This is the most important news of the day. Sending Texas guardsmen to Illinois is an intentional, unprecedented provocation. It should be immediately challenged in court. Follow @democracydocket.com for breaking news and updates on this developing story. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...
Yesterday we visited Green Mountain Falls, CO to visit the kinetic sculpture Off the Beaten Path by Patrick Shearn. I wasn’t ready for just how dynamic it was even in the slightest breeze. Reminds me of a murmuration of starlings. Incredible artwork. It’ll only be up through October 19th.
BREAKING: We secured a court order requiring the State Dept to preserve & account for Signal messages of senior national security officials, including Sec. Marco Rubio. This is an important step to force accountability for an admin that’s shown alarming disregard for transparency required by law.
I can’t believe this.
This was in Glendale California 👏🏼👏🏼💙💙

That’s a hard no.
The argument is: We're all meant to sacrifice a bit, so that tariffs can help rebuild American manufacturing. Let's ask American manufacturers whether they're helping.

This is so hard. Love and loss.
Just put my old mare down tonight. She was hobbling around fine last night but tonight...could barely walk. I'm devastated. Twenty years, and she did some amazing things (plus some not-so-amazing things like adopting an elk yearling). She's free from pain now but...I'm still devastated.
Well. He’s puffier and oranger than usual. His hair is insane. But that seems pretty normal to me.
**FOTUS can now drink himself into a stupor with his beverage of choice (Diet Coke), now that Judge Breyer (NDCA) has ruled against his use of the National Guard in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.
First, the GOP robbed 15 million people of health care. Now, they’re rationing Medicare — delaying and denying care to those who need it. Republicans are putting health care in this country even further out of reach for working people. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/h...

Trump can't use National Guard in California to enforce laws, make arrests, judge rules
www.politico.com/news/2025/09... District Judge Charles Breyer has declared Donald Trump’s use of military troops in Los Angeles illegal, barring the Pentagon from using National Guard members and Marines from performing police functions, like arrests and crowd control. There was no rebellion in LA.
BREAKING: The Pentagon has authorized up to 600 military lawyers to serve as temporary immigration judges. This is a blatant expansion of military power into a civilian judicial process, a dangerous erosion of the separation between the two. Every day, we inch closer to fascism.
“Rather than defending civil liberties and civil protections, you’re turned inward to potentially hinder [them].” In June, we sat down with a veteran and military law expert to discuss “being used against your neighbor” as a soldier.
I don't really care if Giuliani is alive or dead. I do care *a lot* about people not having access to vaccines. The fact that we don't even have a choice anymore is DEPLORABLE. RFK Jr is over his head and really effed everything up at the CDC. HE MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
Unbelievable.

In a move that is sure to shock no one, a judge has ruled that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to LA was illegal. As a retired National Guard member told our friends at @revealnews.org in June, Trump's co-opting of the military is putting our democracy in extreme danger.
🚨 A federal judge has determined that Trump broke the law when he recklessly deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles. The President does not get to create his own ‘national police force’ and place himself as the Chief.
Trump values power over human lives.

Moving Space Command away from NORAD is stupid. Colorado already has the existing ecosystem to support both the command and the operations. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
If reports are true, Trump is ripping Space Command out of Colorado Springs out of pure political spite, endangering jobs, our economy and national security. Colorado Springs deserves better. Colorado deserves better. Are we Great yet, Jeff Crank?
Trump is once again weaponizing government power for revenge. Schiff, James, and Cook are the latest targets—dragged into “fraud” investigations pulled straight from Trump’s enemies list. This isn’t justice. It’s political retribution. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/selective-...

I am so disgustingly sick of avoidable tragedies like the mass shooting at Annunciation Church (where I was baptized) in Minneapolis. The problem is simple: it's the guns. Here's the data, charts, and maps that prove it, with plenty of robust international comparisons:

Thank you. Great summary.

Every person, without exception, who claims they voted for King asshole “because of the economy” is lying. All of them. Not a single person voted for that criminal asswipe because of the economy. They voted for him because they wanted team white man to win and be in charge. That’s it.
I've had multiple profs describe me as having good hands in the lab. As best as I can tell, this mostly means that I pay attention to what I'm doing, so all the steps, and work out a system whereby if I do something wrong I notice in time to correct it.
I have been very lucky to work alongside Congressman Nadler in Congress, where he has been a fierce advocate for fundamental rights and the Constitution. As a titan of New York politics who has dedicated his life to public service, he will leave a lasting legacy.
