A top staffer to Sen. Tina Smith emailed Sen. Mike Lee’s top staffers on Monday about “how much additional pain you’ve caused on an unspeakably horrific weekend” Full emails below

MSNBC reporter in gas mask in Los Angeles: I think it was Sheriffs deploying CS gas, tear gas, pepper spray, and flash bang grenades in large numbers. Mounted units pushing against protesters.., every single gathering I saw today was 100% peaceful

Best image of the day:

Whoa! Hats off to ABC News reporter Matt Gutman for keeping his cool yesterday. This LAPD officer needs to be relieved of duty if he can’t handle an alleged “touch” without snapping.

It should not be lost on anyone that Minnesota Rep Melissa Hortman, who was shot to death in her home last night by an assassin, was a gun safety advocate who worked tirelessly to protect her constituents from gun violence.

"They took her in a car, in essence kidnapping her ... I met another young woman whose husband has quite literally disappeared" -- Newsom shares harrowing details of specific cases of ICE terrorizing immigrants in California

Call your senators, demand they shut the Senate down.

In the past week, a union leader has been arrested, a U.S. Rep charged with a crime, a U.S. Senator violently handcuffed, and reporters shot with rubber bullets and detained. There is no ambiguity. This is a regime operating as an authoritarian. Americans who believe in liberty must oppose it.

If you haven’t heard of Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove… you have now. When she stepped out from the back without missing a beat, I knew it was on🔥 @kamlager-dove.house.gov

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.

Double.

WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...

#TACO 🌮 HYPOCRISY IS PUTRID, VILE AND ROTTEN

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest? Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

ICE causing fires from their own tear gas and flash grenades, don’t get it twisted. They’re the ones causing damages to cities.

Gov. Newsom is inarguably cooking on the socials

"You just f---ing shot the reporter!"

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

SWAT shoot at a woman for filming them.

LAPD when they think nobody is watching

We need details on this.

The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

It's a fantastic book - download it - buy it - or just borrow it and read it. The Dust Bowl Triolgy are worth the effort.

What has this country become? Deporting a 2 year old US citizen! This is unconscionable. US District Judge Terry Doughty said the child, her mother, and sister had slready been released in Hondurus. We wondered where the women were, now we know. #ProudBlue www.politico.com/news/2025/04...

Crimes against humanity! I am sickened to my core! This must be stopped!

Tax the rich Support public schools Tax the rich Support public schools #TaxTheRich #SupportPublicSchools

The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.

Now it’s Wendy Brito. New Orleans mother taken by ICE. Wife, mother, school volunteer. Legal resident. No charges. No criminal record. No explanation. Routine ICE check-in & she never came home. 3 weeks detained. No reason given. No answers. This is not due process. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

No one is safe with ICE out there running rampant.

Almost every line of this story would have been simply unbelievable a few months ago: —Pioneering cancer researcher; —*Arrested* at airport in Boston; —Now indefinite ICE detention in Louisiana; —"Crime": not declaring some frog-embryo samples for research. Read it. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

America was founded on the basic protection against unlawful imprisonment. Due process is a fundamental right in our constitution. Denying it or defending those who deny it is unamerican and illegal.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

NOTE: There are more people *in this frame of television* than there are transgender athletes in the State of Maine *All* of this is theater for stupid people

I just landed in San Salvador a little while ago, and I look forward to meeting with the team at the U.S. embassy to discuss the release of Mr. Abrego Garcia. I also hope to meet with Salvadoran officials and with Kilmar himself. He was illegally abducted and needs to come home.

I've been clear: if President Bukele doesn't want to meet here in D.C., then I intend to go to El Salvador this week to check on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's condition and discuss his release. Kilmar was illegally ABDUCTED and deported by the Trump Admin. He must be brought home NOW.

Letter from Dem Senator Chris Van Hollen (MD) requesting a meeting with Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele To discuss MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸
