We’re now seeing paramilitary ICE raids in LA — with full on military garb, military tanks, flash bang grenades & the arrest of a major labor leader. This is a core manifestation of fascism — using federal forces to put down dissent. If we don’t stop this now, this is the future everywhere.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

Mike Johnson advocating for kidnapping children. Any Dem worth a shit will make it clear that anyone can buy a gaiter and a fake ICE vest. And he's saying go willingly with them. There is no reason a federal employee shouldn't have to show their face. And this should be an easy one to win.

If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal. But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

The most pointed example of the administration’s slavish devotion to the president’s self-image is within the walls of the White House, which has been transformed into a veritable shrine to Trump’s visage. Read: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?
