Imagine if KJP or Psaki had said this about the Republican base: not just that half of them were “deplorables” but that the GOP’s “main constituency is made up of domestic terrorists, white supremacists, and violent criminals”? The media, not just Fox, would be in meltdown. GOP would be screaming!

Nobody is rioting. Nobody is breaking any laws. These are cops in my city of Las Vegas just assaulting and arresting anyone on Fremont Street who looks at them. This is fascism.

Here's another angle from Fox News reporter Bill Melugin of Sen. Alex Padilla getting roughed up by law enforcement after he tries to question Kristi Noem at her presser:

“I’m Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary. Because the fact of the matter is, a half dozen... Hands off!”

Thank you Gov. Walz.
Gov. Tim Walz is doubling down on trans rights — and criticizing members of his party who are retreating — at a time when the issue has become a political lightning rod nationally and back home in Minnesota.

Deplorables.
This is beyond shameful.
A voter begged Senator Joni Ernst to stop Medicaid cuts because they feared it would kill them.

Her response? “Well, we all are going to die.”

Public service shouldn’t come with a death sentence. 💔
The GOP has no soul.

During the kidnapping, the assailants, presumed to be ICE agents, knocked an elderly bystander who walks with a cane to the ground.

Trump officials' showings at hearings today were disasters, but it doesn't make headlines bc the media's default assumption is that Rs are clownish rascals. But if Dems didn't know what was happening at their agencies or what habeas corpus is, it'd be front page news. This is a key media asymmetry.

REPORTER: Do you have any concerns about Trump's business dealings?

MIKE JOHNSON: Whatever President Trump is doing is out in the open.

It’s really striking how irregular the bands of mostly men conducting federal immigration enforcement are. They seem to have no particular uniform, they wear a variety of different agency initials on their tactical vests, or none at all, they’re inconsistent about displaying a badge…
I know Great Barrington well and it is extremely hard to imagine any scenario on this earth in this small town that would require cops to roll out like they're going to war.

If Congress valued the Constitution, it would impeach Trump for bribery.

The Constitution bans US officials—explicitly including POTUS—from accepting things of value from foreign govts. Ben Franklin famously gave up a gift from France as ambassador.

US institutions now see blatant bribery as ok.
The foreign emoluments clause was written to prevent exactly this. Blatantly unconstitutional

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

The editorial completely omits the fact that the Trump has nuked nearly $400 million in LGBTQ related research and has explicitly banned any and all funding for transgender health. But they ignore all that while they call for "better research" that is now banned and defunded.

Good thing the Washington Post has already completely torched its credibility. It's a right wing rag running cover for this administration.
