This is an extraordinary thread. Please read every word.
THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.

This is why voting is important. Let’s stand together
Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

Very interesting. Pritzker is making sure Illinois is ready
And to be clear this has been going on for some time. There are many segments of the party doing serious, strategic work.
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

"I" gave the Governor of Maryland money? I'm pretty sure those were taxpayer dollars. Your money. My money. Not King Trump's money.

Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate?

I had no idea.

Just saw it on Tik Tok.

Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?

Nick Fuentes rips Trump for releasing the MLK assassination files instead of the Epstein to distract — he says a “Dem Avalanche” is what Republicans deserve for this: “‘Nobody should vote for Trump or Republicans.”

I keep thinking about how Gov Abbott had plenty of funds to fly and bus migrants all across the country but couldn't come up with a million for a flood warning system.

It would be great if @durbin.senate.gov @whitehouse.senate.gov & others on SJC ask Emil Bove whether--given Bove's own claim that Eric Adams couldn't be prosecuted bc it would amount to election interference--whether Trump just interfered in NYC Mayoral election & if so, whether he'll charge Trump.

Staff of the Tennessee Human Rights Commission (THRC) were informed last week that they will be laid off rather than reassigned ahead of the dissolution of the 60-year-old commission, despite being told that their jobs would transfer to a new department.

Wrote this on Friday about the dynamics that pushed the vote to this weekend. The core theory holds: the more cruel the bill gets to appease the maximum-cruelty Rs, the more public outcry can squeeze the this-could-cost-me-my-job Rs.

So, call. Protest. Make this the biggest story.

The extra-extreme members of the House Budget Committee voted "present" tonight so that the Medicaid-cuts-to-fund-tax-giveaways-for-the-rich bill could pass out of committee 17-16.

Tomorrow, flood Capitol Hill switchboards to voice your opposition to this monstrosity.
