Omg. Democratic House Rep. Gerry Connolly passed away from esophageal cancer just weeks after he announced he was stepping down from as the top Dem. on the House Oversight Committee and wasn’t seeking reelection in 2026. He was 75. My heart goes out to his family and friends.

New in PN: DOJ politicization escalates with bogus arrest of Rep. LaMonica McIver "Even Alina Habba's sworn declaration contains obvious false statements, clearly disproven by the bodycam footage ICE released to the media. And her online posturing appears to violate the DOJ's own rules."

If there are any f*cking lessons learned, the media better start demanding real transparency on Donald Trump’s health, unless they honestly believe he’s 6’3”, 224 pounds, and passed his cognitive tests with flying colors. He’s not just getting a pass; it’s a cover-up. And everyone sees it.

Pence: "They support Hamas. They supported Al Qaeda. Qatar has actually financed pro-Hamas protests on college campuses across the US. So the very idea we would accept an Air Force One from Qatar I think is inconsistent with our security, intelligence needs, & my hope is the president reconsiders."

It's a testament to the fact that ICE is full of true believers in this fascism that the orders to wear gaiters, to refuse to provide identification, and to kidnap people w/o a warrant have not leaked. I mean, yeah, I know that's obvious. But we've had leaks of virtually all other such orders.

On Friday morning, not a single cargo vessel had left China with goods for the two major West Coast ports in the past 12 hours. That hasn’t happened since the pandemic. Six days ago, 41 vessels were scheduled to depart China for the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach. On Friday, it was zero. ZERO.

What ICE has done in Newark is unacceptable. The Newark Mayor was doing his job. Arresting him is an alarming escalation that cannot be allowed to stand. We stand firmly with Mayor Baraka and his right to do his job . The Trump administration’s actions are an abuse of all we believe in America
