NEW: The Department of Justice (DOJ) under President Donald Trump has turned its Civil Rights Division’s mission on its head, a federal judge said in a decision blocking the administration from demanding states’ unredacted voter rolls. https://t.co/rTwTdvMqUF

Good morning and Happy Friday to everyone who knows that the MAJORITY of people detained, harassed, and abused by ICE are nonviolent people, and 73% don't even have a criminal record.

So what happened to the "worst of the worst?" WHY IS ICE SHOOTING AT 5 YEAR OLDS?

FUCK ICE.

[Ed Krassenstein @EdKrassen]

This is amazing to watch.

Watch as White construction workers tell ICE agents to "go f-ck yourselves" when ICE shows up at a construction site.

BREAKING: The Nobel Committee has decided to award the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize to Navanethem “Navi” Pillay.

She Defended Nelson Mandela and other activists fighting against apartheid in South Africa.

Note: It is NOT Trump!!

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

When they indict Cassidy Hutchinson it'll be a great opportunity for her and her legal team to find a way to put in the record the powerful 50-, 60-, 70-year-old GOP members of Congress who secretly propositioned her sexually when she was college-age (20)

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Ossoff is so fucking good at this:

“Members of Congress like Mike, they knew exactly what that vote would do to you.

So when you get home and you get that letter from your insurance company, and you just came from the grocery store where you couldn't buy ground beef for your kids because of the tariffs, and you could only fill up half a tank of gas because of the war, and you open the notice from your insurance company and your premiums have doubled, this man is responsible for that.

And he still refuses tonight to explain why he voted to double your health insurance premiums.

And I think that's disqualifying for a candidate for US Senate. Let's see if he has the courage to explain his votes.”

[Adam Parkhomenko @AdamParkhomenko]

HUGE crowd last night in Kansas for Democrat Adam Hamilton who is running for US Senate. This is not good for Republicans but great for democracy.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Mamdani: There is no explanation for these tactics. There is no explanation for federal officers firing this many rounds into a car that has a five year old in the car. Look at how many people live right here. This is a residential neighborhood. We are right here by a subway. 

And the pretext of ICE is, in their words, to keep this country safe. How is it keeping everyone safe to have, as you just heard from the police commissioner, individuals wearing construction vests in masks with long guns? Residents have no idea if these are law enforcement agents, or if they are simply attacking someone on the street. And when it comes to ICE, it begs the question, what's the difference? There is no explanation for this.

[Adam Kinzinger (Slava Ukraini) 🇺🇸🇺🇦 @AdamKinzinger]

Fresh out of the movie "Idiocracy," Pete Hegseth is treating death and cruelty as entertainment. The news of his plans for the livestreamed execution of the Fort Hood murderer is beneath the U.S. military. I have no sympathy for Nidal Hasan, he massacred 13 innocent people in 2009, but stooping to this level is unheard of.

Justice is solemn, it shouldn't be a spectacle. Our military isn't a reality show. Full video at the link below ⬇️

Want to flip the House and finally see some accountability for our government. This is one of the seats that can really do it. https://t.co/eoH3sn5XBS

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Trump has denied disaster relief for Illinois following severe August storms.

He approved a request from Indiana for damage arising from the same storms.

One's a "blue state", the other "red."

No other president has politicized disasters the way he has.

[BrooklynDad_Defiant!☮️ @mmpadellan]

Mayor Mamdani is 100% right:

NOBODY can tell if these unhinged ICE agents, dressed as construction workers with their faces covered, are ICE agents, or just masked gunmen.

They do NOT make Americans safer.
They shot in a car with a 5 year old!

FUCK ICE.

[Occupy Democrats @OccupyDemocrats]

BREAKING: KNOCKOUT PUNCH! Sen. Jon Ossoff wipes the floor with his MAGA opponent during their debate with one of the most brutal soundbites ever.

Republican Mike Collins should have just stayed home...

