The regime has named the illegal, fascist occupation of New Orleans by ICE and CBP "Catahoula Crunch". Activists bought the domain name & it now directs people to local & national resources for those directly dealing with this daily terror.

Democrats need to lay the groundwork for reform by attacking the villains on the Supreme Court - loudly, angrily, personally, relentlessly. And they should start now.

Democrats Need to Treat the Supreme Court Like the Villain It Is
The Court is out of control, and we'll never see reform unless we build the case for it. Starting now.

As an inveterate volunteer for my great city's many events - I greeted fans at the Club World Cup last summer here in Philly - I am now torn as to whether I should do so again this summer for the big event.
I always want to show visitors how welcoming we are, but not so much about repping #FIFA now.

In a surprise to no one, FIFA awards its inaugural Peace Prize to Trump. What a joke. Everyone affiliated with FIFA ought to be embarrassed.

Another huge issue, and I don't think people even know this is a thing, is that just about everything is done with smart phones now. And many (most?) seniors literally cannot work their phones. Signing things, texting, dealing with spam and fraud or even using the basic functions? They're often lost

Sneak peak at a fun (if ambitious) project I'm working on:

There are 38 GOP House members who won by less than 15 points *and* whose districts Trump either lost or won by less than 15 points.

I'm plugging in net #ACA premium hikes for enrollees living in all 38 of their home towns.

A Missouri appeals court just handed a big win to reproductive supporters by rewriting a summary of a GOP-backed ballot measure to repeal the right to an abortion after concluding the prior version was misleading in many ways.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

As Trump pardons a real estate developer who’d been charged with corruption by his own Justice Department, an unsettling fact appears obvious:

Trump made a right-turn at *abiding* corruption and is now, though his pardon abuses, effectively *encouraging* corruption. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...
With yet another controversial pardon, Trump derails his own DOJ’s corruption case
There’s a fine line between a president using pardons to abide corruption and using them to encourage corruption.

Congressional Republicans really stepped in it. This resolution states, "Whereas Congress, which holds the power to declare war..." Agreed, but if passed, it makes it clear we are NOT at war with drug cartels, as there was no vote, making the strikes illegal. Thanks, Ryan Zinke!

There’s a media availability at this hour with representatives from all the host cities at various stands - except Philadelphia, Boston, Miami and Atlanta.

Scheduling conflicts and other things with the delegations, I hear.

But it’s not just Philadelphia absent, before people make wisecracks.

This is monumentally hypocritical, and of course he knows it. These Trump goons get off on doing this right in front of our eyes. It makes them feel powerful.
