I saw someone post this and thought it had to be a joke. Nope, this is a real NY Times headline.

The idea that a president (especially one with authoritarian aspirations) could gain full control over each state's National Guard forces is profoundly alarming. This would effectively give him a domestic military apparatus that bypasses traditional checks like governors or even Congress.

BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring the Ten Commandments to be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

What do marriage and political views have to do with healthcare? Absolutely nothing. But Trump’s new VA rules let doctors turn veterans away just for being unmarried or a Democrat.

Ohhhh, this is some bullshit

Republicans and Dems find common ground in telling Trump: No War With Iran! Republican Thomas Massie: “This is not our war.. . I’m introducing a War Powers Resolution tomorrow to prohibit our involvement. I invite all members of Congress to cosponsor this resolution.” Democrat AOC: “Signing on!”

WASHINGTON (AP) — Trump directs ICE to expand deportations in Democratic-run cities, undeterred by protests. But it's okay if you are undocumented in a red state because those farmers and restaurants need people for menial labor jobs It was always about punishing Blue States

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

Sounds like the ICE raids aren’t playing well in rural areas and he’s afraid of losing his own base

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

Lots of people pointing out that all of Trump’s cruelest policies function to extract protection money—here, from the agriculture industry, which has gotten him to back off rural deportations. But don’t forget that he also wants to make everything about his base’s cultural resentments.

I'm a US Army Veteran. 250 years ago on this day, an Army of the people stood up and said "There are no kings in America." Today, that happened again. To everyone who showed, tonight I get to thank you for your service in defending this Nation. Let there be no kings in America for another 250 years.

Sounds about like what I’d expect out of this clown show of an admin

Read this.

Republicans will claim Padilla — one of the kindest people I know — is a menacing man who stormed the briefing with smoke coming out of his ears. But the video doesn't lie. He didn’t lunge. He announced himself. He just wanted answers.

If I was Commander in Chief and I’d gathered the troops, I would remind them how Washington, after the Revolution, at the height of his fame when people would have gladly crowned him King, made a show of surrendering his military power to Congress. Because there are no Kings in America.

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

Just what we fucking need right now

EXCUSE ME, WHAT?!?!!??!?

Holy crap. And here in the US there's not a single competant cabinet member who can handle such an event. Is there anyone in the Trump regime who could actually not make this worse?

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

Nothing like Kristi Noem dismissing Padilla as “political theater.”

Articles of Impeachment against Kristi Noem, Tom Homan, and Donald Trump RIGHT NOW. An assault on a US Senator deserves nothing less. (And honestly it’s long TF overdue.)

Why accountability matters: “Civilians have impersonated ICE agents while committing robbery (Pennsylvania), kidnappings (Florida, South Carolina), sexual assault (North Carolina) and other forms of public intimidation (Washington state, California). Opinion”

Reporter to Leavitt: "I'm struck that the president has not at any point said 'the most important thing is to protect the 1st Amendment rights of peaceful protesters' ... why is he not out saying, 'all peaceful protesters will be protected?'"

LOL

Other countries have agency & domestic politics, too 🇨🇦

Absolutely wonderful Trump gets mercilessly booed while attending Kennedy Center and several attended in drag.😂😂😂 www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcoB...

In Dallas, this brave soldier protested against ICE, voicing strong opposition to the erosion of constitutional rights. & Trump’s deployment of Marines to Los Angeles. She emphasized, “We refuse to be used to undermine constitutional freedoms.” Take hope: if there’s one, there are more.

IMPORTANT: Stop calling the troops in LA National Guard Troops. They are not. When Trump activated them against the wishes of the Gov they became FEDERAL troops… like the 82nd airborne with no Law enforcement power! Don’t let them confuse you!

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

A+, no notes

President of the Mexican Senate, "We'll build the wall and pay for it. But we'll do it according to the 1830 map of Mexico... Mexicans were settled in these territories before the U.S. The Mexicans living there are in what has always been their homeland."

Convenient how all the cameras are focused on downtown LA when all the looting is happening up on Capitol Hill

Without comment. Keep hammering this.

President Pedophile is overturning gun silencer bans against Police objections to make it easier for criminals to ambush officers. Sad!!! 😢 🤷 🍊 💩 🌮

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

by @jojofromjerz.bsky.social 1/2 “they hate ridicule. They hate resistance. They hate being outsmarted by someone who doesn’t break a sweat while doing it. And Gavin Newsom? He’s not just standing in the breach—he’s laughing in their faces, reading them their own playbook out loud, & underlining..

This is how the president treats those he calls “suckers and losers”

As the US Army celebrates it 250th birthday, Trump is celebrating the enemy that tried to defeat it.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.
