Look, you can't expect LAPD to see someone lying on the ground and _not_ beat the shit out of them. That's what they do. They've been famous for beating the shit out of people lying on the ground for my entire adult life.

Truth-tellers, not rioters. Protect these two men at all costs. “You feel tough with your assault rifles and your sticks. You should be standing here with us. You’re on the wrong side of history.” “John Lewis said make good trouble… that means make trouble on behalf of democracy.”

The Qatari jet bribe saves NO MONEY, because Trump keeps it after he’s president! Democrats, why arent you making it clear to any nation bribing Trump or hosting American prisoners, that there will be hell to pay when Dems are in charge?! Discourage further corruption!

Menendez Jr: They feel no weight of the law and no restraint on what they should be doing. And that was shown in broad daylight today when they not just arrested the Mayor of Newark but when they put their hands on two members of congress standing behind me. How is this acceptable?

I'm proud to announce Rivian is constructing a new supplier park in Normal — creating jobs and attracting investments from across the globe to Illinois. We aren’t just making EVs, we're creating an entire ecosystem that bolsters our workforce and strengthens the EV supply chain.

This dude is a loon. He's simultaneously talking about creating factory jobs and using AI and automation, the latter of which is one reason there aren't as many factory jobs as there used to be. Also, this whole idea of Americans longing for the days when they could work in a factory is ludicrous.

Lutnick: "We invent the iPhone, which is awesome. Why do we let everyone else build it? Why can't we build it here? ... we need hundreds of thousands of Americans who work in those factories."

Imagine if when we invaded Iraq, three years in we only took a sliver of the country at the cost of 800,000 men. Would the conventional wisdom be that we are winning? No? Then why do some think Russia is?

Horrific They raided the wrong house. They were all US citizens Put the little girls in PJ’s outside in the rain Took all their cash and belongings Denied ever being there That’s our FBI, US Marshals and DHS

I’ve watched too many of these raids to count. This one is one of the most infuriating in recent memory. Appropriate that we learn about it on the same day SCOTUS hears oral arguments for a case that may remove the last remaining way to hold federal agents accountable for this kind of terror.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

Your kids get a max of two toys and then grow up to work in the same factory as their father and grandfather screwing in tiny screws. It’s called The American Dream.

Raskin: The lowest 100 day approval rating since polling began. He controlled the agenda. He controlled the House, the Senate— he’s got everything going for him and his numbers are in the gutter

Here's my new hobby. Seeing how many people lose their health coverage if Republicans pass their $880 billion in Medicaid cuts. In David Valadao's district 67,000 constituents lose their coverage. 67,000!

europe has many wonderful foodways (i love greece and greek cuisine!) but “european food is uniformly better than american food” is a crock of shit and only holds if your knowledge of american food and foodways is what you’ve seen on TV

Jon Cryer: I have Trump supporters in my family—I feel for them on some level, because we in the entertainment industry created this guy. We built up this image of a billionaire, this brilliant businessman, and it was never him. He was always kind of a moron...

This is a good move by @govpritzker.illinois.gov. More states should do this to send a message to Pres. Bukele that there is a price to pay for complicity in Trump’s unconstitutional abduction of Abrego Garcia. And American tourists should go elsewhere until he is given due process.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

The US Constitution guarantees due process. Donald Trump is eroding it in real time – we must fight back to restore the balance of power. Today, I’m announcing a series of measures against El Salvador for aiding his unconstitutional deportation scheme.
