🚨 Trump's exit from the Iran agreement in 2018 seems to have been a strategic stroke of genius.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

If you took the $1.1 trillion earned by just 100 billionaires last year and mailed every household a check, it'd be $8,700 each. The thing is most billionaires don't actually pay taxes anymore. What the GOP bill is really doing is selling off public lands and cutting Medicare to pay off oligarchs.

Why should we believe these men are actually ICE agents and not J6 criminals, thugs, or human traffickers? I want to hear directly from immigrants and citizens who were taken by people like this, hauled off in unmarked cars by masked men with no ID…

📌Trump harrumphed out of the G7 meetings Monday night because he can no longer even pretend to be a valuable contributor. He needs his naps, and a regular diaper change. 📌He’s 79 going on 100, is hated by most of the world, knows he’s losing, and now must publicly carry out his four-year sentence.

A traffic stop is causing outrage, after a young man born and raised on Long Island was pulled over and searched by ICE agents. He said it was simply because he’s Latino. When ICE found out he’s a U.S. citizen, they let him go—without giving an explanation or apology—but the damage was already done.

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Schiff: "One thing that got lost in the horrendous treatment of Alex Padilla today was what Kristi Noem said at that press conference in saying it was necessary to have these troops there to 'liberate the city from the socialists' ... the fact they would use the military that was is unconscionable."

While it will be a shame if climate.gov is deprecated, the site cannot be trusted as a peer-reviewed source of scientific information if it remains live, because the content will be dictated by the Administration. Remember, #AltGov accounts can speak the truth while official fed accounts cannot.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

New in PN: Trump's ludicrously sloppy legal rationale for occupying LA "The problem, as with so many other things in the Trump era, is that he's flouting norms, not just laws. If Trump chooses to read the Insurrection Act absurdly broadly, it’s not clear there is an easy way to stop him."

The legacy press is trying REALLY hard to convince the public that L.A. is on fire to help Trump sell the lie that he "needs" to use the US military. It's all bullshit. This is what L.A. looks like right now. Trump is trying to instigate violence to justify martial law. End of story.
