BREAKING: Ken Paxton’s own lawyer just endorsed James Talarico:
“I defended Ken Paxton for years in the impeachment trial and in state criminal cases. But in my view, I think Ken has lost sight of his core mission, which is to represent the people of Texas.
And unlike Ken, I believe that you, James, believe in unity over division and that you know how to assemble not only Democrats but Independents and Republicans and we need that right now.
We need unity, we don't need any more division and that's why I'm supporting you.”
Yesterday, I was notified of the 50th death in ICE custody since Trump returned to office.
This is unprecedented and further proof that ICE and their private, for-profit prison contractors should not be sent another cent of taxpayer dollars. There must be accountability.
Unfortunately, this is the way the world looks at us now because of Trump. Not because of George Bush. Not because of Ronald Reagan.
Nope, because of the last person elected in the United States.
Quiet parts being said out loud. They want to cut Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. They keep calling SS an entitlement like we aren't paying into it. We are in debt because the orange pedo has put us there. #DemsUnited
Pregnant girls as young as 13 are being held in a remote Texas immigration facility while a member of Congress (Rep. Maxine Dexter) says she was blocked from speaking to them. Some of these pregnancies are the result of rape.
This is one of the most horrifying immigration stories right now in the USA.
How many pregnant children are there? Where are these girls coming from? Where are they being sent? Are they getting real prenatal care? Do they have access to proper legal representation? Are newborn babies being ripped out of their mother's arms? Why are members of Congress being blocked from speaking with them?
No agency should be able to hide where vulnerable kids are being sent. We need to free these children and give them healthcare, lawyers, family reunification, and safety.
Trump stormed out of an interview with NBC's Kristin Welker this weekend when pressed for evidence of his repeated claims of fraudulent voting.
He has no proof because mass voter fraud doesn't exist. It's a pretext for him to try to rig the midterms.
President Trump just told NBC's "Meet the Press" that he didn't guarantee no new wars during the 2024 campaign.
MS NOW's @RiegerReport shows it was actually something that Trump repeatedly guaranteed.
While trump is focused on enriching himself, building billion dollar ballrooms for himself, and spoiling sporting events for New Yorkers, Leader Jeffries and Democrats are focused on making life affordable for Americans.
I know how I'M voting in November:
All Democrats, to save America!
At least 97 insurrectionists pardoned by Trump have been arrested, charged or convicted of unrelated crimes since January 6th, @Lawfare found.
That's staggering. The public safety threat posed by Trump's pardons could not be clearer. https://t.co/GPoOMXYi6j
This morning when I was conducting oversight at 290 Broadway I saw two disturbing developments and ended my visit in a heated exchange with ICE.
It’s time to get Trump’s ICE thugs out of NYC and to #abolishICE.
NEWSNATION: Trump has never had any evidence of rigged elections. Do you side with him when he speaks about it?
RON JOHNSON: There is so much evidence of irregularities in the 2020 election, but all you do is say 'there's no evidence' -- there are all kinds of irregularities
NN: There's never been anything proven at scale
JOHNSON: People who do things cover it up
NN: But why not present the evidence?
Katie Phang on Jeffrey Epstein's former assistant Lesley Groff: This woman's name appears more than 167k times in the existing rollout of the Epstein files.
She worked for Epstein from February of 2001 until July of 2019. I want you to think about the fact that that is 18-19 years of employment as Jeffrey Epstein's closest executive assistant.
Yet, she insists she had no idea what Jeffrey Epstein was doing.
It defies logic and reality.
🚨HOLY SHIT: Crowds BOOO Trump as he arrives at Madison Square Garden in NYC to see Game 3.
Protesters are holding a huge sign that says "GO KNICKS, F**K TRUMP.”
He’s the most hated president in history!
Charlie Angus on US Ambassador to Canada Pete Hoekstra: Canadians are really done with this guy.
We have the ambassador of a foreign nation openly saying that it would be a great discussion whether or not we give up our sovereignty.
If the Chinese did this, if the Russians did this, if any other nation did this, there would be complete outrage.
It has been 100 days since Donald Trump plunged us into this war with Iran.
The cost has been high and it is rising. 13 servicemembers. Dozens of civilians, including children. And skyrocketing prices at home and around the globe.
100 days too many.
Trump's Justice Department has seemingly refused all election integrity measures for the upcoming midterms.
The admin has canceled election integrity training, deleted a prosecution guide for election infractions, and does not appear to be appointing an Election Crimes branch director.
