Donald Trump's deployment of California's National Guard in Los Angeles was an unlawful and unconstitutional abuse of power.
It was done over California’s objection — all in an effort to intimidate peaceful protestors advocating for immigrant rights.
This ruling presents another obstacle to a potential misuse the National Guard around our elections.

JCRC Bay Area mourns the loss of Dorothy Saxe, a Jewish community leader and philanthropist who passed earlier this month at age 100. Her decades of generosity and leadership strengthened Jewish life across the Bay Area, including Congregation Beth Am, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, Jewish Family and Children’s Services, Jewish Federation Bay Area and the Oshman Family JCC.
Her commitment to tzedakah lives on through generations of her family and the communities she supported. We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family and loved ones. May her memory be a blessing.

This is extremely useful
Just launched electionhub.org, which puts every key election in one place, shows results in real-time, and calculates majorities and flips.
Both federal and state elections included. Hopefully it makes election night a little easier.

NEW: I just finished visiting the Customs and Border Protection holding facility at LAX.
Last week I went to the CBP facility at SFO with an announced visit. This time I wanted to observe the premises without prior notice. They allowed me to enter without an appointment — which the law requires but DHS has not always permitted. (This is something we will have to insist on in the budget process.) 🧵

Comey's attorney Pat Fitzgerald issues a new statement after he was charged again:
"For the third time in little more than one year, the Department of Justice has attempted to charge Mr. Comey with a federal crime. Mr. Comey steadfastly maintains his innocence.
In September 2025, the Department of Justice used a person who was not actually a United States Attorney to seek an Indictment that was not actually shown to the grand jury. And it charged Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit. That case was promptly and properly dismissed.
In April 2026, the Department of Justice filed charges in the Eastern District of North Carolina concerning Mr. Comey’s posting of a photograph of seashells spelling '8647.'"
We will not comment beyond our filings in that case.
This most recent case involves an October 5, 2016 New York Times article that two different teams of prosecutors investigated during the first Trump administration. Both times the Government determined that no charges should be brought against anyone. Now, ten years after the article was published, the Government filed an 'Information' against Mr. Comey that was not approved by a judge nor issued by a grand jury. It purports to charge Mr. Comey with crimes that he did not commit.
We are gratified that United States District Judge Trevor McFadden has ordered this matter unsealed. Mr. Comey will fight these charges vigorously and in the open."

Trump's offering $1 million for tips about voter fraud. I saw a convicted felon and rapist voting in Florida with his wife who's in this country illegally. Where's my money?

Fuck yeah. I’ve got a bunch of GOP voter fraud to report.
Let’s start with the 3 dudes who voted from Scott Pressler’s house

New: Gov. Greg Abbott must let his political opponent, Gina Hinojosa, review more than 1,000 pages of his unredacted communications with Elon Musk, a Travis County Dem judge rules.
Abbott likely to appeal before Hinojosa reviews anything. #txlege
