Padilla: I was forced to the ground, first on my knees and then flat on my chest. And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway repeatedly asking, why am I being detained? Not once did they tell me why. I pray you never have a moment like this

What a horrible loophole, that this guy can legally take away your visa without reason or warning and then you get kidnapped on the street by men in hoodies and women who use a preschool teacher voice to tell you to calm down while you're forced into the back of a van

One of the saddest, most telling qualities of the leading MAGGATS is their utter lack of easy, kind, embracing joy. Even when they display something resembling happiness or glee, the rage, dissatisfaction, smugness, meanness always comes through.

I experienced democracy for the better part of 58 years. You know what I'm talking about, even if the years differ. We are watching it be knocked down like a child's Lego "Castle" creation that encounters a "hurry up" act of vacuuming the carpet by a mom or dad running late for an appointment.

Beshear: When I vetoed the nastiest anti-LGBTQ+ bill during my election year, I explained why I did it. My faith teaches me that all children are children of God. I wanted those children, who were being hated on, to know their governor cares for them… my faith tells me that’s my job

Canada is strong. Together with our allies, we are even stronger. Good to meet with you in France, President Macron. The friendship between our two countries is the envy of the world.

Just so we’re all clear, the Supreme Court expressly ruled that the president cannot fire FTC commissioners without cause in 1935’s Humphrey’s Executor. Trump’s action here is brazenly illegal under any interpretation of the law as it stands. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Hi, I'm the guy who used to oversee the federal government's agency IT telecommunications contracts. This is extremely bad. There is absolutely no need for this. Not only is it a huge security exposure, but the simplest explanation for this is that it is meant to be a security exposure.

Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Listen, if they really cared about girl’s sports, they would make sure that girls have the same access as boys to funding. Or facilities. Or coaches. Or uniforms. Or bus budgets. They don’t care about girl’s sports. They care about punching down on a minuscule number of trans athletes.

Merrick Garland is not to blame for Trump’s return to power. The blame belongs with Mitch McConnell and SCOTUS for failing to serve as a check on abuse of power. My thoughts in The Contrarian.
