Aimed and shot right at her. No doubt whatsoever

Australian Journalist Lauren Tomasi shot by LAPD with rubber bullets live on air.

My statement on what's unfolding in Los Angeles.

DOGE was supposed to save $2T, saved $160B, cost $135B in buyouts, and nuked $323B in tax revenue. So basically, we paid $300B for all that chaos.

"The former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan is leaving the law firm Paul Weiss to join Jenner & Block, defecting from a firm that struck a deal with the Trump administration to sign on instead with one that fought it in court..." www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Zelenskyy: "Trust me, we understand the Russians much better, the mentality of the Russians, than the Americans understand the Russians. I know for sure Putin doesn't want to stop the war."

[At Barnes & Noble] Me: "Do you have a copy of Donald Trump's book on immigration?" Bookstore Clerk: "Fuck off, get out and stay out!" Me: "Yes! That's the one. Do you have it in paperback?"

Gonna be a long fucking four years if you only think about one thing.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Thinking about that time Senators Warren and Blumenthal wrote a letter to Joe Biden asking him for policy to stop Trump from deploying the National Guard against Americans.

If you are National Guard or Active Duty military and you are being ordered to violate the constitutional rights of US citizens then this is the number to the GI Rights Hotline. There is support. You don’t have to go through with it. 877-447-4487

Better late than never

In the legislature, Rep. Conlin and I helped pass universal free breakfast and lunch for all public school students and opened up free pre-K for every 4-year old through the Great Start Readiness Program.

Sometimes you don't need to raise a middle finger - the architecture speaks for you. A favorite pic I snapped in Chicago a few years ago. 😅

For those of us who’ve spend the last 6 months discussing how the Trump would use deportations to create chaos is the Blue states and then use that chaos as an excuse to declare a national emergency and seize total power, things are right on schedule.

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.

If Donald Trump knew Elon was a “big time drug addict”, why did he put him in charge of gutting our entire federal workforce?

NEW: Newly unsealed documents in the Abrego Garcia case show the government playing discovery games in April - when they were investigating the 2022 traffic stop - but refused to disclose their plans. We discuss on tomorrow's UnJustified. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/u...

I’m not going to bore everyone here with Harvard stories (I’m at my 25yr reunion). But: * “They” say it’s the most well attended reunion. * The level of “fuck Trump” here is off the charts. * Even the Republicans I knew in college are like “fuck Trump.”

Tanks, fighting vehicles, and howitzers arrive in Washington, D.C. ahead of next week's military parade. They departed from Texas on June 2.

As a historian of military coups (1/3 of my book #Strongmen is on that subject) this sight unsettles me...

This is how authoritarians behave
