NO ONE is above the law unless MERRICK GARLAND is Attorney General.

I think all they’ve really managed to do this week is encourage more people to turn out for the No Kings protests. Being underwater on every issue before July is pretty impressive.

Good thing we had real estate investor Steve Witkoff negotiating deals with Russia and Iran.

L.A. district attorney should charge those morons that manhandled a US Senator 💯

😕

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

New Quinnipiac poll: Trump’s approval: Disapprove: 54% Approve: 38% Trump’s “big, beautiful” bill: 53% oppose 27% support Handling of immigration: 54% disapprove 43% approve

Awful: News orgs are credulously amplifying the ugly idea that sending troops into LA is good politics for Trump. This gives his lawless abuses of power the aura of conventional politics, obscuring how extraordinary and dangerous this moment truly is. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/1966...

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Zohran is up. Keep going.

🚨ATT: PROTESTERS🚨 Fly your American Flags at the protests 🇺🇸 Remind the military they are fighting against their brothers and sisters 🏠 We are not the enemy ✋🏻 Fight with us, not against us ✌🏻 We are one 🙏🏻 #SheShed #HonorYourOath #CountryOverParty

Welcome to the World Cup in Donald Trump’s America!

The head of ICE enforcement and removal HAS RESIGNED rather than sanction the unethical demands of the administration.

Sen. @chrismurphyct.bsky.social : “Trump is not telling the truth. Local officials can handle this… we have to point out the danger of what he’s doing in LA while also keeping our eye on the ball as he pushes an unpopular bill that will transform our economy and ruin a lot of lives.”

I’m begging politicians to stop saying “Let me be clear” at the beginning of every statement. “At the end of the day” can go too.

💥 Homeland Security issue poster to report "foreign invaders" Doubling down on Trump's Fort Bragg inflammatory rhetoric over the anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles Artist Lalo Alcaraz: “It’s disgusting that they are turning this image of the nation into an anti-immigrant spokesperson” 💥

This was delicious. He’s going to be obsessed for days about this.

An underappreciated aspect of the generally repressive political climate is that it emboldens the worst people to believe that state power will back them up in their pettiest grudges. That's how you get to neighbors who snitch to the secret police - it's toxic to social cohesion at the atomic level.

This simpleminded clown has obviously been told that the "Golden Dome System," he already announced, can't happen without Canada's cooperation, a country that he has given thousands of reasons to loathe him. Donald is smart that way.

The orange felon pardoned corrupt Virginia Sheriff Scott Jenkins who was convicted of bribery and fraud, now he pardoned Todd and Julie Chrisley who defrauded banks. Because nothing says law and order like a felon gifting pardons to other felons for their loyalty. Pure fascism.

Stop being surprised when the scorpion stings you.

In the spirit of MAGA, Trump’s chef harkens back to a time when white people seized control of the world’s spices, but didn’t use them.

I would be making a big deal out of this if I were an elected Democrat

All members of the American military take an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. And that is what we are required to do.

Go on anf yell at me for being stupid. I deserve it. I went on Twitter and demanded MAGA answer why it's okay for Trump to golf instead of honoring fallen soldiers. I did get responses, all which called me a "cunt". I guess I should've seen than coming. Duh

A reminder of what Trump inherited from Biden.

One man was parenting a special needs kid and we sent him to a gulag. The other doesn't even know if a kid is his and is just sending checks to the baby mama. We made him Shadow President. A tale of two men in America. @jvl.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/a-tale-of-...

Kill a white millionaire, get the death penalty. Kill two black protesters, get invited to CPAC to be celebrated.

DEMOCRATS: If you are in Florida or Wisconsin, don't stay home today. REPUBLICANS: If you are in Florida or Wisconsin, I hear the weather will be lovely for voting tomorrow. 😎

That's the way to put it that I couldn't think of. Perfection.
