The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Dems. Wanna get your polling out of the gutter? Stop talking about redrawing house maps in blue states and do it. Go big. Don't match them seat for seat. Blow them out of the water. Then endorse Mamdani. You're welcome.

Collins is no hero. She voted to proceed only to safely vote no later. She could have stopped it earlier, but didn't. Because she needs her wealthy donor cash.

As of 7:45PM ET, protests of historic size are happening in Chicago and NYC, the other two of the three largest cities in America.
There are no reports of violence.
Why? Because police are standing back and letting people peacefully express themselves.
Trump wanted and incited the violence in LA.

Trump lied about the number of undocumented immigrants, so now he has to *create* them by stripping LEGAL immigrants of their status so he has someone to disappear. And the oligarchs on the Supreme Court are helping him.

Stephen Miller says they are “actively looking at” suspending the writ of habeas corpus, which is only allowed when the US has been invaded or during an insurrection, which would not allow people to challenge their incarceration in court if they are arrested and detained.

Trump desperately wants to hide why everything is suddenly getting way more expensive. This administration is as incompetent as it gets.
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.

Nothing to worry about, just a Trump official threatening to prosecute and imprison other public officials in the US
REPORTER: There are laws on the book that make it a criminal offense to harbor illegal immigrants, like sanctuary state leaders have been doing. Do you think they should be prosecuted and possibly put in prison?
