Last night’s lavish White House dinner showed us the global oligarchy coming together in plain sight.
By cozying up to MBS, Trump has signaled to the world that the United States is now on the side of authoritarianism, not democracy.

The credulousness of this headline shows we have so much further to go—this was a wildly anti-democratic scheme designed to shield Trump from his corruption, failures, and brutality—but the freeze has broken.
How redistricting backfired on the GOP
Trump and House Republicans thought they had a winning midterm strategy: redraw congressional maps to gain an edge. But that hasn’t worked as planned.

You might not have caught what just happened on the Senate floor, but the Senate just “deemed as passed” the Epstein resolution.
That means as soon as it arrives from the House, it automatically passes the Senate (with no amendments) and heads to the President’s desk.
Wow.

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held “Know Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.
