The New York Times reports Jonathan Braun—a violent felon with ties to Jared Kushner, whose sentence Trump commuted—has been sent back to prison after new charges, including assaulting a 3-year-old. In court, he ranted about his lawyer and flipped off spectators. His fifth arrest.

I genuinely don't care if you like Mamdani or not. But this is actually a massive sign of a breakdown of news as an institution for upholding democracy and instead of upholding auotocracy.

This is remarkable. New Quinnipiac poll finds support for path to legalization for most undocumented immigrants has risen to 64%. Only 31% want most of them deported.
That's a 14 point net swing for legalization since Trump took office.
On immigration generally, he's at 41-57!

10 years ago today, the Supreme Court made marriage for LGBTQ couples legal nationwide in a landmark win stemming from our lawsuit.
Extremist politicians have shifted their crusade to erasing trans people from public life — but we're not going anywhere. The fight may be long, but we will win.
