crazy, almost like there’s a chance that class actions may not provide the relief plaintiffs gained under the universal injunction

Another great opportunity to announce your retirement @hickenlooper.bsky.social

After decades in the US, Iranians arrested in Trump’s deportation drive Some Iranians are getting arrested by immigration authorities after living decades in the United States.

It's very clear that to meet extreme quotas, ICE agents are actively targeting the people who have checked in regularly for years because they are easiest to find. A truly evil weaponization of the immigration system and demonstration of its brokenness.

If the Senate's budget is enacted, millions will lose health insurance, millions will fall into poverty, and the national debt will increase by $3.3T.

All of this to provide a major tax cut mainly to the rich and big corporations.

There is no justification for this.

Chris Murphy: "This is the most deeply immoral piece of legislation I have ever voted on in my entire time in Congress."

Just a bunch of ghouls that need to be investigated and prosecuted if the republic survives

This is a cavalier 'shrug off' response — but it's an abysmal reality that people are held and dying in horrid conditions across US prisons & jail. That's happening under the supervision of sheriffs, wardens, DOCs and governors of all and any party.

A brief 🧵 of some instances to know about.

yes, those medicaid recipients should just inherit their father's business and then sell it for a fortune, like sen. mullin did

this headline is just wrong. California made a small but important exemption to CEQA for infill housing only. give me a break NYT

Hot take: Not only are work requirements for Medicaid bad, tying health care to work at all is cruel and we should be doing it less not more.

Everyone deserves health care. Everyone.

If you really believe that ICE is in any way concerned about the wellbeing of children, Governor Polis has a pedestrian bridge to sell you.

It’s weird that the only time a Democratic consultant enters my feed, it’s because they’re mad that a Democrat got voters excited and won an election.

Andrew Cuomo's defeat in yesterday's primary could have a chilling effect on future disgraced sex offenders' ability to run for elected office.

It's so cuomover. We are zohback. Is this anything

Spare a thought for Jessica Ramos, who threw out her principles & alliances for a spot in the Cuomo administration, and today got 0.39% and is watching a likely Mamdani primary win.

Still not over the fact that Brad Lander is the serving NYC Comptroller, rather a demanding position, AND a mayoral candidate, also a demanding FT job—& he found time to go to the courts to tell folks their rights & walk them past danger & the only reason we know is because ICE assaulted him.

Bad news for Trump's tax bill: Poll finds majority of Americans oppose it A poll found 64% of Americans have an unfavorable view of Trump's proposed tax bill that passed the House in May and is being revised in the Senate

Big Bullshit Bill opposed by 64% of voters:

85% of Democrats & 71% of Independents have an unfavorable opinion of the bill

61% of Republicans have a favorable opinion of it

Cuomo spent the whole campaign trashing the Democratic Party while Mamdani never shied away from being a Democrat. For both centrists and leftists it's an important lesson: if you want to win a party primary you should outwardly like the party.

Somehow didn't have "stumbling dick first into Iraq War 2.0 and Great Recession 2.0 at the same time for no fucking reason at all whatsoever" on the "First 6 Months Bingo Card" but in hindsight we probably should have.

“‘I had him inside here for three days, in this Louisiana facility, my baby dead in my stomach, inside my stomach for three days, dead,’ she said.”

“Good Fucking Riddance” sounds like a great name for a PAC (and SDC), just sayin’ 😏 #NYCPrimary #COPolitics

Rigid Parking Minimums Increase Housing Costs: Making Denver Affordable Requires Flexibility A propoal heading to Denver City Council would help lower rents and home prices in an era of high building material costs and exorbitant interest rates.

“An RTD study found that 40 percent of parking spaces at market-rate housing and 50 percent of spaces at affordable housing near transit went unused at peak times… Each spot adds up to $50,000 to each home’s purchase price or $200-to-300 per month to rents.”

WATCH: “She was trying to do the right thing.”

ICE grabs a mother of 2 small babies, wife of a U.S. Marine, who was here since she was a teen - at her immigration hearing.

Maybe the most disastrous endorsement since Gov. Schaefer endorsed Bush over Clinton, which I think Carville called "the rare case of a rat jumping onto a sinking ship."

COMMENTARY: Colorado Gov. Jared Polis’ $29M pedestrian bridge project will be a monument to government waste (1/2) #copolitics

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.
