Contest every race. Have a candidate in every race on every ballot in every county in every state.

Run even if you know you can’t win. Run because you know you can’t win.

No seat uncontested. Bring the fight to every ballot.

Check this out. A private school that receives vouchers Lockeroom. While a public school up the road doesn't even have a track.

This is what it looks like when politicians use tax payer money to reward their donors. Every citizen deserves the same treatment, feed our citizens first.
This is a beautiful new locker room at St Pius in Kansas City. They are a private religious school that accepts taxpayer vouchers for partial tuition.

Anyway, the kids at the public school down the road from me learn to run track when they go to track meets — they don’t have a track of their own.

DOJ has sued 8 states for protecting their citizens' sensitive voter registration data. My law firm has intervened to oppose DOJ's efforts in the first two states -- Maine and Oregon.

Sure it's mental health medication that causes a gun to kill and injure a group of humans in seconds.
As we all know, the United States is the only country on the planet where these drugs exist. It definitely has to be the drugs that we alone use.

Can’t be something else.

Raskin: "I suppose I don't mind being called a loser several times by Trump, given that he's our only president who has lost the popular vote in two different elections and the last time, when he lost by more than 7 million votes to Biden, it upset him so much that he incited an insurrection"

In 2020, when I told people that I was building a pro-democracy media outlet, people thought I was kidding.

When I told them that the fight for democracy was the fight of our time, they thought I was being overly dramatic.

Well...here we are.

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van?

THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS.

THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

Donald Trump still thinks he is shooting a reality TV show where he gets more views from the drama and does not even consider the real ramifications for the public at large.

This is exhausting.

Keep an eye out this weekend for outside agitators like the Proud Boys showing up at the No Kings Protests! They will try to incite violence and blame it on the left as they did during the George Floyd protests.

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons.

Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

Trump wants to suspend Posse Comitatus. People think this is just about his hate for liberal California, but if he invokes the Insurrection Act; it’s all 50 states.

Two kids. Two cities. Left alone on the street while #ICE disappeared the adults beside them.
Tourists detained. Green card holders jailed. International #tourism collapsing.

Trump’s America isn’t just unwelcoming, it’s hostile. And now it’s costing billions.

No Country for Tourists
As Trump’s travel bans expand and ICE detains lawful residents in broad daylight, the world turns away and the American sidewalk becomes a stage for fear, abandonment, and economic self-destruction.

What happens next is lawful immigrants stop following the rules for fear of being nabbed when they show up as required. And this trend will be used to "justify" nabbing more people, more fascism. This is built in.
What infuriates me so much about this new operation is that it is literally punishing people for following the rules and showing up to their court hearings. It is so toxic to the basic concept of following the rules.

It is an operation designed by people who hate the concept of the rule of law.
These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to.

This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented.

So ICE took her into custody.

The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck.

There's a stunning provision tucked into the budget bill that would limit courts' ability to enforce contempt orders, and therefore to uphold the rule of law.

This deserves real alarm. If the Senate values the separation of powers, it must remove the provision.

Health care, student aid, food assistance, public education funding…nothing meaningful to HIM.
Republicans are taking marching orders from a rambling, delusional fraud, and reporters still pretend he’s a serious policymaker.

Trump just said they’re not cutting “anything meaningful.”

That’s rich—unless you rely on Medicaid, food assistance, or public schools.
