No one is a bigger expert on Medicare fraud than Rick Scott.

"In your last conversation with Trump, what did he say?" @gavinnewsom.bsky.social: "He never brought up the National Guard. Stone cold liar. Said he did. Stone cold liar. Never did. Didn't even really want to talk about LA."

This is appalling. We are stepping over "the brink" of fascist dictatorship if we don't resist. The Atlantic is becoming a parody of itself

The White House definitely made sure everyone saw the Terry Moran post.

Imagine if the United States were as eager to spend millions to clear the streets of the homeless by getting them into shelters and housing as it is to clear the streets of peaceful protesters by getting them into militarized squad cars and hospitals.

Obviously the preferred social media platform is one with lots of ads, Nazis, and ads aimed at Nazis.

"They had Mexican flags!!! People should only be allowed to to have the Stars and Stripes, not flags of a countries we were once at war with!!! They should be arrested for this!!!"

Why can’t the people who use social media for venting, for organizing, for sanity checks get out of their bubble to interact with those that use it to mock, to attack, to wallow in hate?

To anyone who wondered, what could go wrong if we elected as president a highly volatile, deeply dishonest, simple-minded cretin with a revenge fetish, the answer is THIS. All of THIS.

Americans say that law and order is whatever the constitution says. MAGA says that law and order is whatever Trump says.

Trump ain’t trying to stop violence. He’s trying to create it. Hold fast, Los Angeles!

Well, threatening to unleash the US military against peaceful Americans in a dystopian flouting of law *has* gotten everyone to stop talking about Donald being on Jeffrey Epstein's list.

If history is any guide, fake emergencies are intended to lead to real crackdowns.

The guy who called a mob to DC to be "wild" to overturn an election might have an interest in inciting violence for his own purposes? Naw, that can't be it.

I read this article and it portrays Frey as the first "cancelled" person of our epoch, a pioneering fact/fiction crossover artist. But what he really comes off as is the prototype of the modern 21st century edgelord/douchebag.

A little late but very well done. Now sue

THIS is what I’m talking about. I hope this letter is followed by legal action. He’s not my favorite, but thanks to @governor.ca.gov for responding to our calls to act.

Definitely need the National Guard to quell this... insurrection of... line dancing?

Ordinary people on both sides of the aisle want the Epstein Files released in their entirety. Elites on both sides of the aisle are praying they never get released.

BREAKING NEWS: a clearly physically impaired Trump struggles to ascend Air Force One big stairs! What are they hiding about the President’s health?

Thoughts and prayers to America's Gestapo, cowering in fear in the face of such violent [checks notes] . . . ur, dancing in the streets.

This...is...not...honest. This pic is from five years ago and not even in Los Angeles. Immoral opportunists like James Woods and Ted Cruz trade on lies to promote other lies.

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Looked to me like Israeli drones sprayed the boat with some white paint-looking substance and then the IDF surrounded it, kidnapped the people on it and cut off their communications with the world. “Diverted” doing a lot of work here

Shocked that all it took was a fascist stunt for Trump to get Elon kissing his ring again.

This is an incredibly stupid way to interpret what happened. Twitter was bought by a fascist with the express purpose of crippling it as a tool for movements. He tweaked let neo-Nazis back on the site, tweaked the algorithm to suppress viewpoints and threw off critics.

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

We are on the road to tyranny but at least we have the best awards show in years

I’m going to say if Gavin Newsom sees a political edge on taking on Trump so forcefully, the ground is shifting.

Authorities have arrested two men in Washington state, who had an arsenal that included dozens of guns, explosives, and body armor. They nearly killed a soldier with a hammer while stealing gear from Joint Base Lewis-McChord. If these were immigrants it'd be front page news. However... 1/2

Real talk. If I'm the Int'l committee for the 2028 LA Olympics or 2026 World Cup, I have 0 desire to subject my athletes to ICE fascism in the USA. Why would any athlete risk their life, safety, & years of hard work to get targeted by ICE for having the wrong complexion or tweeting the wrong tweet?

If you're a New Yorker who follows me—here's my ask of you: 1. Vote @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social for Mayor by Ranking him #1 2. Do Not Rank Cuomo for any reason whatsoever 3. Tell everyone you know to do steps 1 and 2 above Election day is June 24. Early voting on June 14. Spread the word! Let's go!

In a world of Stephen Millers, be *anyone* else.

It is difficult to overstate how much I loathe such selfish dumbasses:

🤔

But, she laughed.