"Georgia has voter ID, and that's good. Mike Collins and Donald Trump, they're still obsessed with overturning the 2020 election," Ossoff said in response to a question about voting rules. "Mike Collins still believes the 2020 election was stolen.

"Mike Collins has supported Donald Trump's effort to overturn the election, and he wants to give your tax dollars to the violent thugs and criminals who sacked the U.S. Capitol on January 6th," he continued. "Mike Collins is attacking your voting rights, but that's not a surprise when you consider who Mike Collins is..."

"This is a man who cheered on a group of young men who were mocking a black woman on a college campus with monkey sounds," said Ossoff.

And then came the haymaker, a takedown that's already spreading like wildfire on social media—

"If John Lewis were marching today from Selma to Montgomery, Mike Collins would be grabbing a billy club," said Ossoff. "His office has been in cahoots with some of the most notorious white supremacists in the country. He himself has amplified neo-Nazi propaganda. He's never apologized for it, and he should tonight."

Not surprisingly, Mike Collins did not apologize on stage. He's a MAGA Republican, which means, just like his cult leader Donald Trump, he's pathologically incapable of admitting when he was wrong or when he did something immoral.

And that wasn't Ossoff's only standout moment of the night. The senator is one of the best orators that the Democratic Party has seen in decades, which is why there are already calls for him to run for President one day.

"First of all, no Georgia family or small business should pay a dime more to subsidize the energy consumption of these data centers," Ossoff said. "No local community should have these data centers imposed on them. But that same budget bill we've been discussing all night, the one that slashed Medicaid, the one that doubled your health insurance premiums, it also gave $70 billion of your money to data center developers."

"Just think about this, when you are paying more for your health insurance, when a hospital in your community is closing down, Mike Collins voted to take that money out of your pocket and out of your community and give it instead to data center developers," he continued.

"And that's the problem, Mike. It's not just that you've hired half the Third Reich to staff your congressional office and you have promoted neo-Nazi content online," said Ossoff. "It's that you're robbing your constituents to subsidize your donors."

Collins has come under repeated fire for the neo-Nazis in his orbit. His former congressional intern posted swastikas and KKK imagery, his former chief of staff communicated with prominent white nationalists, his son-in-law shared pro-Nazi and antisemitic content, and two campaign organizers previously held leadership positions in a group founded by an ex-KKK leader.

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...

Please ❤️ and share if you'd vote for Jon Ossoff!

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Ossoff: "I think Pete Hegseth is frankly a deeply unwell person who seems to relish this kind of brutality all the while he's running a department that is falling into chaos. The guy cannot run the military competently and is spending his time with this kind of obscene medieval spectacle."

[The Lincoln Project @ProjectLincoln]

It’s not just Donald Trump. It’s the Republican Party.

Tired of this shit? Show them this November.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Collins: The tariffs are making things fair.

Ossoff: You just heard Mike Collins say the tariffs are working. Go buy groceries. No one believes that. It’s been a disaster.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY F*CK it’s official: Lawyers say THREE FBI interviews with the woman who accused Trump of raping her when she was between 13 and 15 years-old ARE MISSING FROM THE FILES.

This is the biggest cover up in history. This MUST lead to prison or our laws mean nothing.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

🚨HOLY SHIT: Multiple people serving as “convoy captains” for Trump-endorsed Rep. Mike Collins’ Senate campaign have ties to the United Klans of America, founded by former KKK leader Robert Shelton.

Collins is racist lunatic. Jon Ossoff needs to win with double digits.

[Republicans against Trump @RpsAgainstTrump]

GOP Sen. Thom Tillis calls his vote to confirm Pete Hegseth as defense secretary the “biggest regret of my career,” saying the former Fox & Friends co-host “is not the right man for the job.”

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

We can deliver universal childcare.

But Republicans in Congress would rather support Trump’s Iran war and give another tax break to billionaires than guarantee child care for every American family.

This is a fight worth fighting.
