This means Trump is now underwater on his handling of nearly all of his core issues: -inflation -immigration -tariffs -protests At what point will politics on these things turn enough that other Republican politicians start to criticize his approach?

Not for nothing but if Biden had done this it would be a 2 week story.

The Los Angeles Dodgers announced today that the organization will donate $1 million to immigrant families impacted by recent raids.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

New Orleanians. Our time has come.

They're anti-free speech

Trump has gutted FEMA grants to build storm-resistant infrastructure in flood and hurricane-prone communities.  Two-thirds of counties that have lost funding voted for him in 2024.  Trump is even telling his own voters they're on their own. https://www.cbsnews.com/femagrantcuts/

I always wondered how German people stood by and let the Gestapo drag people from their homes. I see it now in Rs in this country.

Man who should come with a health warning…

The Supreme Court I got to know when I worked in the Solicitor General’s office understood its responsibility to balance the scales of justice in favor of the powerless. Today’s SCOTUS majority doesn’t seem to have a clue. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/does-the-supreme-court-exist-to-protect

Acknowledging the reality! Amen.

I didn’t think it was possible for me to think less of Jim (Gym) Jordan…but after watching the HBO Documentary Surviving Ohio State… Jim(my) as his team called him…I certainly do. He is a sewer dwelling ghoul! What a lousy excuse for a human being..

ICE looking more and more like the American Gestpo.

Karen Bass: "It's felt in LA like we're part of a grand experiment. How far will the public tolerate the federal government intervening and seizing power from a governor? I think it's being tried out here."

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Women are lagging behind on going bankrupt on DraftKings, drinking themselves to death, and fist-fighting anyone who looks at them funny on the subway but they can catch up.

The active duty soldier who was placed in on an involuntary mental health hold after speaking out about ICE abuses has been released. He was given no treatment nor diagnosis and no reason for the hold.

@tedlieu.bsky.social Congress must investigate 1) where did all of the plain clothes ICE agents come from, 2) are they being paid a bounty, and 3) when was this authorized.

28-year-old Pedro Luis Salazar-Cuervo, who has no known criminal record, was accused by Texas police of being in a Venezuelan gang because they found a photo of him posing with another man with tattoos, his lawyers say. From ProPublica partner @texastribune.org:

You lose healthcare. They gain yachts. Keep spreading the word.

So “pro-life.”

If you had seen this 10 years ago, you would believe you were looking at some right-wing thugs in a banana republic disappearing someone... Instead, you are looking at a scene from a land once known as the home of the brave and the land of the free 🇺🇸 🚫⚖️🚫🗽😑💔🤦‍♂️

They’re banning gender care for kids by screaming about “sex change surgeries.” That’s a lie. No one’s cutting up children. It’s puberty blockers. It’s hormones. It’s reversible. They know the truth. They just don’t care. The cruelty is the point. #TransRights

FFS! When will this end?! He lied, he’s goin after all people of color and all people who oppose him! Fear, chaos and killing is the point. I long for the time before trunt.

FINALLY Democrats are putting out HARD-HITTING ads. WATCH AND SHARE: #MAGAKidnappers

Prayers for an “allergic reaction.” But mockery and hateful conspiracies for murder victims who aren’t in your tribe. With no apology or remorse. Fake Christian, small man.

MSNBC dug up the clip of former Trump Sec Def Mark Esper saying that Trump asked him in 2020 to shoot protesters -- an order Pete Hegseth wouldn't rule out following if Trump asked him to do it today

@bradlander.bsky.social: "I was in a DHS detention for about 3.5 hours... I'm going to sleep at home in my bed tonight, safe with my family. But at Edgardo, who I was trying to accompany, he is in ICE detention. God knows where he's going to sleep tonight. And who knows what state."

Get the federal troops out of L.A. Now.

ABCs of Trumpism. Always Be Corrupt

It took Netanyahu 29 years, but he finally found an American president who was itching to go to war with him against Iran.

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

This is beyond cruel, especially for young folks who are going through it. Cutting off LGBTQ+ youth from specialized suicide prevention help is a death sentence disguised as bureaucracy. Shame on every official who signed off on this. You’re not protecting children, you’re abandoning them.

Moulton: I have heard that a lot of officers are considering resigning their commissions because they question whether this is constitutional—whether they’re violating their oath to protect and defend the Constitution, not the president, by carrying out these orders. These are active discussions

The editorial board of a publication in Sen. Mike Lee's home state of Utah called on him to apologize for his posts about the Minnesota shootings, writing that they “were unacceptable for anyone, let alone from a member of the Senate.”

Can someone in immigration law explain to me how this is legal?

California lawmakers are trying to pass the “No Secret Police Act” which, if introduced, would ban police from covering their faces. Do you think officers should be allowed to hide their identities from the public? Full video on Substack (free for anyone to watch).

After NYC Comptroller Brad Lander was arrested by ICE, Gov. Kathy Hochul of NY stepped up and got him released! Stay strong, stay determined, Dems.
