LA: “Trump! Let’s be clear! Immigrants are welcome here!” From @btnewsroom.bsky.social : www.instagram.com/reel/DKqCYmo...

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

Thank you, Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom, for your strong leadership. Despite false claims from Trump, you kept Los Angeles safe without deploying the National Guard. Your commitment to protecting our community and upholding rights shows true strength and integrity. We appreciate you!

Under the Republican Party, the US government refuses to back up Ukraine or our European allies. But they will declare war on Los Angeles.

This is patently unlawful, if the Marines are being used for regular civilian law enforcement on the whim of the SecDef.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

LOS ANGELES: Stay off the streets tonight. Stay home. Stay safe. Tom Homan says the National Guard might be deployed — and I’m telling you, he wants violence. They’re baiting us to react so they can escalate. Rule #1: Never protest at night. That’s when the worst happens—under cover of darkness.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

this is like drake and kendrick lamar but they're both drake

No. Absolutely not. He's a nazi. He smashed the federal government and stole our data. He put USAID and USIP in a wood chipper, leaving hundreds of thousands of children to die. He's not welcome in any party I belong to. www.politico.com/newsletters/...

UPDATE: Reuters: CBO ESTIMATES TAX AND SPENDING BILL WOULD INCREASE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WITHOUT HEALTH INSURANCE BY 11 MILLION IN 2034

POCAN: Is the federal govt currently spending less this year than it did last year? VOUGHT: No, it's not POCAN: Part of that is because you've sent us a recession package worth $9b that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster, but you've added $200b to Defense and Homeland Security.

If your industry can't survive without exploiting people, then you're in the wrong industry.

Idiocracy undersold it

When do we start all the winning? www.reuters.com/world/us/us-...

WATCH: @repmoskowitz.bsky.social calls out the astounding nearly $1 BILLION (!!) for ICE employees in bonuses alone in the Republican budget. Masked anti-constitutional vigilantism pays well these days. 🇺🇸

While Stephen Miller publishes the faces of the judges that struck down Trump’s unlawful tariffs, his own goons in ICE refuse to show theirs out of fear of being publicly identified. If our judges are brave enough to face MAGA threats with their faces showing, ICE should not hide behind masks.

Elon Musk was high on Ketamine, carried daily ‘box of pills’ as he cozied up to Trump, report alleges

The @rollingstone.com hed is a little more direct than the @nytimes.com. 🤡 www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Trump has picked 2022 law school grad Paul Ingrassia to lead the Office of Special Counsel. As of 9 days ago, Ingrassia’s Instagram included a pinned photo of himself w/ self-professed “misogynist” Andrew Tate (such “physical prowess”) who has since been charged w/ rape & trafficking in the UK. 1/

Soooo wrong!

Sickening!!!! They went ape shit about how Dems are blowing up the deficit yet they put an atomic bomb to it!?

House GOP is holding a hearing on their tax bill at 1:00 AM because they don't want us to know about their scheme to strip 13.7 million people of health coverage & they think no one will stay awake for it. I’ll be there, testifying & offering amendments to protect our families.

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Oh.

BREAKING: The GOP-led House Budget Committee just voted to reject Trump's big budget bill — an embarrassing setback for Republicans. Five conservative hardliners joined all Democrats in voting against the bill.

NEW: ICEBlock is like Waze but for reporting ICE. Check it out here: slate.com/technology/2...

Kid Rock’s Big Ass Honky Tonk Rock N’ Roll Steakhouse closes to avoid ICE raids

this would be the kind of scandal that demands resignation if these people had any commitment to public service!

Today’s the day. Republicans just dropped their bill to gut your health care, and they’re trying to pass it tonight while you sleep. I’ll be in committee late, fighting to protect Medicaid. 🔔 Follow along here & on Instagram/Facebook Stories. Remember to turn on post notifs. Let’s give them hell.

Republican Tommy Tuberville has blocked a Democratic resolution that would have condemned the proposed gift of a luxury jet from Qatar to Trump.

Let’s clear something up: SNAP stands for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program — the LARGEST federal program to fight hunger in the country! It blows my mind that the party that touts its “Christian values” is the same party that is SET on taking food from the hungry.

Current problems mostly related to staff shortages. Some balloons aren’t getting launched. Some forecast offices can’t operate 24 hrs/day. But, the real nightmare isn’t inaccurate weather forecasts. It’s going to be: “impossible nowcasts”. What’s a “nowcast”( glad you asked, read next thread…🧵

So is American major media just going to pretend that Donald Trump and his venal band of brigands didn't just spend the last five years of this space-time continuum daily accusing Joe Biden of taking bribes from a foreign country—something Trump just PUBLICLY did to the tune of $400 MILLION DOLLARS?

🚨 Urgent - Medicaid Thread 🚨 House Republicans have introduced a proposal to cut $880 billion from Medicaid, risking the healthcare of 8.6 million Americans. These cuts are part of a broader plan to fund $4.5 trillion in tax breaks benefiting the wealthy. 1/ fortune.com/article/hous...

BREAKING: The Episcopal Church has announced it will end its decades-old partnership with the government to resettle refugees, citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa who have been classified as refugees by the Trump admin. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...

Wow At least 4 conferences are moving from the US to Canada, because people are anxious about traveling to the States...

The fact that the attorney general's last job before this one was lobbying for the Qataris is a little on the nose.

Happy tariff capitulation day to all who celebrate.

Threatening to suspend habeas corpus doesn’t just target immigrants. It targets the very system that protects everyone.
