The Office of Congresswoman Omar released the following statement: “This raid by Trump’s DHS is an outrageous abuse of power and an unprecedented escalation in the weaponization of federal law enforcement to target political enemies. For a decade, Donald Trump has relentlessly targeted Congresswoman Ilhan Omar with inflammatory rhetoric, repeatedly putting a target on her back. Now, those attacks have escalated to a pointless federal raid. The Congresswoman has done nothing wrong. No president should be able to use the power of the federal government to intimidate his political enemies.”

Ken Paxton is selling off Texas — our land, our water, our communities. Data centers bankroll Paxton, they get tax breaks, and you get stuck with the bill. We can’t afford Ken Paxton’s corruption. (This ad was made by humans — not AI.)

While Talarico will likely have to drop out of the Senate race in Texas if that audio from today is true and he was in fact placed inside a mental hospital and lied about it, he will have a major lawsuit. While it isn’t a crime to lie and say you were somewhere else, it is a crime to leak people’s personal health information. Federal law (42 U.S.C. § 1320d-6) makes it a crime to knowingly obtain protected health information from a covered entity without authorization. Doing so under false pretenses—such as falsely claiming to be a relative—can result in up to 5 years imprisonment and a $100,000 fine. State fraud laws may also apply. The hospital itself faces separate HIPAA liability for any improper disclosure. Talarico is a lunatic who belongs nowhere near the US Senate. At the same time, he will say the hospital violated his privacy and broke the law and if he sues he will likely win. Hopefully he drops out of the Senate race.

For generations, Black faith leaders have been pillars of strength, service, and community across New York City. This week, I welcomed faith leaders to City Hall for a conversation about the issues facing Black New Yorkers, from affordable housing and unemployment, to education and the uncertainties that Black immigrant communities are navigating. Their leadership extends far beyond the walls of their congregations, and I look forward to continuing our work to build a city that serves every New Yorker.

.@SenatorSlotkin (D-MI): "Donald Trump is on track to be the most successful corrupt leader in the world's history...the true scale will take years to unearth; we're at the very tip of the iceberg."

Actress Camryn Manheim: I always wanted a gay son. I have photos of my son in high heels, in full drag. But no! He's the only straight guy in his musical theatre company. When Marcia Gay Harden told me her son had come out to her, I said, "Oh my god, you are so f**king lucky!"

Former special counsel Jack Smith on allegations that he targeted GOP lawmakers in office: "I stand by my decisions as Special Counsel, including my decision to bring charges against President Trump."
