Sen. Ossoff: Tonight, Donald Trump, the world's most famous sore loser, will deliver a prime time presidential sour grapes address to pursue his 6-year-old grievances about the 2020 election.

"This this type of settlement is done regularly,” Todd Blanche said of Trump's tax break. Several other victims of the same tax leaker that disclosed Trump's info also sued. The DOJ fought all their cases. Only Trump got a sweetheart settlement. huffpost.com/entry/latest-n…

ICE has shot and killed 10 people since Trump came back into office. 2 more in the last week. In addition, 50 people have died in ICE detention. ICE has become a killing machine. We cannot let this feel normal. It isn't.

The victim that was shot and killed by ICE in Maine has been identified as Joan Sebastian Guerrero. Guerrero had a 3-year-old daughter, was authorized to work in the US, was given a Social Security number, and was not the target of ICE's immigration action.

Last night on #PoliticsNation, I reflected on the decision to abandon the long-awaited effort to place Harriet Tubman on the $20 bill. Harriet Tubman risked her life to lead others to freedom, served this nation during the Civil War, and spent years fighting simply to receive the pension she had earned. Recognizing her on our nation’s currency was never just about changing a design. It was about acknowledging a history that helped shape America. The way we choose to remember our history says a great deal about the values we choose to uphold. We cannot allow the contributions and sacrifices of those who expanded the promise of freedom to be minimized, erased, or forgotten. #MSNOW

There’s something missing about these new recruits just sworn in to the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division. I can’t quite put my finger on it. Can you help me out?

Todd Blanche isn't defending civil rights. He's dismantling them by raiding and intimidating voter registration groups, targeting “political enemies,” and going after anyone who protects the vote or holds power accountable. The Senate must reject his confirmation.


ICE’s deportation campaign isn’t about public safety. It’s a reign of terror that’s become unrecognizable even to former ICE spokesperson Gail Montenegro. It’s time to hold ICE accountable for their reckless violence.

We have faith in our country—and in our coalition, earned through 250 years of fighting for progress. We will not let a whitewashing of history be the last word on what America is capable of becoming.


#OnThisDay in 1964, the Civil Rights Act became law. A year later, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission opened its doors. Now, the Trump administration is trying to tear down both. It’s up to us to keep fighting for the full promise of equality.

Voting isn't just a right. It's an act of resistance. When they try to steal our voices, we speak louder. When they build walls, we break them down. When they suppress, we SHOW UP. #GoodTrouble Weekend of Action starts July 17. Be there. bit.ly/4oOFgeO

Days before the 27th anniversary of the SCOTUS Olmstead decision, which affirmed the basic rights of disabled people in America, the DOJ moved to erase those hard-won rights. We will fight to protect the progress that allows disabled people to thrive. to.pbs.org/4vCe5Gq
