Every agent that's being forced into this witch-hunt means one less agent working on critical missions like curbing the flow of fentanyl into the country, or stopping human trafficking and combatting terrorism, etc.

The administration is deliberately making America less safe.

[Hamed Aleaziz @Haleaziz]

Scoop: Hundreds of federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security have been assigned to an intensive, weekslong hunt for noncitizens among the nation’s registered voters despite an absence of evidence of widespread fraud, according to documents and training videos.

I like that this design appears to show the birth date of liberty as 1776, and its death as 2026

.@HouseGOP and @SpeakerJohnson will do anything but pass meaningful legislation to help the American people.

No doubt this will make groceries affordable and bring down the price of gas!

The House votes to condemn socialism
220-192

Eight Democrats vote in favor of the resolution condemning socialism

Two Democrats voted present

[Daniel Delgado @DDinDC]

Strong arming businesses like Intel into selling stock or forcing them to grant the US govt veto power over corporate decisions is LITERALLY communism.

And also exact what the Trump administration has done.

So yeah, it is the enemy of free people everywhere - including here at home.

@politico This biggest threat to our #elections is the Trump administration and every one of his followers who put him above the Constitution. If Secretary Mullin was serious about stopping the threat, he’d start at the White House.

[Daniel Delgado @DDinDC]

Keep in mind the vast majority of drugs - including fentanyl - entering the US come through official ports of entry (~90%) and smuggled by US citizens - not immigrants illegally crossing the border.

Which means #DHS is moving resources away from critical national security missions in place to make Americans safe to deport the guy who has lived here for decades and has been contributing to our economy.

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

BREAKING: Trump's DHS took a step back from seizing Fentanyl so that ICE could terrorize our streets.

In just one year at HSI:
- Fentanyl investigations down 24%
- Fentanyl seizures down 39%
- Hours spent countering fentanyl down approx. 30%

[Third Way @ThirdWayTweet]

One-third of Americans vote by mail. But millions of Americans may not receive their mail-in ballots because Trump illegally ordered the USPS to defy court orders.

Every American should be worried about this threat to our democracy.

[Homeland Dems @HomelandDems]

It’s starting.

Republicans know what’s coming for them in November. They're ready to cheat and are laying the groundwork to lie and cry fraud when they lose.

[Governor JB Pritzker @GovPritzker]

Malört is a staple of our history and our heritage — a rite of passage if you want to prove you’re tough enough to be a Chicagoan.

When I look back on my time as Governor, I will think of the taste of Malört and all of you who joined in the joy of it.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Defying court orders to engage in election interference should bring prison time.

Lock them up.

Defend democracy.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

Max Miller poured boiling water on his wife. This is who Mike Johnson wants in Congress.

[Daniel Delgado @DDinDC]

The “most transparent” administration ever who promised to uphold the law does not actually give a damn about transparency or, surprisingly, the law.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Breaking News: A whistle-blower at the U.S. Postal Service said Trump officials were defying court orders with a “secretive, rushed” effort affecting voting by mail. https://t.co/ZBoklOtvrQ

Hard to imagine a sadder existence than striving to be a trad wife but your food still looks like ass

Powerful. Gina’s not fucking around.

[Sarah Pierce @SarahPierceEsq]

Ten years ago today, Trump gave a speech I haven’t stopped thinking about.

If you know me IRL, I've probably mentioned it.

It was cruel & dishonest. But it set an immigration trap Democrats still haven’t escaped.

I wrote about how to finally get out:

@adeferr Wait wait wait. If so, does that mean I still have a job?? 😂

[Adam Jentleson @AJentleson]

For years Dems have been stuck on the idea that winning more power in more places is not possible.

But this from @jmart shows why that may be changing.

This is what my new book is about: how we won supermajorities in the past and can do so again.
