Horrifying news out of Minnesota this morning as political violence takes the lives of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark. @Chasten and I are holding their loved ones in our hearts and praying for State Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette as they recover.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

PADILLA: “If this is how the administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, cooks, and day laborers throughout the country.”

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."  -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Don't let them lie to you about Senator Padilla. DHS is claiming the agents DID NOT KNOW he was a senator. He CLEARLY says (BEFORE he is tackled and cuffed) "I am Senator Alex Padilla and I have a question for the secretary."

As a four-decade veteran of the daily journalism business, let me tell you: Every competent political reporter in this country knows that Trump is trying to establish a dictatorship. The industry's shame is that so few journalists will say so, and the ones who do lose their jobs.

We are marching to Senator Thune’s office. There must be accountability for the detainment of a Senator. This is not normal.

1. Trump's tax cuts overwhelmingly help the rich 2. His spending cuts are targeted at the poor 3. Tariffs cost the poor a larger share of their income Roll these three regressive policies together and you get the largest redistribution from poor to rich in American history. The anti-Robin Hood.

This all comes down to policy choices. Do we want a nation with policies rooted in cruelty and punishment? Or do we want a nation with policies rooted in kindness and compassion? This is the choice before us.

They gutted social programs, shut down factories, outsourced jobs, and left entire towns to rot, and then they militarized the cops, constructed a bunch of private prisons, and built Cop Cities to crush any resistance, but they want us to blame immigrants for the way things are?

Even the LAPD chief says it—National Guard is NOT needed in LA. This is a peaceful protest, not a war zone. Sending troops is political theater, not public safety.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

Guys, Trump's gonna un-preserve federal land so he can drill more, and probably build condos there or whatever. And since it's a DOJ memo that says this, that makes it binding federal policy until the end of time, as we learned in the "presidents can't be charged with a crime" fiasco. [gift link]

The important fact in this report is the one that never appears: Elon Musk is the largest Republican mega-donor in the history of the United States by a factor of ten. The moment you understand that, you understand the Republicans will let him do whatever the hell he wants, even if it kills people.
