Gavin Newsom is responding to red state critics who represent states with higher murder rates than California, including Mike Johnson (Louisiana) and Tommy Tuberville (Alabama).

Profiles in Courage

The President of the United States is advocating for arresting the duly-elected Governor of California for his SPEECH He thereafter admitted that the Governor of California had committed NO CRIME—but he still wants him arrested Spend as much time as you need processing what that means for America

If you're a Marine or other service member being mobilized to Los Angeles and you'd like to apply for conscientious objector status, call the GI Rights Hotline to get some guidance on your options: 1-877-447-4487

Newsom: I told the president, just get it over with. Arrest me. Move on. If you need someone’s head to scalp, then do it with me. But stop messing with these kids. Stop messing with four-year-olds. Kids in elementary school

The U.S. system of government—the two party system, the Senate that's biased to small/rural/white states, the electoral college, the lifetime Supreme Court appointments, the cult-like presidency—honestly made times like these inevitable.

Kristi Noem: "In LA, what we're been going after is the worst of the worst. They're murderers." (They literally raided a Home Depot.)

The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.

Harvey Milk served his country honorably — first in uniform, then in public office. Taking his name off this Navy ship sends a clear message, and it’s one of disrespect and cruelty.

I think a lot of of those folks dressing up like ICE are not even cops much less federal agents. The way they carry themselves. The way they are dressed. Something is off.

The mean vaccination rate decreased from almost 94% before the pandemic to about 91% after the pandemic—falling well below what public-health experts generally consider to be the threshold for herd immunity against measles of about 95%. time.com/7290450/meas...

MURRAY: Will you allocate the $220m for literacy programs that Congress appropriated? McMAHON: We're looking at the unallocated dollars to determine which of those programs we can best spend on MURRAY: Those funds were appropriated. It looks to me like the dept is illegally impounding funding

BREAKING: Newark Mayor Ras Baraka has sued Alina Habba for malicious prosecution and false arrest.

we're gone from "90 deals in 90 days" to sending letters to other countries pleading with them to negotiate

Apparently Marge didn’t read the bill before she voted for it.

Man he really hates being called a taco, doesn’t he? Might even say he’s got a thin shell.

Joni Ernst, at her town hall last night. When the crowd said people will die due to Medicaid and SNAP cuts, she said: "well we all are going to die." 🫠🫠🫠🫠

I’ll say this as many times as I have to. No tax cut in the history of tax cuts has ever paid for itself. Not a one.

Oh

We are governed by a lunatic

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

The new GOP slogan (thank you, Joni Ernst.)

As much fun as the TACO memes are, don't forget what that stands for: TRUMP ALWAYS CHICKENS OUT. It would be a shame to ignore the chicken memes that are there for the taking. Here's a little Starter Kit you might need. ENJOY!

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

Trump is golfing. Musk quit. Patel is at NBA games. Now, Bongino is crying on TV about having to govern. These guys are fascists, but thankfully, they're completely unserious about it.

Miller is the most prominent member of the administration who takes it at all seriously and he may be going through some things

Why the fuck am I paying taxes if we won’t feed kids at school and keep them safe while there? Fuck all you morons for allowing things to be like this.

Trump loses in court a lot, but this week has been especially difficult to keep up.

"Everywhere else you look, the Trump administration seems determined to harm our long-term competitiveness and capacity for innovation; the attacks on universities and the dramatic rollback in federally funded research will probably put a damper on our national economic dynamism for decades to come"

Whoever made this deserves a medal.
