America's Sleeping Giant roared when police attacked civil rights marchers. And when Nixon tried to cover up Watergate. Today it roars in Minneapolis and around the country — at the jack-booted thugs occupying our cities.

Five U.S. House representatives said the Trump administration should refrain from sending federal tax dollars to Utah's planned homeless campus.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Don Lemon and Georgia Fort have been released. But the procedural history now emerging is unusual. Before the arrests, a federal magistrate judge found no probable cause to arrest them. The government appealed anyway. Here’s why that matters—and what it signals more broadly.

More and more Americans are voicing their outrage at the tactics being deployed by federal agents in Minnesota. But it’s important to understand the broader implications of what this administration is doing, and the threat it poses to the basic freedoms of every American.

Watch as ICE refuses to let a doctor render aid to Renee Nicole Good.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy. She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

I just signed the Election Rigging Response Act to put Proposition 50 up for a vote on November 4th. The people of California will have the power to push back against Texas and any other state that obeys Donald Trump's demand to rig the next election.

DEEPLY. FLAWED. DESTRUCTIVE. BACKWARDS. Originalists want to take the words in the Constitution and its amendments and apply them without interpretation to modern situations . . . and then twist their cherry picking to suit their agenda.

GOP wants to sell off public lands to billionaires. Will they swallow up beautiful public lands to build private cities and towns? This is what a group of billionaires (Flannery Associates) are trying to do in Solano County, California. Buying huge swathes of public lands makes this easier to do.

Okay, but do we really need the "xoxo"? Surely, not.

Must suck knowing that you spent over a quarter of a billion dollars backing the wrong horse. Or was getting Trump elected the plan all along only to force his ouster once the bros are done with him, and before his term is up, thus making sure to tuck JD Vance behind the Resolute? Diabolical!
