Biden’s presidency was a great time for America, with economic growth in a wide variety of sectors. No amount of propaganda is going to erase that.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."

Newsom: "Speaker Johnson -- his eloquence was elevated when he called to 'tar and feather' the governor of California. Very religious man. I guess that's the spirit. The word of the Lord."

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

AOC: When they say illegal vs legal immigration—they are trying to end legal status in the US making people undocumented and then they have the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented.

Rep. Lynch: "In late March, ICE agents wearing masks detained Rümeysa Öztürk. And those of you who watched that abduction, when you compare the old films of the Gestapo grabbing people off the streets of Poland ... it does look like the Gestapo."

Possible to start to tell a unified story: "Trump is personally too old, crazy, and confused to run things, so at any given time the question is which co-president is in charge. At first it was Musk, & we got the crazy chaotic DOGE era. Then Navarro: a trade war that crashed markets. Now Miller..."

I am once again suggesting that perhaps we should simply behave as if we are outraged by bad things and people will agree with us

Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."

Ro Khanna to Maria Bartiromo: "What we need is for our local law enforcement, the state police, to address it. And that's what the people want. That's why we have federalism. It's not like people in LA or California are saying 'please bring in the Marines.' I believe we listen to people."

Rep. Eric. Sorensen on Harvey Milk: "He stood up for the same people who are being targeted, persecuted, and vilified by this administration today ... picking and choosing who deserves that thanks -- it's not just wrong, it's un-American."

"In a fashion familiar to observers of systemically corrupt regimes, Trump (sheltered by the Supreme Court’s assurance that he can freely engage in corruption) has made bribe solicitation an integral element of governance." Quite an overview of Trump's lawlessness here:

I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there. What an unbelievable asshole.

In a comic book industry that is both overly saturated and boasting record sales, it is important to give people their flowers while they can still smell them, even if said persons are of the fictional variety.

Since the AG doesn't seem to be getting ethics guidance from her team these days, I wanted to make sure she has the rule in the Justice Manual in front of her, which expressly prohibits this.
