I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.

🎉 WIN: The DOJ demanded unredacted voter rolls from 49 states and D.C., seeking sensitive information such as addresses and Social Security numbers. Now, a judge has ruled the department doesn’t have a right to any of it — even the data states handed over voluntarily: demdock.com/4hCYiCO

Pete Hegseth is treating death and cruelty as entertainment. The news of a livestreamed execution for the Fort Hood murderer is beneath our military. I have no sympathy for Nidal Hasan, he massacred 13 innocent people in '09, but justice is solemn, it shouldn't be a spectacle. Link below ⬇️

🚨 IOWA SENATE SHOCKER: Josh Turek is within striking distance of flipping a seat Democrats haven’t won since 2008. Trump carried Iowa by 13 points in 2024. But anger over the economy & the Iran war has transformed the race. A Turek win would help Dems take back the Senate. Let’s finish this. #Vote

There is a suspected outbreak of the plague in Russia. Yes, you read that right. And we cannot trust RFK Jr. and the Trump administration to be prepared to deal with this. We need a Democratic public health doctor in the US Senate.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.

Why is MAGA suddenly enthusiastic about rewriting the history of Watergate? They want to make post-Watergate anti-corruption reform laws go away. If Nixon was never corrupt, those laws were never needed, and Trump and his cronies shouldn't have to abide by them. They are planning ahead.

The White House press corps has proven itself inadequate to meet the moment but capitulation is a choice. The current standoff is the ideal time for responsible outlets to adjust, start behaving as fierce defenders of the truth and of democracy, and rise to meet the occasion.

New approach: If a reporter is interrupted, harassed, insulted, or abused, the press should exit the room. Period. If Trump refuses to answer a legitimate news question or claims it was a dumb question, every other reporter must ask the same question until Trump tires out or answers.
