Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

Trump former Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said Iran is dangerous with a nuke because they are fanatics with radical religious beliefs. Sounds more like a confession about why Trump and MAGA shouldn’t have the nuclear codes.

One good thing about today in Los Angeles is that the mainstream media was onsite *before* the police started rioting. So many news crews saying "the crowd here in LA is totally peaceful" right before LAPD and LA Sheriff started shooting and trampling people

Newsom: Police should police—not the military. That’s what happens in third-world countries, and that’s exactly what Donald Trump is trying to impose on the American people: a mindset of militarization, power, dominance, and control—not the rule of law. This is a very, very serious moment.

This was the plan the entire time and it was always going to be targeted towards Democratic run cities. It’s not about law and order. It’s about controlling by force the areas where Trump does not control by ideology.
