Now that was a fine way to spend a warm California afternoon! Thx friends @ #TeslaTakedown and @smash-the-coup.bsky.social
This #TeslaTakedown at Stanford shopping center. Amazing turnout for a first time protest at this location. Neighbors saw the protest online yesterday and just showed up!

I don't know this Rep. Robert Garcia, but I love him already :-)
Garcia: I will never stop pushing back and fighting Elon Musk and Donald Trump until you throw me in Guantanamo Bay. I promise you that.

Honestly, what I really wanted to see here was a "Spartacus Moment" where every other reporter could have just said "I want you to answer her question" ... shame on the other reporters in that room for letting that happen to their colleague

You need this for the weekend. You do.
I’m not going to sugarcoat this. We’re in the worst national emergency of our lives.

I find it truly astonishing how few of my fellow American seem to understand this simple fact.

I'm so embarrassed ...
To every American news outlet: Please listen carefully..

Tariffs are NOT why Canadians are ready to brawl.
We are pissed because the pig that 77 million of you chose as your leader keeps suggesting our nation should no longer exist.

I know you're slow and this may be hard to grasp, but please try.

Is there anyone else as frustrated as I am that no one else seems to recognize this as the extremely bad outcome we hoped would never happen?

The Third Way has many critics within Democratic insider circles (including recently and IMO eloquently by @katmabu.bsky.social) but Matt Bennet's conversation with @tarapalmeri.bsky.social is worth a listen regardless of what sort of Democrat you are ...

As Vance admits - this has nothing to do with securing the canal for US shipping (3%!) and everything to do with attacking the Iranian backed Houthis because Saudi Arabia has been fighting them for a decade and probably appreciates the assist … if anything the bill needs to go to Saudi Arabia!

Not a single responsible foreign intelligence agency should be willing to share confidential data with this clown car going forward!
It's not merely foolish or comical, it is against the law to discuss classified matters (war plans!) on non-classified, non-government platforms. It's also a national security risk. This platform could well have been compromised by foreign intelligence services or by others at home or abroad.

Am I the only one that thinks this guy should stay as far away as humanly possible from the cameras?
Schumer: "If he defies the Supreme Court, then we are in uncharted territory ... our entire democracy is at risk. I believe that if Donald Trump should defy the courts, the public will rise up. Democrats will fight it in every single way ... autocrats only succeed if the public lets them."

There is no more obvious, easily verifiable lie than "Canadians are nasty people". All you need to do is meet a Canadian.
