“There are "USA, USA" chants here and there and brief moments of applause, but the crowd is surprisingly muted. The crowd here appears to be smaller than anticipated. Across Constitution Avenue from the press area, there is a set of largely empty bleachers for special guests and their families.”

The NYT, along with all other national media in the country, is completely fucking worthless. Stop using them. You can’t not will them back to reality while they’re all owned by MAGAts.

Trump has to rig everything, from his birthday to political speeches at military bases. He’s a loser who has to fake support. Tomorrow, go to a #NoKings protest. Show this Administration what democracy looks like and why we refuse to honor a king. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

The number of people booked into immigration detention who have not previously been convicted of a crime has jumped eight-fold since President Donald Trump took office, government data shows, undercutting his anti-crime message. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

The only change I would make to this is instead of allowing Israel to attack he genuinely tried to stop them and failed and has now pivoted to spin it as his plan all along.

Yeah it's really something to see a U.S. senator being hit with the same impossible compliance demands that the cops scream at people before shooting them during a stop

This is the lede. There is a woman on camera in charge of a lot of people with guns. She says they are going to liberate a domestic population center from democratically elected officials and violate too many laws to count in the process. I have zero time for anything else.

We drill into military officers that Members of Congress have Constitutional oversight rights, Members outrank four-stars in protocol, and even Congressional staffers are treated like generals/admirals. To see sworn federal officers manhandle and handcuff a U.S. Senator... I'm still shook up.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

Had some more to say on the "riots" and "invasion" in LA. If it’s a "riot," it’s the police who are rioting. If there’s an “invasion” of LA, it’s the US military that is invading.

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

This is 100% the fault of ICE and the Trump admin, which has deliberately incentivized this behavior with their tactics. Their goal is to encourage white nationalist groups to dress up as ICE to attack minorities, and the increase in lookalike crimes is to them an acceptable byproduct.
