I’ll tell you what. If you voted for Trump, and now it’s coming back to bite you, I don’t want to hear about how sad you are. I want to know what you’re gonna do about it. Start there.

Democrats have to start talking about immigrants as human beings and part of the American fabric. Do not give an ounce of credence to the whole "invasion" bullshit. Dismiss the "open borders" nonsense.

Seeing the ref working to get the media almost to, "Didn't Padilla kind of ask for it really?" I'm pondering the double standard Democrats must constantly navigate. And as much as I attack their sometimes hapless responses to events, it's rarely conceded as a very real factor in the press.

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction' It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/coup...

"To Mr. Cuomo, I've never had to resign in disgrace. I've never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records." - Zohran just now.

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

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."

Today, CA Senator Alex Padilla exercised his First Amendment right to question DHS Sec. Noem & was viciously manhandled, thrown to the ground, & handcuffed. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. On June 14, Americans must protest the violent, unconstitutional actions of the Trump regime. #nokings

DHS is arguing members of the Secret Service don't know who a U.S. Senator is, that he didn't identify himself (he does in the tape), lunged towards the Noem (not evident on the tape), and somehow all this necessitated him being hauled away, thrown to the ground and cuffed. x.com/DHSgov/statu...

If I had to guess at what Roberts is doing from my most cynical perspective (which is the right perspective to take with Roberts): He's going to load up so the bad decisions all come out at once. Nobody will be able to keep up. He's learned from Trump how to hack the media.
