I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

Bonta: We brought a lawsuit today on behalf of the governor and the State of California, challenging as unlawful the president’s federalization of the National Guard..
The authority he relies on does not permit him to unilaterally call in the National Guard.

The Trump Administration admitted in court it NEVER should have abducted Mr. Abrego Garcia and is defying a Supreme Court order to facilitate his return — and Bukele is complicit in this illegal scheme.
That's why @kaine.senate.gov and I are forcing a vote on our bill to hold them accountable.

We didn’t fight a revolution just to hand the keys to a wannabe king like Trump.
Not then. Not now. Not ever.

That asshole’s admin admitted that it mistakenly deported someone to El Salvador due to an administrative error, and won’t do shit to bring him back.
That kind of “admin error,” means literally anyone who isn’t white could be disappeared into a hell hole for no reason without any recourse.
ANYONE!

Ossoff: He’s so consumed by his efforts to secure revenge, crush his enemies, and conquer Greenland that he’s doing nothing for the people who elected him. His entire domestic agenda is tax breaks for the wealthy, rounding up immigrants, revenge, and centralizing as much power as he can..
