It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

This should be considered everywhere. They are kidnapping, abusing, harassing and threatening people who have rights. Every single one of them have rights and they are ignored. What they’re doing is unconstitutional and illegal.
Payback will come.

I'm not afraid. Come and get me, Donald.

I will stand up for the law and the Constitution. That’s what we do in the State of Illinois.

Good. Even if this doesn’t work, it’s time to go on offense.

A set of elections to watch today: Oklahoma City residents are deciding whether to finance $2.7 billion in projects and services, a big chunk to street projects but also large pots for other purposes like funding parks.

Me: “Why do you think ‘Succession’ was such a big show?

Arian Moayed/'Stewy': "Because the truth of ‘Succession’ dials into what we’re witnessing every day in our news cycles. There’s an elite group of 10 to 15 people that run everything."

every ruling out of chicago is like, "federal judge rules ICE agents cannot desecrate graves; must not deploy nuclear weapons against journalists and faith leaders."

That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.

An honor to receive the endorsement of
of nearly a dozen Black clergy leaders in Crown Heights today, including Bishop Orlando Findlayter.

I’m grateful for their support, and this powerful and humbling prayer.

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.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Just one "verified" Tren de Aragua member and one U.S. citizen with an active warrant were among the 37, DHS said, without saying how it had verified that gang affiliation. Others taken that day, the agency said, were "illegal aliens."

"No Kings is a protest against oppression & authoritarianism...I was pleased to attend our local No Kings gathering on June 14 and I plan on being there Oct. 18.

And I’m even more inclined to attend because of the desperate and disgraceful Trumpist smears."

Republicans, unfortunately, have been playing this game far better than the Democrats.

The heir apparent thing in the Democratic Party has not worked out well. Which is what I fear is going to happen with the DNC backing Buttigieg.

I already know they are pieces of shit. They are authoritarian. Did you not know that? I demand better from my party who currently are not stepping up to the plate as a strong opposition party. By the way, you sound like a little kid.
