Gavin Newsom spoke yesterday about longtime migrant workers—parents, farm & construction workers, and kids left behind. None had records; many were taken at work. The Trump admin lied: families ARE being separated. This won’t make us safer—but it WILL hurt our economy and food supply.

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.

I say this as someone who’s only been a Democrat for 10 days: The only “purity tests” for Democrats right now should be this - Do you support freedom, democracy, the rule of law, the Constitution, and basic human decency?

I’m not sure USA has ever faced such a moment. Wholly unprepared to deal with calamity on the world stage. We have a Putin ass-kisser at Sec of State, a drunk at Pentagon and a dipshit asshole sitting in the Oval Office Adderall tweeting. He pulled out of Iran deal, lethal moron.

Donald Trump asked whether Elon Musk's failed DOGE experiment was "all bullshit." Spoiler: it was. So I sent Trump a list of suggestions to cut $2 trillion in true government waste without gutting government programs and jacking up costs for families.

There is no argument that Bluesky is superior in terms of tech & experience: fewer people, yet far better engagement. It's easy to avoid dissent and argument here. And you'll deal with infinitely fewer Nazis. What they're saying is that there are people who are allowed to dissent. And it's not us.

That's 338 rural towns wiped off the map. Not only is the hospital oftentimes the largest employer in these rural communities, but young families and older people can't afford to live 2 hours from the nearest hospital. This murder budget kills rural people and attacks the rural way of life.

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.

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."

The physical assault of a United States Senator by federal law enforcement — for simply questioning a cabinet secretary — is a big test. The Senate can either assert itself as a co-equal branch of government & demand accountability or it can be docile & fade into the background. It’s a choice.

US Sen Padilla leads by example. During MSNBC interview about attack, he speaks calmly, with discipline, and with the presence of mind to say he doesn’t want the focus on him. Padilla wants to keep focus on how the current actions by the administration are terrorizing hardworking people.
