BREAKING: In an incredible moment, CNN just aired an interview with Jon Ossoff where he goes scorched Earth on Donald Trump's failures and corruption. We need more of this.

Murray: The Supreme Court has never been more unpopular. The public has kind of had it with this Court. And that’s kind of the Court’s fault. The Chief Justice is going on like, “People are just mad about our decisions, but our decisions aren’t political.” But they look political, right? The fact that you got to overturn Roe v. Wade only after you got a 6-3 conservative supermajority. The fact that you rolled back affirmative action only after you got a 6-3 conservative supermajority. The fact that you are literally looking at Section 1 of the 14th Amendment, which is very straightforward, and asking, “Hmm, I wonder if the children of undocumented persons who were born in the United States are citizens.” Like, the people get it. They’re not dumb. We are not stupid. We know what this looks like. And they’re mad. They’re really, really mad. Anything we do at the legislative level ultimately goes back to this Court. So none of it matters if you’re not also talking about court reform.

A chilling incident in Syracuse, New York is slowly gaining national attention, and it should terrify all of us. Yesterday, @syracusedotcom reported that two ICE agents showed up at a polling place to harass an election worker. Her supposed “crime”? Back in January, PaigeLynne Gonyea shared an Instagram post citing a Minnesota Star Tribune article that identified Jonathan Ross as the ICE agent who shot and killed Renee Good. Gonyea didn’t leak any private information; by the time she posted it, Ross’s name was already public knowledge and circulating widely across national media. Gonyea told the outlet that the agents tried to lure her outside the building to “talk.” Fearing what would happen to her in the shadows, she instead invited them inside. “I’ve seen the news, especially in Minnesota, and I didn’t want anything to happen to me at all,” she admitted. Sit with that for a moment. Democracy has eroded so severely that Americans are a) fearful being alone with immigration officials and b) are being harassed by the government for sharing something that was in the newspaper. The agents provided Gonyea with a form letter, which she later shared. Per the outlet, it read in part: “This notice officially informs you that it is unlawful to threaten to assault, kidnap, and/or murder a federal official or that federal official’s immediate family member with the intent to impede, intimidate, and/or interfere with the federal official’s duties...” Gonyea has maintained her position, refusing to delete the post. “For ICE to come to me over a social media post just feels very 1984 to me,” she remarked. “[ICE] definitely should have known better to not go into a polling place, even if I said it was OK.” The incident has sparked a broader debate about the potential for federal agencies to be used in ways that might intimidate or obstruct the voting process. Trump surrogates like Steve Bannon have repeatedly floated the idea of using ICE to intimidate voters to avoid jail. Moreover, Bannon and other cronies know that a loss in the midterm elections will lead to prosecutions for many of them, himself included. “And I will tell you right now, as God is my witness, if we lose the midterms, if we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison — myself included,” Bannon confessed in November. All of this is lunacy — these people are not terrified of losing an election; they are fully aware that in a functional democracy, they'd be behind bars. Bannon's remarks were far from the first time a Trump crony has confessed to knowing they ought to be jailed. Elon Musk famously told Tucker Carlson on the eve of the 2024 election that he NEEDED Trump to win to avoid prison. This is a dangerous level of desperation, and yesterday, Trump tanked his own party's bipartisan housing relief legislation during a press conference, holding it hostage and demanding the GOP ram through a voter suppression bill. We are almost at the finish line and November is coming fast. It is critically important to stay on top of these issues, and crucially, we cannot allow this coterie of whiny bullies to fully destroy our democracy. Are you going to let them scare you out of exercising your rights, or are you going to vote? [Images: REUTERS/Eduardo Munoz, PaigeLynne Gonyea/Instagram]

Capitalism is socialism for the rich. Billionaires and Trillionaires don’t create wealth they extract it.

Ossoff: Let's be very clear about what the president is saying to the American people. The president is saying that he will not sign a bill whose purpose is to make housing affordable unless his allies in congress pass a voter suppression bill to rig the election. He is saying, I won't even sign a bill that will give economic relief to Americans unless the rules of this election are changed so that he, Donald Trump, cannot be held accountable for all of his misdeeds because that's what he really fears most of all is that when there is a change in the balance of power, and when we restore checks and balances, he knows that there will be subpoenas flying that officials from his administration will be testifying under oath about the full range of misconduct and corruption that we already know has been happening since the moment he was sworn in.

Trump just killed a bipartisan affordable housing bill that passed the Senate 85–5 /the House 358–32 while people are drowning in rent, mortgages, inflation, & high gas and energy bills. But sure, tell us all how this billionaire “populist” dickhead is fighting for working people. MAGA got conned.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Donald Trump's new Chair of the Federal Reserve just admitted that it was Trump's Iran policy that caused energy prices to skyrocket. Woah.

The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade. Because apparently that's how we do things now. 715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX. Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States. SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap. FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done. Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want. 25,000+ people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway. A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to. Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it? #DemsUnited
