LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.”

What are we doing?

Yes, it will be a perfect storm.

The main goal is to stop this kind of partisan politics in the future with federal laws, as Newsom laid out in the beginning of his campaign for Proposition 50.

And that means you have to fight fire with fire.

What happened in California’s election while you were sleeping
Gov. Gavin Newsom scored a major win with Proposition 50, allowing California to use newly drawn congressional maps that favor Democrats. Here's what you need to know.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

We’re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.

We can’t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.
Breaking from NJ AG Platkin:

"Early this morning, law enforcement responded to threats that were received by email involving certain polling places in Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic Counties. Law enforcement … have worked swiftly to secure these polling locations."

In California, the DOJ has deployed poll monitors in Los Angeles, Orange, Kern, Riverside, and Fresno Counties. In New Jersey, they’re stationed in Passaic County. Don’t let these voter intimidation tactics by the Trump administration stop you from voting.

Six months after ICE apprehended 47 people, including nine kids, in Hays County, Tex., County Judge Ruben Becerra says DHS has ignored his attempts to get answers:

“We’re not told why they took them, and we’re not told where they took them. By definition, that’s a kidnapping.”
How Trump is Building a Violent, Shadowy Federal Police Force
Trump’s DHS appointees have dismantled civil rights guardrails, protected agents’ anonymity and encouraged them to wear masks, threatened groups that stood in their way, and overwhelmed legal challeng...

I'm so disgusted by this. If you read the full transcript with all the most damning parts cut out, it's even worse.
When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

California YES on 50🇺🇸 Drop boxes close at 8pm tomorrow. If you mail through USPS, you must have your ballot metered stamped or it won't be counted. Love this sign showing up lately.

It would be hard to explain to younger generations that 60 Minutes was once a real news organization and United States was once a serious country run by actual adults and not 79 year old drug-addicted rapists.

WE the people are not scared that you might order the National Guard and the Armed Forces of the United States military to stand against US. They are OUR sons & daughters, grandsons & granddaughters, nephews & nieces and no matter what you order - we raised them right. We do NOT fear them.

The Trump admin has the money to keep SNAP running — they’re just refusing to use it.

There’s no excuse for playing politics with people’s ability to eat.
Reposted by ZenWarrior
More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

So Trump's shutdown strategy is pure political sadism: hurt Democratic voters and call it negotiation. Johnson's pious whining about 'pain' is grotesque when his boss is gleefully turning the screws. What a vile duo.
Trump Isn’t Easing the Shutdown Pain—He’s Inflicting It
Mike Johnson says the president is protecting Americans from the shutdown. That’s completely wrong.
