Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Look at this map @nytimes.com used with its buried story about the #nokings protests They left off my city. How about yours? @50501movement.bsky.social @indivisible.org @meidastouch.com

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

2,000 National Guardsmen in L.A.? Trump isn’t sending aid...he’s sending a message: compliance at gunpoint. Deploying soldiers to our own streets like enemies of the state? This isn’t leadership. It’s authoritarian theater. And we should be furious.

Peaceful protests are fine. Violence is not and will only destroy your message. And please for the love of God do NOT wave a Mexican flag. American flags or nothing

A video explaining the terms about federalization of the Guard, the difference between the Guard, Reserves, and Active Duty, and when the guard or active duty can engage in law enforcement. Hint: the guard as activated in Calif cannot. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl...

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount. Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters. But they are PEACEFUL. ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

"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’s tariffs, announcements and posts dramatically affect the markets, and his administration has been benefiting with well-timed trades. There’s a reason why Trump fired the ethics officials and investigators who monitor the executive branch.

Instead of making the tipped and federal minimum wage a living wage, we’re ending taxes on tips so taxpayers can continue to subsidize hospitality employers who pay poverty wages. This is a handout to the hospitality industry and their lobbyists, not a tax break for workers.

Reporters who ran with ‘Trump vows to protect Medicaid’ or ‘Trump considers taxing the rich’ in the past few weeks should seriously reconsider whether their job is journalism or stenography.

The entire Republican Party has lined up solidly behind a would-be fascist dictator with a narcissistic psychopathic personality disorder. But the real problem is that Democrats spent too long backing a president who often looked and sounded old.

Donald Trump is spooked by the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney. Carney is a former central banker and the rumor is that on the phone Carney threatened to sell Canada's holdings of Americans bonds unless Trump stopped threatening Canada. That's apparently all it took.

Ask yourself: If the President so easily falls for photoshopped pictures he sees on Truth Social, what other complete falsehoods is he relying on when he makes decisions? How else is he being manipulated? That wasn’t funny. It was scary.
