"You have to run to the center or you'll lose" (Loses election) "You have to run to the center or you'll lose" (Country is overthrown) "You have to run to the center or you'll lose" (Is drifting through space alongside Earth's remains) "You have to run to the center or you'll lose"

Mike Lee’s reprehensible behavior and comments on MN and so many other things are not just about Lee, they are a reflection of the lack of moral character of every voter in UT who put him there, & every cowardly Republican colleague and the Mormon Church who refuse to say a word.

Trump is the head of a criminal syndicate, and he should be treated accordingly. https://trib.al/qaWLffn

I'm trying to imagine a Democratic president saying openly and proudly that he would be sending federal agents to target the 'Republican Power Center' in Texas, Florida, and Tennessee. We would be in the midst of a civil war before he'd finished saying those words.

This is a United States Senator mocking the assassination of a Minnesota legislator and her husband. He pretends to be a good Mormon. He’s a sick fuck.

political press is doing a real disservice by basically not reporting the nuances of public opinion on deportations, and creating the appearance that most americans support the stephen miller-style gestapo tactics

It is firmly in the “somebody’s making an active decision to downplay this” territory.

A Democratic Mayor arrested. A Democratic Congresswoman indicted. A Democratic Senator tackled and detained. A Democratic State Representative killed. A Democratic State Representative in critical condition. We can all see where this is going.

Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

Whether it's Democrats putting flyers on Chris Cillizza’s Tesla or Republicans assassinating Democratic lawmakers, it's time for both sides to turn down the temperature.

There is only one side in American politics that consistently supports and endorses political violence. People need to stop being afraid to say so.

Dear MAGA, We've seen this movie before. This isn't 1968. At the end of this, what remains is due process, Constitutionality and love of country. You don't love your country. You love having power and fear losing it. The world is watching. Your 15 minutes are almost up. Love, The Rest Of Us

The "I'll lower costs and get us out of endless wars" candidate is now presiding over surging costs and brand new wars.

SCOOP: Trump's military parade is being organized by some of the same MAGA political operatives who organized the rally that preceded the January 6 riot. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

<thread> On the left: June 12, Judge Breyer writing that THE test for whether the US Marines/Guard violate Posse Comitatus will be whether they've engaged in "detaining" civilians. On the right: June 13: See for yourself. Note: The DoD has confirmed the detention of civilian to Reuters.

On 6/12, DHS Sec’y Kristi Noem said “We are staying here to liberate [LA] from the socialists and the burdensome leadership this governor and mayor have placed on this country and this city.” This use of military force to displace a democratically elected is the very definition of a coup.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

Not sure if y’all remember. Congress was already gonna sign an immigration reform bill a few mknths before the last election. But SOMEONE wanted to run on ‘the border’. Again. He creates a crisis. Then does…..this…

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

The sole criteria I will be voting on in the 2028 primary is which candidate credibly promises to put the largest number of Trump officials in prison. I do not care about any of their other policies.

A bunch of retired senior military officers, including Michael Hayden, are seeking to submit an amicus opposing Trump's use of Marines and Guard to invade CA. www.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

The disparity btwn what’s actually happening in Los Angeles and the way it’s being mischaracterized is one of the biggest stress tests of modern media in recent memory. Botted socials, AI, old clips, declining literacy—it’s like seeing a broken emergency response system hit by a storm.

Imagine spending your whole life cos-playing and fantasizing about fighting the federal government sending troops in against its own citizens only to root for the government when the moment finally arrives

In the next civil war, "the dividing line will not be Mason and Dixon, but between patriotism and intelligence on the one side, and superstition, ambition, and ignorance on the other." - Ulysses S. Grant, 1875

This is a superb speech by @governor.ca.gov just now. Clear. Strong. Simple. Direct. Angry—in a way that appeals to the best in people, not the worst. Seven plus minutes of the most effective rhetoric in response to Trump. This is how you want a leader to talk. www.youtube.com/watch?v=linJ...
