We should have the House right now. Let me say it again: we should have the House.
This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries.
They can’t win fair, so they cheat.

ICE recruiting is clearly not going well despite $50,000 signing bonuses and promises of student debt relief. To speed things along, ICE is moving people over from FEMA to "assist with... vetting." I think it should read "push anyone with a modicum of interest into the field ASAP"

Now, we have an administration conducting voter suppression in real time. In Texas, Republicans are trying to gut our democracy by redrawing maps to erase 5 Democratic seats—before a single vote is cast.

The Trump administration effectively created a de facto bathroom ban at Brown University and none of the major media is covering it, and if they do, they character it as about sports. This is how the trans visa ban was enacted and characterized.

I was in Vinegar Hill today for lunch and was amazed to see that Eric Adams had turned watching the fireworks on public streets into a ticketed event. It was chaotic and people like me who were just walking through the area couldn't get on many streets.
People with tickets for #Macysfireworks in Brooklyn stood in a line that was 11 blocks long and told after an hour that no one was getting in because it was already full. The cops had no idea what was going on. One said “ask the mayor.” They had closed the park long before but never told anyone.
