What timeline is this?! Here to be informed and trying not to lose my mind. (I want to be nice, but F*** Trump, Musk, etc., ad nauseum, ad infinitum). I know, I vent and rant too much...I'm angry right now.

Jim Acosta has some advice for Terry Moran as he makes the move to independent journalism on Substack: “Don’t look back. This is the future.”

Predictably, after Gavin Newsom announces that a judge has ruled the National Guard deployment in LA illegal, we then learn that appeal judges have issued a hold on that order. The fact that Newsom had to seek a legal ruling against the president of his own country is surreal & appalling.

Fact check: TRUE

I would simply stop cooperating with Republicans on anything in the Senate until they hold the Trump regime accountable for these and many other actions.

Stephen Colbert ripped into Donald Trump for his baffling inability to answer a simple question about “Les Misérables”—despite claiming he’s seen the musical multiple times.

Well, at least Kristi Noem didn’t shoot Sen. Padilla in the face.

I still don't buy the phony reason they have for not showing their faces. This is DISGUSTING. If this were legitimate they would not hide.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾 MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.” ICE: “The whole country is our property.” No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?

The assault on @padilla.senate.gov symbolizes the wider assault by this president on Congress. #padilla #assault

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

This is the most true post I've ever read.

It’s very strange that when I search up "Greta Thunberg” on Google all I get are pro-Israeli articles from Fox and Israeli media denouncing her. But when I do the same thing on DuckDuckgo, I get relatively neutral articles. Very strange.

Greta Thunberg tried to shame western leaders - and found they have no shame By: Jonathan Cook www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/gret...

Manhandling a sitting US Senator is just the latest in a series of authoritarian moves by this Administration…Silencing your opposition from even asking a question. They do this shit because they think they can get away with it. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

i hope the congressional Democrats have more of a plan than calling on their GOP “colleagues” to stand up and do the right thing. Because that’s not a plan. That bridge burned down years ago

Court finds Trump’s actions were “illegal.” Plaintiff State of CA won! Pound sand Kristi Noem, Trump, Miller and Republicans. Stay in your lane #NoFascistUSA #Voices4Victory

Deleted this because the TRO is stayed until noon tomorrow

Amazing news! This is why you don’t cut cancer research funding… On the verge of a major cancer treatment breakthrough, with a new vaccine shown to completely obliterate pancreatic cancer cells in preclinical trials. Paves the way for move onto the human trial stage. newatlas.com/cancer/pancr...

Yes. According to Army protocol, congressional staff are VIP Code 5, with a rank equivalent to a two-star general/admiral. Members of Congress are of course significantly higher. I have never seen USCP, FPS, or any other federal LEO treat any Member with anywhere near this disrespect and violence.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

I'm guessing it won't matter. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Whole lot of people saying “she must resign” who should be saying “I am introducing articles of impeachment.”

SCHATZ: "This is the stuff of dictatorships. He identified himself. That should be enough."

For no reason, today I've been thinking about that time a bunch of GOP House members broke into a SCIF where classified hearings were being held with media in tow, refused to give up their devices, and live tweeted from inside. No one was escorted out or put in cuffs. www.wired.com/story/republ...
