DON’T LET THE BANNER THROW YOU OFF This press conference was wild. The kind that makes you sit up and realize what they are really trying to do. This is not the “Save America Act”. It’s a backdoor attempt to make voting harder for millions of people. #SaveActIsPayToVote 1/2

Wiping out vote by mail is not about election security. It’s about shrinking the electorate. It’s how access gets chipped away in plain sight. #SaveActIsPayToVote

🚨 Republicans just passed a law to pack Utah’s Supreme Court by adding two seats. Republicans are doing this following court rulings against their gerrymander and their attempt to gut the ballot initiative process that voters used to ban gerrymandering

Chuck Schumer doing what he does best: folding to Trump’s authoritarian regime and failing the American people. You’d think after last week, he’d understand the moment we’re in and the leverage he has. He must be replaced as leader immediately, and the out-of-touch corporate old guard needs to go.

She runs a large anti-ICE TikTok account—now agents caught on livestream targeting her in violent arrest. Agents drag her out of Tesla & throw her on ground where she lay unresponsive—then rushed by ambulance to hospital. She is well-known to ICE as community activist who films raids Los Angeles.

NEW: Wearing masks, no ID, unmarked & blacked out cars, refusing to say what agency they’re from and using profanity with any press & public nearby. This was at 14th & R in Washington DC, this morning (Sunday). What the hell is happening to the US? (🎥 Dan Rosenzweig-Ziff, Washington Post)

Pritzker: "Gov. Abbott is the joke ... at a time when all of us are concerned about the future of democracy, he's literally helping whittle it away and licking the boots of his leader Donald Trump."

She hasn’t even said she’s running—and they’re already telling her she can’t. That’s how deep the bias runs. The rules change before she even steps on the field.

From Politico: "One former senior Harris staffer put it even more bluntly: “I don’t think she can win the Democratic primary, so therefore, if I was advising her, I would say, ‘Don’t run in 2028.’” I'm guessing one of those Biden holdover staffers who didn't like her from the beginning.

I expect nothing from Republicans. Meanwhile, for Democrats I donated, knocked doors, made phone calls, fundraised, and registered people to vote Blue because they promised to fight for working families. So yes, I will absolutely call out Democrats because I'm not in a cult and I demand justice.

Yeah I’m pretty tired of Dems getting called out constantly and Republicans getting the low-bar pass.

The Big Ugly Bill was designed to delay the damage until after the 2026 midterms. MAGA Americans - Yam Tits and the GOP are f*cking with you big time. OPEN YOUR EYES!

Miami just canceled its November election & pushed it to 2026. No public vote, just canceled. Mayor Suarez & Joe Carollo get to stick around an extra year. This feels like a power grab. If one city can delay elections for “participation,” what’s to stop others from doing it to silence opposition?

This is well stated. Mike Lee will forever be associated in my mind with his unbelievably cruel and stupid tweets about the Hortman assassination. He is a disgrace to the Senate and Utah.

Singer Nezza was told to sing the national anthem in English at the Dodgers game - she sang it in Spanish anyway. The crowd cheered as she finished “The Star-Spangled Banner” en español 🇺🇸🇨🇴🇩🇴 The Spanish version was commissioned by the US govt in 1945 to foster better relations with Latin America.

🚨 There’s a lot of horrific news out of Washington right now—but you might have missed this: Senate Republicans just introduced a plan to sell off 120 million acres of our public lands. Let me break down what’s in the bill and why it’s a full-scale land grab. 🧵

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.
