DEFEATED! Democrats joined by 6 Republicans just took down this anti-worker bill, the final vote was unchanged from below.

Mike Johnson spent nearly an hour trying to flip Republican holdouts but ultimately gave up, his first floor defeat of the year and likely not the last.
Some House floor drama as Republicans are currently losing a vote on a bill to let employers to exclude workforce education and development training from minimum wage and overtime calculations. Labor-friendly R's (there are a few, sometimes) voting no, Johnson huddling with them for ~30 mins now

Who honestly supports this shit?

They gave this woman about 8 conflicting commands, broke her window and drug her out of her car.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

Markey: Vance said that he was just doing his job. Murdering a young mother and orphaning her child is not a job. It is a crime

Markey: This administration has proved time and time again that it is only interested in vengeance, that it lies and lacks all humanity. Today, six federal prosecutors resigned because the DOJ wants to investigate Renee's widow rather than Renee's killer

Sometimes they just tell us they are weaponizing the criminal justice system to push their political agenda.
Sen. Kevin Cramer: "Maybe the point should be if you're the attorney for Jay Powell and you want to avoid an indictment, how about you go to Jeanine Pirro and say, 'I'll make a deal. I'll step down today if you drop the investigation today.' To me, that would be a win win for everybody."

Hey, MA legislators: it would be nice if you followed NJ’s lead & protected our communities from ICE.

Stop dragging your heels & FINALLY pass:
✅ Safe Communities Act (H.2580 / S.1681);

✅ Dignity Not Deportations Act (H.1588 / S.1122) ; &

✅ Immigrant Legal Defense Act (H.1954 / S.1127)

#MaPoli
In a MAJOR win for our immigrant community against Trump's abuses, the NJ legislature passed an immigrant protections package that:
✅ Protects privacy
✅ Protects due process rights
✅ codifies the 2018 Immigrant Trust Directive

This is what leadership looks like!

I have a message for my Republican colleagues: Trump will turn on you, investigate you, and indict you with bogus charges the second he doesn't like you.

That’s not Democracy—it’s tyranny. Your silence won’t make it go away.

Holy crap. Without completing portions of the required paperwork, with a likely failed drug test, and with clear indication that no HR person had ever Googled her or done even a cursory background check, ICE "hired" @laurajedeed.bsky.social.
A few months ago, ICE hired me

I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable

And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!"

What happens when you do minimal screening before hiring agents, arming them, and sending them into the streets? We're all finding out.

If there's one empirical insight I'd want everyone to understand about American politics, it's this:

America's problems are solved problems. Just not here.

What would change if the US simply matched the average of 31 peer democracies? Not Denmark or Norway. Just the middle of the pack. 🧵

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime.

It's so real.

I am helping a church pull together a community meeting about preparing for ICE and everyone I'm reaching out to "yes-ands" me.

I am 40 and I have spent my entire adult life organizing, and I have literally never experienced this before. It's wild.

People are DONE.

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.
