Schiff: "In the first administration, there were at least a few people in the cabinet of some independence who could say, 'No, Mr. President, that's a lawless idea, that's a stupid idea.' But there's no one in this current admin to tell POTUS 'that's a stupid idea'... there's nothing but sycophants"

I love seeing the massive #NoKings turnouts in major cities, but what I love even more are the hundreds and hundreds of small, rural towns that had relatively bigger turnouts compared to their populations 💙🙏

Karen Bass: "There is no comparison [with the 1992 riots]. And unfortunately that is what is being pushed, as though the city is in chaos, there's civil unrest everywhere. For most Angelenos, they're like, 'What city are they describing?' They are definitely not describing Los Angeles."

We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

He will punish us because millions marched against him and so few showed up to his narcissist parade, you could hear the tanks squeaking. Once again crowd size will embarrass him. He’ll punish us and then he back down a little. Because he’s weak and unwell.

Today, and every day, I’m proud to fly the American flag. To me, the flag represents freedom, unity, and opportunity. I believe our country is still a land of opportunity and our best days are ahead of us. I believe that despite the division we face, we are still united by the Stars and Stripes.
