On brand. Disaster relief will now be a personal favor from the President to communities that pledge loyalty. Be grateful if you're from a (relatively) non-disaster prone part of the country.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

New from my investigators: Trump’s IRS nominee Billy Long appears to be implicated in court documents related to a major bribery scheme centered in his old Congressional district. The White House and FBI either didn’t bother looking into it, or they’re covering it up.

We believe in the Constitution, Bill of Rights, separation of powers, and checks and balances. The U.S. was founded in opposition to monarchy. We fought for democracy over dictatorship. What the Trump regime is doing is the antithesis of the values this nation was founded upon.

Over 20,000 people chose to stand behind Ukrainian independent journalism! Less than a month ago, we launched a campaign to grow our community to 20,000 members and prove that independent journalism can survive — without paywalls, without billionaires, and without compromise.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. Tacolini's deployment of Marines and National Guard to LA will cost $134 million, but 'we can't afford' healthcare for our vets, food assistance or kids cancer research.

Gavin Newsom is so incredibly annoying because he is unbearable like 90% of the time but the other 10% he cooks so hard that you can’t help but give it to him

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

The fact an American President got members of the military to boo American citizens should send chills through everyone. There's going to be a rump of the military that's prepared to do whatever he wants.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

While Trump tries to distract you with manufactured crises like the one in LA, don’t forget: he pardoned 1500 real insurrectionists who attacked American democracy. No one beats Trump at double standards, deception, corruption, and Kremlin-style tactics. He is a traitor to the US

I asked the old punk how we will get through this, and he replied: we will get through this by taking care of each other. So I told the old punk that isn’t very specific, and he replied: taking care of each other isn’t about doing something specific, it’s about doing something.

Making the whole thing a street party is exactly the right approach. Keep the violence and escalation on the side of the state. Images of repression, undermine governmental legitimacy. And the more sympathetic that protesters look, the harder it is to paint them as dangerous.
