AOC: You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to keep people from getting poisoned, from dangerous chemicals

You're damn right that it's a Democratic priority to bring down the cost of housing

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."

The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm'

Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

I urge our nation to use this weekend's No Kings marches as a declaration of independence against the tyranny and lawlessness currently running this country.

Use your voice. ACT PEACEFULLY. Protect yourself and your community.

THERE ARE NO KINGS IN THE UNITED STATES.

Parents of NT kids, my ND 19-year-old took Amtrak by herself home for fall break and got to the train station hours early because her last class ended before she'd thought and she changed her ticket (and got a $22 refund for me, since it was my card).

This is a BFD.

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

Good news for your ICE FOIA requests: Judge orders ICE agents in Chicago to 1) wear body cameras and 2) keep them on.

Cite this order if and when the agency tells you it has no records responsive to your request for body worn camera footage.

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 7h

Ellis also says she's modifying the restraining order:

"All agents who are operating in operation midway blitz are to wear body worn cameras and they are to be on."

If they did some shit like that they are probably dickless incels. And, we should consider not referring to them as federal agents or officers as the regime would like us to. It does an injustice to upstanding federal officers. I suggest we call them Nazi mercenaries being paid with federal funds.

If you're a federal officer that pants a woman to embarrass her

As long as I live, I will never forgive Mitch McConnell for both causing irreparable damage to the Supreme Court, and not voting to convict Donald Trump.
