NEW: Colorado's election clerks are increasingly upset that Gov Jared Polis (D) hasn't ruled out releasing Tina Peters to the Trump administration.
On a call today, a bipartisan group of elected clerks said Polis hasn't agreed to meet with them about their concerns.

It's always hard to pick a worst day politically, but today the president called for the death of members of the opposition party, and the administration decided that people were being too hard on the swastika

Jury finds D.C. ‘sandwich guy’ not guilty of assaulting officer
Sean C. Dunn admitted he flung the hoagie at a federal agent. His attorneys called it a “harmless gesture” of protest as Trump commandeered D.C. police.

Growing up, weekend dinners with the few South Asian families that lived nearby were where I first saw the American Dream. Now, walking into a similar gathering, I feel that same spirit - where tradition meets purpose. I’m proud to stand with a Colorado community rooted in hope and possibility.

Every Democratic member of Congress should be in the streets of DC saying this dangerous authoritarian escalation must stop. Do they not grasp what’s going on here?

I want to be very clear about what’s happening: Senate Republicans know the parliamentarian will say they can’t use 312 to pretend tax cuts are free (because two have two Byrd rule problems).
So they are refusing to meet with her so they can pretend they never ignored her when they do it anyway.

It’s 6:04 p.m. in D.C., and we have parading. Crowd has filled in a bit at the route front, but mainly one deep along Constitution Avenue.

Truly, cannot imagine anyone other than the Trump administration DOJ giving someone 58 minutes — around midnight! — to respond and actually telling the court they “attempted to contact” opposing counsel.
