I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

"To Mr. Cuomo, I've never had to resign in disgrace. I've never cut Medicaid. I have never stolen hundreds of millions of dollars from the MTA. I have never hounded the thirteen women who credibly accused me of sexual harassment. I have never sued for their gynecological records." - Zohran just now.

The oppression of the entire Latino community of Los Angeles right now is difficult to convey. Normally vibrant local retail areas of East LA and SELA look like ghost towns this week. People are afraid to leave their homes. Parents afraid to go to work. It's US citizens too. Anyone with brown skin

My dad lives in SELA. He is a Mexican immigrant with an accent. He is sad and angry and afraid to travel. But he wants to protest and I’ve had to talk him out of it; I’ve had to tell him that they will crack his head open and it doesn’t matter that he’s 74 or a U.S. citizen.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

God bless the woman who yelled ‘that’s a lie’ when Mike Johnson started lying about Alex Padilla. More of that please and thank you.

I may have spent more time in South Dakota through the Rise of Kristi Noem than some other national reporters. Sadly, her Trump-Barbie cosplay does not come as a surprise.

I live in Los Angeles. Most have no idea anything is happening -- if not for the press. LA County population is larger than 40 states. Max protest crowd (10k? 15k?) easily topped by soccer matches. Pride parade at least 10x crowd AT SAME TIME. Protests matter but fed response more insurrection-y.

Important context for coverage of Sen. Padilla's getting manhandled and cuffed today at DHS Sec Noem's press conference: Padilla is ranking member on the Senate subcommittee that oversees immigration.

Note that the NYT write up mentions Noem saying that she spoke to him (reasonable!), but not the part where she claims he didn’t identify himself (liar!). Perhaps because the previous paragraph would have made it awkward to quote the lie. It also uses “lunged” and “disrupted” so

Every word of this is a lie. The facts: ✅There are approx 15 childhood vaccines, not 69-92 ✅Every vaccine is safety tested then continually monitored ✅ACIP members are required to divest financial interests related to vaccines & recuse when conflicts exist ✅His new members are anti-vaxxers 1/

I know these comparisons are tiring but: Imagine if the Secret Service and FBi wrestled Tom Cotton or Josh Hawley to the ground and cuffed them for interrupting Sec. Mayorkas speaking at a press conference?! The impeachment articles would fly! And in fact, they DID impeach Mayorkas for less….

schumer and jeffries have consistently been behind the curve every single crisis all year. it would be irrational not to demand a change in leadership. how can we trust them to get the response to the next crisis right, or the one after that? the stakes are only getting higher. ridiculous
