Mike Lee was born with every conceivable advantage in life. His father was US Solicitor Gen & dean of BYU Law, where Mike went to school. Older brother UT Sup Ct justice. Then he got jobs where family connections certainly help open doors. But he decided he wanted to be Catturd.

YESSSSSSS!!! Repost Please.

the story today is of a profoundly low energy military parade being met with millions of americans in nationwide protests denouncing the dictatorial pretensions of the president

Seriously, MSNBC’s David Noriega and Jacob Soboroff were doing such great reporting from the main LA protest, from different spots, that they showed how law enforcement instigated trouble that just wasn’t happening.

This guy really just spoke the truth to the big other, so hopefully he keeps his job.

As a nurse, I appreciate this picture.

Minnesota’s flags will fly at half staff in honor and remembrance of Speaker Emerita Melissa Hortman. She woke up every morning determined to make Minnesota a better place, and she will be greatly missed.

Tens of thousands in Los Angeles No King protest. Beautiful.

Rep Hortman and I were classmates at the Kennedy School and graduated together in 2018. It took me a moment to realize the person who I remember as deeply service driven and incredibly bright was the victim of last night’s heinous act. She was a bright light and made us all better.

UPDATE: Minnesota authorities have identified Vance Boelter (57) as the alleged murderer. The kill list recovered from his car also targets Gov Tim Walz, Rep. Ilhan Omar, several Democratic lawmakers, & abortion-care providers. If you know where Boelter is call MN state tip line at (651) 555-TIPS.

No Kings Corona!

Trump has to rig everything, from his birthday to political speeches at military bases. He’s a loser who has to fake support. Tomorrow, go to a #NoKings protest. Show this Administration what democracy looks like and why we refuse to honor a king. Be mad. Be outraged. Demand accountability.

What happened yesterday was part of a much bigger effort to try and silence anyone who dares to question what the Trump administration is doing.  But we will not be intimidated and we will not be deterred. We must hold this administration accountable.

Not just anybody. Kristi Noem would not allow the chairman of the Senate Judiciary subcommittee on citizenship, immigration, and border safety to ask a question about how the Trump regime deploys ICE. MAGA doesn’t want a nation of laws. They want unquestioned white nationalist authoritarian rule.

Enten: How many people watched Gavin Newsom's speech on just YouTube alone? Over 3 million folks. Joe Rogan, his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million YouTube views, so Newsom's speech.. very, very popular.

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Well it's started. Israel attacked Iran’s capital early Friday, with explosions booming across Tehran. apnews.com/article/iran...

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dccartoonist.bsky.social )

Sen. Alex Padilla: "If this is how this DHS responds to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the Los Angeles community and throughout California and throughout the country. We will hold this administration accountable."

Senator Alex Padilla of California was removed by force from Kristi Noem’s presser and handcuffed for his free speech. This is what a fascist regime does that rejects the laws of the US. It should horrify every American. Let’s stop pretending we are approaching authoritarian rule. We are there.

Sen. Alex Padilla Just Stood Up To Kristi Noem And Was Assaulted And Detained By Federal Agents https://twp.ai/4ioNbG

What happened to Senator Padilla in California today is outrageous. Senator Padilla is a respected leader of great dignity and he has every right to ask a question of Secretary Noem without being slammed down and handcuffed.

California senator gets roughed up by Noem's DHS thugs—for asking a question https://twp.ai/4ioNbH

VIDEO: Here is the Regime treating a duly elected U.S. Senator like a farm animal because he had the temerity to ask questions of Kristi Noem. Fascism is here. The jackboot of Big Government is pressing down on all our faces, and the only question is what we do next.

I know MAGA is celebrating and cheering this assault on Senator Padilla, but this won't play well across the nation. They don't realize it because it's a right-wing echo chamber, but ICE agents terrorizing family members, kids, communities, Senators, and now Trump throwing a military parade?

The NYT, WSJ, and WaPo are all headlining that Padilla "forcibly removed." Which conveniently ignores the slammed-to-the-ground part.

Gov. Pritzker: “It's wrong to deploy the National Guard and active duty Marines into an American city over the objection of local law enforcement, just to inflame a situation and create a crisis.”

Another one! Good luck red states with your disaster responses www.cbsnews.com/news/jeremy-...

Excellent news! www.cbsnews.com/news/judge-r...

Follow them! Support them!

RIP to a great musician!

The president’s power to call out the National Guard is not a blank check.

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

The Constitution guarantees all citizens the right to freedom of speech The right to peaceably assemble The right to petition the government for a redress of grievances I’ll be DAMNED if I let some wannabe dictator take away MY rights See you on Saturday, Trump #NoKings

I'm attending No Kings's event, “NO KINGS [Corona, CA]” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...

🇺🇸Congratulations to U.S. Navy Veteran @mikiesherrill.bsky.social on her win tonight in New Jersey! This continues the trend we’re seeing across the country—in blue and red areas alike—when Democratic Veterans and national security experts step up to run, they win.

BREAKING: Gov. Gavin Newsom says he has filed an emergency motion in federal court to block Trump's deployment of National Guard and Marines troops in Los Angeles.

She was right.

Alright, heading out since I have to pick up my kids from school, stay safe everyone and remember: Chinga la migra y viva Los Angeles! Free David Huerta and all the rest!

To the LAPD officers who are standing up for the people of LA, thank you. For the LAPD officers attempting to hurt civilians? The opposite.

BREAKING: Adam Schiff just showed up in Los Angeles at the bail hearing for the union leader Trump arrested. This is amazing – and exactly how you fight back against Donald Trump.
