U.S. District Judge April Perry says it comes down to a "credibility determination."

"I simply cannot credit [the Trump administration's] declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS' perception of events are simply unreliable."

#BREAKING A federal judge say she will grant "in part" a request by the state of Illinois for a temporary restraining order against the deployment of National Guard troops into the state.

U.S. District Judge April Perry is still ruling and has not outlined the details of her order.

Gavin Newsom: “Masked men. Jumping out of unmarked vehicles. People disappearing. No due process. No oversight. No accountability. People say I’m being hyperbolic. Bullshit. This is happening in America today.”

An up or down vote on extending the ACA subsidies, and I would add a separate up or down vote the same day to release the Epstein files.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.

ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

One study found that when women are 15% of the conversation, men think it’s equal. When women are 30%, men think women are dominating the conversation. Men are disconnected from reality. Lol.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Remember, kids:

Nixon was never held legally accountable for his crimes and was ultimately pardoned.

But his 1st Attorney General went to jail and his second one was disbarred after being convicted of contempt of Congress.

Are Pam Bondi and Todd Blanche listening?

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Trump is already killing the economy, withholding FEMA funds and costing Americans jobs. Call his bluff.

ICE racially profiles an elderly man and takes him into custody. They realize their mistake and release him. They also intimidate witnesses. This incident occurred in Long Beach, California.

Maryland Rep. Olszewski: With all the due respect to the Speaker, that is a load of crap. Rep. elect Grijalva was duly elected. She’s ready to get sworn in any time, any place. Those 2 Floridians were sworn in the day after they were elected. This is now weeks that we’ve been waiting to swear her in
