NEW: Rep Adelita Grijalva and a HUGE crowd just MARCHED to Mike Johnson's office, demanding she be sworn in. A security guard tried to stop her, but an aide yelled, "She's a member of Congress!" and he sheepishly let her in. 💪 Do NOT give in!

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Facebook is collaborating with the regime... It's safest to assume everything you do on any social media (including DMs) is available to Trump’s goons.

In which comedian John Oliver does the fact checking journalism you and Caitlyn Flanagan refuse to do and systematically dismantles the imbecilic grift that is Bari Weiss.
Call it a ratio if you like. But it uses Weiss's own words.

Unbelievable story of Afghan refugee, a highly vetted fluent English speaker who helped the US against the Taliban and now lives here with his US citizen kids, declared “illegal” and perhaps about to be shipped home by the Trump admin to his likely death

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

He supported America’s war, escaped Afghanistan and started a family in the U.S.

Then ICE arrested him.

If he is deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him.

America saved him from the Taliban. Trump wants to send him back.
