Thank you @jimmykimmel.com for making it plain: the media is helping to push lies about what's happening in Los Angeles when literally ... almost NOTHING is happening in Los Angeles, EXCEPT for where ICE shows up and kidnaps people. The city is perfectly normal otherwise. Media: stop playing along!

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day. My report:

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

a side note: this is as frontal an assault on the US by Israel as I've ever seen, and there have been some bad ones. This is Israel blowing up the planned negotiations in Oman tomorrow between the Trump envoy and Iran. This is Netanyahu saying the US can't do diplomacy he doesn't sign off on.

Jeffries should have been out there IMMEDIATELY saying that his entire caucus was filing articles of impeachment against Noem. These people LOVE to issue letters. Think of this as a souped up letter and then BASH HER WITH IT DAILY. Every time you can start a sentence with: "NOEM must be impeached"

This stand-alone item is inaccurate, @nytimes.com. In the widely viewed video Padilla loudly and clearly identifies himself from the beginning.

Because Black people know that there is no such thing as “identification” or “identifying yourself”. They aren’t saying Padilla didn’t identify himself as a U.S. Senator. They are saying that there is only one acceptable identity — credential — being white and, in these times, being pro-Trump.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction' It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/coup...

Nine years ago, a gunman tore through my neighborhood bar, Pulse Nightclub, and stole 49 people from us. I was lucky to make it out alive, but my best friends Drew & Juan never made it home to say goodbye. Nine years, but it hurts like yesterday. Please #HonorThemWithAction .

Though their work drew from previous touchstones, Sly Stone and Brian Wilson both heard music in their heads that nobody had conceived before. We’re remarkably lucky that they were able to cultivate ensembles that helped make their music a reality. The cost of genius was steep, though. It usually is
