“ILLEGALS” MY ASS! Green card holder Rami Othmane speaks out after being snatched off the street by ICE while driving to the grocery store. He’s a documented immigrant and the husband of Dr Wafaa Alrashid, chief of staff at a local hospital. He was locked in detention for 13 days.

American federalism goes to work. As RFK Jr. heads down the road of more measles, more COVID-19 and more flu, public health states must develop our own strategies to stay safe.

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

National Guard members are being pulled from their jobs and families and sent to cities to cosplay as “Team America: Epstein Distraction Force.” Then he cuts deployments one day short so he doesn’t have to pay them in full. He calls them patriots while treating them as trash.”
I celebrate every victory for voting rights, but this one is particularly special. No issue has been more hotly contested or more important to PA voters than this one. The DSCC and DCCC fought hard and it is great to see them prevail. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

🚨BREAKING: Hours after Texas passed its new map, my law firm has challenged it in federal court. In addition to violating the VRA, HB 4 violates the 14th Amendment because it unjustifiably considers race and partisanship as part of a voluntary, mid-cycle redistricting. @redistrictfdn.bsky.social
Judge says Alina Habba has been serving illegally as US Attorney of New Jersey with zero authority for over a month, throwing cases into disarray. Sane people know she hasn't been competent this whole time either. The best part is this precedent can be used again. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/21/n...
This is so important… Sharon has been tracking license plates on cars driven by ICE agents, and she’s finding they don’t match the vehicles. In other words, ICE is using secret, illegal tactics—just like we suspected. REMINDER: the DMV is not a federal agency. @governor.ca.gov 🧵
NEW: A federal judge in Miami has ruled that operations at the controversial detention facility Alligator Alcatraz must begin to wind down, ordering state and federal officials to stop transferring detainees there and relocate current detainees within 60 days.
Proud to join Denmark Foreign Affairs Minister @lars-loekke.bsky.social and Ambassador Sørensen to sign a new partnership between California and Denmark. Our message to the rest of the world is clear: California is a stable, reliable partner — no matter who's in the White House.
Watch this. Apparently, police followed Rep Collier into the bathroom and threatened her with a FELONY for being on a press call with Senator Corey Booker and Governor Newsom.
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has escalated its demand for access to Maine’s voter registration records, now requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.
"Massachusetts has collected about $1.8 billion from a voter-approved surtax on the state's highest earners through the first nine months of the fiscal year." It's going to be used for education and transportation. See? Equitable taxation benefits everyone. www.wgbh.org/news/politic...
Good trouble 👿
When people ask me what gives me hope, my answer is simple: you do. Every person who refuses to look away. Every lawyer who files a brief. Every protester who shows up. Every voter who refuses to surrender their rights. You give me hope—not because victory is certain but precisely because it is not.
Trump stripped 37 current and former national security officials of their security clearances, a group that included many who had focused on Russian activities and foreign interference in U.S. elections, according to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

A beatdown in broad daylight was caught on video: Masked men in tactical vests grappled, tased, and piled onto a delivery worker. Pinning the worker face down on the pavement, agents tased him again and punched him repeatedly in the head.

Garcia: What I can say is that I want the American public to hear what Bill Barr said in his deposition — about how he views the current DOJ’s actions, and Todd Blanche’s actions as they relate to this deal with Ms. Maxwell. The American public should know what was said

Resistance in action! www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...
"Newsom is showing not just that resistance is plausible, but that especially when it's backed up with a plan it pays major political dividends — which hopefully will lead other Democrats to resist too."

Texas in 2025.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
It’s now apparently Chris Murphy’s war.
@gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He's a wartime president. He's the head of a war party. War on women. War on voting rights. War on Hispanics. A war on this state. War on institutions. Now he wants war on history."
A CT state rep posted a story about reports of ICE activity in his district and asked neighbors to "look out for another" and contact advocacy groups. Libs of TikTok posted it, calling for him to be charged and tagging ICE & DHS. ICE shared it, tagging the Justice Dept. This is protected speech.
Hill: Trump asserted in his Fox interview there were no countries in the world that allow mail-in voting. Well, Russia allows mail-in voting.

RADDATZ: The president went in to that meeting saying he wanted a ceasefire and there would be consequences if they didn't agree on a ceasefire in that meeting, and they didn't agree to a ceasefire. Where are the consequences? RUBIO: That's not the aim RADDATZ: The president said that was the aim

Survivors of disasters shouldn't have to wait around until Kristi Noem personally signs off on the assistance they need to rebuild their lives. I'm demanding to know how long it's taking Noem to sign off on FEMA's proposals—AND that we end this arbitrary & unnecessary oversight.

In America, we don’t use federal agents to intimidate citizens out of participating in their own democracy. Yet more than a dozen Border Patrol agents showed up Thursday in downtown LA at a rally Gov. Gavin Newsom held on congressional redistricting an event that had nothing to do with immigration.

Newsom: If California, one of the most un-Trumped states in America, is not successful, it’s at our peril. We may not get this back. I’m telling you, we may not. He is rigging this next midterm election before one vote is cast. He tried to wreck our democracy after the last vote was cast last time.

The Trump administration is hellbent on undercutting Social Security and eliminating the Department of Education. I’ll keep pushing back with everything I've got.
If Trump's economy was doing great, they wouldn't be trying to hide the numbers. Last month's jobs report showed just how tough things are for Americans, and now it might be the last one we get.
Renewables will be the world’s top power source next year, but America won’t be competitive because of Trump/fossil fuel corruption. Consumer utility costs will be higher, and America will be less innovative.
