not gonna link to X, but that is the source for C-SPAN saying it's not Trump...

"... we want to put this to rest: it was not the president. ... [the call] came while the president was in a widely covered, in-person White-House meeting with the governors."

along these lines, more widespread (and faster) adoption of Ranked Choice Voting would certainly benefit

Neighbors of Portland ICE facility to go before federal judge over chronic tear gas A lawsuit over chemical munitions seeping into residences at a low-income apartment complex across from the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Portland is set for a hearing Friday.

People living across the street from Portland's ICE facility are seeking relief. Not only are chemicals used by federal agents infiltrating their homes, they're wreaking havoc on their bodies and lives. In court filings, they describe sleeping with gas masks.

For Months, Tear Gas Has Entered Their Homes. Now They’re Suing ICE.

A novel lawsuit in Portland argues the chemicals are a health threat that have soaked into apartment walls, furniture and even children’s toys.

Former Texas Lege reporter here. A Dem hasn't held this seat since 1990. Tarrant is the safest of red suburban counties. There is no way the TX and national GOP aren't in panic mode right now.

Texas reporter.

When we call this a political earthquake we are not exaggerating.

An insane result.

A flip in red Texas.

A 33-point swing from red-to-blue.

A MAGA candidate promoted heavily by Trump.

A state where the new GOP Congressional district lines now might not be enough to withstand a blue wave.

A state where #TXSen is now officially in play.

Staggering all around.

A very significant vote. The $75 billion can be taken away; this marks a clear vote by the Democratic caucus to do so.

Rittenhouse stops at Mar-a-Lago for meeting with Trump Since his acquittal last week on all charges stemming from the deadly 2020 shootings in Kenosha, Wis., Kyle Rittenhouse has made several public appearances, granting cable interviews and meeting with ...

www.yahoo.com/news/kyle-ri...

"He's a really good young guy," Trump said.

Rittenhouse was 17 when he carried an AR-style semiautomatic rifle on the streets of Kenosha during a turbulent protest that erupted after the police shooting of Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, in the summer of 2020.

Jon Tester:

“It has the potential of being 1932 all over again, quite frankly,” Tester told Semafor in a wide-ranging interview this week. “Because <b>people are starting to realize that this ain’t working</b>.”

Following the killing of AFGE Member Alex Pretti and the subsequent slanderous rhetoric that followed from top Trump administration officials, AFGE National President Everett Kelley issued the following statement:

“Yesterday, AFGE brought together labor and faith leaders from Minneapolis and across the nation to mourn our fallen brother from Local 3669, Alex Pretti. We honored his life and legacy and lifted up his family, his friends, his union, Minneapolis, and our nation in prayer.

“Today, we demand accountability.

“In the immediate aftermath of Alex’s killing, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem betrayed the public trust by slandering the good name of our union brother and calling him a “domestic terrorist.” Alex Pretti was a patriotic ICU nurse at a VA hospital who devoted his life to serving America’s veterans. That claim was reckless, defamatory, and unsupported by the facts. Noem was preceded in this false statement by Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff, who is also the architect of the chaotic and failed immigration policy in Minnesota.

“Our demand is clear: Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, who was responsible for carrying out the policy that led to Alex’s needless killing, and Deputy White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, the architect of that policy, must resign immediately. If they refuse, President Trump must dismiss them.

Our VA Secretary wants all of his employees who serve our nation’s veterans to understand that if masked federal agents execute you on the streets in cold blood, he will not give a damn about you and will use your death as an opportunity to spread propaganda for the President.

Really hard to look at this and all the other examples of bravery and kindness from ordinary people in this moment not think also of the tremendous cowardice exhibited over the past year by some of the richest, most well-protected people in business, media and politics
