BREAKING: Mike Johnson just told Fox that he might start a lawn business if he loses the gavel. He doesn’t want you to know he’s also fighting for his own seat. When he loses that too he can cut the grass instead of Medicaid. I’m Conrad Cable and I’m running to make it happen.

The raid on Rep. Omar is a FIVE ALARM FIRE. Trump is weaponizing the federal government to go after an opposition leader and escalate his viciously racist campaign against Somali Americans. We stand with Ilhan.

This morning, the federal government turned the full force of the Department of Homeland Security against a sitting member of Congress for the offense of disagreeing with the White House.

The path to citizenship should not be weaponized against anyone, including Rep. Ilhan Omar, a naturalized American who swore an oath to this country — the same one that I took.

The promise of citizenship should not be contingent on someone agreeing with the federal government.

TEXAS IS IN PLAY! Gina Hinojosa’s latest internal poll has her clocking Greg Abbott! 🔵 Hinojosa: 47% 🔴 Abbott: 45% Why do internal polls matter? Campaigns use them to identify weaknesses, target persuadable voters, and this one reinforces recent public polls showing a VERY competitive race.

A Trump supporter punched a protester wearing a “Release the Epstein Files” shirt in the face at Trump’s rally in Youngstown, OH. According to Mediaite, police removed the protester while the attacker stayed and “high-fived other attendees”. This is disgraceful and sums up the entire MAGA movement.

Monarchs remain without protections while the decision is pending. The agency could act sooner, but this agreement allows years more of waiting. 😔

Renee Good's family filed two lawsuits today. The first, against, USG, is a standard wrongful death. The second is a Klan Act lawsuit against Jonathan Ross, AND STEPHEN MILLER and Greg Bovino. It names Nick Shirley and Christopher Rufo as non-party co-conspirators for their racist propaganda.
44. At all relevant times, Defendants Ross, Miller, Noem, Lyons, Homan,
Bovino, and the John Doe Federal Agents acted under color of federal law and within the
scope of a joint enterprise with the private actors described below. Defendant
Lewandowski acted in part under color of federal law and in part, as alleged below, as a
private person, his federal status having been limited to a temporary part-time designation
that his conduct exceeded. Shirley, Rufo, and Ben Bergquam, and the other non-party
private actors described below, agreed to and in fact participated in the conspiracy alleged
here: each acted in concert with, and with the knowledge and encouragement of, federal
