I've said it once, and I'll keep saying it as long as I'm governor: If you come for Illinoisans, you have to come through me.

Boebert: What we’re seeing in LA is an insurrection Pritzker: You don’t know understand what insurrection is. It is outrageous that you are asking that when you are the one condoning the pardoning of people that attacked police.

What happened to @padilla.senate.gov is an attempt to intimidate anyone with a dissenting view of this Administration and stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights. We will not be silenced. youtu.be/7dNpkFlP0BQ

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

“You can’t even see Kristi Noem in the video….This notion that he was some physical threat to her is just absurd…It’s sick, and it’s hard to even dignify what Mike Johnson said with a response.” - @timmiller.bsky.social

This is important. She did not have to let this happen. The video shows a lot of the manhandling of Padilla happened right in front of her.

RFK Jr is so dangerous to our national health care! Below is one of the best family practice docs I’ve ever had the privilege to work with and am proud to call my friend! He couldn’t have said this any better than any expert!

I realized I had a talent for English Language Comprehension taking AP English and after I passed the exam on a basic prep class given by my teacher at low income hs. This is why when @governor.ca.gov says all the right things I can conclude whether he’s honest or breadcrumbing.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem called Los Angeles a “city of criminals” and not a city of immigrants. But like its name, Los Angeles is a city of angels. We protect and look out for one another, especially the most vulnerable.

The Soviets lost the Cold War, but now Trump is surrendering to them 35 yrs later. The Confederate traitors lost the Civil War, but now Trump is surrendering to them 160 yrs later. The only flag Trump and MAGA should fly is a white one.

Newsom: This Saturday, he's ordering our American heroes, the United States military, and forcing them to put on a vulgar display to celebrate his birthday, just as other failed dictators have done in the past

One of the coolest features of the Agami Heron is its gorgeous, flowing crest that flutters as it poses and preens. But I've never seen it up close before with the details and textures. #CostaRica #herons #nature #birds

ICE was "responding" to the chaos ICE itself created. It was not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE. And now the National Guard is "responding" to the chaos ICE created. It is not responding to the way LA is without intentional provocation from ICE.

We have a US Senator who: Is a woman, but ok with stripping women’s rights. A military veteran, but ok with stripping veteran’s benefits. A survivor or sexual abuse, but ok with supporting multiple abusers. Now she tells her constituents to go ahead and die. What will it take???

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

I’m not sure why Gavin Newsome doesn’t activate the rest of his army guard to prevent the president from it or force him to overrule it…. Then fight on the second amendment guaranteeing a state a right to a militia. How can a state have a militia if the president can simply federalize it

In itself it's not the biggest thing but Congress specifically passed a law requiring ICE to allow access to members of Congress because of Trump's antics in the first term. This isn't even norms. It's violating black letter statute law.

Newsom responds to Homan statement on possibly arresting him: He's a tough guy. Why doesn't he do that? He knows where to find me. Lay your hands off four year old girls that are trying to get educated. Come and arrest me. Let’s just get it over with tough guy. I don’t give a damn
