This election is in your hands. But only if you’re registered to vote in New York City. The deadline is Saturday. zohranfornyc.com/vote

ABC News can’t fire California Gov. Gavin Newsom for telling the truth about Stephen Miller.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

The big crypto markup is still going on in the House Financial Services Committee. Rs are blocking any effort to block Trump from profiting off of crypto while in office.

Protests work. Always have, always will.

while i get why everyone is saying they’ll do it anyway, even russia and qatar had the good sense to avoid black bagging and deporting the tourists pumping millions into their economies, i am not sure ICE has that discipline

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

Trump giving a partisan political speech on a military base to active duty troops, something that George Washington said in his farewell address to the nation that a president should never do. bsky.app/profile/atru...

NEW: The Trump admin has plans to send thousands of foreigners to Guantanamo beginning as early as this week, including citizens of close allies UK & France, with no intention of notifying their home governments in advance, per sources and documents

We should never let ourselves get desensitized to this. It can’t be overstated how outrageously unpresidential and un-American it is for Donald Trump to speak to the US military like they’re his partisan personal army.

What Terry Moran said shouldn’t be controversial. It's precisely the context missing from so much network news and corporate media reporting: The motive. And that motive is hatred. www.mediaite.com/media/tv/bre...

the whole reason Hegseth is at DoD is to produce propaganda footage. how about we not freak when he does that

There's a real attentional trap that all protest movements face and have faced for a long time. If you pull off protests that are polite and civil, even if large, they will struggle to get coverage. Reporters will dismiss them as not newsworthy.

This seems flatly indistinguishable from having them perform ordinary law-enforcement functions, which is (wait for it) illegal. Absent an invocation of the Insurrection Act, military cannot enforce domestic law against civilians.

BREAKING: The enforcement chief at America’s consumer watchdog is quitting, ProPublica has learned. Cara Petersen writes in her sign-off letter that it’s “clear that the Bureau’s current leadership has no intention to enforce the law in any meaningful way.” 🧵 1/

the entire project is portraying immigrants as traitors while valorizing actual traitors

absolutely the lowest priority item in the news but actually makes me angry

This WSJ story about the decline in search traffic because of AI summaries is so grim. Every single outlet spent 15+ years contorting their coverage to cover the same things as everyone else trying to grab SEO, only for Google to rugpull them, just like social networks did. tinyurl.com/bdpzc399

Trump, talking at Fort Bragg right now about Los Angeles, is doing something I'm not sure I've ever seen a president do: he's actively maligning people in Los Angeles — an American city — in front of U.S. troops. And the troops are applauding. As an Army brat myself, this strikes me as very new.

The fundamental unifying belief of all modern American conservatives is that liberals are not really their fellow citizens.

it really speaks to how trump does not see himself as a steward of the white house or the presidency but as its owner. he will do with it as he pleases.

Just beyond the pale, absolutely dangerous and corrosive. President basically rallying active duty US military for war against fellow Americans in an openly partisan way via @atrupar.com

oh my God a New York Times editor had to resign 5 years ago over publishing an op ed by Tom Cotton calling for the military to shut down George Floyd protests now Wall Street Journal is letting him do the same shit separately, "Tom Cotton" sounds like the final boss in a video game about slavery

lol ABC News just fired Terry Moran when these people pretend in 10-20 years that they did their best to stop what's happening during the press tour for their memoirs feel free to ignore them

Congrats ABC. You must be so proud.

The entire Army chain of command should consider resigning for allowing those optics at Ft Bragg. Inexcusable dereliction of duty.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

🇺🇦 52% of Ukrainians are categorically against any territorial concessions, even if the war drags on, — KIIS

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

Navarro: I'm very happy to see somebody that isn't afraid to speak up and call an authoritarian an authoritarian. And if it's Newsom, as a result of what's happening in California now, I welcome it because I have been so thirsty for somebody that is not cowardly

US Appeals Court Allows Trump Tariffs To Remain In Effect During Appeal Process - RTRS

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Jason Carroll was singing the praise of the LAPD and bashing the protesters last night on CNN. In the end, he was zipped tied and hauled away by the same people he praised.

💥 Spot on analysis.

Only gonna say this once (who am I kidding, I'll probably have to say it a dozen times), that stupid Trump stunt with the specially selected soldiers clapping along to his bullshit remarks does not in any way represent the military officially throwing in with Trump on an authoritarian takeover.

This is so much funnier when you realize that the city he's talking about becoming a "failed third world nation" here is *Santa Monica*

Yes. This is like someone whimpering about the mean streets of the Upper East Side or the Hamptons, of Marin or Atherton, of Potomac or McLean, of 02138. S Miller is an embarrassment to all Californians.
