“I have the right to do anything I want to do—I’m the president of the United States,” says the lawless and unfettered Trump musing about being a dictator. This is what John Roberts, the Supreme Court’s supermajority and over 77 million Americans have done to our beloved country.
EX AMBASSADOR TO RUSSIA MCFAUL: “Putin doesn't look at all of this stuff as a sign of strength. He looks at it as a sign of weakness. He had to do absolutely nothing to get this meeting. Putin has gained everything and given nothing in return.”
This must be so conflicting for Donald. He hates being trolled but can’t help admire how smart Gavin sounds.
I lived in Long Beach for 17 years, including while you were mayor, grew up in Costa Mesa, and taught in South Santa Ana for 29 years. Glad you’ll be there to represent the places of my heart!
My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad
Absolutely surreal to watch White House reporters ask Leavitt questions about tariffs moments after she and Gabbard used this briefing to baselessly accuse Obama of crimes punishable by death. We’re a sick joke of a country.
Wouldn’t be the first time.
Trump knows his agenda is wildly unpopular, so instead of selling it, he’s doing what he does best: cheat. His plan? Push red states to redraw their congressional maps to wipe out Democratic seats and lock in a GOP House majority. First up: Texas with a special legislative session set for next week.
it's remarkably bleak that Trump has been accused of sexual misconduct by dozens of women, including an allegation that was adjudicated and in which he was found liable for sexual assault, and yet the American public needs still MORE evidence of his depraved character and unfitness.
That’s what CA is for. 😆
Sounds great, but don’t call us Cali! 😉

ICE “officer” gets intoxicated and follows a women into a restroom. That woman is a Long Beach police officer. ICE are thugs, predators and this guys shouldn’t have a badge. Absolutely disgusting. ktla.com/news/califor...
Great job, John Roberts. You’ve done a fantastic job unleashing this lawless sociopath from even pretending that he cares about democracy and the will of the people.
And I’m guessing he’s going to use our tax dollars to pay for this? 🤯🤬
Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park. It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone. Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

Amazing watching these rightwing grifters blame Pam Bondi for refusing to release the Epstein files— as if she has an ounce of autonomy. As if she’s not merely a Trump appendage. The mental gymnastics they do to avoid acknowledging that their deity was close with a pedophile is a sight to behold.
So Fox was embedded on this insane militarized show of force which also seems to have signally failed because activists got out word in advance and there was basically no one or very few people when the mounted ICE/CBP agents showed up for the dressage event.
Blame abounds for Texas local and state officials, as well as the Trump Administration. My latest video on calls for accountability after the tragic loss of life from Texas flash floods & how the Trump Administration’s attacks on climate change will endanger all of us. youtu.be/pwlGzumDULM?...
Today, call or text any MAGA that you know and ask them how they are, bring up that Trump covered up the Epstein case, and tell them you know how important it was for them, and then invite them to stop supporting Trump & MAGA. One call, one text, five minutes. #3E #leaveMAGA
Democracies do not use their military to try and intimidate their own citizens with “shows of presence”. This is fascism.
“The Weather Service’s nearby San Antonio office … had significant vacancies …. “That office’s warning coordination meteorologist left on April 30, after taking the early retirement package the Trump administration used to reduce the number of federal employees.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/05/u...

Wow! Bloomberg is just straight up saying the Trump administration is LYING with today's jobs report.
The megabill's war on the poor is built on a decades-old lie Ronald Reagan's mythic "welfare queen" turned voters against social programs.
It bears repeating:
Dachau in July 1933... reported in the New York Times timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine...
“A former F.B.I. agent who was charged with encouraging the mob…to kill police officers” on Jan. 6 “has been named as an adviser to the Justice Department task force that President Trump established to seek retribution against his political enemies.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/01/u...
"They took hospitals and health care away from you so they could build concentration camps for immigrants."
WTF are we doing here?
Wow. Please, PLEASE watch this two-minute video. In which Lisa Murkowski, in a self-pitying way, admits to being everything that is wrong with the politics of this moment.
NEW: Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.
7 things everyone should know about Trump's megabill: Cuts $930 billion from Medicaid 16 million lose health care Slashes nutrition aid by $186 billion Less income for bottom 40% of families Increases debt by $3.3 trillion $45 billion for immigration jails Billions for defense contractors
The reverse Robin Hood: take from the poor to give to the rich.
Damn‼️ Federal agents blew a door off for this? Federal agents blasted their way into an LA home where Jenny Ramirez lives with her boyfriend and two kids. She heard the blast while checking on her 6-year-old, with her 1-year-old in her arms. Ramirez says everyone in the home is a U.S. citizen. 🧵
🚨MAJOR BREAKING: Moments ago at the Russel Senate Office building Medicaid activists in wheelchairs were arrested by Capitol police for staging a sit in. Their banner was snatched and their wrists tied with zip ties.
Save the charts.
This is the only explanation that makes sense.

“family members identified the victim as Narciso Barranco, a father to three sons who are all U.S. Marines” ktla.com/news/local-n...
Millions of acres worth of public land would be put up for sale in the Senate version of Trump’s big, ugly bill. It’s a massive privatization of a public good that everyone gets to enjoy – all to finance tax cuts that predominantly flow to the super-rich.
Look at this picture. In Trump’s America these are not the bad guys or a criminal gang but U.S. Government agents. These masked men with ZERO identifying insignia or badges are driving around in unmarked vans and snatching people off the street!! Identity yourselves and show your faces!

