At the Ninth Circuit in Seattle this morning for a hearing seeking to restore my client's lawful resident status. I am hopeful that justice will be served so my client and his family may no longer live in fear of deportation.

We need 24 Senators to replace @schumer.senate.gov as Senate Minority Leader.
To get there, we need 10 Senate Dems to request a special meeting with the conference chair w/ an agenda to remove Schumer and who would replace him. Schumer would b required to hold the meeting within 3. Then they vote.

The caucus meeting was just to orchestrate who would fall on the sword but not be up for a vote in 2026.
so currently defectors are:
Kaine (2030)
Shaheen (Retiring)
Hasan (2028)
Fetterman (2028)
Durbin (Retiring)
CCM (2028)
Rosen (2030)

Retire. You have failed your constituents and your country. You are an embarrassment. When people look up "failed politician" in the dictionary it reads: "see, e.g., Schumer, Charles."
Democrats have been fighting for months to address America's healthcare crisis

How to record ICE:
1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

The White House is taking new steps to undermine every international student at our universities.
It has approved a new rule restricting student visas to 4 years max. That's not long enough for PhD students, or about half of undergrads, to finish their degree.

Bove is genuinely still on the hook for possible criminal contempt charges. Which, if the DC Circuit ever gets off its ass and does something about its "administrative" stay (since APRIL), may require him to testify under oath, despite being a judge. Unprecedented situation.
Multiple credible claims that Bove urged DOJ employees to break the law and ignore the judiciary. And the GOP Senate decided this is not disqualifying because nothing is disqualifying.
By a vote of 50-49, the #Senate confirmed Emil J. Bove III to be a United States Circuit Judge for the Third Circuit
Republican Senators Collins and Murkowski voted against.
Senator Hagerty did not vote.
No further votes this evening.

Later, Elmer gets pulled over after leaving a bar. The cop said he was weaving but Elmer said he had to weave. The baw was cwosing

As i have been saying for years now, the most practically effective, strategically feasible, and 100% non-violent way to abolish ICE is to make working there--in any capacity, at any level--one of the most socially unpopular things an American can do.

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.
I will never, ever vote for Gavin Newsom. Ever, under any circumstances. I don't care if he becomes the Dem nominee, he's still not getting my vote.
On a recent podcast Gavin Newsom tells Shawn Ryan how the Trans sports issue opened the door for him to change his mind on GAC for Trans Youth.
As someone who adored him since 2004 and voted for him 5 times, I can't wait for him to leave office.
There is no way I will be voting for him a 6th time.

Not to put too fine a point on it, but the conservative majority wouldn’t let Biden halt a single border program, in a case where plaintiffs did not have standing and the actions were clearly lawful (as they later affirmed!), but did let Trump kill an entire Department via clearly unlawful actions.
Since April 4, #SCOTUS has issued 15 rulings on 17 emergency applications filed by Trump (three birthright citizenship apps were consolidated).
It has granted relief to Trump ... in all 15 rulings.
It has written majority opinions in only 3.
Today's order is the 7th with no explanation *at all.*
