This is the modern Republican party. They only represent people who bow and scrape, despite oaths to represent all.

Weaponizing law enforcement against political opponents is pure authoritarianism — the sort of thing we expect from the likes of Putin and Xi. To see it from a U.S. president is abhorrent. Americans must stand united against this assault on our Constitution.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

Be clear on what she’s saying here: She’s saying that Trump is going to use the U.S. military to overthrow both the duly elected Mayor of Los Angeles & the Governor of California. I understand she’s not very bright, but, in essence, she’s saying the federal government has declared war on California.

A repressve government will always be able to find willing thugs with badges to be their muscle. These particular officers were a good choice to intimidate and assault dissenters. Lets be sure that they and their commanders are identified and held accountable.

Based on a true story from Germany that is appropriate in USA today "The Wave is a made-for-TV movie based on The Third Wave experiment put on by teacher Ron Jones to explain to his students how the German populace could accept the actions of the Nazi regime." - Wikipedia youtu.be/D55LkspO5ZU?...

Both of these can be true: -1 A jouralist standing between police with weapons drawn and angry protesters should expect this risk and not be surprised when something bad happens. -2 The cop can be seen firing directly at her and should be charged with a violent crime under color of authority.

Years ago in AZ there was a Republican push to mass deport illegal aliens. Then their billion dollar business donors pointed out that construction, agriculture, and hospitality were the majority of the economy and dependent on illegally underpaid labor. The whole effort just suddenly disappeared.

Good morning. If the Republican budget bill passes: - 40% of the country will lose money - 15 million people will lose their health care - the richest families will get a $270,000 tax cut - the debt will go up 2.4 TRILLION dollars Who is asking for that??

Republicans like to call their legislation a “Big, Beautiful Bill.” Today the nonpartisan CBO showed us the truth: their bill would kick almost 11 million people off their health insurance & balloon the deficit by $2.4T. That’s not “beautiful”—it’s the Great Betrayal in action.

Ukraine built hidden compartments in truck trailer roofs to conceal explosive drones. They placed the trailers near airfields across Russia and opened them remotely to attack. In addition to $1 B in losses, going forward R has to search every truck, shipping container, railway car, etc. Brilliant.

What competent, productive, honest CEO spends JUST 40 hrs a week at their job? Any sane leadership team and shareholder group would consider it negligence and would have found a new CEO by now. The execs and officers should take a ton of heat for letting it get to this.

This guy stole $10 million from the employees of his nursing home to buy himself a luxury yacht and Cartier watches. He PLED GUILTY. And because his Mom gave Trump $1 million, he just got a pardon. And this story barely makes the news today. WTF. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/27/u...
