The changes are fast and furious. Fuck ICE.
After a blue wave swept Texas, the Houston mayor announces that he's ending local police cooperation with ICE to "reduce fear and anxiety across our community."
The Houston Police Dept was forced to work with ICE after the Abbott threatened to pull more than $110 million in funding from the city.
Now, with Gina Hinojosa taking control of the state, local police will let any illegal immigrant they encounter who doesn't have a jail worthy offense go free without notifying ICE.

Zohran Mamdani just did what most Democrats and Republicans are too gutless to do.
He looked straight into the camera and said the quiet part out loud:
Republicans called Obama a socialist every single day for 8 years. It didn’t stop him.
Now they’re trying the same tired red-baiting on anyone who wants a New Deal instead of the raw deal working people have been force-fed for decades.
People are hungry for something real. Not more corporate welfare dressed up as “moderation.” Not more “public-private partnerships” that somehow always privatize the profits and socialize the losses.
Mamdani is right. The socialist smear is a dead tactic.
The only question left is whether the Democratic Party has the spine to actually deliver for the people who keep electing them… or if they’ll keep protecting the same donors who’ve been extracting wealth from this country for 40 years.
Keep going, Mayor.

With Dems all but certain to prevail in Mississippi and Alaska, we're most likely looking at a 56D-44R Senate and a ~260D-175R House, which would be Dems' largest House majority since 1992.

Chuck Schumer is a conciliator, not a fighter nor agent of change. The electorate just voted for change and a real fighter that stands up to Trump and his billionaire friends. Chuck Schumer, 75, has served well but should now retire and open the door to younger leadership.

Nothing says "we heard the message and ignored it" quite like naming a white nationalist as chief of staff.

Elevating Miller to chief of staff is a good reminder that it can and will get worse. There is no bottom for Trump and MAGA. They will not learn their lesson.
We have to expose them and bury them in 2028.

The Constitution does not explicitly require the Speaker of the House to be an elected member of Congress. That means Obama could be Speaker. Just throwing that out there for funsies.

The White House is actively working to establish a dictatorship. Suspending habeas means indefinite detention of political opponents, citizen & noncitizen. And Democrats are talking about the need for "bipartisanship"?
Stephen Miller says that the Trump administration is 'actively looking at' suspending habeas corpus, the constitutional right to challenge unlawful detention
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
This is a May 2025 clip. Stephen Miller said the Trump administration was actively looking at suspending habeas corpus. Reports indicate the proposal was seriously debated but White House lawyers advised it requires Congressional action. No suspension has occurred.

So Republican officials intentionally disenfranchised thousands of Mississippi voters and are now gearing up to go to court to say we only meant to disenfranchise the Democrats, not the Republicans, so only the Republican affidavit votes should count…am I getting that right?
