There’s no such thing as the Gulf of America, the Department of War, or the Trump Kennedy Center. They exist only in a deranged old man’s head. Watch how fast these signs get torn down once he’s done.

If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

The last month of the anti-Mamdani campaign was an absolutely shameful undertaking, an attempt to rip the city and Democratic coalition apart and I'm very happy to see it failed.

There are as many lessons to be learned tonight for Democrats as there are Republicans.
Namely: NEVER GIVE UP!
No matter how bleak or depressing or pessimistic things seem, there is hope in resistance and fighting back.
Enjoy tonight's victories and let them remind you of what is possible.

The circumstances of Mr. Escobar's arrest are even worse than the brief summary above. He repeatedly tried to tell the immigration officials that he had papers while they were arresting him.
In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."
In response, a federal agent said "No you don't. You are illegal," and "Shut up, bitch! You're illegal."
![For example, on August 21, 2025, plain-clothed and unidentified federal agents arrested Mr. Escobar Molina without a warrant while he was getting in his truck to go to work. They did not ask for his name or his identification or ask anything about his immigration status, where he lives, whom he lives with, how long he has lived here, or anything else about his ties to the community. The agents immediately handcuffed Mr. Escobar Molina, grabbed him by the arms and legs, and called him “illegal” repeatedly. When he responded that he has “papers” (in other words, immigration status), they replied, “No you don’t. You are illegal.” After the agents put Mr. Escobar Molina into a vehicle, when Mr. Escobar Molina told them again that he had “papers,” the driver of the car yelled at him, “Shut up, bitch! You’re illegal.” The agents did not make an individualized determination about Mr. Escobar Molina’s immigration status or flight risk before they arrested him. While Mr. Escobar Molina was in detention, ICE fingerprinted and interviewed [excerpt ends there].](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreihkz7lzuyt7exjpi7e4jm65iinagvhuhmwokzmlki6tree4uznl4y@jpeg)

When President Clinton banned assault rifles in 1994, mass shootings dropped by 43%. After Republicans let the ban expire in 2004, they increased by 243% — please don’t tell me bans don’t work, because I don’t want to hear it.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida.
If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.
