I signed the final bills Melissa Hortman shepherded through the most narrowly divided legislature in the county. All of them bipartisan. We debated, we found common ground, and we compromised. That’s how democracy should function.

Remember, this kind of thing happened in the Civil Rights Era all the time. Different actors and different races, but we got through that and we will get through this and these people will be held to account.

It occurred to me this morning that these kinds of arrests took place in the Civil Rights Era as well, just with different players and different context. The spirit is the same, though, and we will come out the other side stronger, and hold people accountable as a society.

Just want to note here, it looks like some of the ICE agents were not masked. These people will face the full force of the law one day, and it won’t be pretty. If you’re an ICE agent making illegal arrests, be prepared to spend 10+ years in Federal Prison when Trump is gone #ice #nyc

It's pretty easy to understand the behaviour of any Republican politician or MAGA world participant by asking "Is this expressing loyalty to the In group?" If the answer is Yes you probably don't have to dig any deeper for meaning.

“We have a record that someone alleged election interference in the 2020 election and we are turning that over to congress” -Kash Patel Uh, duh, dude. The while right wing media thunderdome was screaming that for 18 months. I’m sure you have a record of it.

A federal judge blocked key parts of Trump’s anti-voting order that required proof of citizenship and challenged mail ballot deadlines, saying that the states challenging the order have shown a “substantial risk” it would disenfranchise voters. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Dear @democrats.org, Republicans have offered you a playbook on how to obstruct. They do it to you all the time. Why aren't you using their effective obstruction strategies? Why are you confirming their noms? Why are you voting for their destructive bills? Why are you not all united?

If you ain't reading all that, I don't blame you. But what Trump just said is anti-American. Sending in the Department of Defense and FBI to militarize "Democratic" cities because you don't like how they vote isn't just illegal—it's authoritarian. This won't stand in court.

BREAKING: A federal judge in Massachusetts (the Reagan-appointed William Young) has declared the Trump administration's cuts to NIH grants — ostensibly over Trump's EOs on gender ideology and DEI — are "illegal" and "void." He's ordering many grants restored.

FFS! Isn't enough that Trump & MAGA Republicans stripped cancer care away from veterans And will throw many veterans off their healthcare with cuts to Medicaid, Medicare & Addordable Care But now veterans could be refused care because they are Democrats or unmarried apple.news/AYDS-2V8pRKy...

I think Newsom should make an announcement that he’s tired of red states taking advantage of California and it’s time to make a deal to reduce the deficit between them and pay more. I mean, MAGA backed Trump’s tariffs when he made that claim about the trade deficit with other countries, so…

1/3 Under Trump’s latest executive order, the VA is now letting doctors refuse care to veterans based on marital status and even political affiliation—specifically targeting unmarried vets and Democrats. This is nothing short of a betrayal of those who served our country. tinyurl.com/2zh984p9

And again, they were about 15-20 times as large as the April 2009 Tea Party protests, so I'll sit back and wait for 15-20 times as many stories from political pundits explaining that this was a decisive rebuke to the sitting president that Changes Everything.

Just to say it again, the Big Beautiful Protests (the No Kings marches) involved 5 million people and were likely the largest day of protest in America EVER. News outlets that downplay this fact, are lying.
