My thoughts exactly! #NoKings

#nokings Tucson,AZ

Swear her in! #nokings

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation. youtu.be/9OBdjsGntQI?...

Another HUGE reason to go to a #NoKings protest tomorrow is because these fascist losers DON'T want you to. To hell with them. No Kings, NEVER.

They’ve canceled visas and deported people for much less. But when it’s their own, we’re all supposed to sweep it under the rug and move on.

It’s weird how the “young” Republicans are actually full-grown men and JD Vance treats them as children who shouldn’t face consequences for their racism, misogyny, or xenophobia. But pregnant 12-year-old little girls are treated as adults and must literally bear the consequences of rape and incest.

You can say amazing things if you know that the follow-up question will be "wow." (Smith didn't plant anything at Mar-a-Lago because he was hired months after it was searched.)

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

“A soldier knows what to do when they encounter another soldier. But an air-humping frog?”

If an entire large city was on fire I’d think the president would be expected to go there to tour the damage.

Republicans, do your job. #TrumpShutUSDown

MIT rejects "compact" proposed by the Trump administration. MIT prez wrote: it "would restrict freedom of expression and our independence as an institution" and "is inconsistent with our core belief that scientific funding should be based on scientific merit alone." orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Come and get me.

This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly: newrepublic.com/article/2014...

Pritzker: "This guy is unhinged. He's insecure. He's a wannabe dictator. And there's one thing I really want to say to Donald Trump. If you come for my people, you come through me. So come and get me."

In my “Fine, I’ll do it myself” - era.

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops"). Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

PLAYBOOK: “.. Fine dining on the first night of a government shutdown? Those Democratic attack lines almost write themselves.” @politico.com www.politico.com/newsletters/...

“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.”… “Stuff was everywhere…people’s birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”

Surreal moment for America. Needless to say, if the normal police ever pulled something like this — pulling every single person out of an apartment building and handcuffing them to run warrant checks — they would be sued into oblivion. Yet ICE is going to get away with it entirely.

My god. “Watson said she saw agents dragging residents, including kids, out of the building without any clothes on and into U-Haul vans. Kids were separated from their mothers…’It was heartbreaking to watch…seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.’”

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

America First. Really? Trump says we have to throw 15 million Americans off healthcare and significantly raise ACA premiums because we don’t have enough money. But somehow we have $20 billion to bailout the right-wing regime of Argentina? We can’t let that happen.

News --> Steve Bannon tells me he fully expects Trump to use the Texas ICE office shooting as the hook to unleash law enforcement on liberal immigration groups by connecting political violence to anti-ICE rhetoric. This is going to get ugly. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2009...

“.. We have a term: ‘groceries.' It's an old term but it means basically what you're buying, food. It’s a pretty accurate term, but it's an old fashioned sound — but groceries are down."

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Dutch late night TV has its take

How is it that Jimmy Kimmel gets fired for his statement but the news media can repeat exactly what he said all day long without any pushback?

IMPORTANT PERSPECTIVE: What I have not seen anyone discussing is that Nexstar pulling Kimmel, forcing ABC’s hand, comes as Nexstar is leading the way for the industry on trying to get FCC approval for media consolidation. www.poynter.org/business-wor...

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

This is Hollywood's McCarthy Moment. This is the litmus test. Learn from history. Who will step up and fight? Who will bend the knee and be complicit? History will remember.

Question for the white liberals who have written columns praising Charlie Kirk in the name of "free speech." Where are you columns actually DEFENDING THE FREE SPEECH of people who are being fired for [checks notes] quoting Charlie Kirk? (Which most of you white praisers didn't have the guts to do)

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

Started/Going in Louisiana 368 cases of whooping cough 63 hospitalized, of whom 75% vaccines not up to date, and 41 were infants

GOP greatly overestimates the number of fucks GenX and younger give about Bill Clinton.

Dem consultants out there saying "voters won't care unless it affects their daily life" even as we are living through an extended nationwide hysteria about trans girls in high school sports, an issue which affects literally maybe a dozen Americans.

It’s wild living in the Information Age and the Dark Age at the same time.

At some point, someone's going to ask them why, if all this free money is coming in, they are ending all our medical research and taking food away from hungry children, right?

The Trump administration is running Russian-style active measures…in Greenland www.bbc.com/news/article...

Trump looks like hammered dogshit these days. His ankles are horribly swollen, he's got a weird discoloration on his hand, his eyes are glazed over and he's not even wearing a necktie in the Oval Office anymore. He's rambling more than ever and seems deeply out of it. But Joe Biden, huh.

Reporter Eddie Kim went downtown to cover the detainment of an immigrant by ICE this morning. Then he was pepper-sprayed in the face by an ICE agent standing a foot away. Completely unprovoked. See our exclusive story and video from @eddiekimx.bsky.social here: sf.gazetteer.co/i-reported-f...

Here is how the media should be reporting this morning's news. As part of a growing pattern of political retribution, Donald Trump's FBI has raided the home of a prominent administration critic. In this instance it happens to be John Bolton. The pretense is largely irrelevant.

Trump obviously hates the troops.

I want to congratulate leading Democrats’ for their insistence on saying the takeover of DC is a “stunt” or a “distraction.” It’s a rare trifecta of intellectual failure, political stupidity, and moral obtuseness.

This guy's a vet and a lawyer who threw a sandwich and offered to turn himself in, so they sent a paramilitary platoon with a camera crew. They have FBI and U.S. Marshal badges; apparently those agencies do no real work beyond camera stunts, harassing minorities, and filling concentration camps.
