I have two, simple requests for those who I follow and for those who follow me:

1. Always refer to the Trump administration as the Trump regime.

2. The National Guard, military, and federal agencies occupying U.S. cities must be referred to as occupying forces.

Worth adding: This is not something that only works if every other state does it.

When operating in a state, out-of-state corporations must comply with the same state laws that in-state corporations are subjected to. So each state can do this in a very real way.

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time.

There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi demands access to the Broadview facility.
"I demanded access to the Broadview ICE facility to conduct oversight - as is my right as a Member of Congress. I was denied. No accountability. No transparency. THIS is the Trump Administration."

ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

My latest video for @propublica.org.

House Majority Whip Tom Emmer said the the "terrorist wing" of the Dem Party is set to hold the No Kings protest on Saturday.

Trump has labeled "antifa" as terrorists.

ICE is using mobile cell towers in trucks to collect phone info.

Be peaceful and safe. And maybe leave your phone at home Sat.

They act with impunity because they know they can. For now, anyway.

I bet GruppenFührer Miller knows that Trump does not have two to three years. They had to rush it, accordingly.

I so wish she had said in Italian, "What the fuck is wrong with you?" while smiling so he'd take it as a compliment.
