Let's be absolutely clear: physically assaulting a US Senator for simply asking a question is disgraceful. We stand with Senator Padilla and all those peacefully defending working people against this administration's attacks.

This new electric moped is coming for your streets and bike lanes, and that’s a good thing

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

So, I'm sure Doug LaMalfa (CA-01), Kevin Kiley (CA-03), Tom McClintock (CA-05), Vince Fong (CA-20), David Valadao (CA-22), Jay Obernolte (CA-23), Young Kim (CA-40), Ken Calvert (CA-41) & Darrell Issa (CA-48) are outraged about one of their U.S. Senators being assaulted & handcuffed yesterday, right?

Thank you for your attention to this matter. #AccountabilityForJanuary6th

When will they stop? Uh, I guess when you stop pretending everything is normal, voting for their bills and confirming their nominees?

Senile Dick Durbin, who has pushed multiple bills that would effectively force feed the internet to only the biggest of big tech companies while destroying the open parts of the internet, picks today, of all days, to brag about his "bipartisan" efforts here.

Update: We've removed the paywall for all ye who enter.

HERE IS A THING that EVERY American can do: 1. Call your Senator. 2. Say the following: "I am requesting that you place a hold on the nomination of Bill Essayli as U.S. Attorney for the Central District of CA for directing federal agents to assault a U.S. Senator." 3. Call other Senator, repeat

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

I think the main thing is he wants vital emergency relief to be personalized rather than institutionalized. It’s not that the federal government won’t aid states hit by disasters; it’s that he wants them to kneel & beg him personally.

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.

That would be a good start.

Physically shoving, handcuffing, and forcibly removing a sitting United States Senator from a press conference is unacceptable. Senator Padilla is right to demand answers from this Administration.

[CHARLIE CALE VOICE] bullshit

I've been saying on every podcast, radio show and in my columns that bringing Blue America to heel is at the heart of this. Noem just confirmed it.

This is just f'ing awesome: tiny little solar power plants are sprouting on German balconies. A *million* of them now! This needs to be legalized in the US, ASAP. I want my own balkonkraftwerk.

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...

Musk's Twitter is now running paid advertising calling for the extrajudicial execution of protesters in Los Angeles. In most countries around the world, this is a criminal act.

Palmer: Charges should be brought against each one of you AOC: Raising the prospect of charges against witnesses is a form of intimidation is it not? Palmer: I strike those words

"Republicans insist that when you cut taxes for the wealthy, it’s like feeding Popeye a can of spinach; pumped with this almost magical fuel, the entire economy will burst with new power and vitality. There will be so much economic activity that revenues will surge, and deficits will even go down."

ICE has been arresting immigrants and asylum seekers after their cases have been dismissed by judges in El Paso. This has left their loved ones in dismay and scared. My story about the expanding crackdown in El Paso.

I never knew the story of how the actual heist was planned and pulled off -- this is incredible also lol forever at one of the activists explaining to his kids decades later, “If you’re a white man in a suit, you can get away with anything”

I'll call for pizza, I'll call my cat I'll call the White House, have a chat

cause and effect is one of the first things we teach kids, eg “the stove is hot, touching it will burn you.” and yet.

I'm not a polling expert but it seems to me that the 60% *disapproval* is more significant than the 39% approval. Even when POTUS approval is low, isn't there usually 5-10% who are undecided?

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

I was, of course, pleased to sign this letter from a wide range of esteemed Supreme Court reporters calling on the justices to live-stream audio of opinion announcements. There is no reason this audio should be withheld for months, as the court does now. www.scotusblog.com/2025/06/repo...

Had some more to say on the "riots" and "invasion" in LA. If it’s a "riot," it’s the police who are rioting. If there’s an “invasion” of LA, it’s the US military that is invading.

Again, the big divide within the Democratic Party is not going to be progressives versus moderate (or The Groups). It's going to be fight versus flight. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

President Trump’s federal agents are now chasing migrant farm workers through fields — and circling them with a CBP chopper normally used to track smuggling at the border — in the heart of the nation’s agricultural economy. here’s my report from Ventura County, California.

I was at a car wash in Culver City today that was raided twice last weekend by ICE. 25 car wash workers and 1 customer have been kidnapped over the past several days, and the whereabouts of most of them is unknown. I spoke to families of the kidnap victims: prospect.org/justice/2025...
