Police of all stripes are waging war on people of color. It's heinous and unless it is stopped, it will get worse.

⚠️ GRAPHIC CONTENT ⚠️
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office arrested a Black mother outside her child’s school after an officer confronted her about leaving her car illegally parked and unattended. This level of force on an unarmed woman in a school pick-up line is outrageous! 👇

What if Donald Trump has only been picking people who he knows are in the Epstein files so they help him cover it up?

Why did he pick JD Vance, Kash Patel or Stephen Miller?

I am just asking questions.

Meanwhile, Speaker Johnson was all over the Sunday shows bragging about how the GOP is "fixing" health care.

The two parties are not the same.

Several people wrote in about insurers leaving the healthcare.gov marketplace, which gives people fewer options. A woman from Berkley sent me this letter she received from her provider that is leaving the marketplace.

Do you see where this is headed?

Tweet from Jordan Weissmann: “Asked for an example of a group that had funded a violent protest, Trump named ActBlue and Indivisible, which I think pretty much tells you everything you need to know about the goals here.”
Below is a screenshot of an article excerpt detailing that neither George Soros nor Open Society Foundations fund protests, and noting that the White House named liberal groups like ActBlue and Indivisible in relation to violent incidents.

This is great. Normally, with U.S. press, when a Republican lies, they go, "well, we'll have to leave it there because I want to move on."

In this case, however, Vance lies and Stephanopoulos is immediately, "into the trebuchet, my dude."

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 20h

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

Again, it's very weird how everyone--Democrats, Republicans, media, everyone--just pretends Republicans can't just eliminate the filibuster and past the CR today.

Ted Cruz: Gavin is deliberately lying.

To fund the government takes 60 votes in the Senate. There are only 53 Republicans. We need at least 7 Dems.

We keep voting to open the government. Dems keep voting to shut it down.

@GavinNewsom
knows that. And he’s lying to you.

I'm sure organizers are very aware, but if you're marching for No Kings (or anything else these days), expect to have quite a few FBI agents mixed in, subtle Buscemi-style most likely. Be careful out there, folks.

Just saw an announcement from a kids soccer group that ICE agents have been spotted in the area, so it’s OK to skip today’s games if people are scared.
The MAGA assault on our community is intolerable and has nothing to do with making people’s lives better.
