I’m at the No Kings protest in downtown Syracuse, NY where thousands of people are lining both sides of a main street. Cars honk in support as they go by.

A reminder to reporters, when historians look back on this moment with the president throwing himself a military parade and the people throwing No Kings rallies across America, the media sources raving about the former and sneering at the latter are going to be quoted by name. This is your legacy!

Kristi Noem thinks her lie about Sen. Padilla not identifying himself is a real own when, in fact, her supposed inability to recognize a US Senator--who is the chair of the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship & Border Safety--makes her goons' thuggery even more disgraceful.

Political violence is always unacceptable. This is a horrifying day for Minnesota, and a sad day for America. What has occurred is a direct attack on our American values and democracy.

We’ve truly lost our way in this country. An 80-year-old vet who fought for this country just got arrested protesting Trump‘s parade. He deserves respect, not handcuffs.

Criminals are scary. Criminals with guns and other weapons are even scarier. Imagine a criminal who has the U.S. Armed Forces at his command, as well as the nuclear codes. It doesn't get much scarier.

The American orange dictator madman is incapable of carrying out any maneuver or policy that requires thought or knowledge. With him, it can never be anything but malicious, absurd lies and name-calling, vengeance, and brutality.

SEN. PADILLA: “Saying I lunged is a lie, but that’s par for the course for this administration… I was behind the cameras listening, and at a certain point hearing Noem say they had to rescue LA from the Governor and Mayor was too much to take. So I raise my voice to ask a question.”

I prefer not to live under a military or militaristic dictatorship. I prefer the values of Washington, Jefferson,Hamilton, Lincoln,Obama, Biden, and yes, even Bush, either one, to the values of Hitler and Putin admired so much by the brutish and decrepit madman in office.

For the right, a white woman that sits atop a powerful agency ruthlessly deporting thousands is the “beautiful, delicate, tiny” victim. People of color with opinions they don’t like, even elected officials, are the violent aggressors.

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."
