They wanted max cruelty. Shock and awe for the cameras. But all they did was traumatize a bunch of poor kids who’ll never forget it. An L.A. mom, US citizen, watched as unmarked vehicles rolled up. Masked, heavily armed ICE agents, guns drawn. And Cosplay Kristi Noem right there playing warlord!

Netanyahu’s illegal unilateral attack on Iran risks a full-blown war. These strikes directly undermine the U.S. diplomatic efforts to address Iran’s nuclear program. Talks were planned for Sunday, but Netanyahu chose to attack. We must not be dragged into another Netanyahu war.

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Trump’s talking like Netanyahu is his foot soldier. Like he’s calling the shots in Israel. Newsflash: Bibi isn’t reporting to Mar-a-Lago. Save the fake God Bless Yous. We know what’s up.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Senator Padilla was just violently removed from Kristi Noem’s press conference on ICE thuggery in LA. Just another day in 1930’s Germany. Oh I’m sorry, I’m being told this is 2025 America.

Deploying the tools of war inside our own country to suppress constitutionally protected expression and assembly is dangerous and un-American. The president’s order must be rescinded now. Read more from ACLU of MA attorney and veteran Dan McFadden: commonwealthbeacon.org/opinion/trum...

The most inspiring chapters in our nation's history came when Americans faced down some of our country's darkest demons. Those moments, like our own, were difficult to live through but also brought the chance to bring out the best in us, with enduring consequences.

NEW from me: Democrats have spent the last few months talking about standing up to Trump. Newsom is the first faced with figuring out what standing up actually looks like. How he navigates will reverberate far beyond California, and long after this week. www.cnn.com/2025/06/11/p...

My father, uncle, and father-in-law were US Marines who fought fascist overreach in the South Pacific in World War 2. I know if they were alive today, they would object to sending Marines to enable fascist overreach in Los Angeles by Trump, Miller, Hegseth, Noem, and Homan today. Semper Fi.
