'Early warning sign' as unemployment filings inch toward dangerous 'threshold': economists www.alternet.org/economy/unem...

Democrats had an Iran deal that was working. Republicans and trump destroyed it. Netanyahu doesn't respect trump & it shows. trump is weak, putin knows this... trump is weak, Netanyahu knows this... VP Harris voters knew this, too.

This is so important it hurts. This is the tiny area of a massive sprawling city that Trump is attacking and the entire propaganda machine is churning to make us believe more is happening. Don’t fall for the lies.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but scheduled protests are not an emergency. fox4kc.com/news/missour...

I’m not sure USA has ever faced such a moment. Wholly unprepared to deal with calamity on the world stage. We have a Putin ass-kisser at Sec of State, a drunk at Pentagon and a dipshit asshole sitting in the Oval Office Adderall tweeting. He pulled out of Iran deal, lethal moron.

Israel's attack on Iran, clearly intended to scuttle the Trump Administration's negotiations with Tehran, is further evidence of how little respect world powers - including our own allies - have for President Trump.

Shut the Senate down, Democrats. Object to every unanimous consent. Throw your bodies in the way. No fucking post office names, no fucking bullshit bills, nothing until Republicans condemn what happened to Padilla and move to hold Noem accountable.

Look at Trump’s Truth Social post. Consider his call with Newsom. He is incoherent, insane. Failure of corporate press to say that every day as he is taking us down the road to a police state is the gravest journalistic malpractice in American history. They will never redeem themselves.

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

Reuters: JUDGE ORDERS CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD RETURNED TO GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM'S CONTROL - COURT RULING

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.

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

MSNBC with a great speed debunk of DHSs justifications for tackling and handcuffing Sen. Padilla. Padilla is the top Dem on the Senate Judiciary immigration subcommittee -- there's no way Noem (who meets regularly with senators on this topic) didn't know who he is.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla. This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.

Hi. Noem stated that republicans were going to take over California’s duly elected government. That’s actually a big part of the fascist story.

Yesterday, I met with a 12 year old boy in Oxnard, CA. His mom and dad have been fieldworkers for over 20 years. ICE agents snatched his parents from the fields and left this boy alone with no clue when he’ll see them again. A 6th grader.

A few key points: - Senator Padilla is the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, and Border Safety - He identified himself as a Senator - Right before this happened Noem literally said she was there to liberate Los Angeles from its elected leadership

Booker: He was made to kneel before the authority of the executive… They treated a member of the United States senate violently after he identified himself, dragged him out of a room, threw him upon the ground, and put him in handcuffs

It’s not illegal for a United States Senator to go to a public press conference and ask questions about your constituents safety. It's our job.

The state of California needs to arrest the DHS "security" forces for assault and every Democrat in the U.S. Senate needs to sign onto a campaign to impeach Kristi Noem. Right fucking now.

The cops that behaved like Nazi thugs should resign like Noem … all trash.

🚨HAVE YOU CALLED OR EMAILED YOUR REPS TODAY? ☎️202-224-3121 Imagine if EVERYONE horrified by the footage of Trump's fascist goons assaulting Sen. Padilla called/emailed TODAY? And if you say it doesn't matter, that's self-fulfilling. Please be in action TODAY and please protest SATURDAY. #NoKings

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

Noem, the puppy-killer with too much filler should resign.

Kristi Noem should resign in disgrace.

Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)

"[Troops] have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Really important story - army officials asked soldiers to identify themselves if they don't agree with Trump's politics that way he'd get only supportive soldiers in uniform during his political rally on base. Heavier soldiers were also barred from participating.

Nearly every media request I’ve gotten lately has been about the DNC Vice Chair fight. They don’t print me when instead I talk about the 10M Americans who are about to lose their healthcare. Can we please go back to focusing on what matters now?

We must come together in solidarity!!! ✊🏻✊🏾✊🏿

It’s completely insane that US troops are illegally deployed to suppress domestic opposition and it’s not uniformly condemned by the press and political elite.

This is dictator shit right here. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

So this is why they were cheering so much for Trump. www.military.com/daily-news/2...

A well educated, intelligent, skilled, kind, hard working Mayor! Boston mayor Michelle Wu announced Tuesday that she signed an executive order seeking greater transparency from the federal immigration officials

Former ABC News correspondent and anchor Terry Moran has joined Substack. He says he can’t wait to “get at the important work that we all have to do at a time of such trouble in our country.” bit.ly/3HAX77o

You may have seen clips of this speech, but if you haven't yet, you really ought to watch the entire thing and then share it with everyone you know! www.youtube.com/watch?v=8slq...

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

An update from Los Angeles….Peaceful Protest We wouldn’t be surprised if some of the Jan 6ers who joined ICE are working as agitators to help Trump have excuses to abuse his power‼️

Russia has abducted thousands of Ukrainian children, plunging families into every parent's worst nightmare. Now, Trump funding cuts threaten to close a Yale center that helps identify these children and bring them home. Please consider donating to help continue this work: sph.yale.edu/give-hrl

This week's sermon from 'Prophet' MVP Kamala Harris.... I mean she spelled it OUT. LAST YEAR. NAILED IT. #Butherlaugh

So the soldiers were picked because of their allegiance to Trump and how they looked. This is his plan people get used to it, politicizing the military.

This is so spot on, and coming from the widow of a service member:
