Today, Los Angeles received its first honor of three Michelin Stars. The head chef of Somni, which received three, removed his jacket to reveal a t-shirt which read “immigrants feed America.”

“ICE” better catch a clue before they attack folks and then lie to a judge about being attacked. We are watching and recording them, as is our right. We’re not just relying on surveillance video.

Marjorie Taylor Greene doesn't want you to know the name of her opponent but will try every desperate attempt to save her seat.

My name is Shawn Harris. I am a Democrat, husband, father, Retired Brigadier General, farmer, and I'm running against MTG. Can you spread the word?

I think this is an excellent response to Trump neglecting our service members who have been sent to LA but are sleeping on concrete floors and lack basic supplies and food.
I was thinking @governor.ca.gov could organize food trucks or something, provide what Trump isn't. Get them on our side, and have them run ICE out of town.

In 100 days, we’ve changed the political weather.

We show up because this is how we build a nationwide, unified opposition. And 100 days in, that opposition is far more unified and…well…oppositional than it was in January.

Take a step back and look at how the political winds have shifted.

Oh dear you’re going to want to read this. Looks like DOGErs were caught exfiltrating NLRB data, likely on unions, for private (seemingly Elony) use. This is must read. What we’ve all suspected. But now details. www.npr.org/2025/04/15/n...
A whistleblower's disclosure details how DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data
A whistleblower tells Congress and NPR that DOGE may have taken sensitive labor data and hid its tracks. "None of that ... information should ever leave the agency," said a former NLRB official.

This is a great point. For example, when I look back at the epochal changes of this past January, I would personally have voted not to confirm Marco Rubio
We often look back on the seminal moments in our history and wonder "What would I have done?"

This is our moment. This is our time.

We must stand up. We must speak out. We must do everything we can to stop a President who has every intention of destroying our democracy.

@ezralevin.bsky.social on your call today you said that the 15 most vulnerable Republican members of Congress are refusing to hold town halls. My viewers are asking for a list of who those GOP are so we can strategically plan to get them out in the midterms. Thanks!

Germans who turned a blind eye to Hitler's fascism and atrocities came to be called "Good Germans."

I don't ever want to be known as a "Good American." I want to be known as an American who did good by standing up to fascism and atrocities.

18-year-old Simon right before @schumer.senate.gov called the cops on him: "I'm sick and tired of doing the work that senators are supposed to do."

This is shameful. Senator Schumer needs to step aside.

An interesting theory on why Schumer supported the CR.
For sure. I know quite a few of his donors, professionally. It’s been a brutal week on Wall Street. If today they suffered another massive sell-off, the probability of a crash next week was exceedingly high. Still a real possibility. Yet, he chose them over us. Unreal.

The fight going on in the Democratic Party right now is not between hard left, left and moderate. It’s between those who want to fight and those who want to cave. And Team Fight stretches across all ideological aspects of the Party. Misread this at your own peril.
