NEW: I was one of 3 reporters granted access to the convening of 600+ clergy in Minneapolis this week.

this has flown under the radar, but we are doing third-country detention in a country with a worse human rights record than North Korea

Currently, if fed officials like ICE agents violate your constitutional rights, you can't sue for damages. A statute called the Universal Constitutional Remedies Act would fix that and we're seeing more states catching on. We were just in CA to support the state's own UCR bill: protdem.org/3ZeTwBi

Journalists and media: stop bothsidesing attacks on childhood vaccines. We look to you to report what is happening and what the effects will be, not repeat the administration’s rhetoric. The effects will be more sickness and more death. That is not something to bothsides. Hold power accountable.

Newsom might get more attention. And probably annoys Trump more. But Pritzker shows leadership, dedication to his constituents and seriousness.
As a California resident, I prefer the Pritzker approach. He’s the guy I trust to protect US citizens and whom I want next to me in our current foxhole.
