I am so sick of you I could vomit. First, this isn’t your money to give away — it’s OURS (tho’ I’m sure if u didn’t use it to bribe us you’d likely pocket it all). Second, buying votes is illegal. Third, this smacks of desperation. You know your presidency is collapsing & you’re a LOSER.

They shot Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in the back! Don't become desensitized to the violence & #ICELawlessness our own government is inflicting. Get angry. Get angry enough to take action. Turn the fear & frustration into a fire & use it to fight for our freedom! Don't scroll past this. Share!🧵

So Trump just posted this photo on “Truth Social,” his own social media outlet that makes the sewer known as X (f/k/a Twitter) look truthful and reasonable. Isn’t it now obvious that we’ve got a deranged megalomaniac in the Oval Office?

I see Trump’s got a chart on “Truth Social” purporting to rank our previous presidents. Naturally, it’s a mess. He ranks himself as the “greatest,” of course, which is as pathetic as it is absurd. But he forgets to list 11 presidents incl. Truman, Ike and Reagan! This guy can’t do anything right!

So the spineless Sen. Cassidy, who prostituted himself by supporting RFK, Jr., joins the emasculated Sens. Cornyn and Tillis in approving Blanche’s AG nomination. Since when are knowing the law and being hands-on the chief requirements? One might expect integrity to be the weightiest prerequisite.

For the second time in as many weeks I walked to my local post office to discover it was closed during regular hours. I walked to the next closest post office to find it was closed unexpectedly for lunch. Welcome to Trump’s “Golden Age.”

Remember when we had a president we were proud of who was honest, thoughtful and inspiring? Thank you, President Obama! #ObamaAppreciationDay #NoKingsDay #TrumpsUnfitforOffice

Why is NBC intertwining stories about Kimmel’s joke and the WHCD shooting as if Kimmel is responsible for Saturday evening’s act of madness? The crazed gunman was already on his way to DC when the joke was told. Looks like Trump has cowed another network!

nbcnews.comWhite House ramps up pressure on ABC to fire Jimmy Kimmel over first lady remarkSteven Cheung, the president's communications director, assailed the late-night host for not apologizing for referring to the first lady as an "expectant widow."

Lucky to have seen Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band at the Kia Forum in Inglewood last nite. It was not only a call to action, but a powerful reminder of the tools at our disposal in the fight to save our democracy — including truth, decency and community. Thanks, Boss!

This is truly heartbreaking, and as Secretary Reich points out, it’s the hallmark of this demented administration in which greed and the thirst for power for its own sake trumps integrity, progress and the public interest. These people are slime. Corruption is Trump’s template, and it must end now!

Trump removes racist video depicting the Obamas as apes www.nbcnews.com/politics/whi... How much longer are we going to allow this deranged monster to represent us? Every decent person should be demanding his Immediate removal for this and myriad other reasons. He shames us all.

nbcnews.comTrump removes racist video depicting the Obamas as apesThe White House initially defended Trump's post, saying it was "from an internet meme video." But after backlash — including from Republicans — it was removed.

Scott Adams, 'Dilbert' creator and conservative commentator, dies at 68 www.nbcnews.com/news/obituar... Sad to learn of almost anyone’s death, but sadder still that this man lived out his final years in a miserable vat of hatred, anger and cruelty. This is truly what MAGA is all about. No, thanks.

Spent much of yesterday trying to get my annual flu and COVID shots. Waited over an hour at Walgreens only to be told they weren’t covered under Medicare and I’d have to pay $1200 out of pocket. Of course, they ARE covered. Don’t take Walgreens word for anything!

Just how stupid have we become in this country? After generations of slow but meaningful progress building a more just society, we’re now on a hapless slide to the bottom at the behest of the greediest and most ignorant along us. Shame on them and shame on us!

We’re watching everything of value that this country clumsily built over 250+ years get destroyed by a tawdry collection of cheap, self-absorbed losers. They strut around like the cocks of the walk when anyone with a half a brain can see that they’re clueless, vain and empty inside. God help us.

nbcnews.comHegseth presses senior officers on 'lethality' and standards at politically charged meetingThe defense secretary and President Trump both spoke Tuesday at an unusual meeting to which Hegseth had summoned hundreds of senior officers.

OK, this bleeping sh*t has gone on too f*cking long. When a U.S. Senator (from a state with 40x the population of her little outpost) is forcibly removed from ICE Barbie’s latest cos play for trying to ask a question, it’s time to get this whole vile troupe off the stage! NOW!!! Get the hook!!

nbcnews.comSen. Alex Padilla is forcibly removed from DHS Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los AngelesNoem was in L.A. to address the ongoing demonstrations protesting President Donald Trump's immigration policies.

A mob of troublemakers is taking over the streets of my hood right now in violation of tonight’s curfew — burning rubber, throwing fireworks and cutting down trees. They should be arrested. But how can we do that after Trump pardoned the J6ers. We’re slipping into anarchy and TRUMP is to blame.

I’ve lived in DTLA for 25 years, and I’m sick of watching authorities turn every protest march into mass mayhem by constantly overreacting. Sending in hundreds of troops in riot gear under an armada of helicopters only ratchets things up. Trump created this crisis. End this madness now!

LAPD inflamed tensions in DTLA during the George Floyd demonstrations, and the posting of national guard troops will do the same thing today. I was threatened with arrest by an officer back then for trying to deliver a letter to an employee five blocks away. Trump’s spoiling for a brutal fight.

The former president diagnosed with cancer, reaches out to thank well-wishers for their love and support. The current president, who won, demands an investigation of Bruce Springsteen and Beyoncé for supporting his opponent. Who’s the better role model for us and our children?

If DOGE wants to trim some truly unnecessary spending this would be a good place to start. The irony of a draft-dodger honoring himself with a spectacle like this is too much to handle. Military parades are fine for Soviet-style tyrants and military juntas, not for a free democracy. Sickening.

mediaite.comAP Obtains Plans for Massive Military Parade on Trump’s BirthdayThe Associated Press obtained plans for a celebration of the U.S. Army's 250th anniversary on President Donald Trump's birthday, complete with helicopters and thousands of soldiers.

This is both crazy and tragic, and it’s emblematic of the neglect plaguing Downtown Los Angeles. I’ve lived here 20+ years and we hardly see police unless there’s a protest, when suddenly there are helicopters overhead and armies of cops in riot gear. Cutting down trees is sick.

ktla.comDozens of trees hacked down by vandals in downtown Los AngelesDozens of trees in downtown Los Angeles were hacked down over the weekend, according to multiple media reports and posts to social media.   It’s unclear exactly what time the destruction occur…

www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru... Mark this day well — it’s the day the U.S. became a truly lawless nation and abandoned its commitment to due process and constitutional authority. The slide into further atrocities will be swift as Nazis like Stephen Miller step out of the shadows to run the show.

nbcnews.comPresident of El Salvador says he won't return mistakenly deported man to U.S.President Nayib Bukele made the comments shortly after White House adviser Stephen Miller defended the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer claims she and DOGE discovered 28,000 people ages 1 to 5 who collected unemployment benefits since 2020, along with 10,000 people who haven’t been born yet. Is this lady for real, or was she just getting into the circus spirit at today’s cabinet mtg?