A good turnout for No Kings day in Santa Maria, CA! 🇺🇸
In the last week, Marines were deployed in an American city, the president has called for a governor to be arrested & the speaker of the House has called for that gov to be tarred & feathered, a senator has been pinned and handcuffed, and two state legislators have been shot in their homes.
I hate to send this message, but Minnesota State police are now advising people in Minnesota not to go to any No Kings protest as the suspect is at large and they found No Kings flyers in his car.
Someone dressing up as a police office and shooting two elected officials IN THEIR HOMES is yet another example of why ICE agents need to identify themselves if they are detaining anyone.
I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

The Dems really, really, *really* need to make Miller the face of the administration, the way Musk was until recently. He’s hugely unlikeable and has the potential to create major drag if he is out front and center.
This 2-minute clip contains so much YIKES that I'm surprised the Boston harbor didn't spontaneously turn into tea as the Liberty Bell formed another crack. The federal government *cannot* remove a state or local leader. Detaining a sitting Senator on top of that is mind-bogglingly wrong.
The strategy is to do your Constitutionally-approved job and make them stop you. Make them show the world that they violate the Constitution. Make them show where they draw the lines and how they want to exercise power.
This is the language of revolution: "liberate the city" from democratically-elected "burdensome leadership." The federal government cannot arbitrarily decide to change the political leadership of cities and states. bsky.app/profile/just...
Move to hold the agents who assaulted a sitting senator in contempt of Congress. Call for articles of impeachment against Noem. Stop working on crypto legislation. Demonstrate the stakes of what is happening in LA with your actions.
By inflating the extent of unrest in LA, Fox is creating a justification for Trump to step in.

NEW: Hegseth is deploying Marines against U.S. citizens. Mayor Bass says to know your rights :
Trump: Well, we're going to have troops everywhere. Reporter: What’s the bar for sending in the Marines Trump: The bar is what I think it is.
Them: “LA is a full on insurrection” Us at the protest:
I think we’ve found the source of the violence
Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.
1 in 12 Americans live in California. 1 in 35 Americans live in LA County. LA is America
Share this. It’s why the White House demanding ABC get rid of Terry Moran. Moran has been suspended. What Moran said is accurate and true. Make sure his post makes the rounds.
This week Trump will deploy troops in California and roll Army tanks and artillery through the streets of the US Capital.
Better safe than sorry… 🚨Heavy ICE Presence Expected in Los Angeles on Sunday. A bilingual warning is being shared with the community — including areas to avoid. Stay alert. Protect each other. Know your rights.
L.A. is a Mexican-American city. The majority of the population is made up of racial and ethnic minorities. We are all happy living together and really do not want to see our friends, neighbors and families being terrorized by federal robo-cops. This is bullshit.
⚠️ To give people an idea of where the Trump administration is wanting to take things, White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is calling the anti-ICE protests in large cities in blue states “an insurrection against the laws and sovereignty of the United States.”

There are several livestreams still covering the protest against ICE in Paramount, CA as of 12:30pm. Heavily armed riot squads have blanketed the entire neighborhood in tear gas and are shooting protesters and journalists with impact munitions.
Paramilitary forces engage protesters near an ICE raid at a Home Depot in Los Angeles County. KABC TV live stream: https://abc7.com/watch/live/
The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.
ICE is conducting a series of raids in the Los Angeles area. Many workers were arrested outside local businesses. We’re fighting back. Please join and please show up. CHIRLA press conference at 4pm Downtown LA Federal building 300 N Los Angeles St. Los Angeles, CA 90012 #fuckice #fdt #iceraids

ICE isn’t rounding up migrants at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ meatpacking plants. They're provoking riots in Los Angeles. I wonder, is this provocation laying the groundwork for a pretext to declare martial law? And then I remember all those many tanks shipped to DC, the home of so many protests.
ICE rolls in, LA rises up.🔥 If Stephen Miller was looking for immigrants to roll over and just take it from his ICE goons, he picked the wrong f*cking town. Between yesterday in LA City and Paramount today, the community is fighting back.
Tom Homan: We are making Los Angeles safer. Mayor Bass should be thanking us. She says they are going to mobilize—guess what? We are already mobilizing. We are going to bring the National Guard in tonight

By @alejandrabee.bsky.social The House and Senate both voted to loosen regulations on air pollutants like dioxin and mercury, which are associated with higher cancer risk.
Right now, Republicans in Congress are trying to push through a bill that would put millions of Americans at risk of losing their health care. They want to cut federal funding for Medicaid, take away tax credits that help more people afford coverage, and raise costs for working class families.
the worst one is not on this list: A provision in the proposed spending bill would restrict the authority of federal courts to hold government officials in contempt when they violate court orders. Without the contempt power, judicial orders are meaningless www.justsecurity.org/113529/terri...

If as President you answer “I don’t know” when asked if you’ll follow the Constitution, you have violated your oath of office and should be removed.
