Everything that is happening in Los Angeles could've been avoided if folks had listened and voted for the sane and qualified black lady.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

PSA: If you think a guy standing on a vandalized Waymo car with a Mexican flag is a bigger issue than the president calling for the arrest of a governor for no reason, you may have lost the plot.

Not many people grow up in NYC or LA yearning to take a bus to Bumblefuck, Iowa as soon as they turn 18, but plenty of people grow up in Bumblefuck yearning to get on a bus to NYC or LA when they do.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

“One more question, sir. You wrote a book about the former president's cognitive issues, but the current president posted that the former president was executed in 2020 and replaced by a mindless, soulless robot with cancer. What am I missing here?”

The ignorance of this administration is jaw-dropping. On Wednesday, Rep. Summer Lee (D-PA) asked Education Secretary Linda McMahon if teaching the Tulsa Race Massacre or Ruby Bridges counted as “illegal DEI.” McMahon wouldn’t give a straight yes or no. That says everything.

We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

So he hasn’t invoked the Insurrection Act. It’s this thing. And it is still unnecessary, dangerous bullshit. www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/...

they're doing this because the Insurrection Act sounds cool and edgy but they can't actually justify using the Insurrection Act. it's a silly action by an insecure administration desperately to seem manly and powerful. it should be criticized relentlessly, but it should also be laughed at.

Earlier today ICE agents hit someone with a car and tear gassed a neighborhood, sparking several fires and disrupting businesses. Immigrants, by contrast, did not.

Crockett is the full package. She's had about 20 years as a courtroom lawyer, and it shows as she runs circles around her colleagues in committee. That she's telegenic and scandal-free, is icing on the cake.

Should Democrats take money from someone whose factory violated the Clean Air Act for 12 of the last 12 quarters? Should they welcome someone who operated a racist workplace? Who violated NLRB rules? Who committed securities fraud? Who lied to get a government loan? Who ripped off green subsidies?
