The Department of Justice announced on Monday it had charged a New Jersey congresswoman with assaulting federal agents during a clash outside a new immigration detention center in Newark and was dropping a trespass charge against the city’s mayor that emerged from the same episode.

Now get on the phone. Go to your Congressional reps' offices and let them have it. This is Russ Vought (director of OMB) and his special and truly weird vendetta and Chris Rufo's mission to drag the USA back to the Stone Age. No one likes this but these sad little men. Get to work.

For clarity, this decision was during the previous Admin. The ruling revolves around timeframes for climate change to impact species. This outcome signals lawsuits make a difference. I don’t like dealing with legal issues at work, but if courts uphold the law then they may be needed, a lot more.

100% this. Rep. DeLauro delivers the most succinct summary of the ways in which RFK Jr. and the Trump White House are breaking the law (Impoundment Control) that I've seen so far.
DeLAURO: Are you planning to break the law by impounding appropriated funds? RFK Jr: If you appropriate the funds, I'm going to spend them D: We have! You're cutting the NIH by $18b. Congress appropriated those funds. How can you justify cutting billions from the biomedical research budget?

TODAY: The House is expected to vote on the GOP's voter suppression bill. We must stop H.R. 22 to protect fair elections in 2026. We’ve seen the damage of similar laws in states like Kansas and Arizona, where thousands of eligible voters were blocked from registering. Call your representative ASAP.
