The people have the power.

Communities in Portland and across the country are making it clear that troops don’t belong in our streets.

Kristi Noem came to Portland, and people protested with dogs, dancing: Get caught up

As U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Noem made the case for increased security, local officials repeated that the situation was well in hand.

Maine is a special place, and our future depends on protecting it. I’ll fight for urgent climate action and defend the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, because strengthening these laws is more important than ever.

JB Pritzker: “Another thing that’s happened with very few people paying attention is they demanded our voter data. Not just ours in Illinois — every state’s voter data. Why? They won’t tell us why.”

The president says there are very few stores left in Portland, Oregon, and the ones that are left are made of plywood.

I know we’re numb to this, but in any other time he’d have been removed by the 25th Amendment by now

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

TIL that Gavin Newsom is left-handed and I have mixed emotions about it tbh

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 23h

I just signed a series of bipartisan bills in Altadena to support wildfire survivors.

We're providing tax relief, a survivor-first streamlining of home insurance, higher penalties for looting and responder impersonators in evacuation zones, and help with rebuilding livelihoods.

Governor Newsom signs a bipartisan package of bills to aid in the rebuilding and recovery efforts in Los Angeles following the devastating fires earlier this year.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

I am a volunteer for Graham Platner’s campaign and I will work tirelessly to help him defeat Janet Mills in the primary. Graham is inspiring and the best choice for Maine. But, yes, if she is the Dem candidate, I will vote for her. Collins has to go.

Mr. President. Stop breaking the law.

The shutdown does not give you the right to fire thousands of hard working federal employees.

Instead of giving huge tax breaks to your billionaire friends, show some respect for the struggling working families of our country.

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

"They put me on suicide watch and they put me in the cell, I'm naked, in like a hospital dress and just a concrete bed with like a mattress, like a thin mattress and, they leave the light on 24/7."

The President seems unwell. From his physical symptoms to his visible cognitive decline, the American people deserve clear answers about his ability to serve. I’ve formally called on the White House Physician to provide transparency and the truth about President Trump’s health.
