Constituents are asking me, “What’s going on with funding for ICE?”

Let me explain with my favorite treat from the 14th District.

Governing from the Minority Here’s the thing most people don’t understand about power in Washington: it doesn’t disappear when you lose the majority.

This is an excellent article.

@jaimeharrison.bsky.social writes expertly on how government actually works. He has been there.

Many people have loud opinions but no real knowledge.

oh EXCELLENT fight fight fight

All time classic “understands the zeitgeist” ad:

Oh man I can't possibly imagine how good that felt

If rewriting your foreign policy stances overnight (twice!) solely to flatter the ryan grim gang isn't enough to win or even get their approval then I'm not sure the lesson is that you should've embraced ryan grim thought more

🌹remain as useless as nuns in a whorehouse in anything but a Blue +25.

Another note on #IL-9. I was too worried this week to embrace my earlier prediction that Kat Abughazaleh would echo Ilya Sheyman in IL-10 years ago. National progressive groups embrace a candidate wo consulting the district, flood money in, hate on real district voters and go down in flames.

Yes. That’s what the data show. Like they do in every. Other. State.

“Feel safe” = “only see white people”

There I translated it.

Watch this clip.

Professors will recognize this kid as the student who didn't do the reading but still has very strong opinions about how it's all "bullshit," except this time he's not the callow student who's going to fail your course, he's the reviewer who's going to cancel your grant.

oh fuck off

Yes I'm sure they'd all love to race right over here so ICE can arrest them and throw them in concentration camps.🙄

Trump does not understand his enemy at all, and will be constantly caught off guard by their reactions. He still thinks his mafia-style bullying is effective diplomacy.

Half of Americans now say 'Abolish ICE.' It's about time. | Opinion For the first time ever in YouGov polling, 50% of Americans now strongly or somewhat support abolishing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

So it turns out Americans don’t love widespread cruelty.

50% of voters have now embraced "Abolish ICE," including a surprising 25% of Republicans. Keep pushing. All gas, no brakes.

On behalf of Brian’s family, we want to express our deepest gratitude for the overwhelming outpouring of support, messages, and contributions over the last 24 hours. At this time, our priority is Brian’s wellbeing. We are taking a necessary step back from the public eye to allow him to focus fully on his recovery in private. While he looks forward to engaging with you all again very soon, his health and his family remain the current priorities. Thank you for your continued patience and for being such an incredible community. Please keep Brian and his family in your prayers. — Team McGinnis

And for the record, I’ve been running long before this, and yes even after breaking my arm standing up for what I believe in. It’s only made me more determined. Anger is real, and so is resolve. Take care.

Classic Chotiner interview, in that Landsman thinks it went great for him and is wondering why his family looks sad and is wearing black and there are all those casserole dishes in the kitchen

He’s like a really bad actor in a 1980s B action movie that went straight to video.

Justice Alito’s latest opinion is a very, very bad sign for voting rights A decision upholding a New York GOP congressional district could be a prelude to killing the Voting Rights Act.

"Alito is essentially saying that districts drawn under the Voting Rights Act to remedy centuries of racial discrimination are as racist as the racism they were meant to rectify."

Read @ariberman.bsky.social on how the justice's latest opinion could portend the killing of the VRA.

Hey everyone! You can upload all your financial and employment info to Elon’s AI. What could go wrong?

I voted in Dallas County today. The texas.gov site wouldn't tell me where to go, so I went to where I voted in the '24 presidential election. They said I was at the wrong place, and gave me the address I needed to go to. That place then informed me I had to go somewhere else.

Why are so many people acting like any of this is normal?

2 hours of voting ballots are being held and probably won’t be counted.

People literally had their right to cast their vote taken away and alleged democrats are taking victory laps because Black Voters were disenfranchised?

This is like getting the Trix Rabbit to write an editorial about how he doesn’t like Trix anymore, it’s really quite an accomplishment

Watching other people gamble makes me so nervous. How do people do this for fun?
