Tracking the threats to spring the FBI on Texas Democrats, detention of U.S. citizens, and more.

August 06, 2025

Hi there,

It’s Wednesday. Today we’re talking about Texas Republicans threatening retaliation after Democrats fled the state to block Trump-backed redistricting maps, ICE agents in Los Angeles detaining U.S. citizens during immigration raids, and more.

We’re also tracking how right-wing media are pushing the dangerous lie that immigrants don’t deserve due process.

🖊️ Add your name to demand the media stop legitimizing attacks on basic constitutional rights.
