From street marches to court battles to the ballot box - we’ve challenged the power of this exceptionally unpopular president.
The lesson from each success we've had is that we need to ramp the political pressure up, always up, not back down, now more than ever.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.
Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.
The American people need more from their leaders.

Incredible federal court hearing in Chicago this morning over ICE assaults on the press & protestors. The DOJ lawyers are tying themselves in knots as the video evidence clearly shows ICE intentionally assaulting everyone. Follow @jonseidel.bsky.social for on going updates:
The next witness before U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis is Emily Steelhammer, executive director of the Chicago Newspaper Guild.
Khojasteh challenges Curran on why he didn't say that in a declaration filed with the court.
But their back-and-forth prompts a warning from the judge about talking over people.

this morning, ICE went into a Spanish language immersion daycare and took a teacher from the building in front of screaming and crying kids and parents at dropoff and the daycare had to shut down for the day (near Lane Tech, where they were yesterday). Really hoping today's "theme" is not "daycare."

Just wrote an upbeat (!) Morning Shots.
I mean, if not today, when?
We should relish this moment. For a few hours. Because we should realize that these results are going to make the Trump administration even more aggressive about tilting the 2026 playing field, and we need to be ready for that.

9 in 10 low-income ACA enrollees—mostly in states Trump won—will pay the price if ACA tax credits expire.
And yet, Trump and House Republicans aren't even in DC to try and fix this crisis.
They are quite literally abandoning their voters.

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.
This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.
I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

Trump Org’s income in the first half of 2024 was $51 million.
In the first half of 2025 it rose to $864 million.
A massive percentage came from foreigners.
It should be the biggest scandal in the history of American politics.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.
