Getting ready to head out to the Long Beach rally!

Doesn’t start until 12 but I’m pretty sure parking’s going to be an issue

Deirdre Schiffling of the ACLU at the DC #NoKings rally:

"The courage that we are creating here today across the nation is contagious.

It's powerful, and it's exactly what they're afraid of."

I was in that interview with Alex Acosta—what I heard was deflection, not truth.

The Oversight Committee, with Speaker Mike Johnson present, heard a survivor testify that Epstein abused girls while in jail.

The cover-up has gone on long enough. Release the full Epstein files.

Weingarten: There are so many people who want to fight for our democracy and say no kings. And what I have just been told, that in New York City, there are more people at Times Square than there are on New Year's Eve

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

White words on a black background read:

50+
Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino.

~130
Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers.

~20
Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

There’s a lot of misinformation flying around — so let’s set the record straight.

Democrats came to the table with a responsible plan to fund the government and protect your healthcare. But Republicans chose chaos over compromise.

You deserve the facts — not the spin.
