These people are incompetent and also unhinged. The #1 question is WHY are West Virginia National Guards people deployed in D.C. in the first place? WHY would increasing the number prevent future shootings????
Pete Hegseth says that President Trump has asked him to deploy an additional 500 National Guard members to DC. x.com/RapidRespons...

Once again, @govpritzker.illinois.gov's state police have attacked protesters while doing crowd control for ICE in Broadview. Pritzker positions himself as a Trump opponent, but he's doing ICE's dirty work in Broadview. It has to stop.

It's hard for me to tell when he's intentionally lying and when it's the dementia talking because, at any given moment, who can say?
Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

We desperately need Medicare for All
I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year.

Republicans in Washington did this.

This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.
The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

Far more dangerous than Trump, I think, is how quickly the last eight months have pulled back the curtain on America's elites and shown everyone how venal, how cowardly and how utterly mediocre the foundation of our society has been.

to my mind the woman who dies of sepsis because of antiabortion laws, or the person who dies because they can't afford insulin -- these are just as much victims of political violence as the man shot through the throat while making a racist speech

My completely unpleasant take is that you cannot make a career of inciting others to violence and normalizing using politics as a motive for violence and expect a good outcome. There has been a decade of sewing. And the reaping is of a bitter bloody harvest. My condolences to the children.

Educators spend hundreds of dollars of their own money each year to make sure students have what they need.

As NEA Vice President Princess Moss put it: “America needs to do better” when it comes to funding schools and paying teachers what they deserve.

Teachers spent, on average, $884 of their own money in the 2024-25 school year on cleaning supplies, prizes, snacks, decorations and more.

We can't talk about what's going on without talking about the deplorable state of law enforcement in this country and Democrats can't do that until they discard reflexive rhetoric like "Of course we have to respect the police." No we don't! Not when they act like this! And you should say it!

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.

My report:
ICE agents get green light to make unjustified warrantless arrests
The agency announced an accountability policy has been rescinded.

Democrats are still supporting ICE, which is now a lawless, violent Gestapo for the Trump regime that is terrorizing innocent communities and assaulting Senator Padilla.

People showing up for hearings at the Seattle Immigration Court this week are facing something new. Federal immigration agents wait in the courthouse hallways to arrest people if their deportation proceedings are dismissed by a judge.
