My gg grandfather joined Lincoln's R party in the 1850s. I quit in 2015 after long dissolutionment. I'm a Registered Democrat now because it's the imperfect but pro-democracy party Lincoln would join today. Hell no, I am not going back. 🇺🇦🇨🇦🇲🇽🇪🇺🇯🇵 🚫ICESTAPO

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.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

Trump was associated with an Indian casino in my area in SoCal years ago. He was visiting with Ivana, his then wife, and those preparing for the visit were told that no black people should be visible. The Indians were able to end their contract with him. The casino is highly successful today.

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Let's be clear: If North Carolina Republicans gerrymander their already illegal map further, they will be sued and they will lose.

I never bluff and I usually win.

China has hacked into so many of our systems, they can put us down whenever they want. Have we done the same with theirs? Maybe under previous productive efficient and knowledgeable administrations.

So Apparent Again Yesterday: Joe Biden Is A Real Man. Donald Trump Is Not

A historic ceasefire in the Middle East yesterday, and Trump uses the occasion to lie, to hurl personal insults at his predecessors, and to make the whole day about himself. Joe Biden, on the other hand, congratulated Trump and put the focus on Israel and the Palestinian people. Biden did what real men do. Trump did what cowards do.
