Remember, this new normal -- in which gangs of masked armed gunmen are causing chaos in the streets, pulling weapons and assaulting innocent people, and no one can say if they're crooks or cops -- was all sold to Americans as a way to make us feel safer.

Bombshell allegations by a DOJ whistleblower: Emil Bove—whom Trump has nominated to a federal appeals court—lied to courts and willfully defied their orders, then illegally fired the lawyers who tried to tell the truth in court. A massively damning document. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Waiting for news outlets and reporters to acknowledge that maybe, just maybe, reporting Trump's social media posts on foreign policy without confirmation is deeply irresponsible and an embarrassing failure of journalism.

Conservatives went from "free speech radicals" to "authoritarian review of people's social media accounts" in all of 6 months. They want to be able to lie & spread propaganda with impunity - while limiting dissent. Just like every other pathetic, thin-skinned dictator. apnews.com/article/stud...

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Over 75% of folks in ICE custody this year had no criminal record beyond immigration or traffic issues. Less than 10% had serious convictions. Fear sells, but facts matter. #ImmigrationTruth

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

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

Forcing people to work for no pay is very on brand for the president. The thousands of National Guardsmen President Trump sent to Los Angeles in an authoritarian power play are working for free. https://trib.al/QeaTX40

DISGUSTING. Talk about lawlessness, looting, and violence. People are now impersonating ICE to harm and rob innocent small business owners. This is what happens when you have traitors running this country and condoning and inciting violence with zero regard for the law. 6abc.com/amp/post/wom...
