This little shit called for my Governor to be “tarred and feathered” this week. Maybe Manu can stop kissing ass long enough to ask about it.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

@joshscampbell.bsky.social just heard you on CNN. I cannot believe you think Senator Padilla was handled how law enforcement would normally handle that. What a grotesque answer

Sen. Alex Padilla, who was just forcibly removed from a DHS press conference, is the ranking member of Judiciary’s subcommittee on immigration, citizenship, and border safety, which has “oversight of federal agencies with citizenship, asylum, refugee, and immigration enforcement responsibilities.”

Authoritarianism on full display

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

California Governor Gavin Newsom: “What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty, your silence, your complicity in this moment. Do not give in to him.”

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.

Someone alert Jake Tapper that the president is having imaginary phone calls with the governor of California.

It’s time for California to secede NOW! @gavinnewsom.bsky.social they won’t stop until we bend to their fascist will. Time for us to ✌🏼out

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social please continue to resist authoritarianism in California!

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

LA is out here shutting down the streets outside the federal detention center, where those arrested today are currently being held. Feds are not allowing lawyers or family members in to the facility. LA SAYS FUCK ICE!!

EVERYBODY WATCH. ICE IS OUT OF CONTROL. Video of SEIU California’s President David Huerta getting assaulted & arrested during an ICE raid in the warehouse district of Downtown Los Angeles today. He’s an LA native, American citizen and labor leader. Don’t turn away.

If you strip away the egos and shitposting, the Trump-Musk feud is really an argument over how comprehensively to screw over poor and working people—over how best to make our society a meaner, crueler, less equal, more savage place. New piece from me: newrepublic.com/article/1962...

Listen, all I’m saying is that we’ve seen more pictures of Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein together than we have of Donald Trump and his son Barron.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Man, it's a good thing that President Smartdeals tore up the historic agreement that Obama forged in 2015 so a decade later we could get this much much much better one that gets Iran back on track to becoming a nuclear power.

Let’s be clear - attempting to burn Jews alive in Colorado will not “free Palestine.” And holding Jews collectively responsible for the actions of the Israeli government is not activism. It’s vile, dangerous, and deadly antisemitism. And it needs to stop.

Department of Homeland Security officers invading a congressman's offices and arresting a staffer who tried to stop them is very, very bad. gothamist.com/news/homelan...

Great question

Article I, Section 9, Clause 8: “no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”

My statement on the events that occurred at Delaney Hall today:

This video is less than 7 minutes long and should be required viewing for everyone youtu.be/EwZWCk1ytPU

Today, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem openly flouted the Supreme Court's order that the Trump admin facilitate the return of Abrego Garcia, saying there's "no scenario" where he comes back. One Democratic senator called her comments "incredibly chilling." www.huffpost.com/entry/kristi...

staffers are still cleaning up the Kristi Noem mess after she got gutted/filleted by @chrismurphyct.bsky.social this is A MOMENT. #MustWatch 🧢 @trumpfile.org

Trump just fired the first Black person to serve as the Librarian of Congress. She has been in that position since 2016 and is the first professional librarian to hold the position since 1974.
