Pritzker: To the members of the press who are assembled here today and listening across the country, I am asking for your courage to tell it like it is. This is not a time to pretend here that there are two sides to this story.
Happy birthday, @StephenM! Sorry we missed your big day yesterday.
Facts you won’t see on Fox News: Mississippi’s murder rate is 266% higher than California’s.
Agreed. And when she is no longer locked in, let’s remember to also free the Epstein files. FDT is trying to turn our attention from who is is those pedo files. We can hold two (or more) ideas and grievances at once.
I don’t know but I’d sure like to know when the Epstein files will be released.
What I would like to know is if the Epstein files are in that room.
“There was little push back from Democrats”. No kidding.
Time to watch republican lawmakers’ stock choices.

Inspired by her father’s inability to read & write Dolly started Imagination Library in 1995 for children in her county. By mailing high quality, age-appropriate books directly to homes, she wanted children to be excited about books & to feel the magic that books can create. imaginationlibrary.com
All of them are creeps.
When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.
The members of @1199seiu.org are heroes—saving lives, delivering babies, caring for all us in our time of need. I will stand with them as Mayor. So grateful to earn this endorsement from the largest healthcare union in the country.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.
Isaiah Hodgson, who arrested 2 U.S. citizens, including 20-year-old Adrian Martinez at Walmart and Job Garcia at Home Depot, is accused of entering the women’s restroom and approaching a female while intoxicated and armed with a handgun. lataco.com/border-patro... by @shoton35mm.bsky.social
Alina Habba in Feb: “On Epstein, it’s incredibly disturbing. We have flight logs, info, names that will come out. There were so many names hidden who had not been held accountable. Now it’s time for accountability. I really believe with Kash and Pam there will be accountability.”
Again: the scandal isn’t anything Zohran did, it is the story itself @nytimes.com
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
The only good news I’ve heard today.
Well, today’s news sucks. But this was a little bright spot for me. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...
welp, I guess the nation's largest city is no longer free to elect a mayor of its choosing
And she doesn’t give a fuck.
He reads??!!!
At least we will identify MAGAts by smell as well as sight now.
Everything is high - as high as Trump is while on whatever he is sniffing.
Murdered. She was murdered.
Lisa Murkowski cuts a last minute deal solely to benefit Alaska, exempting it from some of the more odious parts of the bill to secure her vote and sell out the rest of the US. Yeah this stuff sucks and hurts a lot of people, but I got Alaskans exempted so the hell with you.
Ooooo. That will show them.
MUST WATCH: Oceanside CA: Militarized DHS (HSI) smashed windows, assault rifles drawn, tossed flashbangs and sent drones into the apartment which had 2 kids inside. They then told neighbors they were going to use tear gas, and they’d probably be exposed. Please share widely. WTF
I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.
Don’t ruin Billy Idol for me.
Senator Murphy coming out of private briefing on the attack on Iran’s nuclear sites: It still appears that we have only set back the Iranian nuclear program by a handful of months… the allegations that we have obliterated their program just don’t seem to stand up…
Breaking: After a classified briefing with Cabinet officials, Sen. Chris Murphy says: "I walk away from that briefing still under the belief that we have not obliterated the programs." "The president was deliberately misleading the public when he said the program was obliterated."
The American Academy of Pediatrics will no longer participate in ACIP (vaccine advisory group), as it views the body as politicized and no longer credible. infoepi.substack.com/p/pediatric...
Anyone there? @schiff.senate.gov @pelosi.house.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @padilla.senate.gov @warren.senate.gov
That one person can drag us into a war without consulting or even notifying Congress, or our allies, or fully explaining to the American people why this is necessary, is absolutely bonkers. Reminder that Congress has the power to stop all of this. Where the hell are they? Hello?
Because they don’t give a 💩 about kids.
Suddenly it makes sense. How could MAGA be so cold about deporting moms & dads with their kids crying? They also don’t care about sending their own kids into a bogus war. They only care about $$ and the need to follow their leader. They care about no one & will sacrifice anyone including their kids.
Don’t worry, everyone! Chuck Schumer is writing a sternly worded letter as we speak!! Then it’s off to another billionaire’s wedding on Martha’s Vineyard.
As long as Susan Collins is frowning and concerned, too.
Wishing this was true. Maybe we can send ICE to Iran?
They are proud boys turned bounty hunters. Expose a few of their identities to the community.
If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.
•Court ruled: Trump can keep Guard control temporarily (appeal granted). •Court also ruled: Trump’s claim of total, unreviewable power is not true—courts do have oversight. •Newsom’s takeaway: It’s a win for judicial authority, but not yet a win on bringing the Guard back under state control.
What an idiotic statement.
damn -- Duckworth to Hegseth: "If you want to be the DHS secretary, maybe you can apply for that job when you're fired from this one due to your incompetence."
He’s going to do it to distract us from the Big, Butt-ugly Bill.
We were promised peace through strength and we got wars from incompetence.
