Gas and diesel just hit the highest prices ever for a Labor Day weekend - a direct result of this president’s decisions. It doesn't have to be like this.

Not BREAKING NEWS because the Trump admin has been deleting and altering federal datasets for over a year. You can argue about policy. But when the government starts eliminating the data we use to determine whether those policies are actually working, that deserves a hell of a lot more attention.

Newsom: "He's not screwing around. He wasn't screwing around when he called Greg Abbott for 5 seats, said he was entitled to 5 seats. Why does he do that? Because he knows he's going to lose the election unless he rigs the election before one vote is cast. That is what we're up against."

I cant believe this wasn't/isn't bigger news. Like, wtf!

Apparently people are sharing this far and wide on social media, which I think is horrible. This could cripple ICE operations. PLEASE do not share this.

BASH: Chris Murphy says ICE is targeting parents sitting at school bus stops to terrorize little kids. Are ICE officers detaining parents at school bus stops? HOMAN: ICE isn't in the business of terrorizing children. ICE is out there enforcing the law. (So, yes!)

🚨 WASHINGTON STATE 🚨 We have drop boxes everywhere! Less convenient, but, hand delivery to county government offices is another option. No need to use a mail system that is now complicit in suppressing your vote. Anyone willing to drop off ballots for others, make yourselves known to others.

SavingGraces@tamarasclan.bsky.social · 2w ago

The fix is in. It’s up to all of us to get our ballots and return them without using the mail. Drop boxes are the best in Colorado. Even if you have to drive a ways. This time it matters.

“For now” This doesn’t change anything, though - we already knew we couldn’t count on SCOTUS to actually uphold the law. Vote early. Vote in person if at all possible. If not, check daily to make sure your vote counts. We’re still going to win.

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has cleared the way for President Trump's executive order restricting mail-in voting ahead of midterms.

Please don't overreact to Roberts Court decision on the contemplated USPS ballot moves They simply held that the injunction came too early in the process, before there was a final rule👇 Now we HAVE a final rule & we will litigate it. I'm as confident in our arguments here as in any of our cases!

Exciting news. Please join Congressman Jamie Raskin and me for a town hall on Wednesday, August 26th at the University of Michigan! Doors open at 2 PM with the event starting promptly at 2:30 PM:
