DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA.

I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they look…

ICYMI: Trump told U.S. top military officials that we’re "under invasion from within" and it was time to turn the armed forces inward. A senior defense analyst said these remarks were concerning because they were directed at those most likely to stand in his way.

This is pretty unbelievable. Qatar giving Trump that jet is really paying off for them in a big way.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka.

I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws.

Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Truly the best place ever to have cut my teeth as a local elected. Libraries serve the public in so many ways because of course institutions of learning are institutions of DOING. Thank you, @aadl.org!
We are thrilled to announce that @aadl.org plans to acquire the Ann Arbor Observer!

Public ownership of local news media is more important than ever, and this acquisition builds on years of partnership and archival work to ensure the future of this priceless community asset.

People of Illinois, we need your help.

Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors.

We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

LTC Brandon Salter commands 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division. He’s in charge of the USMC troops that deployed into LA. I will not forget his name; in fact, I have it in a file. Many other vets and I will be advocating strongly for his court-martial at a future point.
