Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine." #cdnpoli

SHUT. IT. DOWN. A senator was dragged out of a press conference for standing up for his constituents and against fascism. Watch how your representatives and senators respond to their own colleague being treated like this. That'll show you how they'll react when it's you on the ground.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

NONE OF THIS IS NORMAL. Thank you Senator Padilla for defending your constituents and showing exactly what Kristi Noem and this administration stand for.

This is disgusting. If this is how they treat Alex Padilla, a United States Senator, how do you think they’ll treat you?

The Conservatives keep saying that GC Strategies were “Liberal insiders” when the Auditor General did not say that, and CBSA (which is an arm’s-length agency) contracted them, not the government. #QP

BESSENT: We inherited this fiscal situation-- BENNET: You inherited it from Donald Trump! He's the first president to come back after a four year hiatus after we know exactly what the last tax cuts did, which was blow a massive hole in our deficits and debt. You can't sit here and lie about that!

holy shit -- GOP Rep. Mike Turner tries to "help out" Hegseth by getting him to confirm that the Pentagon does not in fact have plans to take Greenland by force, but Hegseth instead more or less testifies that yep, they have devised plans for that

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."

It is 100% carrying water for the opposition to participate in this collective delusion that Dems for some reason need to answer for every teen who throws a rock rather than hold the Trump admin accountable for intentionally creating chaos and breaking the law to stoke violence. They are in charge.

"Bothsidesism is 'suicide for democracy.' In becoming stenographers rather than reporters, journalists effectively legitimize MAGA lies, hate, and fascism as just one reasonable side of a debate in which all partisans are equally credible."

We HAVE to be able to acknowledge and analyze criticism of elected officials without just immediately resorting to saying, "Well they're better than [opponent who didn't win the election]." Cool! Very true! And luckily they didn't win, so let's focus on the people who did and how they can do better!

I think it's time for some states to break away from the US. Some may be able to join Canada, but more likely, they would just form their own nation(s). Blue states would leave and flourish, while Red states would go bankrupt.
