I was 5 years old when Franklin was introduced and Southern white people were freaking out about an integrated COMIC strip. But people my same age make regular claims of “this isn’t the America I know”. It’s not the America you had to navigate. There’s a difference.

We’re not sure who these armed men are! They show up without uniforms, completely masked, refuse to give ID. They drive regular cars and in cases out of state license plates. The vests that they have on look like they’re from Amazon! Are they bounty hunters?! Are they vigilanties?!

Young women are easily the most liberal and Democratic gender*age group in America. But, as always, @nytimes.com would rather report by anecdote than systematically and rigorously examine actual data.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

I think going to war with Iran is a terrible idea, but no one believes this “two weeks” bit. He’s used it a million times before to pretend he might be doing something he’s not. It just makes America look weak and silly.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

I need to clear up a common misconception I hear on this app. Kamala Harris did not "go right" to appeal to Liz and Dick Cheney to get them to campaign for her. republicans went crazy, so Liz and Dick Cheney volunteered to campaign against the crazy. No one went farther right. Except the right.

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?

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

Listen to this great American. This nation is privileged to have a man of this character in the United States Senate. Thank you @padilla.senate.gov. We stand with you.

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

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."
