Hey everyone, you’ve been asking me to run for office for a while, so guess what?
I’m running for California State Assembly!
Now, I don’t like asking for money, but we gotta pay for this somehow, and if everyone throws in $7 we’ll have the resources to run one hell of a race, so, uh, do the thing.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.
Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.
Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
TODAY is the showdown.

Spare a thought for your green-card holding and naturalized colleagues, many of whom are now doing risk-benefit calculations before speaking on anything that could be considered remotely political

When asked if he could guarantee that the families of veterans in his district won’t be impacted, all Greg Murphy could do was shake his head and say, “No, I can’t guarantee anything.”

If you’re in the DC area tomorrow afternoon, we need you at the CFPB. Stay tuned - more details soon.
This is a full-throated attack on American consumers on behalf of monied corporate interests. It’s wildly illegal and directly in Elon Musk’s personal interests.
New acting CFPB director Russell Vought sends a directive to Bureau staff telling them to "cease all supervision and examination activity" and "cease all stakeholder engagement," per a source familiar

Apparently there’s a “kickoff” meeting between the DOGE people and Department of Labor management planned for tomorrow at 4pm ET.
Unrelatedly, the Frances Perkins Building that houses the Dept of Labor is located at 200 Constitution Ave. NW, Washington, DC 20210.
