBS: "The time has come for the administration to release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution."
Family pets are being left behind at Southern California shelters as their families face deportation. At Carsom Animal Care Center, dogs like Bruce and Coco are quiet, confused, and up for adoption. Shelter staff say they've seen emotional goodbyes as families forced to leave the U.S.
Mike Pence has the courage! "Release all of the files regarding Jeffrey Epstein's investigation and prosecution. ... Anyone who participated or was associated with this despicable man ought to be held up to public scrutiny." www.cbsnews.com/video/mike-p...
“.. filings by four big banks flagged more than $1.5 billion in transactions — including thousands of wire transfers for the purchase and sale of artwork for rich friends, fees paid to Mr. Epstein by wealthy individuals, and payments to numerous women, @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/07/17/b...
BREAKING: A class-action lawsuit filed Wednesday alleges that people held at the immigrant-detention center dubbed "Alligator Alcatraz" are being prevented from having access to lawyers and "effectively have no way to contest their detention."
Except Afghanistan was also DJTs
Firing the prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell doesn’t make the problem go away. It intensifies awareness of a coverup.
Newsom FTW #EpsteinFiles
Fuck it, they killed him live.
Rural voters were told this would happen before the election. They voted for it anyway.
AOC on Mamdani: Get to know him. If anybody is skeptical, get to know him, when you get in a room with him, kick the tires and make your own assessment instead of making assessments from what you see on television.
AOC: “It should be our mission right now to make sure that all people have health care!"
A disabled Vet was snatched n detained during ICE Gestapo raid in Cali. #iceout #california
RFK Jr. just fired thousands of federal workers at crucial health agencies, including the FDA, CDC, and NIH. These are the people who inspect our food, track infectious diseases, and research life-saving treatments and cures. How is this "Making America Healthy Again"?
🚨⚖️📚Crockett torches GOP hypocrisy: You can’t scream “pro-life” while slashing healthcare + food aid. You worship Orbán, funnel tax $$ to Musk, and kill programs helping abuse survivors + migrant kids-then cry about nonprofits. Blue states bankroll this whole damn country. Fucking Enoughis Enough‼️
Crockett: It seems like blue states are constantly putting red states on life support yet we got these little red states that ain’t contributing nothing.
We need to unmask them all
🛑 Watch This‼️⬇️
Crockett: Earlier someone was talking about cities being hellholes. Los Angeles contributes almost 20 billion in taxes. That’s more than all states in this country except for four.
Padilla: "What if I was outside a Home Depot, because I like to do some work around the house, not dressed in a suit. Would I be a target of ICE enforcement under Tom Homan? Probably. And it is just wrong."
Dear Mr Wolff, why are we just know hearing about this? #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks
"This is the kind of thing that anybody in America would look at happening in another country and say, this is clearly the result of some authoritarian regime run amok. They have no insignia. They're not identifying themselves. They're throwing people into trucks, effectively kidnaping them."
We are paying dearly for the absence of civics education.
1. Release the Epstein files! 2. The Epstein files are sitting on my desk and I will release them very soon 3. There are no Epstein files and the case is closed 4. There are Epstein files but they are forgeries created by Obama and Hillary so if you like me you will never talk about them again
Maybe I’m weird, too. 🤷🏼♂️
"The Constitution, of course, grants Congress no express power to strip people of their citizenship, whether, in the exercise of the implied power to regulate foreign affairs or in the exercise of any specifically granted power." - Afroyim v. Rusk, 387 U.S. 253 (1967).
First time they aren’t buying that it is either FAKE NEWS! or Obama’s fault.
Please keep in mind this is what they were allowed to see and not what goes on when no one is looking. And even this is bad.
Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz after touring "Alligator Alcatraz": "These detainees are living in cages. The pictures you've seen don't do it just. They are essentially packed into cages. 34 detainees per cage...they get their drinking water & they brush their teeth where they poop, in the same unit"
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
Exactly.
We want ICE out of our Hospitals.
My full statement following the ICE Raid in Carpinteria. ⬇️
#ProudBlue They are tear gassing kids! The amount of damage & trauma being caused by these ICE Thugs will take generations to repair. My heart breaks seeing these families torn apart & kids hurting because they are kidnapped their parents. I can’t wait for these evil fucks rot in hell.
Senator @johnfetterman.com — whose wife was an undocumented immigrant, and who said he was grateful that her family “broke the law” — now speaks up supportively of ICE as they terrorize others. What a tremendous hypocrite. WATCH:
hey, you guys? is it a good thing or a bad thing if during a hearing your own co-counsel texts your other co-counsel and says “oh shit that was just not true” in reference to something you just told the chief judge of the D.C. district court???
I'm concerned by State Farm’s unfair and arbitrary insurance rate hike on Illinois homeowners. These increases are predicated on catastrophe loss numbers inconsistent with Illinois DOI’s analysis, indicating State Farm is shifting out-of-state costs onto homeowners here.

CNN is reporting the FEMA response was delayed 3 days because of Noem’s cost controls, and FEMA officials were “taken aback” by how limited the agency’s response was.
Sen. Tillis: “Anybody that’s advising the president that we should get rid of FEMA has clearly had no experience with disaster response.”
