Waymo back up and running on Santa Monica blvd. Would appear Mad Max guy couldn’t catch em all.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Just a hopelessly corrupt and irredeemable political party, and political system.

These 18 Senate Dems just voted to advance the crypto industry's money laundering bill: Alsobrooks Booker Cortez Masto Fetterman Gallego Gillibrand Hassan Heinrich Hickenlooper Kelly Kim Lujan Padilla Rosen Schiff Slotkin Warner Warnock

Since Jan, Trump administration members have 1) endorsed the Confederacy, 2) endorsed white Afrikaner attacks on the post-Apartheid South African government, 3) given a Nazi salute at the inauguration, 4) endorsed the neo-Nazi party in German elections. There's a pattern here, but it's subtle.

NEW: After firing expert scientists on the CDC's vaccine advisory committee, RFK Jr. has named their replacements. The new committee contains many figures known for spreading disinformation about vaccines and COVID including Robert Malone and Martin Kulldorff. This is bad.

Bruce Springsteen speaks on the American moment

Kickoff your weekend with us. 🤭 Week 12 starts Friday at 8pm ET.

My statement on the Trump Administration deploying Marines in LA. ⬇️

For 13 years, #DACA has transformed lives, communities, and our country. It’s time to turn temporary protection into real stability. We need to pass @sylviagarcia.house.gov's bipartisan American Dream and Promise Act to keep families together and our communities strong.

Donald Trump commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets.  Illegally, and for no reason.

if I had convinced everyone at my job I was the only one who could fix the problems, and then when I didn't actually fix any of the problems got to act sad about the problems not being fixed, I would personally never fix the problems. this is why I am seeking a seat in the united states senate

Education is not charity. We build a stronger economy when we have a better-educated workforce. Trump’s big ugly bill cuts Pell Grants & reduces what students can borrow. He’s raising costs for people whose only sin is trying to get more education—and not being ultra-rich.

Dreamers are our colleagues, neighbors, and loved ones – they have transformed communities for the better across Orange County.   As we approach the 13th anniversary of  DACA, we must fight back against the attacks by the Trump administration and protect dreamers around the country. #HomeIsHere

Karen Bass: "On Saturday night, the president tweeted that 'because of the great work of the National Guard, the protests & the violence was curtailed.' The National Guard wasn't even here. They didn't even arrive until the next day. That's why it's very hard to not see this as a stunt or test case"

DOJ's trumped-up, politically-motivated prosecution of a Democratic House Member for performing oversight duties is an effort to silence dissent and chill scrutiny of Trump’s rampant lawlessness.

Here's a run down of how many U.S. allies died fighting with America in Afghanistan, with an adjustment for population size.

HEGSETH: We wore a patch on our shoulder that said ISAF -- International Security Assistance Force. And you know what the joke was? That is stood for 'I saw Americans fighting.' COONS: Let's just make clear for the record that our military partners in Afghanistan included many who served and died

We’re fighting Republicans’ big, bad budget for people: People who say ‘my energy costs are too high’– this bill raises costs People who say ‘I need my job’– this cuts millions of jobs People who say ‘I love my kids’– this puts their future at risk We need to kill this bill.

BREAKING: A few minutes ago, a vehicle of three people was rammed by a truck belonging to federal immigration authorities in Boyle Heights, CA. According to security footage shown to me, they deployed chemical munitions & detained the driver at gunpoint. All are US citizens according to the wife.

Plaskett to Bessent: "Excuse me. Let me get something straight with you. I've seen you interrupt everyone. When you come to someone's house, you respect their rules. And in this house, we don't interrupt individuals. And you're not going to interrupt my time."

Can’t emphasize enough what a disgrace this whole sad episode was

Rush job on a busy morning, but here’s a protestors’ rights flyer with tearaway cards to post around the neighborhood ahead of Saturday (print double-sided, flip on short edge): gem7.neocities.org/pubs/protest...

My relatives keep asking me how we're doing in the riots. I say, you mean the police riots? Cuz no one else is rioting.

SCHATZ: Do you think this order applies to any Guard anywhere? Did you just potentially mobilize every Guard? HEGSETH: Part of it is getting ahead of a problem so that if in other places, if there other riots, we would have the capability to surge National Guard there

GRAHAM: Is Putin gonna stop in Ukraine? HEGSETH: Remains to be seen GRAHAM: Well, he says he's not. This is the '30s all over. It doesn't 'remain to be seen'

SCHATZ: Did the Department of Defense initiate the conversation with the Qataris? HEGSETH: I'd have to go back and review it SCHATZ: It matters who's asking, doesn't it? HEGSETH: Ultimately the Defense Dept soon will be in receipt of a gift from the Qatari government

Texans are protesting peacefully, and Greg Abbott has the National Guard on standby. 
Because nothing scares him more than the people standing up and speaking out. Let me remind y’all: the right to peaceful protest is in the Constitution.

It was never going to be only Los Angeles. Curious to see how people respond to a red state occupation.

For those not from LA, trying to parse what the hell is going on through the slop of CNN coverage. This is a map of the curfew area last night. Does this fit with the city in chaos that Tapper and Burnett are painting for the country?

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

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.

Rewording my earlier post. RFK Jr will be testifying before Congress. I am interested in what experts and others think would be the best way to leverage this time and opportunity for the public good. If you were behind the dais for this hearing, what would you do? What do you want to see asked?

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring *all* removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.
