Count on it 👇

Nevada election officials said Thursday that 185 voters in the state who the Department of Homeland Security identified as noncitizens were all, in fact, citizens — the latest snafu in the department’s attempts to uncover illegal voters across the country. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

We’re outraged by the antisemitic attack at Central Synagogue and condemn the unconscionable targeting of a place of worship. Jewish Americans, like all Americans, must be able to practice our faith in safety and security, without fear of attack.

Could not say it better than Bruce…..

Ya Think?

“Republican friendly” is just a sanitized way of saying racist here www.nytimes.com/2026/06/02/u...

6 months from the midterms

Bring your family and friends to the No Kings protests a week from today. It's important.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

There are serious reasons why other presidents avoided war against Iran. Reasons that have surprised Trump and his regime of yes people.

Your Jewish friends and neighbors are tired. Sometimes we just want you to understand why our community and our synagogues being repeatedly attacked is frightening, without explaining it away because of the Mideast or comparing it to other forms of hate.

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS DALLAS” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

This is the ad that Fox News does NOT want you to see. Fox News rejected our newest ad, which demonstrates that Trump has “gone too far” with ICE. But we will not remain silent in the face of these attacks. Share our ad and follow @usjewishdems.bsky.social to join us in the fight.

As is so often the case with this administration, it’s not the what, but the how. And then they pretend that critics are attacking the former rather than the latter. Don’t fall for it. The rule of law does not permit the ends to justify the means. When you’ve lost Joe Rogan…

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition. Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

Also, my father’s final words to me were to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex’s sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration. In my dad’s words, I encourage you all to continue to “fight the good fight.”

You did not bear the shame. You resisted. You bestowed the eternally vigilant symbol of change by sacrificing your impassioned lives for freedom, justice and honour. — The German Resistance Memorial in Berlin

Renee Good’s last words were to ICE agent Jonathan Ross: “That’s fine, dude. I’m not mad at you.” Then Ross shot Renee three times in the face. As she was dying, his last words to her were: “Fucking bitch.” And JD Vance thought that exchange exonerated ICE. That says it all.

ICE policy requires the use of bodyworn cameras. Video should be available from every agent who was involved in the death of a citizen in Minneapolis. ICE should release all of that video so the public can have clarity about the Secy's claim the shooting was self defense. www.ice.gov/news/release...

The woman murdered in cold blood in Minneapolis today by ICE on behalf of Trump was not, as Sec. Noem, a "domestic terrorist." ICE agents were the domestic terrorists here—and they work for her, and ultimately him.

Feel good about yesterday’s results but recognize that Leah is right: The MAGA fascists are going to try even harder to steal elections. When we fight, we win.

In the midst of a government shutdown, and in the face of fundamental challenges to the rule of law and to democratic accountability, the House of Representatives--the people's house, the heart of our democratic republic--hasn't cast a vote since Sep. 19. An extraordinary failure of responsibility.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

#ICYMI: Yesterday’s “One First” summarized just how weak the defenses of the Supreme Court’s behavior on Trump-related emergency applications have been—and explained what someone would have to do to *actually* defend all that the Court’s majority has been doing: www.stevevladeck.com/p/183-the-mi...

Attend "No Kings" to protest the pro-kings.

The editors of the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) were apparently fired today. The precursor to MMWR began in 1878 to address emerging public health threats rapidly. We are not “great” without it. We are vulnerable to threats from sporadic foodborne illness to bioterrorism.

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

Nobel Peace Prize Committee Reviews Trump’s Application

DHS says an operation last week in which agents raided a Chicago apartment building, rappelled in from helicopters, broke down doors and detained numerous residents, resulted in the arrest of two suspected gang members. www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

Agents went to almost every single door in the building, zip-tying people regardless of citizenship and ignoring requests to see a warrant. This attack on our communities is a fundamental threat to the freedom of each and every one of us.

4/ Congressman Dan Goldman promised to follow up on the incident, which he called another example of “secret police officers who are attacking our communities with excessive violence…and they just think that they can do it with impunity, because nobody is holding them accountable.”

So many coverups. Release the Epstein files. Release the Homan tapes. Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

ILLINOIS — Trump’s Gestapo violently throws female congressional candidate @KatAbughazaleh to the ground to the ground

You may have warm feelings for Mickey Mouse and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, but the reason Kimmel is off TV is that Disney surrendered to fascist extortion.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Incredible. Trump drags the reputation of a highly regarded economist, first Black woman to be a Fed gov, thru the mud claiming she committed mortgage fraud. But the documents his appointee to run Fannie & Freddie got for him & that he said showed fraud don’t actually say that.

NEW: No, Charlie Kirk was not practicing politics the right way. That's what Ezra Klein said. We can condemn this heinous assassination but also recognize that with his 2020 election denialism and extremist rhetoric, Kirk built his movement with falsehoods and in a wrong and divisive manner.

So racial profiling is legal now? @leahlitman.bsky.social on SCOTUS' unhinged immigration ruling

#FreeDC Mass march hitting the streets of DC now.
