While we wait for the Supreme Court to rule in a critical redistricting case from Louisiana, this is what the GOP is up to in Texas and Ohio. Remember the GOP's plan is to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

Sergio Gor, Director of WH Personnel, has STILL not turned in paperwork for his background check. He claims he is from Malta but they have no records of him being born there, and he refuses to say what country he is from. nypost.com/2025/06/17/u...

Can someone please ask Karoline Leavitt why the Director of White House Personnel refuses to say what country he is from and refuses to complete paperwork for a background check? Can you also ask if “Sergio Gor” is the name on his birth certificate. Seems kinda important.

I challenge the Trump Administration to produce the birth certificate of “Sergio Gor”, or whatever his name is.

We don’t know what the real name of the Director of White House Personnel is, we don’t know what country he came from, he refuses to turn in background check forms, and nobody will ask the president or press secretary about it.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium. ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

You know your country has screwed up priorities when it pretends it doesn't have the money to prevent LGBTQ teen suicides but it *does* have the funds to subsidize the wealthiest man in the world's engineering incompetence. www.cbsnews.com/news/video-s...

A key reason the GOP Congress abdicated it's Article I powers to Trump is it allows them to evade accountability for decisions they don't want to make/be seen making MCs agonize over how one vote might tank their re-election. Trump is unaccountable--he can't run again and SCOTUS declared him king

I don’t care what city or town you live in. If these guys jumped out of an unmarked van and grabbed you on the street, would you just assume they’re ICE or FBI? Would you willingly comply with their orders and get inside the van? THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. THIS IS NOT AMERICA.

New in PN: Judge rules that anti-woke is just racism “'I’ve never seen a record where racial discrimination was so palpable,' Judge Young fumed. 'I’ve sat on this bench now for 40 years. I’ve never seen government racial discrimination like this.' *More of this, please*"

If random men in masks claiming to be ICE agents try to grab me, and they’re *not* really ICE, I have the legal right to defend myself against them, yes? And if they are ICE, I don’t? So how am I supposed to tell the difference? I’m supposed to give my masked kidnappers the benefit of the doubt??

Statement from Teddy Tschann, spokesman for Walz: “Governor Walz wishes…Trump would be a President for all Americans, but this tragedy isn’t about Trump or Walz. It’s about the Hortman family, the Hoffman family, and the State of Minnesota, & the Governor remains focused on helping all three heal.”

It feels like something turned today with ICE fucking around with Lander. With Mike Lee deleting all his shitposting tweets about murder. Noem winding up in the hospital.

Reporter: Five fellow mayoral candidates came here within 90 minutes of you being arrested and called for your release. What does that say about the tenor of the mayor's race? Lander: Was one of them Andrew Cuomo? Reporter: It was not. Lander: Imagine that!

Hi, this is Meg Barnette, Brad's wife. While escorting a defendant out of immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza, Brad was taken by masked agents and detained by ICE. This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.

Brad Lander, the New York City comptroller who is running for mayor, was arrested on Tuesday by federal agents at an immigration court in Lower Manhattan as he tried to escort a migrant out of the courthouse to prevent his arrest by federal immigration authorities.

“You do not have the authority to arrest U.S. citizens,” Lander repeated, as the officers tightened handcuffs to his wrists.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

We’re announcing new legislation — the No Secret Police Act (SB 627) — to ban local/state/federal law enforcement, w/ some exceptions, from covering their faces when interacting w/ the public & require them to wear identifying info. The secret police behavior we’re seeing destroys trust & must end🧵

The Senate Majority leader is lying

KARE 11 TV in the Twin Cities reports that Vance Boelter's best friend says Boelter voted for Trump and is "a strong supporter"

On the fridge:

🚨Vance Luther #Boelter, the #suspect in the deadly #shooting of a #Minnesota state lawmaker and wounding of another, told his friend that he voted for #Trump, was a #Christian and did not like #abortion.

So encouraged by the #NoKings turnout in my small #Florida city. I'm usually stressed out living here, but today the true patriots were visible and it felt ok for a minute.

This is why LEGIT LEO'S need to show their faces, and ID themselves. They're inviting this cosplay 💩 by hiding their true identities.
