Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

DEVELOPING: No warning. No reason. NYPD officers rushed into the crowd and tackled a protester this weekend. His body was limp. He couldn’t move. He said, “I can’t feel my legs.” He might never walk again. For showing up. This is brutality. This is America.

Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.

Dear journalists. When the US President is openly accused of paedophilia the story is either impeachment or defamation. If not, the story is how words have lost all meaning, truth has lost all value, and journalists are now completely desensitised to lying and corruption.

The head of FEMA joked about not knowing hurricane season had started. Americans work too damn hard and pay too much to be governed by clowns. When lives are at stake, we need serious leadership, not punchlines.

This is why my eyes roll into the back of my head when people say Josh Hawley may have had a change of heart and be working for the people. He’s has not. This is Josh Hawley. This is who he’s always been. An insufferable jerk.

I wonder how someone with so many advantages and so much privilege still manages to feel oppressed, still imagines they are marginalized, still feels perpetually under siege by the world around them—a world that has always favored them. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/an-open-le...

The entire MAGA movement is rooted in the most toxic of masculinities; perpetuating knuckle-dragging, emotionally-fetal, alpha male posturing; a culture of relentless aggression that rewards the crass, coronates cruelty, and celebrates sexism. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/if-there-i...

Phang: I fell out of my chair laughing my ass off—this idea that Donald Trump has suffered some kind of emotional distress because of the editing from 60 Minutes, which wasn’t even deceptive. We know you live in a state of emotional torture, Donald Trump—because: you’re the taco toddler.
