Horrifying. This kind of paperless "grab" cannot go on! Representatives??!!

WE HAVE QUESTIONS… This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they? ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants. How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

@bestese34.bsky.social Terry Moran was fired for calling Stephen Miller “bile” but… Sen. Mike Lee can make a joke about killing a MN speaker and remain in office. Mike Johnson can call for the “tar and feathering” of the California Governor and remain Speaker. Do I have this right?

Thank you, Madam Speaker.

This morning, the Supreme Court confirmed something that’s been evidence for a while: The conservative justices aren’t just “neutral” toward abortion—they’re actively curbing blue states’ ability to protect reproductive autonomy. slate.com/news-and-pol...

I need to say this clearly and for posterity: They are laying the ground work for an Ernst vom Rath moment, where the actions of a single trans person are offered as an excuse for a pogrom to use the full force of government to eliminate trans people as a "national security threat".

This is Tub and Blue. They simply cannot figure out how to get their tennis ball that fell in the pool. Still 12/10 because they really are trying

I am just going to write this down now. Trump will be begged to pardon Vance Boelter because he is being persecuted as a Christian.

I’m just watching this G7 summit, and man, our country is being embarrassed like never before We’ve never had more pathetic leadership than what we’ve got right now A totally unprepared “President” that honestly has no clue what’s going on Other countries are laughing at us You deserve BETTER!

And this is the guy that heads up our military… WTF.. how do we stop the madness 🤬

📌One of the lessons out of this horrific Boelter saga is that a white man impersonating law enforcement can go anywhere and do anything with impunity in gun-crazy America. Which is also why these masked ICE Nazis should scare the living shit out of EVERYBODY. One more example of all this below:

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal." That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

His latest diatribe confirms for me that his pathetic military parade was a massive fail. If it had been successful, he would have at least tried to have it lead on Monday cable news. Instead he is declaring war on blue cities. The military parade was a failure.

Good morning Blue Sky

Trump's new VA rule lets doctors deny care to Democrats, unmarried, immigrants, and more, sparking serious ethics concerns. www.rawstory.com/vet...

Melissa Hortman just days before her tragic assasination

A huge amount of catastrophic policy right now is being driven by the fact that Stephen Miller grew up in Santa Monica and was furious when a life change pushed him into a school district where he had to share a classroom with Hispanic kids he despised. This is his revenge tour.

The cowardice of the Congressional GOP to not put guardrails on the lunatic in the Oval Office - as they are required to by oath - is overwhelming at times.

Facts matter.

the discussion few want to entertain is whether US police are in fact under local civilian control.

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

And yes, this seems to be legit. I'd say that this falls under the heading of... Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Left Coast Strong!!! #TheAlliedForces #LeftCoastStrong

Nothing to see here: just cops on horseback, bicycles, foot, and vehicles harassing a small group of peaceful protesters in a Charleston, South Carolina neighborhood.

Mike Lee is VILE!

when you expect the worst from people like mike lee, you’ll never be disappointed.

How about the first Democratic Senator to call for Mike Lee’s censure gets to be Minority Leader.

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

THREAD: The assassinations in Minnesota highlight a dirty secret hardly ever mentioned in the news: U.S. has 1.1 million private police officers. There is an unprecedented footprint of privately organized violence that is doing all sorts of things most people have no idea about.

When I tell you Los Angeles is an occupied city/county, this is what I mean… Yesterday, ICE agents showed up to a regular Saturday swap meet with armed Marines and a military helicopter overhead, like it’s a fucking war zone.

I said this yesterday. If it was President Harris, it would be wall to wall coverage in every national outlet. Democrats AND the GOP electeds would be on all of the Sunday shows, on socials etc...

I disagree with this assessment. My understanding is that all attendees had already been checked for weapons before coming in, I.e., there was no credible reason to believe he (even unIDd) was a threat. On top of that he is a U.S. Senator OF THAT STATE w direct oversight authority OVER HER AGENCY 1/

When your "strongest ground" turns into quicksand.

This is an egregiously shameful tweet from a US senator

I understand why Democrats are being restrained about this but the right's effort to lie about what happened here is incredibly disrespectful to the victims and requires vociferous pushback. The shooter appears to have been an anti-abortion zealot and a Trump voter. Don't let them avoid this.

Margaret Brennan is fundamentally wrong on the claim that public approval of mass deportations is "so high." It has never been above 60%, and has been below 50% in multiple recent polls. There is no world in which that counts as "so high."

Padilla on Noem: "How does the cabinet secretary not know the senator from California when she steps foot into Los Angeles? She came through the Senate for confirmation."

The NYT played a key role in electing Trump in 2016 via similar story selection practice. From 2017 story re studies showing this: www.salon.com/2017/12/24/i... And NYT similarly played a crucial role in GOP winning 2022 House midterms: www.salon.com/2022/12/10/h...

Anyone who has ever lived in LA county will not be surprised it was the sheriff's department that escalated

Schadenfreude about the parade flopping is a completely appropriate emotion.

Absolutely stunning incompetence that should frighten everyone in these tense times.

The Hortman family helped raise and train dogs to partner with veterans. One of the many reasons we will miss Melissa and Mark.

This pup deserves treats for life!!🦴💙🩵
