It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

Racism is bad economics.

Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

holy shit -- acting US attorney Thompson details that Boelter went to the homes of two other elected officials after shooting Hoffman but before going to Hortman's house. One cop encountered him at the third house but thought he was a police officer.

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

CNN: You were called out for calling a school board member a 'whore' in a text. You've called one of your congressional colleagues a terrorist. Are you part of the problem? REP. RANDY FINE: Calling evil for what it is, calling danger for what it is is acceptable

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

@smith.senate.gov: "I think [Mike Lee] was sort of stunned to be coming face to face with somebody who was really calling him out on his bullshit... The way that people like Mike Lee and others on the right take advantage of the worst kind of human tragedy and political violence... is unacceptable."

Tina Smith confronted her Senate colleague Mike Lee over his social media post that blamed the Minnesota lawmaker shootings on “Marxists.”

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

The rightwing Christian assassin of Melissa Hortman and her husband is also a dog-killer like self-proclaimed Christian Kristi Noem. The cruelty they inflict in service of their god, without any remorse — on even the helpless innocent — should worry us all.

“I find it unconscionable that someone could step up to serve, voluntarily, in our military and be willing to sacrifice their life for our country only to have their families torn apart.” This article first appeared @thewarhorsenews.bsky.social

Walz: "This cannot be the norm. It cannot be the way that we deal with our political differences. Now is the time for us to recommit to the core values of this country ... Talk to a neighbor rather than arguing. Debate an issue. Shake hands. Find common ground. This is who Melissa Hortman was."

A revival starring the Keystone Cops

The Republican bill is incredibly unpopular. It would hurt millions & give tax cuts to billionaires. Make the politics SO toxic that Republicans have to rework the budget framework completely. Protest! Resist! Join together to fight back!

Trump wants blood. He's a coward who usually goes after people who can't fight back. HE'S MADE A MISTAKE THIS TIME.

this is a place where the monsters don't get the benefit of the doubt and that is why i am here

He was hired to do the work of seasoned professionals, that he didn't understand, lay off experienced people including union members, did the work poorly, and cost more than he was supposed to save. Elon Musk is a textbook scab. #Labor #scab

Corporate execs have openly bragged that they will keep prioritizing their profits over their customers’ affordability. They think it's OK to charge more for less. Shrinkflation is Greedflation!

Good life lesson here: do not accept any jobs for which you are unqualified and have no interest in doing well. Also, find a good barber.

As it turns out, Mike Johnson is wrong. Who knew.
