Good morning! We've got two tasks we are requesting of y'all today:

1) If you're in an area with an election, GO VOTE!
2) If the Louvre has taught us anything, now might be a good time to change your passwords from "Password" to something more secure...

If MAGA can’t win, they’ll try to cheat. In New Jersey, Democratic strongholds are being targeted with bomb threats at polling places across Bergen, Essex, Mercer, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Passaic counties, forcing brief closures. Do not let this stop you from voting.
Bomb threats close some N.J. polling locations
Polling places in seven counties are affected, though officials say the threats are not credible.

It is BATSHIT CRAZY that I had to introduce an amendment to prohibit ICE from detaining and deporting U.S. citizens.

It’s even more insane that Republicans VOTED AGAINST MY AMENDMENT. They’re betraying their own constituents.

We'll keep pushing for freedom and justice for Rümeysa and other scholars like her who've been targeted for exercising their First Amendment rights.

The funding for some of Trump’s “data” on an alleged ActBlue “fraud” seems to have come from just such a source: an opaque super-PAC bankrolled by none other than Elon Musk.
Trump's attack on ActBlue's 'dark money' was backed by dark money
Elon Musk helped fund an effort to gin up fraud claims against the donation platform.

The GOP budget bill could gut the FTC by moving its antitrust authority to the DOJ, limiting the government's ability to bring unfair competition cases. 

It would also let Pam Bondi, an ex-Amazon lobbyist, call the shots on antitrust. 

Big Business must be thrilled.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.

Seriously. Read this. radleybalko.substack.com/p/the-courag...

So the Republican Party has historically blocked:

-Paid sick leave
-Paid family & medical leave
-Universal childcare
-Universal pre-K
-Expanded Child Tax Credit
-Programs to support reproductive health

And they're wondering why more people aren't having children?

What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

The IRS giving ICE access to migrant workers’ tax data isn’t 'efficiency.'

It’s state-sanctioned violence against people who keep the economy running.
