Newark Mayor sues Alina Habba, alleging 'false arrest and malicious prosecution'

NEW: The Republican National Committee filed a motion Tuesday to intervene in ongoing federal litigation against President Donald Trump’s executive order on voting, which aimed to restrict voter access nationally under the guise of election integrity. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

@sarahlongwell25.bsky.social: “I think Elon convinced himself of a story about all of the...ways they were going to tackle government spending. He staked his reputation on it. He looks like a fool. He's walking out the door, and the only thing he's lowered is the stock price of Tesla.”

"Just one more thing, sir. Since the election, you've announced 12 projects in foreign countries: the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, India, Qatar, & Oman. You got a $400 million jet, sold meme coins, $600 sneakers, Chinese bibles, & hats. How is any of this making America great?"

I keep talking about the fact Democrats don’t lose elections 25:75 but evidently we can win one 76:24!

I'll leave this right here....🤣🤣🤣🤣

Now comes the part where House Republicans who already voted for the “abomination” say how much they respect Musk and agree with what he said, then the part where Senate Republicans say how much they respect Musk and agree with what he said before they end up voting for it too.

Happy PRIDE to those who celebrate and to those who hyperventilate.

ICE’s own director *said it out loud*: agents wear masks so they won’t be ID’d online. Not for “safety”—but so they can keep terrorizing families in secret. Cowards. If you volunteer to carry out racist raids, don’t cry when the public holds you accountable. Actions have consequences.

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

great, provocative column from larry tye on what it took to defeat the american nightmare of joe mccarthy and the ism that bears his name. along these lines, may i also point you to the 2nd season of my podcast, “ultra”: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Like nearly 40% of all New Yorkers, I wasn’t born in this country. I moved here at age 7. It’s my home. And I’m proud to be a citizen, which means standing up for our Constitution. Councilmember Paladino might consider reading it.

It was never about deporting violent criminals. If that were true, where are the examples? Trump would be shouting the victims’ names from the rooftops. What we’re actually seeing are heartbreaking videos of families torn apart by masked men who look more like white supremacists than ICE agents.

Congratulations to Keishan Scott on winning the 2025 special election for SC House District 50! At just 24, Rep. Scott is bringing fresh energy and bold leadership to Lee, Sumter, and Kershaw counties. Let's go, Keishan! #SCDems #SCPolitics

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

Republicans snuck an AI regulation BAN into the “Big Beautiful Bill.” That means companies like Real Page can use AI to get around price fixing laws and RAISE YOUR RENT. BUT this policy violates the Senate's budget rules. I'm calling foul — and fighting back to reject it.

Trump Is Losing In Court A STAGGERING 96% OF THE TIME! youtu.be/3MviCv5MUu0?...

If case you forgot what a real leader looks like. 🥰 Here’s a reminder. We resist or die trying!! 💙

I don't know whether Elon v Trump is real or going anywhere. But both have real weapons to use which they haven't. Elon can spend money pumping up resistance to the big beautiful bill. Trump can start yanking the contracts Elon gave himself running doge. Until those things happen, meh.

Where is Trump?

MAJOR BREAKING Democrat Keishan Scott WINS the special election for South Carolina's 50th State House District, defeating Republican William Oden by over 41 points in a district Kamala Harris won by about 5 in 2024. 🔵 Scott - 70.6% 🔴 Oden - 29.4% 🔵 Harris 51% 🔴 Trump 45.8%

“Reading is woke!” MTG… probably.

There is some hope.

I’ve encountered zero political analysts who believe Donald Trump will leave office peacefully, and 100% of these analysts understand that Trump will need Hegseth and the Pentagon to hold onto power. Every story out of the Pentagon seems to have, as its subtext, WE ARE PREPARING FOR WHAT IS COMING.

I’m just going to say this. Hate me, get mad at me, unfollow me if you choose. While I am happy to see communities standing up and pushing back against ICE, I can’t help but think that they wouldn’t even have to be doing this. I ask myself, how many of them possibly voted for Trump—

Very Well Said…. Let’s Do This!😊💙

I don't really care if Elon Musk called Trump's awful bill a "disgusting abomination" (which it is) I DO care that he and Trump destroyed USAID Allegedly causing the deaths of 300,000 people-with 200,000 children among them And then CELEBRATED it

My feed is filled right now with Israeli government defenders being absolutely destroyed in TV interviews with UK journalists - Piers Morgan, Krishnan Guru-Murthy, Kamali Melbourne - and being exposed. Begs the Q: why can’t US TV interviewers do tough interviews with Israelis?

Once again I am calling for Democrats to introduce legislation requiring standardized uniforms, visible badge numbers with names, as well as a requirement for ICE and DHS agents to present proof that there is enough danger present to be masked to a judge when they get their warrant.

Alex Jones, who spent years ranting about shadowy government mass surveillance technology, is now stanning for Palantir

Beyond frustrating and disappointing that CBS got a rare exclusive sitdown interview with Musk and didn’t ask him a single question about his reckless and ignorant cuts to USAID and all the lives that are being lost across the world as a result of it:

'Cop out': Onlookers react as MTG regrets voting for bill she hadn't read

Tech billionaire Elon Musk is escalating his attacks on President Donald Trump's agenda with a threat to oust Republicans who don't agree with him.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) accused Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) of repeating "utter nonsense" a day before a DOGE hearing that the Georgia congressmember promised would be "explosive.
