NEW VIDEO: As the DOJ is collecting sensitive voter data around the country and the GOP ups the stakes with their gerrymandering efforts in Texas, I am concerned what is going on is being overlooked.

I lay out my concern and what we need to do now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2E3...

"This is a nail in the coffin." Fmr. FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissman describes what Emil Bove's confirmation to the Third Circuit says about the United States' system of checks and balances. "The amount of proof as to why he is unfit is sort of overwhelming."

It is time that Democrats not only match what Republicans are doing with gerrymandering, but exceed it. Every Democratic controlled state needs to be looking to redrawing their maps -- not to gain 5 seats like in TX, but cumulatively 15, 20 or 30 seats. We must use every tool available.

Think about what the GOP is revealing with their attempt to suddenly change the Congressional maps: they know their agenda is so unpopular that they're going to lose unless something changes.

Of course, what they should be changing is their policies, not the maps.

While the Department of Justice is meeting in secret with Ghislaine Maxwell to coach her on testimony, it is hiding from us three discs containing court-authorized recordings of her phone calls. [Source: ABC News] That is the REAL evidence. And this is a cover-up.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.

This is truly insane. We are witnessing one of the most corrupt cover-up schemes in history—and it's all playing out in plain view.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

Now would be a good time for every elected Democrat to declare X an unsuitable platform for public office holders and shut down their account.

ICE is going to get someone killed.

This was outside 100 Montgomery in SF’s Financial District.

If you needed proof these rookie hires aren’t trained, here it is. Real feds de-escalate. They call for backup. They don’t drag people down the street w/a car.

Hope everyone’s OK.

The fact we have secret police whisking people off the streets doesn’t get enough attention. It ain’t normal and we’re further down the road to authoritarianism than you think.

I am not feeling the 4th of July this year. It is hard to celebrate America while SCOTUS is honoring a convicted rapist as their king, letting him kidnap people, and build concentration camps. — Does anyone else feel this way?

I am grieving the barbarism that is going to unfurl from all this. People are going to die. Livelihoods gone. All to feed a corrupt kleptocracy.

I see every day up close how different it is from the first time around. There are no guardrails. A disaster. I’m sorry we have to live through this.

It was only 5 months ago that Trump said he would only go after the worst of the worst. Now they are disappearing people including U.S. citizens. Next they want to create a national database of citizens. Will states send back individual voting data?

If anyone thinks they are safe, they are wrong.
