I'm working on a guide for community opposition. There's going to be so many ways to make this impossible to materialize if people are willing to put in the work. Local community efforts dealing with zoning, building codes, etc will be vital. We must stop this

JUST IN: Democrats flip a red seat in the Texas Senate.

Taylor Rehmet wins against Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist who helped lead right-wing efforts to take over TX school boards.

With all early vote, and 95% of precincts, in, Dem up 57/43.

Trump won this seat by 17% in Tarrant County.

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.

But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

After just a few short weeks, our effort to impeach Kristi Noem is already close to success. You did that.

Now let’s keep up the pressure. Tell loser Mike Johnson and the rest of the cowards in Congress we’re not stopping until they finish the job:

Just watched the 60 Minutes segment. Basically it debunks the fundamental claim used by Trump admin that the detainees it sent there are “terrorists” and corroborates torture using clips from El Salvadorean influencers Bukele uses internally. Would be a shock to low information voters, probably

Earlier this year the people at 60 Minutes urged me to overcome fear and speak on camera about what it's like being a lawyer being targeted by Trump. When I did, they lavished me with praise -- noting I was the only person willing to do it.

Now it is their turn to show courage.

What a shameful question.

First, it is not what Congress "asked for." It is what a federal statute REQUIRES.

Second, WTF does "spirit but not intent" even mean?

CBS bent a knee and paid Trump, it has a new owner who wants to please Trump, and sadly this is the result.
BRENNAN: This isn't everything you asked for just yet, but would you acknowledge that they are complying with the spirit if not the intent of your law?

MASSIE: No. They're flouting the spirit and the letter of the law. It's very troubling the posture that they've taken.

FROM THE FILES: Epstein is photographed holding a large check bearing Trump’s signature with his arm around an unidentified female. The check appears to be the same one shown in Epstein’s bday book, where a longtime Mar-a-Lago member joked about Epstein selling a “fully depreciated” woman to Trump.

NEW: Trump’s DOJ will not comply with today’s release deadline for the Epstein files.

Per Trump’s deputy AG, the full release will instead take place “over the next couple weeks.”

All files were required by law to be released today.

As your electricity bill goes up, remember—it doesn’t have to be this way.

Democrats invested in expanding clean energy to lower costs.

Trump killed those investments to protect costly fossil fuels, just as AI data centers drive demand even higher.
