🌮 Trump always chickens out🌮 misses half the story. He flails, yes. But he also leaves landmines. Thirty percent tariffs on China didn’t disappear—they hardened into policy.

Idk man but when the administration that tried to reject humanitarian aid for Los Angeles when it was burning tries to justify their illegal military occupation by saying they aren’t going to let LA burn it kinda sounds like bullshit

Imagine kidnapping people off the street in broad daylight and thinking you're the "good guys". People who are at work, at their kids' school or otherwise minding their business. Imagine shooting people with rubber bullets because they want it to stop and thinking you're the "good guys". 🤔😑

Newsom’s speech wasn’t aimed at libs like us it was aimed at Joe sicpack who doesn’t know anything and wants The Bad Thing in the teevee to go away He, in my view successfully, shifted the blame for The Bad Thing onto Donald Trump

Maybe they really were ICE officers. Or maybe they were a band of vigilantes, arbitrarily snatching brown-looking people off the street. All eyes are now on LA, but secret police are descending upon smaller towns nationwide too. Masked and armed, they refuse to show IDs or warrants. wapo.st/4kIGFke

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

RFK Jr. has built a multi-million dollar empire manufacturing vaccine distrust. His organization, Children's Health Defense, raked in over $16 million in 2021 alone—money made by terrifying parents, undermining public health, & selling false solutions. 1/

“While the MAHA Institute only launched in May, its ties to RFK Jr. are close enough that at its founding conference Lehrman was the first to reveal that the secretary would announce the government would stop recommending COVID vaccines for pregnant people and children.”

This clip has me thinking about people finally taking Trump's ownership of the narrative, enforced by the massive GOP media advantage, seriously. Fox et al want people to believe LA is burning, terrible, overrun. LA has a lot of people who are pretty good at communicating, who can show otherwise!

The thing you have to know and remember about Stephen Miller is that he was roundly booed on stage when he was a student at Santa Monica High School because he gave a speech about how he refuses to pick up his own trash and he’s been upset at California ever since

I have a hard time mentally processing any claims that Los Angeles is a “distraction” given that deploying the military if he gets pissed off and also expansively cruel immigration crackdowns were like the top two things he ran on in 2024

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

Stephen Miller ordered ICE to ramp up arrests—focusing not on violent criminals, but anyone they could grab. Home Depot raids, protests, and military escalation followed. This isn’t law and order. It’s chaos by design. Dangerous, deliberate, and disgraceful. www.forbes.com/sites/stuart...

The AP News Feed can be viewed...live...on YouTube. And I swear the Cameraman is having a hard time finding stuff to film. The protesters are peaceful. The Police are standing around. The Natty Guard and Marines are nowhere to be seen, and thus, NOT NEEDED IN L.A.!!!

I want to be clear about something, but I think definitions are important. What is unfolding in LA is not a "riot" or even an "uprising." Those terms are very specific in meaning. 1/x
