Dog-lover, avid reader, 65 years old soon - will there still be Medicare? I work with young people in the middle of the United States. I am a born and bread Democrat and I'm in grief for the ruination of my country by Trusk.

Protests work. Congratulations, protesters, you're setting a good example for the rest of us. Everyone who's in a place where this assault on our freedom & rule of law is taking place should take heart from this. Keep it up, Americans.

NEWS --> Anna Gomez, the lone Dem on the FCC, tells me the Trump admin's pressure to oust Jimmy Kimmel may be unlawful as well as unconstitutional. FCC chair Brendan Carr may be committing censorship in violation of federal law.

That and much more in my new piece:

Trump’s Ouster of Jimmy Kimmel Is Much Worse than You Think It Is
Anna Gomez, the FCC’s lone Democratic commissioner, tells TNR that her boss’ move violates both the First Amendment and the Communications Act. Democrats must extract consequences.

Measles cases hit record highs with RFK Jr. in charge.

Now, his hand-picked vaccine panel just voted to make it harder for little babies to get vaccinated for measles and other diseases.

How does that keep our kids safe?

There will ultimately be elections, and there will be another Democrat elected president

Consider what the reaction will be if that person sues the Wall Street Journal or New York Post for $15 billion, and her FCC Chairman forces Fox to fire Hannity or Jesse Watters to avoid being shut down
Sen. Chris Murphy: "Trump's FCC forced a major network to pull a loud Trump critic, Jimmy Kimmel, off the air — essentially saying that any media actor that doesn't say what Trump wants them to say...is going to be silenced. That's censorship. That's not America."

CD1 gerrymander is still an active case in the S.C. Supreme Court while Norman wants an even more lopsided gerrymander. Yes, it is is technically possible to map so that 40% of S.C. voters have no congressional representation. But they shouldn’t. www.postandcourier.com/politics/sc-...
Congressman wants to eliminate SC’s only Democratic district. Republicans say they have a plan.
Ralph Norman said he hopes to provide several map options to present to voters in the 6th district, which was gerrymandered in the early 1990s to give Black voters a shot at fair representation.

You do not in fact have to praise the guy who said homeless people should be murdered with lethal injections and then apologized four days later to save his job. Let's get a grip here.
Brian Kilmeade deserves praise for his apology.
Brian Kilmeade apologized for his comments about homeless people getting lethal injections this morning on Fox & Friends, saying "so many homeless people deserve our empathy and compassion."

We couldn't be more excited to hear about Mr. Abrego García's release.

We will continue to fight for justice, our constitutional rights, and the rule of law at every turn.

We thank all who stand with us during these challenging times and trust justice will prevail, as it did today.

#OnYourSide
Kilmar Abrego Garcia has been released from detention and is on his way to his family in Maryland.

This is a huge win for justice and the rule of law and a reminder to the Trump administration that his lawlessness will not go unchecked.

What a joyful day for the Hispanic community!
