I thought they said it was wrong for an administration to ask a social media platform to take stuff down.

AZ AG Mayes: If I have to, I’ll take Speaker Johnson to court. There's no legitimate reason for him to refuse to swear her in right now. And it's not fair for Mike Johnson to be holding the state of Arizona hostage because he doesn't want to release the Epstein files.

And yet, the Young Republican bigots continued to commit their bigotry to text. Maybe we shouldn't be surprised that older Republicans are prone to making stupid decisions too.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Really sad that the Vice President can’t just say the texts are bad and troubling and condemn them and lead for once - and instead feels the need to deflect and run cover for it and signal to young republicans that it’s actually no big deal.

GOV. WALZ: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business — the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Trump’s the one with government interference." (From @atrupar.com )

🐸 ICE knows how to react to violence. What they do not know how to react to is humor and non-violence. We must remember that this weekend during the 'No Kings' protests! 🐸

If a random guy in a mask grabbed someone and threw them in a vehicle—we'd call that a kidnapping. Until an alleged ICE agent identifies themselves, that's what this is.

For all we know they're a rapist murderer stalker looking for their next victim. Indefensible. Dem leadership must act NOW.

ICE targeted an apartment building near my home. Masked agents in unmarked cars. I've said this before. Democratic Governors & Mayors need to order their local police depts to arrest any & all unidentified & masked alleged ICE agents.

This anonymous denial of due process is deadly.

Another reminder that a 13-year study found that protected bike-lanes led to a drastic decline in fatalities for all road users.

ALL ROAD USERS.

And painted bike-lanes? No safety improvement at all.

For sharrows, it’s actually safer to NOT have them.
