Trump’s ICE agents have brought fear and terror to our communities. How many people must die for Congress to finally exercise oversight, accountability and fully reform? Stephen Miller must be fired! Today is as good a day as any.

How many completely innocent people have to die before there is accountability? How are communities supposed to feel safe when federal agents act as judge, jury, and executioner?

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

I wouldn't even have a PhD much less an academic career if it were not for the public scholarship, the guidance & the friendship of Prof. Francesca Stavrakopoulou, but she's bafflingly at risk of redundancy because of cuts at @exeter.ac.uk. The world needs her work now more than ever.

New York continues to attract talent from around the world — since 2021, more than 500,000 graduates have moved to this city. But if workers can't afford to stay, businesses can't afford to grow.

My office is demanding the Trump Administration release any and all records on the Trump DOJ’s politically motivated, baseless fishing expedition. The American people deserve to know who ordered this abuse of power and how far it goes.
Governor Gavin Newsom today announced his office filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking records from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) related to President Donald Trump's politically motivated investigation into the Governor and First Partner Jennifer Siebel Newsom.

The investigation, which Governor Newsom announced earlier today, was ordered by President Trump after publicly calling for Newsom's arrest.

An incredibly bleak night for democracy. One of the nation's top journalists was fired for standing up for journalism. Then SCOTUS decided: Hey, it's OK, Alabama. Be racist as you want to be. We won't stop your efforts to disenfranchise people. November's a start but it's going to be just the start

Widespread news reports reiterate that Trump failed at regime change, left intact 75 percent of Iran’s missile capacity, lost the Strait of Hormuz as an international waterway, flushed down the drain $25B (for starters) in immediate defense costs, and burdened Americans with sky-high gas prices.

‘F around and find out’ is still the Democrats’ position on redistricting and is even more so our position after the SCOTUS ruling. Hakeem Jeffries is talking about a scenario when Illinois, Maryland, Colorado, and New York are totally blue. We could get 52 seats in California.

This is a massive and unconstitutional voter suppression effort aimed at giving Trump the power to create a list of who is allowed to vote by mail. We know where this will go -- the targeting of Democrats for mass disenfranchisement. We will sue and we will win.

Dear Women’s USA Olympic Hockey Team — First, congratulations! Second: I drove race cars for 19 yrs & the amount of misogynistic crap I put up with in the garage was insane. The U.S. Men’s Hockey Team has now shown you their true colors. Believe them. They’re not friends of your team or women in general. I’m so tired of this misogyny in sports & everywhere else in American life, to be honest. The patriarchy sucks. Grow the fuck up or hand the keys over to the ladies. Maybe it’s time we drive.

Let it sink in that two people had to die (that we know of), hundreds had to be forced out from their homes, and a whole community had to live in fear for Trump to pull ICE and CBP out of Minnesota. This is definitely a win, but what it took to get here should stay with us forever.
