Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

California is deploying the California National Guard to quickly assist families whose federal food benefits are halted because of Donald Trump's government shutdown.

We won't let the GOP's cruel inaction force millions of Californians to go hungry.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Jeffries: "It's perplexing to us that Rs refuse to spend a dime to protect the healthcare of the American people, but somehow the Trump admin found $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina in ways that are also going to continue to hurt our soybean farmers in Iowa & the Midwest"

We are in the second week of the Republican shutdown.

Where are House Republicans? On vacation.

Went looking around the Capitol to see if any Republicans had the common sense to come back. Featuring @mcbride.house.gov.

So let me get this straight. Musk fired govt workers in the name of efficiency. These workers are still getting paid a full severance but they’ve realized they can’t function w/ so few ppl so they’re reinstating them after a 7mo paid vacation. So muck for efficiency apnews.com/live/donald-...

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

This is good: With Trump/RFK destroying CDC, JB Pritzker's officials are exploring the possibility of buying Covid vaccines from manufacturers and distributing them in-state themselves, source tells me.

Dem govs must step up and fill the void.

Trump’s Decapitation of CDC Takes Darker Turn—and Hands Dems a Weapon
Illinois’s J.B. Pritzker is leading a charge other Democratic governors should take up: In our America, we’ll make sure public health systems remain strong.

I was the first AG to challenge President Trump’s efforts to trample our Constitution in court — and the first AG to defeat him. My team and I won in court 55 times.

AG Bondi, if you choose to challenge me and my state, be advised that we will defeat you and seek all appropriate costs and fees.
Attorney General Bondi and President Trump: You are hereby notified that Washington state will not be bullied or intimidated by threats and legally baseless accusations.

We will protect law-abiding immigrants in Washington.

Donald Trump, if you will not stand down, California will be forced to lead an effort to redraw our maps to offset the rigging of maps in red states.

If the other states call off their redistricting efforts, we will do the same. And American democracy will be better for it.

Hegseth deployed troops to Southern California without funding for food, water, fuel, or equipment. Marines are trained for military combat – not law enforcement.

Trump must rescind his orders, Hegseth must resign, & law enforcement should be handled by state/local authorities.

Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

It’s official. Trump has allocated $0 to the Federal Migrant Education Program for 2026. I knew it was coming. But this is a devastating cut for the children of farmworkers, many of whom are US citizens

Here is the video for the world to see.

DHS officers came to my Congressional office to intimidate my staff and office. There were no protesters. There was no riot. This is an extraordinary Executive Branch overreach into Congress, a co-equal branch of government and this is totally unacceptable.
