Bret Baier just happened to be dressed and in studio when Trump announced that we were bombing Iran.

Who could have predicted this? A bunch of assholes drunk on perceived power? www.cnn.com/2025/02/04/u...

About time!

Trump announces attack on Iran. No congressional approval. At the hands of the self-proclaimed "anti-war" president.

6/21, Los Angeles: A neighborhood volunteer documenting ICE was stopped by agents in an unmarked car, surrounded, and threatened by masked agents while they filmed him on their phones.

I'm watching the HBO documentary on the Ohio State sexual abuse case that should've come out before the election, and wow. It's gutting and hard to watch, but I wish everyone would. And Jim Jordan is a big fat liar and despicable person. But you all knew that.

A Dem lawmaker and her husband were killed by a guy for their political views and it’s already out of the news.

“You would never know, as The New York Times churns out its usual policy-option thumb-suckers, that the United States is well down the road to dictatorship at home. That is the context in which a war with Iran will occur.”

Melissa Hortman is no longer with us “All because someone decided her voice was too powerful” “Female members regardless of party affiliation are the #1 target for violence, threats, & hate campaigns” For all women watching “We see you We’re going to Keep Showing Up, Louder, Stronger, Together”

Pass the bill!

In Pasadena, protesters ran ICE out of a hotel. The hotel insisted ICE leave. Protesters slashed tires of many of the vehicles and local tow companies refused to assist. /

Federal agents thought they could stay at LA-area hotels. Communities are trying to make sure they can’t. When feds checked into a Pasadena hotel, they didn’t expect 100s of protesters and a day laborers’ band, the tactic that kicked them out is spreading. lapublicpress.org/2025/06/fede...

TEXAS: Stop Waiting For Beto. Become Beto. We all love Beto. The man shows up. He loves Texas. But y’all, we can’t wait around for someone else to save us. We have to save ourselves. We all need to step up. Run for office. Or volunteer to support your candidate.

These are not police. By law, they have to identify. If they won’t—copy their plates, call the actual police and let them know you are witnessing armed police impersonators.

AOC: Being taken is wrong, it is illegal, it is a violation of his First Amendment rights, it is an affront to every American, and we will not allow—and will continue to resist—the politicization and the continued political persecution that ICE is engaged in.

How much you wanna bet that some of these masked “agents” were among the pardoned? I’m going with “highly likely.”

This... 👇

I’m thinking a war with Iran is Trump’s Reichstag. Prepare for martial law.

My one request to New Yorkers if Cuomo wins the election — don’t come crying to everyone in a few months when some horrific shit happens to the entire city as he enriches his donors. You know exactly what you are voting for here. Don’t later pretend you didn’t know.

Sadly, the weak, compliant reporters in the mainstream media won’t stop. After all, they don’t want to lose “access.”

Too many legal pundits who claim to support voting rights did not support our case and indeed criticized it. These critics invariably have no personal experience with inadequate mail service. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/how-...

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son. Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice. From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.

Masked ICE agents spotted swapping out license plates this morning in Bell Gardens, CA

Why did folks stop talking about grocery prices? I just left the store and OMFG…

BREAKING: PLEASE SHARE Christian Stephen, a member of the US military was placed on a 72 hold in a psych facility for posting this video stating that he wants to uphold our Constitution.

No matter where someone was born, the United States should never tolerate inhumane treatment. Yet right now, detainees in ICE custody are facing conditions that are simply unacceptable in any country that claims to uphold human rights, let alone one that prides itself on freedom and the rule of law.

STORY TIME: ICE rolled up. The city of Bell, California said, “Not today!”

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.

What's killing me is we are facing full on autoctacy and outsiders are pouring millions into a campaign to prop up a known sexual harasser whose bad at governance to stop a candidate that can best be described as the kid with the most swagger at band camp

A great bill for Montanan families, vetoed by the Governor. #mtpol #mtleg dailymontanan.com/2025/03/20/b...

aclu_nationwide BREAKING: In a unanimous decision, a federal court of appeals has ruled that Louisiana's law requiring that the Ten Commandments be displayed in all public school classrooms is unconstitutional. We’ll keep saying it: Public schools are not Sunday schools.

There was a time when a U.S. president targeting LGBTQ+ lives by cutting suicide hotlines would've sparked all-out war from Democratic leadership. Outrage...action...accountability. Like I said—there was a time.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

#PSA IF YOU NEED HELP REACH OUT. I NEVER CHARGE TO HELP ANYONE WITH SUICIDAL IDEATION. OR CALL THE NUMBER BELOW.

Thoughts?

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS. How? Make the wealthiest Americans pay a fairer share. I’ve got a bill to get it done.

A document the Department of Health and Human Services distributed to members of Congress to justify recent changes to COVID-19 vaccine recommendations misrepresented scientific research to make unfounded claims about vaccine safety for pregnant people and children.

You know what’s more American than installing 88 foot flag poles at the White House? Following the Constitution.

We’re being ruled by a president who openly admits he doesn’t like to read. He prefers bullet points over self-reflection or real analysis. A man unwilling to engage with the complexity of consequences is making decisions that will shape and damage our future for decades.
