Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

Here are some texts I got from an immigration lawyer friend of mine. Shared with permission. Some of the bleakest shit I’ve ever heard.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Trump has created a permanent crisis state. Yet the real crisis began when tens of millions of Americans made the mistake of putting a fascist back in office after his first attempt to overthrow the government.

Crockett: They have nothing to show for it except for those top earners being able to have their next trophy wife or buy their next yacht, or get their next plane, that doesn't work for me. And that obviously does not work for my constituents.

🚨BREAKING: Three judge panel with 2 Trump appointees STRIKES DOWN Alabama congressional map for violating Constitution and VRA. Court finds Alabama INTENTIONALLY discriminated against Black voters. Proud of ELG team and our clients in this historic fight! www.democracydocket.com/cases/alabam...

That’s the flag raising on Mt. Suribachi on Iwo Jima. It happened in February 1945. It has nothing to do with victory in Europe.

guess we know why PBS is getting fucked....

I dunno how I’m gonna do 3 1/2 more years of this 🫠

Rep. Jasmine Crockett didn’t hold back: “I cannot wait until voters get to say, You took food out of my mouth. You took the roof from over my head. You made sure I don’t have healthcare… So I’m making sure you don’t have a job.” That’s not just a mic drop, that’s a warning. #JasmineCrockett #Vote

Your daily reminder that it is our judicial system that decides if someone is a criminal, not the criminal President or his minions in the executive branch.

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

We got tariffs, Canadians got dental care

Pretty interesting.

If a hurricane smashes your home into kindling but you’ve axed the meteorologist who could have labeled it “hurricane,” did it even really happen?

Exactly

Here's your lead for the stealing, MSM: "Federal law prohibits the president from using the I.R.S. to target anyone, but Trump -- who acts with increasing contempt for laws in general -- on Friday repeated his vow to strip Harvard of its tax-exempt status."

I lost my job, my wife has been deported, and I'm out of toilet paper. But at least I know that now my kids will learn that slavery wasn't really that bad.

Except Donald Trump And January 6 Rioters And white collar criminals who donate to Donald Trump And crypto scammers with the last name Trump And Pam Bondi

This is why the student loan bubble is about to burst. I feel bad for this woman—but she freaking nails it. 🔥

Looking forward to the Fox News goons taking that 2-year old down a few pegs. “That infant is no angel, despite what the libs want you to believe. Did you know she cried a lot? I heard she’s not even potty trained. Disgusting.”

History always has a lesson.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

Where did the $6 million for El Salvador come from? It wasn't Congress.

i have no doubt that senator van hollen was genuinely concerned for the safety and welfare of abrego garcia BUT ALSO this is what i'm talking about when i say POLITICAL AMBITION. van hollen may well make himself a household name and nationally recognized political figure with this move

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

Breaking News: Senator Chris Van Hollen met with Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man wrongly deported to El Salvador.

This is a concession by the U.S. government that its “arrangement” with El Salvador is irrevocable. To me this has to be grounds to argue that the arrangement itself is unconstitutional under the Fifth and Eighth Amendments

Weingarten: If you think this is unprecedented. You’re not crazy. It is. It is. We have never faced the kind of assault on people that has happened in the last 60 plus days.

How is this okay?

Couture: 700 billion in fraud that only he could find, yet hasn't produced the receipts… this is all about undermining your confidence in the program’s legitimacy so they can raid that trust fund

AOC: In every single stop that Bernie and I have had in the past couple of days… every single stop has completely blown out all attendance projections.

“George Conway, a conservative lawyer and frequent critic of Mr. Trump, posted on social media, ‘This Paul Weiss capitulation is the most disgraceful action by a major law firm in my lifetime, so appalling that I couldn’t believe it at first.’”

BREAKING: Trump's billionaire Commerce Secretary says that seniors won't care if they don't get their Social Security checks — and that anyone who does complain is a fraudster.

It is a sad day for the legal industry. Paul Weiss, didn't just bend a knee, it set a new standard for shameful capitulation. This is a stain on the firm, every one of its partners, and the entire legal profession.

Brilliant question by Judge Boasberg on #AlienEnemiesAct basically this (paraphrase): If you were doing everything legally, why do the proclamation in secret, in dark, and rushed onto planes? Brilliant. Keys into this earlier reporting.

How bout this, whenever we see a Tesla let’s start giving them Elon’s greeting?

I cannot wait, however far down the line, for the interviews with people who voted Trump for president and later voted AOC for president

Last night @schumer.senate.gov was booed at a New York town hall. Constituents unleashed their anger and fear—Chuck Schumer isn’t leading, isn’t fighting, and they know it. People are done with empty words. They want action.

"White House officials informed the Navajo Nation that an artificial intelligence-powered automated review process looking for content with DEI initiatives led to the elimination of anything mentioning 'Navajo,' according to a statement from Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren."
