Says it all.

NEW: New York Attorney General Letitia James on the arrest of NYC mayoral candidate and comptroller Brad Lander. “This is profoundly unacceptable. Arresting Comptroller Lander for the simple act of standing up for immigrants and their civil rights is a shocking abuse of power.”

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Newsom: "The notion that the US active duty Marines, these heroes, would be used to militarized the streets of an American city is an abomination. The Founding Fathers did not live and die to see that happen in this country for no reason whatsoever than vanity."

The Senate bill aims to effectively end all civil rights lawsuits against the federal government except by entities rich enough to potentially pay million/billions in fees. I am not making this up.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

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."

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

Everything Scott Bessent said today was wrong. Our GDP growth has slowed, job numbers are down, and the big beautiful bill will raise the deficit by trillions. We are worse off today than we were last year, and while Bessent says it’s a distraction, Americans don’t just see—they feel—the truth.

"Padilla says it’s false to suggest nobody knew who he was, even before the melee erupted, because a member of the National Guard and an FBI agent escorted him into Noem’s press conference from elsewhere in the building in the first place"

ICE crossed a line in LA

It’s outrageous to suspend @terrymoranabc.bsky.social. More capitulation by ABC…

Breaking: ABC News says senior national correspondent Terry Moran "has been suspended pending further evaluation." This since-deleted tweet is the reason for the suspension:

Yup!

via @acyn.bsky.social @juliettekayyem.bsky.social: "Active duty Marines for this? I mean, we were just reporting on it. There's music. The traffic is moving. Most people in L.A. probably don't even know that this is going on."

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 As you know, SEIU-USWW President David Huerta was assaulted, injured and detained by ICE while advocating for immigrant workers. He remains in custody. 👉 There are now #FreeDavidEndRaids events popping up across the country!! Find an event here: bit.ly/FreeDavidEndRaids Pass it on!

True story…

I’ve read too much science fiction too many dystopian novels and too many poems on civil rights to be quiet…

In a world full of Stephen Millers, be a Terry Moran.

OK everyone, I have entirely rewritten my analysis of the week to reflect the latest from Musk and Trump. It goes out tomorrow to Democracy Docket premium members. You won't want to miss it! newsletters.democracydocket.com/member-meblu...

I miscarried twice…once in a toilet. A 9 week pregnancy is the size of a period clot. I flushed the toilet. Today, I could go to jail for that. Jail. For a wanted pregnancy my body rejected and I took care of by myself.

Horrific.... and how anyone ... gop or dem ...could listen to this and sign is beyond Horrific....but any who vote yes without reading this bill should be impeached!!! www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8M4fELC/

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Best thing I saw today.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen. Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy. She’s lived here 48 years. They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyer—and jailed her. She. Is. A. Citizen.

A glacier partially collapsed in Switzerland, burying the village of Blatten in a huge landslide of ice, rock, and mud after residents had been evacuated. Scientists called the collapse of the glacier “unprecedented” in the Swiss Alps.

B.I.N.G.O!

Phang: These are bright, talented young men and women about to embark on the next stage of their lives. And what they got was a rambling, incoherent, dementia-laden rant. Just pure diarrhea of the mouth from Trump. He has no faculties left that remain uncompromised.

Trump and his MAGA cronies threaten federal judges to cow them into submission. Now Congress fights back. Katie Phang reports on the MARSHALS Act and the need to take back the protection of our judiciary.

Convicted Felon Donald Trump insanely lashes out on Memorial Day. Katie Phang reports on how Americans died for democracy and how we are the American Resistance.

Some more fiery 🔥 bench slapping of the Trump Administration: Judge Brian Murphy DENYING the DOJ’s motion to reconsider his decision that the Trump Admin violated his orders by putting people on a plane to South Sudan.

MAHA is just MAGA in a lab coat. I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts: #WADM

Phang: Pardons and commutations—this is not something that should be driven by political motivations. Does it happen here and there? Of course it does. But is it ever this brazen, this grifty, like it is under Donald Trump? This pardon-palooza is a Trump specialty. It’s disgusting.

JD Vance cheered on Trump today for gutting oversight of cryptocurrencies, while Trump’s family cashes in with meme coins, NFTs, and stable coin. They even killed warnings about crypto in 401(k) retirement accounts! I’m your Shadow Press Secretary and here are the facts:

Meltdown on Truth Social in 3, 2, 1...

This is completely false and not From Liz or me.

Never forget

On Memorial Day, we remember the sacrifices that our men and women in uniform and their families have made to preserve our freedom. May we always strive to honor the strength and resolve they’ve shown our country.
