NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :

After several unmarked DHS vehicles had their windows smashed, DHS is now deploying infantry-style escort tactics to walk vehicles into and out of the area. These CBP officers look absolutely sweaty and miserable as the crowd lets them hear it. It's too hot to wear masks. (sound on for A+ heckling)

Elon Musk can take his one-month free offer of Starlink services (to those affected by the wildfires) and shove it up his ass. Starlink poses a national security threat. Also, Musk said that Canada is not a real country. Screw him!

This is why "you're right, it isn't what you voted for, because your values aren't shared by the Republican Party" is a much more effective message to help build a better America than "yes you did vote for this, you bad person" which fails to take advantage of this once-in-a-generation opportunity

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA. Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released. But here is what we do know. (1/7)

Mitch McConnell wouldn’t have to vote no on dangerous cabinet picks if he’d done his damn job in 2021.

The ADL’s cowardice around Musk’s Nazi salute is especially galling to anyone familiar with that institution’s long and brave history of monitoring and analyzing the fascistic threads in US political culture. This book is from 1996, for example.

Nah, I don’t care what the excuses are that start to leak. Especially the Aspergers one… It’s an insult to others on the spectrum with Aspergers This was intentional by someone who has watched and learned how to perfect it.

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

The people I went to high school with in the 1980s in Cambria County, PA voted for Trump in part because they fear that undocumented people will harm them. There are virtually no undocumented people in the country. But the priest at our Catholic Church assaulted dozens of our friends. Crickets.

The “conservative movement” that eventually swallowed the old “Party of Lincoln” was turbocharged in 1954-5 by the reaction against Brown v Board, a case that rested upon the application of the 14th Amendment.

I’m just going to be honest. When an extremely wealthy person who made his wealth by creating novel ways to fleece the most sick and underserved people in society of more money or outright doomed them to painful deaths for profit it’s ok to make jokes about it. Evil people don’t deserve our humanity

It’s insane to me that the orange felon was even able to run for President after being federally charged with interfering in an election whilst being a convicted felon, but it’s more insane that those charges are now being dropped because he “won” an election that he began saying was rigged.
