Blumenthal: ICE and CBP are out of control. The practices of this agency have to be completely overhauled. It’s like a corporation in bankruptcy—either dissolved or reorganized. They’re morally bankrupt, legally bankrupt, and politically bankrupt.
The problem with the Olympics in 2026 is that it has always been an event that draws attention to the United States, and we are too embarrassed by our country right now for that to be comfortable.
Good question @democrats.org. Why the hell are you still on that propaganda site? Comments are filled with bots and trolls for those in Congress. There is no value staying on the site.
Get yourself to an art museum. I always feel relaxed after viewing original art & it turns out it's good for your heart too. Keep your bedroom dark at night. Findings in a study show your at a higher risk of developing heart failure if you don't keep your room dark.

If we want to keep earning back the trust and support of voters, we have to listen to them.
That’s why we’re launching the new voter contact operation, Local Listeners, to reach out to hundreds of thousands of voters.
These 1:1 conversations are how we win in 2026 and beyond.
NEW: We’re launching Local Listeners, a new voter contact program to engage 1+ million infrequent voters in key districts and states ahead of the midterms.
We’re building Democratic power for the 2026 elections and beyond.
Garcia, up again, ends by holding up a photo of Stephen Miller and says:
"There is probably no single person who has done more damage and more harm to people across this country...than this man right here. It's our job...to hold him responsible for the crimes that are happening to U.S. citizens."
Renee Good's brother: Renee had a way of showing up in the world that made you believe things were going to be okay. Not because she ignored the hardship, but because she chose optimism anyway. She chose to look for what was good, what was possible, and what was worth loving.
If you care about our democracy, follow.
Every generation needs to reclaim democracy for itself so democracy can continue to move forward. We are an imperfect union so don't waste time looking for perfection. Just get involved & do the best you can to make it better as generations before you have.
Thanks to a court ruling today, extending Temporary Protected Status, Haitians in Springfield, Ohio, and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnics cleansing operation. The ruling is notable.
BREAKING: Judge Ana Reyes, in DC, issues a stay of DHS Sec. Noem’s decision to end Haiti’s temporary protected status (TPS) designation, a decision that was to go into effect on Tuesday and could have ended legal status for up to 350,000 people overnight. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
It takes time to rebuild a party. Investing in Democratic state parties all year round is a good start rather than a month or weeks before an election.
Good news for Haitians in Springfield, OH for now. "When good things happen, we have to recognize it. We've got to take the win."
Remember the terror Vance unleased about Springfield during the campaign about eating cats and dogs. I haven't forgotten.
A good thing happened today: Haitians in Springfield, Ohio and elsewhere are (for now) safe from the planned ethnic cleansing operation. This happened because people came together — organizers, reporters, and those who care — and made it happen. Let’s take the win and continue the work.

What these women choose to do each day is beyond my understanding of what it means to be a woman grounded in faith. There isn't enough Botox, facelifts or crosses that will give them what their deep inner souls are yearning for. They are empty vessels.
These miserable Boxtox Barbies are willing to deny sexual assault survivors justice, exacerbate their trauma, and stand in the way of justice—all to line their own pockets, keep their party in power, and protect the Predator-In-Chief.

The federal presence in Minnesota has been especially tough on our local businesses.
Choosing to shop local, grab takeout, or visit a neighborhood store is one way we can stand with our neighbors and continue to show the nation what it means to respond with care and decency.
Two global trading houses that brokered an opaque deal with the Trump admin this month to sell Venezuelan oil were previously prosecuted for bribery schemes involving oil sales elsewhere… A senior trader at Vitol donated $6 million to Trump’s 2024 election. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
IF this search is concerning the 2020 election, I would be curious how this Administration overcame the "staleness" issue, ie it has to show to the court signing the search warrant that there is probable cause of a crime still, that exists now, at that location, 6 years later?
Noem blames Miller in her 2 hour meeting with the boss. Miller gets a talking too probably by Trump & puts out a weak statement. Homan is sent out to MN to clean up the mess. Bovino is sent home.
What a f...ing mess! Let the infighting continue!

Reminder that, as of the latest reports, Liam Ramos is still in prison in Texas - now for 5 days.
His parents are legal asylum seekers with no criminal record.
Lots of scrambling today by the terrible regime.
I want to argue that our goal should be to get Miller removed, that has to be the focus. Noem, Bovino, etc are all just middle managers. The architect of the terror regime is Miller.

In my a new post I talk about how JD Vance and Stephen Miller have been responsible for the two biggest political disasters of Trump's second term so far - Greenland and Minnesota. Their "rules no longer apply to us" project is taking a huge, deserved hit.

Suozzi has been a huge disappointment, is not listening to his constituents.
He votes against them & time will tell if he has woken to the point where he will stop doing it. The constituents are his boss, not the data bros, strategists or commentators.
The Democratic commentators, "strategists," and data bros who've been counseling appeasement of Trump's fascism need to take responsibility for how unbelievably fucking wrong they were.
For history tells us that appeasement signals weakness, encourages escalation, and accelerates freedom's end.
