Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

If Trump is serious about ending Noem’s tenure, DHS should immediately reverse her decisions to:

**put ICE in schools, hospitals, and houses of worship

**make it harder for people fleeing autocratic nations to seek asylum

**deprive people of due process

Until then, we will still be in court.

In this 2024 interview, Jack Hughes, who just scored the game-winning goal for the US Olympic hockey team, explains why it was important for him to embrace Pride Night when many other NHL players refused to do so.

CNN: "Another photograph - these are notes AG Bondi brought to the hearing today. This shows a list of Rep. Jayapal's search history. Lawmakers are allowed to go to a DOJ facility to search unredacted files. We learned from this photo that the searches are apparently being tracked & read by the DOJ"

Chris Murphy: "This is really scary because what Bovino essentially told you is that if you just happen to be present when they are undertaking an operation, if you pull out your phone to record it, the use of force against you is justified. That is not true, it's not what the law says."

Frey: "I've seen conduct from ICE that is disgusting & intolerable. If it were your city, it would unacceptable there too. ICE can leave & this massive deployment can come to an end. We have filed litigation to hopefully make it so, but I'm deeply concerned we don't have that kind of time."

"If you look at job growth between January and September ... for the past 15 years, it's only been worse once, and that was during the pandemic ... It is the worst first nine months for the labor market in 15 years."

Republicans want to starve children to pressure Democrats into gutting healthcare.

How do we know?

Mike Johnson just admitted it.

Starting Saturday, millions will log on to sign up for health coverage.

But this year, too many will see premiums that doubled or tripled.

Why? Because Republicans shut down the government to rip away the tax credits that keep care affordable.

NEW: Trump has targeted political foes β€” including Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook β€” for claiming more than one primary residence on their loan papers.

But ProPublica found that at least three of the president’s Cabinet members have done the same thing.

As people in DC experience occupation, here are some tips to know your rights:
🧡🧡

(1) you do have rights; neither the White House or law enforcement can take them away β€” know them

(2) you can remain silent if you are stopped β€” you can say nothing and say that you want to speak to a lawyer.

What if I told you that the Republicans just passed a bill that cuts health insurance, takes away jobs, raises energy prices, and gives tax breaks to billionaires...

And there's literally no benefits. No trade offs. That's the bill.

At 9:30 AM today the DC Circuit will hear arguments on the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $20 billion program aimed squarely at lowering energy costs for families and communities that the private market consistently fails to reach. A refresher on Trump's attempted bank heist: 🧡

Texas bill could punish bookstores for 'obscene' books A new bill in the Texas Legislature, authored by Rep. Nate Schatzline, would allow businesses to be held liable if a minor reports damages from "obscene" books.

It was never just about schools, it was never just about libraries, and it isn't actually about the books.

It's about finding a way to banish entire people, entire ideas, out of society, back into the closet or worse.

The Loan Programs Office (LPO) is one of the most quietly effective tools the federal government has. It is the center of our industrial policy providing loans that banks won't give for energy innovation. It funds real projects. Battery factories. Nuclear reactors. Geothermal energy. Car factories.
