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.

It is not a great look that some senior Democratic leaders have had time to put out statements on social media about how much they'll miss Lindsey Graham but haven't had time to talk about these latest executions carried out by Trump's gestapo in American streets.

Texas is changing—and so are its suburbs. James Talarico just drew 4,000+ people in Plano, the heart of Collin County, once considered a Republican fortress. Crowds don't vote by themselves, but they do signal energy. Voters don't work for politicians. Politicians work for voters. #Texas #Vote

Trump's DOJ is threatening to arrest and imprison Oregon's Secretary of State on the basis of false claims about supposed widespread voting by non-citizens.

Secretary of State Tobias Read & X.com
@ORSecretaryRead
Yesterday, I received a letter from the U.S.
Department of Justice stating that the federal government was ready to prosecute and imprison me and other elections officials and renewing their attempts to unlawfully meddle in Oregon elections. Here's my response:
The U.S. DOJ is knocking on our door again with more threats and no evidence to back up their fever dreams about non-existent voter fraud.
Oregon elections are secure, accurate, and fair.
These are facts backed up by decades of work by local elections officials who follow the law.
I'm not intimidated by political threats or manufactured controversy. My priority is making sure Oregonians can continue to hold government accountable, free from any interference by politicians in Washington D.C.
We've beaten back every illegal executive order and lawsuit so far. We're ready to do it again, as many times as it takes.
If the President actually wanted to strengthen our elections, there are better places to start: adequately funding election administration, restoring the federal election cybersecurity program he cut, and expanding access to vote-by-mail, paper ballot elections - just to name a few.

The Houston Chronicle, largest newspaper in Houston endorse James Talarico! 👏 Writing, “Texans deserve better than Ken Paxton’s moral rot’… Paxton’s documented deeds prove he’s a man of low character, lacking integrity. An extremely very poor candidate for an even more powerful political office.

What most Americans know about EVs is propaganda from the fossil fuel industry mortified at the prospect of loss of their leading source of sales. Now that millions of electric vehicles have been on the road for a decade or more, we have the data to check in on how their batteries are holding up.

It's unthinkable that a U.S. Senator would vote against releasing the Epstein files instead of demanding accountability. But that's exactly what Jon Husted did. Even worse, just weeks before that vote, Husted accepted a maximum campaign contribution from one of Jeffrey Epstein's co-conspirators.

With this ruling, the birthright issue is not going away. The right hasn't really begun *organizing* around getting rid of the citizenship clause. Like Roe, this will be their fight for a generation. And if the Democrats just say "we won" and ignore it, like Roe, the Republicans will eventually win.
