Remember when Ted Cruz and other Republicans swooned over Russian military ads to mock Biden and our “woke” troops? An estimated 1.5 million Russian casualties later, Ukraine is still standing. Turns out cosplay tough isn’t real tough

Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power. It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.

Fantastic news in our defense against Donald Trump's attacks on our Constitution and elections. Make no mistake: Trump won't stop trying to illegally seize power or deface our democracy. California will keep fighting back.

Last week, I met with young leaders from the My Brother's Keeper Alliance at the Obama Presidential Center. They shared more about the work they’re doing at school, their goals for the future, and even gave me an update on their class elections. Take a look!

Meta recently updated their terms of service to require any businesses that use their products to turn over their intellectual property in exchange for access to their platforms. I’m urging Meta to reverse this decision and compensate creators and publishers for their work.

Scott Presler is one of the GOP’s most famous election integrity guys. He spends all day reminding his followers to “report any suspicious activity.” The Bulwark did, and an election lawyer said it isn’t a close call. Remember this next time MAGA starts up the voter fraud nonsense. Link in reply.

Safer communities start with accountability, prevention, and hope. With crime at record lows across California, we're continuing to invest in law enforcement, victim support, and rehabilitation at facilities like San Quentin to give people the tools to turn their lives around.

Folks, if you hate authoritarianism, you should be feeling good this morning. In Serbia, a student-led movement just ousted a longtime strongman, peacefully. And we Americans should be paying attention, because we have a chance in November to send a similar message. (link below)

As always, Trump is right. “Incumbent” is like “dumb.” Unless you’re a stable genius like the president, you’d never know it has a “b.” Obviously the election must be cancelled.

An American student with a disability is suffering from a broken wrist and a black eye after ICE wrongfully tackled and detained him in Santa Maria. Americans didn’t ask to be brutalized by ICE. They sure as hell shouldn’t be paying for its actions with broken limbs.

In state election boards & county offices, GOP officials have been closing polling places and making it harder to vote. The bet is that enough people will get tired, give up, and stay home.

I’m leading an inquiry of the largest social media companies on their efforts to combat the spread of fraudulent material online seeking to disenfranchise U.S. voters. At this late stage and with voting already underway, the responses we have received to date are inconsistent and inadequate.

Our foreign service is supposed to transcend admins. That's why we have career officials to maintain the continuity of American diplomacy regardless of who is in the White House. The State Dept's reported move to withhold promotions from applicants who didn't vote for Trump only makes us less safe.

ICE said Antonio Moreida jumped onto the hood of their vehicle. Now a local police investigation concludes that an ICE agent struck him with his SUV. The routine lying by ICE is the result of the example set by leadership of the Department of Homeland Security.

Good on Monica Alba for persisting with a thoroughly legitimate question. Trump’s attack on her answered the question: Sexual abuse means nothing to Donald Trump. Zip, zero, zilch.

Q: Now that you know the backstory about Amy Acton and her stepfather and why she hasn't talked to her mom in so long -- her stepfather was indicted for rape -- do you change your mind about the ad? TRUMP: No. No. It's a mother speaking badly against Amy Acton. You don't know anything.

This disturbing action is yet another effort by the President to seed the ground to challenge the results after the midterms. That Blanche and DOJ appointees would participate in it, however, shows how complicit the Justice Department now is in election interference efforts.

Donald Trump hasn't even gotten to Election Day and his administration is already trying to stop a state from certifying a result. I don't want to jump to conclusions about where this ends. But this could be the beginning of the admin's effort to meddle in the midterms and we need to pay attention.
