Where’s the counter-argument? Why no coverage of those in opposition to Trump’s claims. All we get are Trump’s lies over & over w/no perspective.
Trump: "The line is that I'm a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot of people say, 'You know, if that's the case, I'd rather have a dictator.'"

If the answer to the question makes you look bad, pretend you heard a different question.
REPORTER: Why would any Democrat vote for a bipartisan spending bill with Republicans if Republicans can turn around and claw back the money the next day?
LEAVITT: Look, $9b worth of crap that was in our federal funding that is not being rescinded. This is a good thing for the American people.

Honestly, for trump to admit anything is wrong must mean it’s very serious.
BREAKING: Donald Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency, per @PressSec. This is a condition where veins have trouble sending blood from the legs back to the heart, often due to damaged valves. This can lead to blood pooling in the legs, causing various symptoms and complications.

“Really Scary Stuff”
This is really not funny. District court judges who have been subject to increasing threats as a result of Trump rhetoric, DOJ lawyers’ suggestions that the orders of district court judges are illegitimate, and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s threats of jurisdiction-stripping, are being further….
I didn’t have the Supreme Court destroying the authority of federal district courts on my bingo card. But in retrospect that’s perhaps where all this shadow docket decision-making was going all along.
Really scary stuff.

What GOP politicians will/won’t do must have no bearing on what Decent Americans Do.
Impeachment proceedings must happen-to inform the public-if for no other reason.

Really the only thing members of congress can do is call for impeachment because trump's attack on Iran is illegal. Without GOP support, though, those things can't happen - but that shouldn't stop them from calling it what it is.

Why can’t @washingtonpost.com simply report facts, “Trump Admin mirrors Hitler with illegal arrests and detention of their political counterparts”
Even with everything else going on, I am still fixated on this obscenely terrible and dangerous headline from the Washington Post.
Do they really believe that Democrats are looking to be politically targeted, manhandled, handcuffed and arrested or are they sucking up to their billionaire owner?

The day is soon coming where the word “ICE” will elicit the same immediate & repulsive response as the words “NAZI” & “Gestapo” did during and after WWII.
In LA, we have the right to film law enforcement in public spaces, as long as we do not interfere.
Arturo Hermosillo says he was arrested for doing exactly that.
He was in his van when he saw an older woman, a local tamale vendor, lying on the ground during an immigration raid & started recording.

Mahmoud Khalil is finally home with his beautiful wife and newborn son.
Each one of the 104 days he spent detained was a grave injustice.
From the moment of his detention, @ccrjustice.org + @aclu.org engaged my office as we worked closely to help secure his release. They did remarkable work here.
