With this vote, 51 senators failed to rein in the president's blatant abuse of war powers against cartels.

Every senator who voted against this resolution ceded their constitutional power to the president.

Stephen Miller is pushing 47 and the regime to invoke the Insurrection Act. He wants 47 to have dictatorship powers that he and Vought can control. THIS IS THE MOMENT OF ALL MOMENTS TO CALL YOUR REPS AND TO PROTEST IN THE STREETS. Project 2025 wants to topple the government. (202) 224-3121

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

Dispatch from Pennsylvania on a highly unusual state Supreme Court election—one of the few most consequential matters on the ballot anywhere in the country next month. New from me in @boltsmag.org: boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...
Inside the Clunky Elections to Control Pennsylvania's Supreme Court - Bolts
The GOP is making an expensive push to end Democrats’ majority on a court at the center of election lawsuits, sparking a fledging campaign season with little precedent or template.

Today on Volts: hey listen up! The most important election of the year is happening in Georgia next month. Two seats on the (currently all-GOP) Public Service Commission are up & rising electricity prices are on everyone's mind. This is a bellwether for next year's governor & midterm elections!

Hoping these federal agents are held accountable, breaking the law should have real consequences. A federal judge has ruled that federal immigration agents illegally arrested more than two dozen people.

The ACLU of Illinois, joined by other Chicago immigration advocates, filed a lawsuit against DHS and ICE in March, alleging that the January arrests of 26 individuals across the Midwest violated a 2022 consent decree that bars ICE from detaining people without a warrant or probable cause.

Pritzker is meeting the moment and if he stands up for the people, stands up against Trump's rein of terror, holds ICE accountable, he can elevate himself as a front runner for Dem leadership.

Now is the moment for leaders, not cowards.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"
