If this is how this administration responds to a Senator with a question, you can only imagine what they're doing to farmworkers, to cooks, and to day laborers throughout California and across the country. We will hold this administration accountable.

Lies. All lies. Truth is the mortal enemy of MAGA, like daylight or Holy Water to a vampire. They lie about the economy, about immigration, about the policies of Democrats, and about their leader's state of health. If you guess they're lying at any time, you'd probably be right.

Lawrence O’Donnell just opened this show with news that the paperwork was never filed to give the National Guard pay or any type of insurance benefits that they should have working full-time. So none of them are getting paid so far. They also have no cots no food…

The party that called the January 6th such on the Capitol "legitimate political discourse" doesn't get to tell ANY group of people that they shouldn't fly a flag honoring their heritage. Never forget what they defended.

A friend who works at Harbor-UCLA just told me that ICE was on the premises. Harbor-UCLA is a safety-net hospital & a level 1 trauma hospital. People are going to die because of these actions. This makes me so angry.

We're living at a moment when ICE is threatening not only to arrest and deport immigrants but arrest and prosecute everyday people and leaders for educating others about their constitutional rights. Helping to defend our immigrant communities is one clear action that we can all take right now. ⤵️

I am sounding the alarm as loudly as I can that Donald Trump has turned the Department of Justice into a cog in his authoritarian machine to prosecute his political opponents.

When I was a military chaplain, a junior commissioned officer, partisan politics, even casual conversation about it, was strictly forbidden for many good reasons, not least of which was cohesion of the ranks to assure national security as the top priority. Not here.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

Great news for the MAGA “I voted for this” crowd—the only elements of the so-called Big Beautiful Bill _certain_ to be stripped from it are the things he publicly promised you to get your vote. But have no fear! The backroom deals he cut with the rich will all remain intact as he signs it.

The orange dictator's mind is disordered and full of hate and perversion. So are his policies. He's leading the country into chaos and destruction. Of course he doesn't have a coherent viable strategy!!! When did he ever?

Here’s a video of Stephen Miller in high school screaming that he’s “sick and tired of being told to pick up my trash, when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us.” This is the sociopath shaping our immigration policy and so much more

It's certain that MAGA ignoramuses won't know who Christy Walton is. They'll try to destroy Walmart anyway because they enjoy destroying things. That's what MAGA is all about. Destruction.

Karen Bass: "The 100 National Guard soldiers that are downtown LA are guarding one federal building, so there is no need for this...it's all part of an experiment that is taking place in Los Angeles...what happens when the federal government intervenes and takes power away from a governor & mayor?"

After the January 6 pardons, MAGA Republicans have committed themselves to the acceptability of attacks on law enforcement. Officers died as a result. Everything else from them is dishonest bad faith noise.

I don’t think people should engage in violence and vandalism and I don’t think federal agents should provoke people to engage in violence and vandalism. Too many law enforcement officers sworn to protect and serve now look and act like they are in Fallujah.

NOW we’re talking about the excesses of law enforcement. But this should have been part of the robust and ongoing conversation about our democracy’s unraveling long before Trump’s latest ICE raids.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.