It’s a distraction. Typical of what he does. This time, he may not be able to stop it from fruition.
Donald Trump does NOT want you to share this footage of his pathetically tiny birthday parade crowd.
Hell of a parade. 🙄 I used to love going to parades as a kid - seeing everyone in their suits and heels. Sitting upright in the chairs. Not making a peep. Give me this rather than the joyous, music filled, loving parades/marches across the US today. /s
They are doing the Lord’s work.
Newsom: "He's been a stone cold liar about what he said we talked about. He never discussed the National Guard. Period. Full stop. I would love to share with you what he actually talked about. It would send shivers up your spine."
She’s getting her pencil sharpened to write a strongly worded letter.
Senator Padilla’s office sends me this video of his take-down and detention at Sec. Noem’s press conference in L.A.
This is over the top madness! What are we coming to in this country? The land of the free and home of the brave has become the land of the king and home of the distressed. We must act to preserve our freedom!
Why isn’t this coming from @schumer.senate.gov and @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social? Or did I miss it - honest question.
“There’s no recording allowed out here.” I just grabbed this uncredited off Facebook. Does anyone know who recorded it? I want to make sure they get proper credit.
Mad respect for @padilla.senate.gov. We all know what ICE Barbie was afraid of.
Wow. California Sen. Alex Padilla is wrestled and detained by federal officers after showing up to DHS Sec. Kristi Noem's press conference in LA. (video from Bill Melugin of Fox News)
I give @padilla.senate.gov a lot of criticism but he deserves a ton of respect for what he went through and the way he handled it. He’s all in now and I support him 100%. Your turn @schiff.senate.gov.
Newsom on Trump: "He's lost it. He hasn't lost a step. And I saw him trip on the steps today. This is serious. He is not the same person that I dealt with just four years ago. And he's incapable now of even a train of thought. He's making things up and he's putting people's lives at risk."
@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social You are part of this problem. Everybody who has more than 2 viable brain cells slams RFK for this and more. How are you reporting on this without giving credibility to the stupidity of this regime?
WATCH: “Holy f*ck — They literally just shot her point blank… I live here…” @lapdhq shoot a woman trying to get to her apartment at point blank range with a rubber bullet. Alexandria’s page (the woman who helps her): www.tiktok.com/@labyrinthlo...
It’s cute how you think there will be a 2026 election.
Ok - @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov - where are you? Anyone? Anyone? Beuller?
@ericswalwell.bsky.social WTH?
Newsom: Trump, he's not opposed to lawlessness and violence as long as it serves him. What more evidence do we need than January 6th?
I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.
Says the guy in his suit in a chauffeur driven car.
And @schiff.senate.gov posts from the back of his luxe car in a suit. He needs to be leading from all directions.
OMG. Another nominee lied. But they pinky promised!!!
Here's an opportunity for a Democrat to emerge as the leader of the party and frontrunner for 2028. Here's your moment. We need fighters.
The saying “when you poop on yourself, you are going to stink” comes to mind.
Newsom: Just moments ago, they called up an additional 2,000 National Guard troops. So now it’s 4,000 total—of which only 300 have actually been operationalized. And guess what? Yesterday, LAPD had to use their already scarce resources to protect those National Guardsmen and women…
Meeting with local and state officials to discuss strategies to maintain the peace in Los Angeles. State and local leaders are standing together to clean Trump’s mess and pick up the pieces to ensure the safety of our communities.
What a shock. /s
Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?" The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.
Let’s get a list going of every mainstream news reporter failing to report on this. Years later, when people ask “how could something like that happen?”, I want a clear memory of those who failed to take their obligation to report truthfully.
Jeffries: "We will not be lectured by Donald Trump and anyone in the Republican Party about issues of law and order ... he pardoned hundreds of violent felons, criminals, who brutally assaulted police officers and attacked the Capitol on January 6. That's what Donald Trump did on day one."
Newsom: "Arrest me. Let's just get it over with, tough guy. I don't give a damn ... Tom, arrest me. Let's go."
That fall popped all his neck rolls out and everything. Tough day.
We need a new Tapper book and wall-to-wall major-media coverage STAT
Did you have your intern write this as you vacation again? We hear nothing from you until now and it’s a condescending post about taking the high road. Ask AOC if you can borrow her spine for a while.
If you agree, please share!
Reports and video show flash-bangs thrown into piles of debris just before a car caught fire, strongly suggesting it was law enforcement, not protesters, who sparked it. More details are coming. Don’t let them control the narrative. Thank you to everyone sharing footage, always record everything.
Have been paying attention.
👇👇
Including @schiff.senate.gov and @padilla.senate.gov
I don't care if these monstrous ICE raids are a "federal operation". This is authoritarian violence, plain and simple. Just because Stephen Miller has kidnapping quotas for brown people he doesn't want to see on the street doesn't mean we have to think it's okay.
@padilla.senate.gov @schiff.senate.gov Your silence is deafening.
@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Where are you?
Why aren’t our Senators speaking out?
