It is genuinely unsafe for average people to use Twitter and speak freely. It appears to be this administration's primary intelligence gathering operation.

Worth emphasizing that Tom Homan has literally no official powers. "Border Czar" is a made up position that amounts to, at best, a senior White House advisor.

In 2024, Greg Abbott literally defied the Supreme Court and the Biden administration kinda just did nothing about it because they wanted to respect political norms. For their deference, the democratic party has been rewarded with a republican president just inventing reasons to arrest dem governors.

This is a reminder to all reporters that "less lethal" is not the same as "less than lethal" and just because they might be less likely to kill it's no guarantee they won't.

The correct way to connect the authoritarian presence in LA and the Big Beautiful Bill is that the bill gives the government the resources to do this in dozens of cities at once. So if you don't like what's happening in LA, it's coming to your town if the bill passes.

The population of Greater Los Angeles is larger than the population of fourteen full STATES, COMBINED. 200 protestors on 3 blocks is not a fucking insurrection. We have film shoots for Nickelodeon bigger than this.

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

Why isn't Trump's clear and open call for federal law enforcement to arrest a Democratic governor based on zero lawbreaking of any kind leading every single news site right now?

Three things about this comment: 1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does Trump. 2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you? 3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE

It's hard to overstate how destructive the reflexive "this is a distraction!" stuff that politicians and commentators and people are always peddling. Everything is happening all at once. That's how authoritarianism works. If you can't navigate and synthesize this, you're not meeting the moment.

Healthcare for seniors is not waste, fraud, or abuse. Food for hungry kids is not waste, fraud, or abuse. A $45 military parade for a draft dodging felon is waste, fraud, and abuse. Paying the National Guard to attack US citizens is waste, fraud, and abuse.

That's right. This poor multimillionaire has been inundated w/anti-white hostility. It's not like his entire career has been built around leading harassment campaigns against anyone--particularly women--who've had the temerity to criticize him. Oh and he's been credibly accused of sexual violence.

"The Tonys are never going to attract a mainstream audience with content like that" is the pop-culture version of "Democrats need to move to the center to reach real Americans" and should be handled with the same skepticism.

JFK literally had multiple chronic diseases and spent a significant part of both his childhood and adult life hospitalized and convalescing. RFK Jr. is an embarrassment.

It is completely unlawful for ICE to turn away members of Congress like this. The law could not be more clear; no member of Congress may be denied access to a facility where ICE is detaining someone, and they cannot be required to schedule in advance. Surprise inspections must be surprise.

Worth bearing in mind that illegal entry is a misdemeanor and being unlawfully present in the country is not even a criminal offense, but a civil one. This is the equivalent of saying we need to torch the Constitution & send in the SWAT team to catch jaywalkers & people with overdue library books.

This is a fever dream. The city is not under migrant occupation. This whole thing kicked off because ICE began an intense operation across the city to raid Home Depots and nail salons and places where random undocumented immigrants might be going about their day working a job.

Sam Pinkleton, in his Tonys speech: “Cole Escola! You have taught me, you have taught me to make what you love and not what you think people want to see.” At a time when we are all encouraged to pursue the clicks and please the algorithm, we cannot hear that lesson too often.

Here’s the thing about the Trump Administration talking about violence: 1. They’re lying. No doubt there’s some but they are dramatically exaggerating. 2. They’re lying in order to justify escalating violence and violations of laws and rights. 3. Their goals are bigger than today. /1

there is zero logic to QI. if it's unconstitutional, it is regardless of the number of times it's been litigated. the idea that you'd need notice not to do this is absurd and morally bankrupt.
