Watching the CA governor debate because I hate myself. Takeaways so far: Chad Bianco: “Homelessness isn’t about homes. But, affordability is about gas prices, which aren’t high because of the Iran war that raised prices 50% in the state.” Steve Hilton gives wee Bond villain Who tf is Matt Mahan?

JACKSON MERRILL WINS IT! THE @PADRES SCORE FIVE IN THE BOTTOM OF THE 9TH!!!

Jackson Merrill is fucking electric

DAIRY FUCKING BONDS

The thing is… farmers are indeed getting fucked

Wandy gonna wandy.

Shoutout to the MAGA collecting signatures about the CA mileage tax proposal while there’s a gas station across the street charging $6.50 a gallon because the guy on his hat is spending $1B a day on a war to make oil more expensive. Cognitive dissonance Olympics out here.

The DOW’s going to open way under 50,000 so can we investigate pedophiles again?

Three cheers for the sources that give great quotes. And also for @mollytaft.com @wired.com. Link to story below

What a disgraceful moment for the IOC. Russia is banned from the Olympics for invading Ukraine. But an athlete can’t honor friends of his killed in the war?

Minnesota still needs your attention

The party of law and order continues to wipe its ass with the constitution.

SHABOOZEY: “Immigrants built this country.”

To every doomer and cynic that says speaking up doesn’t make a difference, a little boy is home with his father because people stood up for him. Is Liam going home enough? Absolutely not. But it absolutely does matter.

The Trump admin’s whole case regarding Haitians in Ohio is racism, xenophobia, and lies. There’s literally nothing else to it. Legal status, proper papers. No criminal record. Employers, neighbors, local leaders say they’re a benefit to the community. It’s showy, bigoted cruelty, nothing more.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning. Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

They’re taking kids from Minnesota and sending them to detention camps. They’re shooting American citizens in the street and locking investigators out of the crime scenes. The world is watching what happens next.

Love is not dead

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.

Claw it back. Remove Miller and Noem.

"It’s time to wake up. Trump seems keen on influencing the vote in states that will decide margins in 2026 and the outcome in 2028. And that he has the FBI participating in his effort is a terrifying demonstration of just how many guardrails he has steamrolled..." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

NEW: Liam Conejo Ramos, the 5-year-old who ICE agents in Minneapolis nabbed last week and shipped off to a Texas detention facility with his dad, is now in poor health, his school superintendent told me today www.huffpost.com/entry/liam-c...

uhhh wtf

Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, Greg Bovino. They must all resign and be held accountable.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera. Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

They won’t investigate the murders of Good or Pretti, but they’ll investigate fake 2020 election fraud. www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

Rep. Buddy Carter (also a Senate candidate) is reading the room and calling for Trump thugs to invade Atlanta. Bold strategy.

Uh. So ICE just technically tried to invade Ecuador. Cool new international incident dropping.

This kind of intellectual firepower is usually only found at unaccredited colleges in Austin

You can’t tell me we have a functioning economic system when the richest man in human history is one of the most profoundly stupid people in human history

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

I will end this by saying: dismantle DHS starting with ICE and CBP, fire anyone that has had anything to do with Trump Admin immigration enforcement no questions asked...as soon as you actually have the power to do that.

Attn: Dem leadership. This isn’t an excuse to fold on DHS funding.

Of course he does. Is this a joke? He defended the guy who killed Good. He’s told multiple people that he thinks protesters should be attacked. He told people at a rally to rough someone up. He’s said nothing as ICE has hurt people for months. He doesn’t get to walk away from this now.

STATEMENT FROM THE NATIONAL BASKETBALL PLAYERS ASSOCIATION (NBPA) AND ITS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ON THE FATAL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS BY ICE

Minnesota National Guard members have arrived at a federal building and were directed to distribute donuts, coffee, and hot chocolate to anti-ICE protesters. Guard members were issued reflective vests so they would not be mistaken for federal agents.

Kudos to the NYT editor who took “Appears to” out of the lead headline (finally)

Not the Onion: MN National Guard is having to de-militarize their appearance to make sure they’re not confused with immigration agents.

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

DHS is managing to do war crimes without being at war. No wonder Hegseth approves.

A doctor who witnessed the shooting submits a sworn declaration in federal litigation to halt ICE surge in MN: "I did not see him attack the agents or brandish a weapon of any kind." and "The victim had at least three bullet wounds in his back." Read storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

People should not have to be perfect victims to not be murdered by the state or by a racist game show host and his lawless den of jackals and elite pedophile cover up conspiracists, but still HOLY SHIT MAN
