[He’s adopted not only the signifiers of dictator chic but the actual articles of its faith,” said @therickwilson.bsky.social , a political strategist and co-founder of the @lincolnproject.us , an anti-Trump group. “North Korea: military parades. China: military parades. Russia: military parades.”]

In a new letter that’s gotten almost zero media attention, six House Republicans openly called on the ICE Director to redirect deportation resources toward “convicted criminal aliens.” The opposite of what the Trump administration is actually doing. https://trib.al/JRgYx0F

I just met with Education Secretary Linda McMahon, and I gave her over 1,000 letters from people across the country who are worried about what she's doing to the Department of Education.

THIS JUST IN: Education Secretary Linda McMahon admitted to me she can’t legally dismantle the Education Department without Congress. Also, she pledged that people struggling with student loans won’t lose their Social Security checks. It matters when we fight back.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Newsom: "This is what he does. He creates a problem and then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel movie ... he initiated those raids. He significantly increased the scale and scope of those raids. That's why he wants the National Guard."

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Of course we first go where we can serve millennia old stereotypes. And we do that before we have consulted ethics. And democracy.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

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."

I repeat, dog murderer adulterer Kristi Noem is banned by all 9 Native American tribes in South Dakota from visiting their lands, her only agenda has always been white supremacy and cruelty. She’s as evil and hateful as she is stupid.

"U.S. to cut weapons procurement budget for Ukraine, Pentagon chief says" Let this sink in: 1. Trump supports Putin & his war of aggression in Ukraine. 2. Trump will in no way help Ukraine. 3. Trump covers his back against GOP supporters of Ukraine. meduza.io/en/news/2025...
