"All lives have to matter! Isn't that what the [MAGA] crowd said? We need to care when people are being murdered in the street—and not just when white people are murdered,"- U.S. veteran/influencer Jolly Good Ginger tells us at the site ICE killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero.
⚠️ Trump’s DOJ wants to force a purge of nearly 1 million voters in California.
The push is happening against the backdrop of Trump’s crusade to seize statewide voter rolls — an effort that currently has a winless 0-15 record.
Here’s what will happen next: https://t.co/GmkD1yKvaY

🚨BREAKING: Gov Shapiro signs bipartisan 2026 - 2027 Budget into law — delivering more historic investments in education, more funding for workforce development, more state troopers, more student teacher stipends, more support for child care workers, and much, much more.
Quite a statement from Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press about Trump's crackdown on reporters:
"Trump’s war on the press is looking for another victim, this time the storied federal prosecutors office in Manhattan. The subpoenas it issued to journalists at The New York Times break from longstanding Justice Department practice to protect the public interest and press independence by requiring prosecutors to only seek information from reporters as a last resort when all other avenues have been exhausted. When Jay Clayton appears before the Senate Intelligence Committee on Wednesday, members of both parties must not let him escape accountability.”
BREAKING: The IRGC says it attacked a commercial vessel and has declared the Strait of Hormuz CLOSED until further notice.
This comes after U.S. officials told reporters they expected Iran to publicly announce the strait would remain open and guarantee safe passage for commercial shipping today, comments that were uncritically reported as fact by much of the press. Instead, the opposite happened.
The GOP faces a huge problem in the midterms from the most reliable voters: Seniors.

🚨NEWS: The Trump DOJ has subpoenaed New York Times reporters Julian E. Barnes, Eric Lipton, Tyler Pager, and Eric Schmitt after they reported on security concerns involving Trump’s new Qatari-donated Air Force One.
According to the Times, some subpoenas were delivered by federal agents at the journalists’ homes. The newspaper called it a “brazen act” and warned it is an attempt to intimidate reporters and undermine press freedom.
In a viral video, ICE agents restrain a middle-aged man and a teenager while a woman screams, “Get out of my house!”
Here's what the woman says happened before she started filming.

ICE killed a man without wearing body cameras all because someone in his van “resembled the target” though it wasn’t them.
Now we’ve learned that the agents lied about what happened, mocked the man they shot as he was dying, and stripped his ID from him when they brought him to the hospital.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom is introducing new legislation to make seizing ballots before they’re counted a felony.
And he’s being clear about who the law is targeting. https://t.co/oDwaETaPAk
SHOCK NYT REPORT: DHS now admits the man ICE killed in Houston wasn't even their target. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, a 35-year U.S. resident, was just driving to work when agents — with no body cameras — shot him dead searching for two other men who weren't even in the van.

⚠️ The Trump administration is forcing states to adopt parts of its anti-voting agenda by threatening to withhold funding for emergency planning and public safety.
