TACO is missing the real bad guys in this drama.

The bigger the deal they make it, the more likely it is to blow up in their MAGA faces and keep her courage on page 1.

What are the odds that backshooter Rick Linton of LAPD has a 3%er tattoo?

Maybe this is why protest are moving to Arlington and leaving TACO with sparse parade.

Newsom is building a good playbook. - respond at once, not next news cycle. - speak plainly and bluntly without dancing behind mild rebuke. The donor class will get over it. - call out the lies bluntly and at once and keep it in the news before it goes stale. - leave them no wiggle room.

Fascism is a big price to pay for making a few inadequate men feel better about themselves.

Mount your horses, call out the hounds!

Where has he been hiding anyway? Under his office couch?

I think it was 15 or so years ago that Ted Olson announced in his blog, “Overlawyred” that he copyrighted the name for RFK, Jr. as “the most irresponsible public figure in America.”

Accurate

ABC News can’t fire California Gov. Gavin Newsom for telling the truth about Stephen Miller.

Ruski spion!

The horror!

destruction of property is not “violence”

The Democratic Party is actually pretty effective under strict institutional norms and rules. They whip votes and submit to leaders despite a big tent and diverse base When the norms and rules don’t apply (like now), the Democratic Party is a deer in the headlights

There’s a reason ICE is raiding hotels in a blue city and not ag facilities in South Dakota.

My mood when it comes to the National Guard and the Marines’ invasion of LA…

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

The “NO SCAPEGOATS” banner combined with the free goat masks for people to grab and wear was particularly on point. #HaliSky #BikeHFX

Simple,

Question. Did democracy cease to function during the Whiskey Rebellion?The Great Railroad Strike of 1877? The May Day Riots? Let me put this another way, can you identify a single point in U.S. history where Americans exclusively expressed themselves in an orderly fashion along acceptable lines?

Thank you for speaking up, Finneas.

But in fairness, did they say they weren’t the ones doing the thieving?

I (occasionally) ride a retired police horse and it's just made me hate the cops more. Horses deserve better.

Touche!

I hear a good cat is a snake’s worst nightmare.

Well put, once again.

And ours, in the long run.

Sure seems like that report would clear this right up. Strange.

Where does Graves live while in session? The ( insert ) police need to discuss his pending traffic violations at once

I just called Congressman Sam Graves‘s office to ask about highway funding and the young man told me I didn’t know understand which district I live in and then hung up on me. Here’s Sam’s Kansas City number if you have any questions about highway funding: 816.792.3976

When they think no one is looking. *Cops damaging their own cars?

The TACOs will have no idea how to cope with a White Sox fan.

He is a swine in support of swine flu.

Who is this guy. Pull him in for leadership.

Unlike the Dem. consulting elite, Newsom understand Patton’s observation: A good plan [vigorously] executed today is better than a perfect plan tomorrow,
