To stop Trump policies, Democrats must take back House. However, we cannot flip a House seat, including CA48, without money!💰

We have 2 weeks to go for quarterly FEC deadline.⌛️ Chip in $10, $20, or more, so our next FEC report reflects our power! ✊

Prop 50 will have an *interesting* impact on the CA48 race because it will mean there are 10-20 candidates instead of 4.

But I'm in this race either way. 👍

The good news is The Fallbrook Village News published my pro-Prop 50 letter. The bad news is I’m now “Carl Morrison.” 🤣

When those complaining about “the cost of Emergency Medicaid for illegals” travel abroad, every country on earth will step up and provide them emergency medical services when needed.

They want to create a world where the sick are left to die on sidewalks in front of hospitals.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

Petitioner’s counsel has requested documentation of a judicial warrant for his arrest, any charging documents, or other authority supporting his detention. See Santiago Decl. ¶¶ 18–20. ICE has provided no response. Id. To date, ICE has not placed Petitioner in removal proceedings, charged him with violating immigration law, set bond, issued a Notice to Appear, or otherwise processed him. See Pet. ¶¶ 16, 49. In Respondent’s Opposition brief, the government states “ICE intends to take further action consistent with the laws prescribed under the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) once Petitioner is released from medical care and it can conduct the examination as [prescribed] in 8 C.F.R § 287.3.” Opp. at 4. Neither Petitioner nor Respondents have provided the Court with information about Petitioner’s citizenship, whether he has violated any law or regulation, or any information that would suggest that Petitioner is a flight risk.

FAQ: Are you accepting money from AIPAC?
Answer: No! In my view, candidates who accept money from AIPAC, like the incumbent Darrell Issa, are complicit in genocide and apartheid.

What has Darrell Issa done to stop the genocide in Gaza?

This morning, I read that Israel struck a high-rise building in Gaza City. As an American who's been alive for a minute, I remember what we call people who attack tall buildings.

What really bothers me about Schumer and Jeffries is that they aren't acting like they want power to become the most powerful congressional leaders since Henry Clay. They don't act like they want to center congress on our political life. They are playing for the second fiddle.

Dumbstash @dnlmsstch.bsky.social · 17d

Congress does not and cannot accept this delegitimazation by the court. It has the constitutional authority to dismiss these justices (It lacks political will) That would not be a threat to institutional legitimacy at this point because the court should be seen as legitimate

Update in Thein v Trump (our DV lottery lawsuit where we won a preliminary injunction regarding Trump's authority under INA 212(f) that Trump now appeals):

Clerk has set deadlines in that appeal.

“I want to say it’s nuts that the proclamation cites 8 U.S.C. 1182(f) as authority, when that provision only gives the president authority to prevent entry, and gives the president no authority with respect to petition approval or visa issuance,” said Morrison.

The Trump Administration has filed a notice of appeal of our partial victory against travel ban in Thein v Trump. The appeal is likely about administration’s unwillingness to accept their misinterpretation of law, b/c they don’t care about the law. #immigration #immigrationlaw #pp10949 #ca48
