This could have been a debate. While Ken Paxton refuses to face James Talarico on the debate stage, James will be answering questions directly from Texans LIVE on CNN. Find a watch party near you: www.mobilize.us/texasdemocra...

MEL BROOKS talks about giving GENE WILDER his first cup of coffee, plying him with chocolate, and how their working relationship beautifully mirrored Fellini’s with Alberto Sordi. “Everything Gene did for me as a film artist was angelic & supreme.”

I just received the first prints of WTF America, and my official unboxing assistant, and full-time princess, just gave it two very enthusiastic thumbs up. We dedicated the book to you, the Meidas Mighty, and all you’ve done to save democracy. bit.ly/wtfamericaso... – Ben

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.

Jon Ossoff didn’t just show up to debate Mike Collins. He owned the stage. Calm, confident, prepared, and in complete control. Collins, on the other hand, looked like he regretted showing up.

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

Nothing to see here...just the President of the United States inviting the country he illegally declared war on to "take out" 2 major American cities. If that's not treason, what is? 🤬 Law enforcement won't hold him accountable, but we WILL! The beginning of the end is on November 3rd. #VOTE-BLUE 🌊

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Katie Phang on Blanche: What are you trying to hide? Who are you protecting? This is the permissive culture that is created, that is then buttressed by conduct by people like the AG to protect perpetrators, co-conspirators, enablers of crimes. Crimes against children, crimes against women.
