History will not be kind to Speaker Johnson. Nor should it be.

We hear that immigrants are "freeloaders," yet they're being arrested at their workplaces. We hear that immigrants "just need to follow the law," but when they attempt to, they're rounded up at courthouses. Hello?

At a time when other politicians attempted to distort the truth and disrupt our state, we stayed true to the virtues of the Land of Lincoln. As long as I'm governor, Illinois will uphold our Midwestern and American values — by treating people with dignity, respect, and fairness.

Get real and get over it.

NEW: A federal judge in a hearing Thursday appeared deeply skeptical of the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) legal defense of President Donald Trump federalizing the California National Guard in response to largely peaceful protests in Los Angeles. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The serious question for global business is the reality of having to leave America behind. For years America was a global powerhouse. It has declined into an unstable entity with far too many unstable citizens.

I am ashamed of this country. We are supposed to be a melting pot of cultures. Celebrating eachother and our differences. I am sick to my stomach.

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.

Yeah. Scam is his jam. The felon is PAYING people to attend his own birthday party. The felon was booed like the villain he is at 'Les Misérables', and entirely misses the point of what it’s about. He should be embarrassed, but psycho’s are missing that gene. #Voice4Victory #DemVoice1

Marco Rubio is the weakest and most subservient Secretary of State ever. What a pathetic Russian lapdog — kissing Putin’s feet on a daily basis! Rubio is certainly NOT speaking on behalf of me!!! 😡

Old School Marine- Reminds active duty Marines to uphold the standard and refuse any illegal order to harm US civilians. #NoKings

Gavin Newsom and his team are doing a good job at social media. Using comebacks and memes to just straight up murder muffukahs. Pay attention, Dems. This is how it’s done.

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

May the anti-ICE movement continue to spread nationwide! This is the Los Angeles spirit your news broadcast isn’t showing…

America’s Generals are terrified. They are cowed. They seem unlikely to hold the line and live up to their oaths to serve the U.S. Constitution. Trump violated the law (the Hatch Act) conducting a political rally at Fort Bragg, rousing the troops to cheer his slogans but the Generals stay silent.

A President of the United States is going to the theater tonight in the midst of what is shaping up to be a civil war I will have no further comment at this time

ICE is gearing up to deploy to these blue cities: Chicago, NYC, the DC area, Seattle, and Philly. If any of these are your hometowns—get ready. If not—watch anyway, all the way through, because Trump’s unhinged order will affect you. Spread the word.

Every major Dem politician needs to realize that, in this environment, they can schedule a "speech to the nation," like Newsom did, and get tons of media coverage. Just do it.

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."

Gavin Newsom - If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. #cdnpoli

Democracy is strong and functioning in Minnesota.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.

Met an active duty member of the military yesterday who filed conscientious objector paperwork in response to deployment of military on U.S. soil. Was told multiple Army have filed, unknown quantities in other branches.

I love this so much! Austin, Texas in solidarity with LA. 🙏🏽❤️

You can't call immigrants lazy moochers looking for government handouts and then round them up at Home Depots where you know they are looking for work. You can't say immigrants don't follow the rules and then round them up in courthouses where they are following the rules. Get your lies straight.

i just watched a clip of stephen miller talking to hannity from a few days ago and my god is that guy a stone cold freak. like, everything about him is profoundly off-putting, like a bug in an eggar suit

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

Dear Members of the Military, You can conscientiously object to his war on America.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

This is what it looks like without a United States Congress.

I look forward to Stephen Miller being tried for his crimes against humanity--along with Tom Homan and Kristi Noem--and receiving the most severe penalties allowed by law.

#ProudBlue #RU #Pinks We all stumble & all have days that fracture us. But we also have moments of bravery & resilience. And love, lots of love. Be kind to yourself. Speak gently to yourself. Respect & honor your worth & the journey you’re on. Kindness begins within. Let the world see your light

NEW: California sues the US govt, claiming that its commandeering of the California National Guard—"without consent or even official notice to the governor"—is beyond the scope of its powers and a violation of the 10th Amendment and the APA. oag.ca.gov/system/files...

👏👏👏👏

Because military veterans understand what‘s at stake.

RIP to the great Sly Stone. A monumental loss. His PR just sent this out.
