I will not cede ground. But I must condemn this site. Led by a sad, sick fascist/nazi/oligarch for nefarious purposes wields dangerous power with horrific consequences. When we take it all back for the good of the country (& the world), Twitter should be a free public utility.

Thought I’d check in on how things are going… Oh, boy. Back to Bluesky.

This should happen everywhere!

Today, the City of Pasadena, along with eight other public agencies, including the City of Los Angeles, the County of Los Angeles, the City of Culver City, the City of Montebello, the City of Monterey Park, the City of Pico Rivera, the City of Santa Monica, and the City of West Hollywood, filed a motion to intervene in the Vasquez Perdomo et al. v. Noem et al. lawsuit, which seeks to stop the federal government from engaging in aggressive and dangerous immigration enforcement practices in Pasadena and the Los Angeles area. In recent weeks, Pasadena has experienced an unprecedented increase in aggressive federal immigration enforcement activity, which has spread fear, confusion, and distress among Pasadena residents, including those who have lived in the City for decades and even among US citizens. The federal government’s unannounced actions have hindered local businesses, as customers and business owners—including U.S. citizens—choose to stay home out of fear of being arbitrarily detained or even arrested. Similarly, the Pasadena Police Department has been forced to divert limited local resources to determine whether individuals exiting unmarked vehicles are armed, masked, unidentified federal law enforcement agents or armed, masked, unidentified vigilantes. Pasadena joined with others today in litigation calling for the federal government to stop employing these aggressive and dangerous tactics which we believe are improper and unconstitutional. Pasadena remains fully committed to the dignity, well-being, and safety of all its residents. View the full news release at Bit.ly/CityofPasadena….

@BettyBuckley I’m so sorry for your loss. She sounds like an amazing person. May her memory be a blessing.

My Mom Betty Bob Buckley has passed away. 💔

The world is beautiful.

The best way to have stopped these draconian cuts and billionaire tax cuts would have been to elect Kamala Harris. Now, the best thing we can do is make sure Hakeem Jeffries becomes the next Speaker of the House. Let’s do it.

Congressional Republicans just sold out the American people to the billionaires among us. Our job is to get in good trouble to make sure every American can have a good life, good health care, good education, good food and a home of their own.

Democrats can’t get a crosswalk installed when they have all three branches, but it took Republicans 6 months to gut the entire US government like it was a Red Lobster.

Yes, that’s me. Yes, same outfit. Yes, we’ve been up all night fighting to protect your health care. We’re here to tell your stories—so share them with us: 👉 democraticleader.house.gov/shareyourstory

MAGA’s job-killing, debt-explosion bill is on the House floor. We’re fighting to stop the GOP from throwing 17 million Americans off their health coverage and SNAP, staples of our democracy and lifelines for our people.

Every single House Democrat will stand up for the American people. We just need four Republicans to join us.

Jeffries is a goddamn American Hero. Hope EVERY ONE of our reps takes note.

Raskin: "I found the preamble to this big ugly bill. 'We the billionaires and our king, in order to deform and sicken our union, establish injustice, ensure domestic servility, weaken our people's defenses, undermine the general welfare, and have staggering debt servitude for eternity, do hereby instruct the Republicans in Congress to strip 17m people of their healthcare ... '"

Hakeem Jeffries has now been speaking since 4:53am—for four straight hours, stalling the big evil bill. Making it so Republicans can’t pass this in the middle of the night. KEEP GOING!

Hakeem Jeffries: “I feel the obligation Mr. Speaker to stand on this House floor and take my sweet time.” He’s actively delaying final vote on the budget bill, giving Americans more time to call their representatives.

@SpeakerJohnson @HouseGOP

President Trump KEPT HIS PROMISE to secure the border. Now Congress MUST do its part. The only way we keep the border secure and the American people safe is by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill. @HouseGOP, time to get it done.
