I get that these guys have no shame, but that doesn’t mean we should give them a pass for it. Shame on Johnson and shame on the Republican Party that won’t call this out even though they know it’s wrong.

Netanyahu just started a war with Iran and Russia is bombing the hell out of Ukraine. To think there are those who believed he'd be fixing all that on day one is an exercise in tolerance for stupidity for the rest of us.

We really do need to come up with a term for “government by liars” “Kakistocracy” isn’t right because it conveys ineptitude, venality, and corruption and maybe dishonesty. But I want something dishonesty specific. Since that is the go-to from the president to virtually every cabinet member.

Resist means resist. It means you don’t go to his White House picnic. It means you don’t attend any of his speeches. It means you don’t work with him on any legislation. If you truly believe he’s a fascist threat to America, you oppose him at EVERY turn. Resist means resist.

Do not psych yourself out of going to #NoKings Day because of scary-sounding viral content. That’s not the vibe. This is a mass demonstration designed to be big, safe, and accessible. I can't wait to see you all out there. ♡

A staffer for Sen. Padilla filmed the shocking event of his expulsion from Kristi Noem's press briefing. One of the federal agents turned to the staff member filming and actually said: “There’s no recording allowed out here, per FBI rights.” www.latimes.com/california/s...

"Your timely reminder that Obama negotiated a great deal with Iran (JCPOA) which had halted its nuclear program in its tracks. Trump ENDED that deal in 2018. Iran then resumed enriching Uranium, and now, here we are, with another preventable war on our hands." Mikel Jollett

It appears that we are actively and directly involved in a major conflict between Israel and Iran which is rapidly escalating and the only thing we have heard from the admin is an obviously false denial from the Sec of State and a Truth Social post from the president about peace talks.

I encourage people protesting to be non destructive and non violent. And I remind: Proud Boys like infiltrating crowds, whipping up normies (this is what happened on 1.6) and creating chaos. Putting you, using your 1a, in peril. Distinguish yourself from these goons always. Heads on swivels, folks.

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.

Today, CA Senator Alex Padilla exercised his First Amendment right to question DHS Sec. Noem & was viciously manhandled, thrown to the ground, & handcuffed. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment. On June 14, Americans must protest the violent, unconstitutional actions of the Trump regime. #nokings

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

Trump announced tariff taxes on Chinese goods are going to 55% and the U.S. will get magnets and rare earth minerals from China in a deal. When Joe Biden was president we got magnets and rare earth WITHOUT paying a 55% tax on everything we bought from China. Trump strategy: talk big - cave fast.

If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

Senator dared to question the Empire, directly, and was met with force. Stormtroopers didn’t hesitate. They grabbed him, cuffed him, dragged him away like a dissident, claiming he “failed to identify himself.” But everyone knew who he was. He was a Senator.

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."
