A federal judge ruled that Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia should be released while awaiting trial. 100% agree.

(🚨) BREAKING: Exactly as happened in early 2020 after Trump illegally assassinated the second-most-popular man in Iran—and therefore as Trump could easily have predicted and as major media should already have forecast for all Americans—Iran has just launched missiles at multiple U.S. military bases.

It’s not just that the President of the United States has announced on social media that the US has bombed Iran, it’s that the President of the United States bombed Iran so that he could announce it on social media.

Donald Trump is not willing to get involved in something where he can't lie about the outcome.

So unemployment up. Jobless claims up. Inflation up. GDP down. Dollar plummeting. More wars abroad. Soldiers on the streets at home. By every objective metric, this administration is a disaster.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

The United States has sent a 79-year-old man with a limited vocabulary, whose face is painted in orange pigment and hair is I-Don't-Know-What to speak to America's interests at the G-7. He will do so in incomplete or broken sentences. He will then report back as to who liked him and who he liked.

Utah voters: Are these really your values? Mike Lee is the best you can do?

Couple things I learned today: - Seniors are extremely fired up about this - "Fuck ICE" is a normie position now - People are MASSIVELY pissed off about Sen. Padilla being wrestled to the ground in LA - We all we got, we all we need

It was only a matter of time. The political assassination in Minnesota is a direct result of the violent rhetoric used by Trump and the seeds of hatred he has sown.

In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.

In just one week: A GOP president deployed Marines in a U.S. city, called for a Democratic governor’s arrest, the GOP Speaker called for him to be tarred and feathered, a Democratic senator was handcuffed, and two Democratic legislators were shot in their homes.

It’s not hyperbole to say that the deaths in Minnesota are on the GOP’s hands. They’ve built this political environment and they’ve allowed a demagogue to spread hate. This is entirely on them.

If you are out at a No Kings Day protest send your photos and videos! Also I will be covering the day from 9-11pm tonight on MSNBC. So share all your stories.

What happened in Minnesota is a direct consequence of the violent way that Trump talks about his political opponents.

DIRECT

When Trump talks about ending "sanctuary" policies, what he really means is forcing local police to be deputized to help enforce immigration violations (which to be clear are civil and not criminal matters), instead of say prioritizing stopping Armenian gang wars. www.latimes.com/california/s...

Apparently this needs to be said. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it. Iran was complying with the JCPOA until Trump abandoned it.

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

I suspect in the days ahead we will hear a large number of people saying publicly what no one has been saying publicly. I suspect everyone reading this knows what I am referring to. A POTUS who falsely accuses Democratic leaders of paying for a military invasion of the United States is a madman.

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

ABC obeys in advance. Cowards made the decision to suspend Terry Moran after the White House cried about his 100% accurate post. Stephen Miller doesn’t even have bellhop status. They just allow him to think he does.

ATTN: If you’re a member of the National Guard or you work for ICE and you’re asked to violate the law or your oath, contact Whistleblower Aid to safely, securely, and legally blow the whistle. You can support Whistleblower Aid HERE: whistlebloweraid.org/beans

What we’re seeing in L.A. isn’t an insurrection—so why federalize the National Guard? Why the threat of using the U.S. military against civilians? We’re not there yet—but we’re closer than we think. Watch this Project 2025 reminder until the end. Then view everything happening through that lens.

Remember when Trump did this on J6 at the Capitol? No, because he didn’t.

ICYMI — ICE DIRECTOR: “These are real people with real families you’re hurting.” He says this not about immigrants… but about ICE agents. A record-setting lack of self-awareness.

Typical projection tactic!
