“Every victory landed just under the threshold that would trigger an automatic recount. Donald Trump outperformed expectations in down-ballot races with margins never before seen—while Kamala Harris simultaneously underperformed in those exact same areas.”

Clarity came to US years ago!

🤦🏼‍♀️

"They even told our delegation: we know that our memorandum is an ultimatum, and you will not accept it," Zelensky said. "Thus, the question is not the quality of the Istanbul format, but what to do about the Russians' lies." kyivindependent.com/russia-admit...

"Please continue peacefully protesting": Sen. Padilla after forced removal from DHS presser

Sen. Alex Padilla was forcibly removed in handcuffs from a press conference in Los Angeles Thursday after attempting to ask Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem questions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

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."

“It is clear what Trump is trying to do. He wants an army that is not a legal institution but a personal paramilitary. He wants it not to defend Americans but to oppress them. He wants to transform a republic into a fascist regime by transforming a history of courage into a future of cowardice.

Trump’s move is apparently designed to test whether rank-and-file troops will go along with his political agenda and to build a foundation for future actions in which military force can be suppressing protests, enforcing disputed election outcomes, defending the suspension of elections, etc.

“An unnamed commander told Military dot com the event was ‘shameful.’ ‘This has been a bad week for the Army for anyone who cares about us being a neutral institution,’ the commander said.” My God.”

Insane!

California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation. We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation. Not despite our immigrant population –– but because of it.

Today do me a favor. So many are feeling so depressed about what’s happening. We are in this together. Reach out to people you know. Make the call, the visit. Whatever it takes. Let’s not forget anyone or leave anyone behind. We need each other! Now more than ever!

You do not have to say “pro vaccine groups.” You can say the vast majority of doctors and scientists and the American Medical Association.

What they aren’t showing on Fox News

Minnesota was just ranked the 5th best state for child wellbeing — here’s why: ✅ Free school meals ✅ Nation-leading Child Tax Credit ✅ Paid family and medical leave

Milwaukee HAPPENING NOW: FROM LA TO MKE: ICE OUT! Massive demonstrations against deportation! The people say NO!

Clarity.

CNN ran a clip of my interview with @governor.ca.gov from today. Absolutely unhelpful to have National Guard and Marines in LA.

We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.

Nice!

Oh my! Thunder, lightning and rain this weekend in DC. 😂

The whole cabinet and entourage mirrors the object of their cult worship. There has never been such a gathering of arrogant, hypocritical, cruel, greedy racists and classists known to US. From under what rocks did they slither? Trump is so vile that he gathers the most vile to his circle.

“Apparently, the goal is threefold: meeting maga Nosferatu’s 3,000 brown person a day kidnap quota … giving Trump an excuse to use the predictable protest response as an excuse to militarily occupy California or just use the Insurrection Act to put the whole country under martial law, “

They are all lying hypocrites, and they know it! “Republicans have had several days to come up with some compelling talking points on this. Evidently, they can’t think of anything.”

He is a lying, arrogant creep.

Nothing says "freedom" like tanks rolling through our nation's capital to honor a convicted felon draft dodger who attempted a coup the last time he was in office. #NoKings

Scots vocab of the day: "Piece." It means a sandwich. "Ah'll pack a piece and a pint fir the hike, the morra."

“Why would Trump do this, when both Obama and Biden were able to deport as many or more people while simply following the law? — Why put military in our streets with guns turned on citizens?” “it’s all fascism theater designed specifically and intentionally to get us ready to accept what’s next.”

It's called KARMA and spelled F U.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

“New York Times reported today that right-wing bots, trolls, conspiracy theorists, and MAGA influencers are flooding social media with messages designed to attack immigrants and Democrats and defend Trump. Many of those accounts are linked to Russia and Russian disinformation.”

Trump wants to suppress protests. But we're possibly about to see the largest yet. “This is the attempted imposition of a dictatorial regime. The question now is whether it will work. ... Fighting him in court works. Pushing back works. Protesting in the streets works.”

"It was the most amount of less-lethals I’ve seen used in a single day protest," said @calmatters.org reporter @sergioolmos.bsky.social, struck in the chest with what he believes to be a 40mm sponge grenade. He's covered hundreds of days of protests in his career.
