The New York Times published this today when there is actually ample reporting that @kamalaharris.com tried to go on Joe Rogan's show and Rogan made it extremely difficult to schedule due to the Trump campaign & Musk pressuring him not to have her on.

Trump promised to cut energy prices in half. But thanks to him, electricity prices keep going up. This thread tells you why. ⬇️

Essential we hold two thoughts in our head at the same: There is no doubt the Trumpists want an authoritarian police state, and the situation is acutely dangerous. But being lawless does not make Trump omnipotent. Obscuring that distinction is an act of defeatism that only serves the regime.

Gavin Newsom went on TV, called Tom Homan a bitch, and said he if he wanted arrest him he knew where to find him. Maxine Waters told an ICE agent to his if they planned to shoot her they should at least shoot straight. I really don't know what you want from them right now.

BROWARD SHERIFF TONY: “We have other priorities in this community I am focused on and immigration is NOT ONE OF THEM. It’s not our preview. It’s not our responsibility and I will NOT participate in it.”

If you're pissing and moaning about Dems voting for a messaging bill (which, to be clear, don't fucking do anything, this is literally just a "Congress thinks this" pile of crap) instead of the GOP for wasting their time with a messaging bill instead of reining in the executive you're a mark.

Congress’s bill “would RAISE taxes for low-income Americans (Those making $30k or less). Every other income group would see LOWER taxes. The biggest savings would go to people in the $500k to $1 million income group.” @byheatherlong.bsky.social www.jct.gov/publications...

Health insurance companies have lost the trust of the American people, and for good reason. They can begin to restore it by ensuring that access to vaccines remains covered and ignoring the quackery and utter nonsense likely to come from Kennedy’s new vaccine committee.

Los Angeles is a BIG place. For the idiots who think the whole city is on fire (it is not), please see this handy map from Craig Miller. Look for the red highlighted circle. Any Angeleno not *there* is perfectly safe. This escalation by Trump is for his own political purposes. PERIOD.

Not a doctor. Not a scientist. No. A longtime heroin addict and current steroid enthusiast who perjured himself in confirmation hearings in order to pursue a twisted agenda that will kill more Americans than Osama Bin Laden.

Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

There’s more chaos during your average championship-starved city’s sports championship celebration than there is in LA right now even with this utterly absurd militarized government presence. This administration is an absolute farce.

In an executive order declaring a national emergency, Trump pronounced the metal stairs “An Enemy of the People.”

the fact that people were told “today you are going to an elementary school to lie to teachers and kidnap kids” and didn’t immediately tell their bosses to go fuck themselves is all you need to know about why ICE should be dismantled

LA produces all of your Made In The USA apparel and fabric. LA is the port for most of your goods and produce. LA makes and the USA takes, baby.

day laborers who stand outside the Home Depot are the only men on this planet a woman alone will roll up to, invite to get in her car, tell them she has cash, and drive them to her house, feeling perfectly safe the entire time, and LA is never ever gonna let Feds fuck with them
