Texas passed their extreme gerrymandered maps, their efforts to steal the 2026 midterms must be neutralized. CA is responding though we must educate our electorate. We don't cheat, we do it Democratically!🗽

This isn't going to be cheap & Nov is 3 months away.

If you're able, please support!

Donate to Stop Trump from Rigging the 2026 Election

If Californians don’t act now, Donald Trump will seize total power for two more years.

☑️ Nadarius Clark, District 84

How it's going in Chicago

After ICE arrested US citizen and WGN Producer Debbie Brockman

Agents driving the white van cut off and hit another car, swarmed the vehicle at gunpoint, dragged out the driver-who is ALSO a citizen-and arrested her, too

Straight up fascism

Agentes de ICE chocan contra el vehículo de una mujer y después la sacan a la fuerza para arrestarla. N Paulina St & W Schubert Ave, Chicago, IL 60614

Now might be a good time to remind certain (ICE) folks that "I was just following orders" was NOT accepted as a defense at Nuremberg and it won't be accepted for their crimes either.

This insanity must stop. Not knowing who is arresting you and why is a crime. We, the people, must push back and force these so-called ICE agents off of our streets. We Americans deserve better. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VoteBlueforOurFuture

Do you consider yourself conservative or libertarian? Trump’s attacks on renewables:

* Attack free markets
* Stifle innovation
* Take lives
* Eliminate jobs
* Raise energy costs
* Harm national security

This regime is not on your side either.

www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world

As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Who do you believe- the reporter who says she did nothing wrong to cause her violent detainment and who they released hours later with no charges. Or the poorly trained aggressive ICE agents who hit a car as they sped away with the violently detained reporter? I wonder which one I believe? 🤔

Feds detain WGN-TV staffer, slam into resident’s car in Lincoln Square

Federal immigration authorities hit a car with a driver inside after making arrests in Lincoln Square on Chicago’s North Side.

Today is Day 11 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders:

1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.

2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA.

3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Shortly after Sinaloa Drug Cartel heads entered plea deals in July/August, forfeited $80M, had family placed in protective custody…Trump bombs 1st of several boats in Caribbean. No confirmation who was killed, if drugs were onboard. Is Trump’s “intel” coming from convicted Sinaloa Cartel members?

Shutdown 5WHs

Who? It’s on Republicans

What? At stake: Your

Federal workers'
jobs

When? Right Now

Where? Republicans are MIA

Why? Republicans seek no
solutions

Congressman Eugene Vindman @repvindman.bsky.social · 1d

I’ve gotten a lot of questions about this government shutdown.

Who? What? When? Where? Why?

Every answer points to the same thing — Republicans’ inability to do their jobs.

I’m still in D.C., working to pass a budget that puts hardworking Virginians first.

Trump is trying to deploy the National Guard to Oregon, claiming that the state is a battlefield and troops are needed to protect federal agents who are attempting to enforce immigration laws

Trump told AG Pam Bondi to prosecute Letitia James-calling her “guilty as hell”

When the US Attorney wouldn’t do it, he replaced that lawyer with his personal attorney

And despite the fact that career prosecutors refused go forward

The DOJ got an indictment anyway

Tonight’s #FridayLimericks watch the GOP’s ongoing assault on Americans’ health.
We have shutdown stakes coming more clear:
Whose insurance will soon disappear?
Repubs want to shift wealth,
At expense of our health,
To the donors their ilk hold most dear.
