I truly do not care if Joe Walsh "became" a Democrat. He's anti-Trump and that's great, but, what he wants to do is make the Democratic Party into what he wanted the Republican Party to be. Sorry, man, you failed once, you don't get to do it to the Dems now, too.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

Call me crazy, but i feel like people in the political establishment, such as Senator Sanders, could do a much better job of vetting the candidates they endorse. Once they weigh in, their legions of followers turn off their brains.

He keeps saying he's paying for it because he's a liar but also because he wants to claim the White House is his and either not move out ever or extort the government for more money later.

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can also be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth.”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

CA: due to recent USPS changes, mail in ballots in some places may not be postmarked the day they are mailed but will instead be postmarked a day later. Ballots must be postmarked by election day to be counted. Mail in your ballot early or use a ballot drop box to make sure your voice is heard.

Does anyone need a reminder that Alex Acosta, who gave Jeffrey Epstein the notorious "sweetheart deal" the first time his crimes were exposed became Trump's first labor secretary (until he was forced to resign when Julie K. Brown of the Miami Herald exposed the whole thing in 2018).

I've seen a lot of sucking up during my decades in the corporate world but this has to be the most pathetic display I've ever seen

When so called "centrists" tell Democrats such as "stop saying woke", it basically means "abandon your policies and core constituents". They don't want to help us. They want Democrats to become what the conservatives were in 1980. It's not our fault their party went nuts and left them without party.

Let the blowback happen bc it bloody needs to.

It is really telling that billionaires have enough to buy anything they want and the thing they want is fascism.

I don't mean to sound hysterical but there are some pretty clear historical examples of "force the urban-dwellers to the farms," and none of them are great.

It's important to highlight the risk of losing our democracy but I feel like those concerned about it vastly underestimate how many people actually like authoritarianism. There are many who would take clean sidewalks and "order" over civil liberties in a heartbeat.

The most Los Angeles sign ever. And it’s true.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

This is the spirit of Los Angeles. This is California. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. #FreeDavidEndRaids

State troops sent to Los Angeles by the Trump administration, without the approval of California Gov. Gavin Newsom, were expected to sleep on floors or outdoors, a source told the Chronicle.

"You just f---ing shot the reporter!"

When you start critiquing the behavior of the oppressed in service of appeasing their oppressor, you have already surrendered power to the oppressor to set the boundaries of what behavior is acceptable

You cannot play director or choreographer for moments of organic mobilization. I'm sorry, but even someone who understands the dynamics of what's happening (which many of you clearly don't) cannot do that. This is raw political will. You cannot direct that energy from behind a fucking screen.

The Mexican flag has been used in LA protests to make clear who the community belongs to. Here's @tinavasquez.bsky.social for The Flytrap about the proliferation of Mexican flags in her neighborhood in North Carolina as resistance to anti-immigrant policies. theflytrap.beehiiv.com/p/the-quiet-...

my humble opinion is that if your job is to manage risk and make big decisions about markets and you screw up your judgement this badly you should be disqualified from ever managing money and also shunned completely from speaking on the subject in public again

To calculate the correct tariff numbers, the administration took the number of years Trump has been a criminal, divided it by the number of women he's sexually assaulted, and multiplied it by his number of wives. Hey, it works as well as ivermectin on covid. www.salon.com/2025/04/03/t...

Pete Hegseth is a f*cking liar. This is so clearly classified info he recklessly leaked that could’ve gotten our pilots killed. He needs to resign in disgrace immediately.

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

I wouldn't buy a cra from either of these idiots. We're doomed. Thanks MAGA.

the thing about chasing what you think is public opinion is that if and when things turn you will have made a bunch of statements and taken a bunch of stances that you’ll have to disavow. probably a better strategy just to say what you actually believe and stand by it. anyway, this guy sucks.
