I don't want Newsom to run and I think he's a douchebag but he should declare for 2828 (so should Pritzker) for precisely the reason Trump did. To make any LE activity a campaign stunt.

Whats happened in LA over the weekend is pathetic. Once again we see the commander in chief agitating and escalating shit. On another note, it doesn't seem like dems were "overreacting" when we said the fate of democracy depends on this election.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The whole thing started when ICE agents jumped out of vans at a Home Depot in tactical gear and charged at a group of day laborers.

Today, I came to the Metropolitan Detention Center to exercise my constitutional rights as a Member of Congress to check on the safety and conditions of SEIU California President David Huerta, who was arrested by ICE.

Rick Scott accusing people of Medicare fraud is something else, man.

"My name is Greta Thunberg and I am from Sweden. If you see this video, we have been intercepted and kidnapped in international waters by the Israeli occupational forces, or forces that support Israel."

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

What's left of our traditional news media will bear key responsibility if the LA situation leads to the worst outcome. Everything wrong with journalism is on display in the credulous "coverage" -- panicky BS that seems designed to give fascist wannabes the pretext to take it to the next level.

For some reason, I was just thinking about how Trump’s former chief of staff tried to warn us right before the election that Trump was a fascist who wanted to rule us like a dictator … and the New York Times put that story on page A12

The Trump admin ordered a coal power plant to stay on past retirement. Customers in 15 states will foot the bill www.cnn.com/2025/06/06/c... 🔌💡

Goddamn that menace occupying the Oval Office and all who enable his hatred and bigotry.

JD Vance called Thomas Massie’s criticism “ridiculous,” claimed lawmakers had the bill’s text for weeks. Massie had pointed out the 72 hour rule was bypassed denying lawmakers time to read Trump’s massive spending bill before voting on it.

HOUSING THE HOMELESS SAVES MONEY: “a study showed the savings in emergency healthcare, social services and the justice system totalled as much as €15,000 a year for every homeless person in properly supported housing.” It works, helps people AND it saves money.

This is beyond the pale. Predatory cruelty. 💔

ICE is going to elementary school graduation ceremonies to abduct people. You don't get lower than that. It not only destroys the day for the families in question, it destroys the experience for all the other people and terrorizes the children.

The California Labor Movement stands in strong solidarity with our brother David Huerta. We demand his immediate release! @seiuca.bsky.social

It is, without doubt!

"For too long, the Israeli Government has acted with impunity." From the prestigious @thelancet.com www.thelancet.com/journals/lan...

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about the ultra wealthy abusing the system and cruel people having unchecked power over all of us.

China spends nearly as much on energy as US and EU combined – IEA

@colbertlateshow.bsky.social Never, ever have Tapper on again! Clearly not a journalist with principles...clearly not a journalist!

If your bike lane requires people to risk their lives just to be seen, you didn’t build safety, you built theater.

Seems like insider trading to me. Or something like it.

Ron DeSantis stranded drivers at a bridge with no warning just to stop rainbow colors from appearing on it.

One more for the "WTF" quota... This lady has been legally in the U.S. for 50 years. She was detained by ICE in *February* when coming home from a trip to the Philippines and only just released last week. "It was horrific; it was awful, it is crowded—super crowded." www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Spare us the fake outrage.

“We’re not in love with the law” is a pretty good motto for this group

So, no. There is no evidence of fraud.

Trump just reposted on TruthSocial that Joe Biden was executed in 2020 and was replaced by "clones, doubles, and robotic engineered soulless mindless entities."

You up, Jake Tapper?

MAGA kill children. Everyone involved with DOGE have the blood of hundreds of thousands on their hands. Murderers.

Why is this not front-page news? Where is the outrage and alarm?

The entire point.
