It. Is.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Repost from @wilderness_watch • Call your senators at 202-224-3121 and urge them to vote NO on any budget bill that includes provisions undermining Wilderness and public lands protection. #KeepItWild #DefendTheWild #Wilderness #PublicLands 📸 Arctic National Wildlife Refuge by Hillebrand/USFWS

BREAKING: ICE will begin conducting worksite raids at farms and hotels once again despite Trump's prior Truth Social post stating he wants to protect farm workers.

He’s horrible for not calling but the bigger deranged thing in this quote is Trump adding fuel to the “he appointed him” narrative push

Trumps hands are soaked in Ukrainian blood, while his face is covered in Putin’s saliva.. He continues to get spat on and kicked in the nuts with no end in sight as innocent people pay the ultimate price for his cowardice and incompetence..

The radicalization of the American right is THE story of US politics over the last four decades and political reporters are still not allowed to talk about it

Yesterday, millions of us reasserted the “We” in "We the people." We gained strength from our solidarity. We celebrated our numbers and our power. We will be steadfast. We will not cower to a dictator. We will win.

What we learned yesterday. The Times They Are a-Changin'

Via ABC News's Rachel Scott, let's never forget for a minute what a classless scumbag the President is. x.com/rachelvscott...

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

A senator celebrating the murder of political opponents should be expelled. Not debated. Not excused. Expelled.

This is what fascism looks like - using a conspiracy theory about a dehumanized outgroup as a pretext for seizing political power and wielding arbitrary authority. What you read about in the history books is happening right here, right now.

I participated in my local No Kings protest. I've watched many of the protests across our Nation. ALL PEACEFUL! The only people in disagreement were white, mostly male, & mostly old, flipping the bird. We had one driving through in his orangey-rust colored pick-up truck saluting & yelling nazi crap.

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests. None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

So proud to be a part of this amazing morning. Location ocean beach San Francisco #nokings

HAPPENING NOW: A sea of protesters have gathered in Ann Arbor, Michigan for a “No Kings Day” rally against Donald Trump (Video: WXYZ-TV)

This time-lapse video of protesters marching down Broadway in Oakland for No Kings Day gives an idea of how many people turned out today @sfchronicle.com

Today in Boston. Over a million people turned out. Even the drone couldn't get it all. #NoKingsDay #BostonStrong #ICEProtest

What if he threw a $45 million parade and nobody came? Boring. Low energy. Sad!

Warren to Bessent: "Why is the national debt so very important that you're trying to kick 16 million off their health insurance, but increasing the national debt doesn't seem to matter if you're cutting taxes for billionaires? ... you don't want to answer the question."

Let's keep our transgender servicemembers and kick out Hegseth.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

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.

"An incompetent warning shot or the act of a coward, either way it needs to be properly investigated... how is it okay for your police force to be firing at unarmed Australian journalists?" Karl Stefanovic, an anchor for the Australian broadcast channel that @laurentomasi.bsky.social works for.
