One would hope that the GOP takeaway from 1) Luigi becoming a modern-day folk hero for gunning down a healthcare CEO on the streets of NY, and 2) a Democratic Socialist winning the Dem primary for NYC mayor would be that they've become too billionaire-friendly and start moderating their policies...

Andrew Cuomo just couldn’t touch Mamdani. Perhaps because Mamdani isn’t the breast of a frightened female subordinate, who’s to say?

New data show that ICE is pulling record numbers of people off the streets who have no criminal convictions of any kind. This is not just a change from the Biden admin. This is a radical tactical shift compared to Trump 1.0. These arrests are up over 1,000% from 2017. www.cato.org/blog/ice-arr...

really great that an Iranian terrorist cell can simply order vests from amazon, dress up like masked ICE agents and walk into any building in the country to plant a bomb… and nobody would stop them. really great.

Informing only Republicans before bombing Iran isn’t a “mistake.” It’s a federal violation. 50 U.S.C. § 3093 requires bipartisan notification—And Trump knew exactly what he was doing when he broke that law. Charge him. Now.

Presidents of both parties have muddied the water on unilateral presidential military action, but an attack on a sovereign nation with barely even a pretext of a lawful reason, no congressional involvement or even interest, and no UN involvement would be a new low for “checks and balances.”

I cannot say often enough that for all his narcissistic swanning about the stage "agonizing" about "his" decision, the Constitution flatly forbids Trump from attacking a sovereign country that has not attacked the US without obtaining congressional consent.

We still have no idea who the ICE agents are. They could be insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals themselves, chasing law-abiding citizens down the street for recording their kidnappings. The odds they aren't are low. Congress must raise hell about this. A masked gang runs our country.

If you’ve got a badge and a gun but think your actions are shameful enough to need a mask, you should quit.

I asked ICE where the “413% increase in assaults” justification for its officers using masks came from. They didn’t answer. So I dug into it, and what I found … did not boost their argument. Gift link: wapo.st/4l7a1ch

Here is the LAPD telling ICE to GTFO of Dodger Stadium. The only reason they came was to start a riot. What they got was the boot. More of this, California.

If you live in the US, you are in greater jeopardy today than you were 6 months ago. So is your family. So are your friends & neighbors. Virtually all the important parts of the U.S. gov't created to protect us are being shut down, gutted, or marginalized. My latest. newrepublic.com/article/1968...

There’s an alternate universe where Fred Trump hugged his children and a 17yo Stephen Miller got to third base, once, and in THAT reality, President Tim Kaine is in the first term of the most boring administration you could imagine.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.

In just five days, Trump’s administration indicted a Democratic member of Congress for engaging in oversight, threatened to arrest a Democratic governor for governing in accord with his mandate, and handcuffed a Democratic senator for asking a question at a press event.

So we can blame Trump for Israel/Iran, right? I mean supposedly Biden was responsible for Russia/Ukraine and Hamas/Israel. I'm sure the Maga lackeys will be very critical of him for causing "more wars".

I met Josh Malina at a Cub Scout camp on Catalina Island (we were both adult leaders). I was sort of reluctant to say anything because I don't like to bother people when they are with their families (in LA it's not uncommon to come across celebs so you have to have an ethic about it).

As a side note, this is why many of us have criticized the Gaza campaign. In one night, Israel hit Iran’s air defenses, leadership, top scientists, and damaged nuclear sites. They’re elite—and precise—when they want to be.

When Trump is asked about something patriotic that a President should be intimately familiar with but he isn't, he calls it "very special."

Don't just say it's unconstitutional, remind people that the constitution is full of very good ideas designed to prevent authoritarianism, and most people who want to ignore it want that specifically because they are authoritarian.
