If your boss tells you to lie to teachers, hide your identity, and steal 1st graders from their schools you have a bad job and an evil boss and you should say no

Telling….

The Republican Party wants you to know it’s important to respect law enforcement.

Yeah, this is way too close to the mark.

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

Another prominent Democrat Pam Bondi arrested w/o presenting to a GJ. Especially egregious here given that complaint just guesses what David Huerta is communicating on his phone. This is literally, "he was texting on his phone so entered into a conspiracy." www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Never stop saying this.

something that started with signalgate and continues here is that trump clearly does not understand (can't/won't is a different q) that he is actually in charge. like, "tom" (homan) does not get to make that decision, you do, you're the president

The situation in DTLA to which 700 Marines have been deployed is a couple dozen interfaith clergypersons leading a small crowd in prayer.

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

Q: What crimes has Gavin Newsom committed? TRUMP: I think his primary crime is running for governor, because he's done such a bad job

Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."

90.9% to 9.1% The severity of this stomping (of Attorney General Pam Bondi's brother) pleases me

Trump: "This is a statement from the President of the United States concerning the catastrophic Gavin Newscum inspired Riots going on in Los Angeles ... IF THEY SPIT, WE WILL HIT, and I promise you they will be hit harder than they have ever been hit before. Such disrespect will not be tolerated!"

Canada, the UK, and Ukraine all at once — after a Canuk enlargement, the EU would be the global economic powerhouse. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

the Uber CEO tells Trump his company supports the MAGA reconciliation bill (that will strip millions of healthcare and food support)

The bottom line on the Trump-Musk feud www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

The entire modern conservative movement’s existence and future depends upon the base being kept inside a hermetically-sealed cable and social media bubble, so that they can tell them demonstrable lies about the real world. Tell them up is down, hot is cold, black is white, and be *believed*.

"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great" -- Trump endorses the arrest of Gov. Gavin Newsom

Growing acceptance that China — thanks to its stash of critical minerals — has “‘escalation dominance,’ the power to escalate or de-escalate according to its goals.” 🇨🇳 @axios.com @adamposen.bsky.social www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

Trump: "The people that are causing the problem are professional agitators, they're insurrectionists, they're bad people. They should in jail. Thank you."

Welcome to America, where protesting illegal kidnappings without due process is an insurrection, but attacking the nation’s Capitol is not.

Murphy: "Everything that's happened in the last 7 days - the fight w/ Musk & now the deployment of the National Guard - is probably also a distraction from the main story, which is that Trump is trying to pass probably the most unpopular piece of legislation he will attempt to move through Congress"

Homan recently said Newsom hasn't done anything yet to warrant arrest and Trump making it clear he wants his political opponents jailed.

You can fit a lot in the trunk of Aptera. 🏄🛹

Law enforcement injure at least 4 journalists covering protests in California amid federal crackdown cpj.org/2025/06/law-...

Did you know that when Pam Bondi said "We presented El Salvador with an arrest warrant and they agreed to return him," she was admitting she failed to follow the extradition process, proving he could have been returned at any time? My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/abrego-gar...

Dozens of journalists were assaulted by law enforcement in Los Angeles this weekend. The press were just doing their job -- a sacred one explicitly protected by law. Press rights orgs will follow up collectively tomorrow. Tonight, I emailed evidence to local/state/federal officials. My sign off:

Say it with me…we are cutting programs from college aid to food security to healthcare. Why? To pay for tax cuts for billionaires.

"I voted for lawless, anonymous, masked, and unchecked police" is one hell of a jump from "eggs cost too much."

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

When I hear Trump voters saying this is not what they voted for…

🚨BREAKING: 300+ NIH employees call out the harm of censorship & politicized science in scathing email to Bhattacharya, demanding an end to political interference, a lift on funding freezes, & rehiring of fired staff whose work saves lives. This is historic - insiders are blowing the whistle. 🧵(1/5)

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard? One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended. Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

Newsom addresses Trump directly: "Where's your decency, Mr President? Stop ... it's immoral. You're creating the conditions that you claim you're solving."

Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."

Democrats should share videos of the January 6th insurrection and Trump pardoning all of them throughout this week.
