Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy'
The "Real Time" host also said Zohran Mamdani was born in a country "where they kill homosexuals" and brought up the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

The only way out of this is for local or state law enforcement to start arresting these guys in the camo for assault.
Toss them in jail, @govpritzker.illinois.gov. Get their names public, get their mug shots on TV. Let them litigate. But show strength in opposition.

Genuinely crazy how much we went from debates about body cams to "is the camera rolling? good. now watch me assault this dude."

How many Americans know that Taylor Swift put out a new album
vs.
know that the president just told the military that he was going to unleash it on "the enemy within" shortly after his SecDef told it that it was going to become more brutal & lethal, with fewer restraints?
What's the ratio? 10/1?

What we might refer to as a "Kavanaugh Stop"
WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status.
He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

It’s true. It’s my job to discover and say things that are true. The radicalization of the American right is *the* political story of my lifetime and the public should know about it. Politicians can do what they like with that.

Trump says he authorizes Hegseth to deploy the military to Portland, which he lyingly calls "war ravaged," and says he is authorizing "full force."

Fortunately, history does not work as Hegseth seems to believe. It is never "settled" and the government cannot (at least for now!) impose its interpretation of events on the rest of us--especially an interpretation so at odds with the historical record. 6/

Weirdly, she didn't seem concerned about the guy who sprayed the CDC with 500 rounds and killed the police officer there. We know the motive was right wing anti-vax conspiracy theories. But whatever.
Noem: "We know that the way this building was covered with bullet holes, which was discovered after the shooting happened, we saw that literally the building was showered with bullets and when we saw the ammunition and how it was marked as well that's helping investigators find out the motive"
