It’s not a game, dipshit.

There’s the Kristi Noem version—then there’s the truth. WATCH: Sen. Alex Padilla’s first interview since he was forced out of a federal building press conference… for daring to ask questions.

Military troops have no place on our streets or in our communities.

I’ve become convinced that the Atlantic is going to supplant the Washington Post as the major national alternative to the NYT.

The Dems are not built for this moment

Not for nothing but this shit right here is the biggest sell ever for Bluesky. X and Meta are,well, lol, and our corporate news overlords are also in the business spreading misinformation so I dunno man seems like it's good this thing exists

🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Gavin Newsom announces Donald Trump has LOST and the National Guard will be back under Newsom’s command at noon tomorrow. Donald Trump has been ordered to stand down.

Yesterday, Gavin Newsom met with a 12 year-old boy in Oxnard, California, whose parents were kidnapped out of the field they were working in. They had been fieldworkers in America for over 20 years, and this poor child doesn’t know where they are, or if he’s ever going to see them again.😭💔

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

The orange convicted felon and his racist birther trash rent-a-spouse Melania were recently heckled and booed at the Kennedy Center whilst attending ‘Les Miserables’ with people shouting “FELON” and “CONVICTED FELON.” Good, love it, he needs to be in prison, not watching plays.

If the Stephen Miller freakshow is too much even for Ron Johnson (!) it’s probably worth confronting Republicans with the ugly truth: they aren’t being bullied into supporting “the MAGA agenda.” They’re being bullied into helping a sadistic degenerate get his fix. www.offmessage.net/p/the-greedy...

Newsom on Trump's military parade: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, you see it with Putin, you see it with dictators around the world that are weak ... Weakness masquerading as strength ... that's about as small as it gets ... that's Donald Trump."

BREAKING: Federal Judge Blocks Trump’s California Military Seizure, Rules His Actions Were “Illegal” and “Unconstitutional” From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

BREAKING: Judge Breyer orders Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California, saying the call-up was illegal. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Crockett: I know that there’s been some conversations about what’s going on in LA and they want to say that it’s riots because they didn’t want people to keep talking about the Epstein files

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

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.

Exactly right. The assault on a senator was a crime but Noem’s “liberation” comments were actually even worse.

“What Senator Alex Padilla did today was political theater.” --Kristi Noem, the Head of Costuming, Hair, and Makeup at Political Theater

Senate and House Democrats are responding to assault on Alex Padilla with lame ass fundraising emails - and I feel like I want to pull my hair out.

Democrats responding to the Padilla arrest by sending out fundraising emails just make David Hogg’s case for him.

MEMPHIS: “I’M UNDERAGE!” ICE officers forcefully grab a young girl after saying they don’t need a warrant to enter. Trump’s Gestapo busts into homes, grabs anyone? When do police protect people from blatantly unconstitutional raids? @mayorpaulyoung www.facebook.com/share/v/1Bih...

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?

Damn right!! 👊

good lord what a riff

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

Oh S*H*I*T I'm no doomer normally, but now.....

This video is going to be all over tiktok on an hour

Says the guy who cut off House Impeachment Managers' attempt to put on witnesses at Trump's Senate trial (following his second impeachment related to January 6) because he wanted to get home for Valentine's Day.

HOLY SHIT!!! Lawrence O'Donnell just reported that the members of the National Guard that have been deployed to LA are not being paid because the orders have been delayed by the felon.

Trump's military moves - the political Fort Bragg speech, L.A. troop call-up, tanks in D.C. for a Kremlin-style parade - aren't 'a distraction' It's the essence of his regime, and he's pulling a slow-motion coup to crush all dissent and take control My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/coup...
