I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video.

I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children.

But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I keep looking through the data and asking smart people I know for any bright spots for Republicans, and I can't find any. I don't remember any election where you couldn't find something to point to. A total and complete defeat across the board for Trump and MAGA.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.

Trump says the SNAP money that he’s been ordered by a court to release won’t be released until the government shutdown ends.

Trump: SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly "handed" to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

If the Senate Dems don't realize the kind of upper hand they have against Trump in this moment - and if they let a chunk of their caucus (8 Dems) fold after get a "a promised vote" from the Republicans - not sure what else is there to say.

Tim Onion @bencollins.bsky.social · 2d

People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.

It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

No pressure, California

Susan Rinkunas @susanrinkunas.com · 6d

If California voters fail to pass Prop 50, the GOP could steal enough House seats to pass a nationwide abortion ban after 20 weeks, overriding state laws. Don't expect the Senate filibuster to save us—they might nuke it to end the shutdown
www.democracydocket.com/opinion/abor... @democracydocket.com

screeshot 1/2
Finally, in California, residents will consider Proposition 50, the redistricting measure designed to counteract GOP efforts to steal the House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms. Control of the House is important to block further attacks on reproductive freedom. After President Donald Trump pressured Texas Republicans to redraw their congressional map to favor the GOP, California Gov. Gavin Newsom proposed a referendum on letting the legislature temporarily redraw congressional maps. (The task is usually left to an independent commission.) More Republican-led states are following Texas’ lead, and if Democrats don’t fight fire with fire, the House could have the votes to pass a national abortion ban after 20 weeks, or even earlier. In addition, friendlier districts could shield members of Congress from accountability for passing a bill “defunding” abortion providers that Trump signed on July 4.

screenshot 2/2:
A House with more comfortable margins for the GOP could pass another “defund,” possibly for more than just one year as in the current law. Planned Parenthood warned that kicking its affiliates out of Medicaid could lead to 200 clinics closing across the country, many in states where abortion is still legal. Planned Parenthood has called this federal funding exclusion a “backdoor abortion ban” because the procedure would still be legal on paper but much less accessible. That’s why Planned Parenthood Action Fund, local affiliate advocacy groups, and Reproductive Freedom For All are pulling out the stops for Prop. 50.

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.
