Arnold Schwartzenegger @schwarzenegger.bsky.social and Governor Newsom @governor.ca.gov - please consider join forces against Trumpism. I've followed your actions this week closely, and your messages are the same. Together you could really make a change, ridiculing Trump to lose his mind.

NatCon leader Yoram Hazony says he did not expect to see anti-semitism on the Right. I guess he somehow missed the pro-Trump “alt right” movement boosted by NatCon speaker Steve Bannon in 2016. 🙄 😡 1/ x.com/natcontalk/s...

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"

The president is sending the military to control American cities and if you're a reporter who's framing that illegal power grab as "pushing the boundaries of constitutionality" or "acting boldly to fight crime" or whatever, please go find another line of work where you won't get us all killed.

That Pritzker press conference was... surreal, and I think marks a significant moment of escalation in the constitutional omni-crisis. This was the governor of a state saying plainly the Union itself is being torn apart and his state is being militarily invaded by an authoritarian regime.

Trump on DC: "We haven't had to bring in the regular military, which we're willing to do if we have to. And after we do this, we'll go to another location and we'll make it safe also ... Chicago is a mess. And we'll straighten that one out probably next"

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
