Gavin Newsom: “What more evidence of authoritarianism do you need? These guys aren’t screwing around. We can no longer screw around. It’s all at stake. People need to wake up. We can’t continue to play by the old set of rules.“

🚨 HEY NYC — This clip alone is completely disqualifying. Absolutely humiliating stuff from @andrewcuomo, refusing to condemn Trump for going after NY AG Tish James.

A vote for him is very clearly a vote for Trump.

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.

And in the House because the House stopped expanding when urban areas became the majority early in the 20th century. California has 53x the House seats of Wyoming. It should have close to 70x based on population.

From the federal court to the Nobel Prize Committee, everyone agrees that Donald Trump and his administration lack integrity and credibility.

Why is Kiley complaining on social media? He can talk to Mike Johnson and get. Mike Johnson to denounce Republican redistricting. Never has redistricting done in the middle of the decade before. Kiley should figure out why.

They don't want to be called authoritarians but keep making statements saying they are behaving like only authoritarians do.

Gavin out there on podcasts giving g tax code lessons is a good thing www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMUCcQFm/

Places like Texas and Florida are higher tax states for middle class families – but not for people like Joe Rogan who flee there after making their fortunes in California.

Vance could resign and have interns take over his social media trolling and nobody would notice he is gone!

JD Vance, who said Haitian immigrants were eating cats, is pretending to have expertise on local crime?

Weiss has been exposed as a hypocrite and is woefully unqualified to run CBS News. So why did she get the job? To push regime aligned propaganda at the behest of the Ellisons. There's no other reason for Weiss to be in the job.

The regime is saying the offense is so severe that Cook should be fired and James imprisoned but Vance can't be bothered to look into whether cabinet secretaries are guilty of the same heinous crime?

But Amy Coney Barrett says it's no big deal because they haven't issued a final ruling yet. 🙄

And the fact that Weiss has no qualifications for the job underscores those concerns. She isn't being hired for qualifications. So what is it? The obvious answer is to push a political agenda on behalf of the Ellisons.

Let's remember this when Barrett takes the opposite position when the Supreme Court rushes to stop a Democratic president.

So Vance is saying this is such a terrible thing Lisa Cook should be removed but he can't be bothered to read an article or look into Trump cabinet secretaries doing the same?

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."
