Defund every one of these specific cops. Remove them from their jobs. Melt down their weapons. Hire social workers and mental health outreach people with the money you save.

“This year’s mayoral race has so far been a strange, frustrating exercise,” Eric Lach writes. The Democratic primary, usually definitive, is looking like a race between Andrew Cuomo and Zohran Mamdani—neither of whom is guaranteed to win in November.

Gavin Newsom appears to be playing Trump well, clarifying that the toddler is naked & barely can speak. Suddenly, Newsom has surged as the leader of the democratic party.

Instead of protecting and defending the country, Trump has unleashed the military to terrorize Americans and march for his birthday. Congrats, Republicans. This is what you've enabled.

Donald Trump doesn't care about law enforcement. He cares about power. It's why he's deploying military personnel to Los Angeles. And it's why he pardoned the violent criminals who attacked Capitol Police on January 6th.

Don't let it get lost in your (justifiable) outrage the reprehensible treatment of Senator @padilla.senate.gov; He was attempting to speak out against DHS's statement saying they're in LA to "liberate this city from...leadership" They're talking about duly elected officials! This is a coup attempt!

It's a backboard-shattering slam dunk for whichever Democrat going on Meet the Press on Sunday to ask Kristen Welker why NBC News didn't say the video contradicts the White House in this headline. Holding the media accountable publicly has to be the responsibility of the party opposing fascism

This is a watershed moment. Senator Padilla getting thrown to the ground and handcuffed. Trump admitting his mass deportations are targeting hard-working people that are contributing vitally to the US economy. Trump sending troops into a US city that even local law enforcement didn't ask for. 1/

If Pete Hegseth recommended mobilizing the National Guard, he needs to resign now. The job is too big for him. I'm concerned that these actions can come right here to Dalton, West Rome, Cedartown, and all the other small towns across Georgia.
