The White House has gotten this image of Karoline Leavitt censured from Getty because it was “unflattering “. Please don’t you dare share it.

Trump on sending federal agents into cities over the objections of local leaders: "We're gonna have to force ourselves upon them, which we have the right to do.” Not beating the allegations.

Burt Jones tried to get the US Supreme Court to throw out the presidential votes of 5 million of his fellow Georgians -- just cancel them altogether -- because he didn't like what they decided. To see him preach about election integrity is a damn bad joke.

This is bullshit. And it’s illegal. We'll see President Trump in court.

NEW: The California sheriff who seized 650k ballots cast in last year’s redistricting referendum is being accused of using incorrectly cited quotes in his legal defense. Pro-voting plaintiffs challenging the seizure argued it's part of a "concerning pattern" in the brief. democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ca…

Pay attention to this! Read and share widely

@ASDylanJohnson Translation: The US State Department couldn’t care less about a kidnapped American journalist.

We’re challenging it. See you in court.

No sitting president has ever appeared before the Supreme Court during oral arguments in the history of the United States.

Republicans introduced a bill that is a thinly veiled attempt to give Trump unlimited power to use the DOJ as his own personal law firm. Congress must start enforcing our checks and balances — not hand him even more power.

ICE guards are betting on which detainee will kill themselves next. The AP just exposed the savage conditions of a detention camp in El Paso. The Associated Press got inside Camp East Montana. What they found should be on the front page of every newspaper in this country until it closes. About 3,000 people packed in per day. Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds. Staff made nearly one 911 call per day in the camp's first five months. One call captures a man sobbing after being assaulted by another detainee. Another has a doctor describing a man banging his head against a wall while expressing suicidal thoughts. A nurse calls about a pregnant woman in severe pain with coronavirus. Detainees suffering seizures, some resulting in serious head trauma. Ages ranged from a 19-year-old who fell from a bunk to a 79-year-old who couldn't breathe. And then there's the detail that should haunt this administration for the rest of its existence. Owen Ramsingh, a former property manager from Columbia, Missouri, who spent weeks in the camp before being deported to the Netherlands, told the AP he overheard a security guard talking about a betting pool among the staff. They were wagering on which detainee would be next to die by suicide. The guard said he had put $500 in. The total pot rode on the outcome. Ramsingh said the talk was particularly devastating because he had contemplated suicide himself. Guards are gambling on the deaths of people in their custody. People who are hungry. People who are sick. People who are begging for help through 911 calls that come in every single day. And the staff turned it into a game. This is not some rogue facility. This is the system working exactly as this administration designed it. Overcrowded by policy. Underfed by neglect. Understaffed by choice. They built a place where human beings deteriorate and then the people paid to watch over them place bets on who breaks first. The AP has the data. The recordings. The interviews. The court filings. This is documented. This is real. This is happening right now in El Paso, Texas, in the United States of America. Share this. Do not let them bury it under another news cycle.

JUST IN: A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to provide access to Holy Week religious services to immigrants held at the Chicago-area Broadview detention facility. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

After the “No Kings Day” Rally a 17 year old boy was beaten with a baton by officer Matthew Martin even after police already had him on the ground for throwing a plastic water bottle near them.This attack fractured his Femur & caused other injuries & he’s had to have surgery! 🤬

The line has already formed outside of the Supreme Court for Wednesday’s oral arguments in Trump v. Barbara, which will determine the legality of Trump’s executive order restricting birthright citizenship. People at the front of the line told me they got here yesterday.

The farmworker movement was always bigger than any one person. We owe a deep debt of gratitude to the farmworkers at the heart and soul of California.

Donald is afraid, so Kash is running cover for him. California is smarter than this.

We’re taking this to court. ICE should not have access to confidential taxpayer data. fedscoop.com/irs-ice-data-s…

If the drafters of the 14th Amendment and the people who voted for it wanted it to be limited to freed slaves only, as Trump claims, they would have included specific language with that limitation. But they didn’t.

The president has zero power to make any changes to mail-in voting so I expect this to be another nothing-burger.

The Republican Majority forcibly changing the way Georgians in Clayton, Cobb, Dekalb, Fulton and Gwinnett Counties vote because they don’t like who they vote for is abhorrent, undemocratic, and wrong. We join Rep Clark in calling for Gov. Kemp to veto HB 369.
