Earlier this year I wrote about Stephen Miller's whole deal—how his privileged upbringing in Santa Monica was shaped from the beginning by the labor of Latin American immigrants, and how he experienced status anxiety when his family had to live among them. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

FEMA applications are open for individual aid! “FEMA may be able to help you with home repairs, temporary housing, or property damage (appliances, furniture, vehicle, etc). You may also qualify for help with child care, medical, lodging, moving, and funeral expenses.” www.disasterassistance.gov

we need to increase immigration. we have not replaced enough white people yet

Why are we celebrating traitors that fired upon US soldiers in a bid to keep people enslaved?

WSJ: “.. an extraordinary pressure campaign that Musk and X CEO Linda Yaccarino launched to boost revenue by cajoling advertisers—including Amazon, Unilever, Pinterest and Lego—to spend money on their platform.” @wsj.com www.wsj.com/business/med...

MADDOW: “What is this country going to allow him to do? This is an attempted authoritarian overthrow of the 🇺🇸 Constitution and Government… imposition of a dictatorial regime. The strength of the movement against him is what will determine our fate as a country.”

THANK YOU, NEW JERSEY! I’m thrilled to officially be your Democratic nominee for governor and I am ready for the challenge. Let’s do this.

Your gentle reminder that if you take either originalist or textualist constitutional interpretation seriously then the only intellectually honest conclusion is that the US Army, as currently organized, is unconstitutional. For exactly the reasons that we witnessed this afternoon.

Admitting to not following the law on TV

Durbin to Bhattacharya: "I can't understand it. I disagree w/ this admin on so many things. But this is the one that really gets to me personally. To think this nation would walk away from medical research. For God's sake...cancer, your budget requests a 38% cut to the National Cancer Institute"

This is actually perfect. The emptiness makes it look as ridiculous and wasteful as it is.

The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up peacefully.

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

i think southern baptists should probably consider a ban on being led by child predators

So it begins. Discussions are underway within the administration, and Pentagon, about deploying National Guard or active-duty troops to cities beyond Los Angeles. We’ll be sending updated guidance to all coalition members. Please follow every step, even if some sections seem irrelevant right now.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Now, for calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he 💯 is per his own family), ABC fired him to appease an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” This will have a chilling effect on all journalists. Fourth Estate fails. Authoritarianism advances.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

Remember this: be unpredictable. “Outrun, outlast… make it impossible for them to justify the cost.” They’ve already wasted $131 million. We are fully committed to peaceful demonstrations, and just as committed to protecting our communities.

Fetterman @fetterman.senate.gov was having dinner with Steve Bannon at a MAGA hangout. Go ahead and switch parties, Uncle Fester, but AOC is gonna keep humiliating you either way.

We feed you. They hunt us.

LAPD shoot US woman with a rubber bullet for trying to get into her home, they were blocking her entrance and there was no protest in sight. “Holy fuck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” ( www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlore) #3E #StopICE

Absolutely ridiculous. Moran stated verifiable facts that anyone paying attention knows.

Terry Moran, if you’re reading this: the door is open.

He stood in front of our troops today and gave a mean spirited, partisan speech. He stood in front of our troops today and attacked Americans by name. He stood in front of our troops today and goaded them into booing their fellow Americans. Never become desensitized to this.

Several thousand now marching through Lower Manhattan after a rally against ICE arrests at federal buildings in NYC

Thousands of people marching through Lower Manhattan now demanding ICE get out of New York City.

Maddow: I also feel like there’s not very much about that that I don’t understand. Like, it’s the same everywhere. This is blond Berlusconi, you know what I mean? This is inarticulate Viktor Orbán, right? These guys are all the same. The authoritarian playbook is the same everywhere

My mood when it comes to the National Guard and the Marines’ invasion of LA…

This indictment is no more justified than the original charges. I will not be intimidated. My full statement:

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

Veteran reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

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.

We have another chance to kill the reconciliation bill ("big beautiful bill") in the House. Why? The House-passed bill has a "privilege" issue, so the House needs to fix it before sending it to the Senate. Rs are going to stick the fix INSIDE of a rule that moves their rescissions package forward.

Great use of taxpayer funds.

Ice sightings earlier today in Peoria Arizona

New York’s worst kept political secret: Republicans run as conservative Democrats in Blue areas when they know they can’t win as Republicans. You can’t be an opposition party when you’re funded by the opposition.

My office is closely monitoring the situation with ICE activity in the area. Please take a moment to familiarize yourself with your rights. If you have specific questions about your situation, contact your lawyer.

BREAKING: ABC News announces they will NOT be renewing Terry Moran’s contract and with that I will NOT be watching ABC News ever again. I stand with Terry Moran 💙
