Call me cautious, but I’m not optimistic about a war run by a reality TV show Commander-in-Chief and his TV talk show chatterbox Secretary of Defense.

Just a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson, the puritanical pixie twit, refused to rule out arresting Governor Newsom. He added that Newsom should be “tarred and feathered,” a form of torture popularized by vigilantes. He is a reckless hypocrite.

It’s a pretty good barometer for our politics that Trump’s most high-profile collaborator, Elon Musk, accused Trump publicly of being a pedophile and called for his impeachment like 5 days ago and everyone appears to have simply shrugged and moved on.

It’s not a surprise that the man who purposely incited a violent attempt to overthrow an American election would now purposely incite violence on the streets of Los Angeles as a justification for military force against American citizens. Not a surprise at all.

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

People of L.A Please protest peacefully no matter how much you are provoked. Otherwise, the violence is all people will talk about rather than the real illegal actions currently happening.

For decades the NRA and other gun nuts told us that their guns were to protect us all from a tyrannical government. So a tyrannical government is here, they are all sitting on their asses, and the people who want gun control have taken to the streets to defy the tyrannical government instead.

So, according to MAGA, setting a parked car on fire warrants the National Guard, but erecting a pop-up gallows with the VP’s name on it does not. Do I have that about right?

To Trump and Republicans, it's “fiscally responsible” to kick millions off Medicaid and SNAP— In order to fund billionaire tax breaks that will add $2.4 TRILLION to the deficit. The big, ugly bill is a total sham. It steals from everyone to give to the few.

On a cold spring morning, we hiked, we shared stories, and we showed up for each other. That’s what democracy looks like. Let’s keep showing up. Let’s meet the moment. I’ll see you on June 14 for #NoKingsDay.

To be in public office right now is to constantly ask yourself: How do I make sure I'm standing on the right side of history? There's a simple answer. The wrong side of history will always tell you to be afraid - the right side of history will always expect you to be brave.

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.

Marjorie, I know the truth confuses you and facts ain’t your strong suit—so let me break it down real slow: George Floyd didn’t die from drugs. He died because Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for 9 minutes. That’s called murder.
