By the way a military parade when we’re not celebrating a war victory is something a dude who never served would do.

Donald, you seem to have forgotten you promised your voters you would stop that war. You don’t get to back out of that promise just because it’s hard. You owe it to your voters. Don’t worry about Harris/Walz voters. We knew you wouldn’t lift a finger.

look, I may not agree with everything our president says, but I will defend to the death his right to be impeached, removed from office, arrested, stripped of his wealth, tried for his crimes and thrown straight the fuck into prison

@jonlovett.bsky.social on Trump's tariffs: "It is only possible because Republicans refuse to take back the power that they have... The problem is not that we put the worst human being in public life in the most powerful job in the world, it is that he is enabled by Republicans around him."

A reminder: Both sheriffs and local police have the right to refuse ICE detainers. These requests are voluntary and not legally enforceable under federal law. Across the country, many sheriffs and police departments choose not to cooperate and that choice is fully within their legal rights.

Donald Trump recently hit the media circuit to make his case to, or perhaps, to plead with the American people, as polls show the majority of them aren’t on board with his extreme agenda and chaotic course for the country. www.vanityfair.com/news/story/d...

Donald Trump’s Excuses Are Falling Flat
He’s blaming Biden, droning on about dolls, and failing to say he’ll uphold the Constitution. Such head-scratching spin is unlikely to improve his sinking polls.

Allow me to address the elephant in the room: The decades-long outsourcing of domestic manufacturing to China was not an insidious Chinese conspiracy for dominance but the greedy strategy of the American ruling class to explode its profit margins by exploiting global inequality.

Tariffs are taxation without representation. We wrote a whole Declaration of Independence about it. Threw tea in the harbor and everything.

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Judge James Boasberg has got that kind of "You're no different than anyone else, MF's!" mojo that every judge before him should have demonstrated over the years...but didn't. Those judges all dropped the ball...HARD. Boasberg, he's like, "Yeah...fuck it. Let's play ball."

Glad House Dems are demanding a full briefing—because immigration agents showed up at L.A. elementary schools, and DHS lied about it. Watch the video. Hear the truth from L.A.’s superintendent. Then ask why the hell Homeland Security is targeting kids. Don’t let this go!!!
