One thing Newsom has shown is key to effectively deal with Trump & the MAGA propaganda machine: You must respond immediately & call out the lies. You can’t wait until hours/days later, then answer in a press conference, statement, scripted speech. All Dems should learn from it.

“Young soldiers make mistakes. But if senior officers remain silent, what lesson will those young men and women take from what happened?” says @radiofreetom. Those troops & their leaders ought review the army’s rules regarding political activity in uniform & the oath to the

While I was slicing up bits of video for this thread/post, we got confirmation that Bragg commanding officers set this up deliberately. This should be career-ending for those in charge. If not, it's "game over" for even the appearance of an apolitical, democratic US military.

🚨 #BREAKINGNEWS Governor Newsom tells Fox that Donald Trump has lost it. That Trump doesn't have the ability to stay on topic and just makes shit up during conversations. Governor Newsom says Trump isnt the same person he was 4 years. Governor Newsom is outright claiming Trump

California is the most diverse state in the country, with the most immigrants in the country.  We also have the largest economy in the country, the 4th largest of any country in the world.  This is not despite our hard working immigrants -- as laborers, as consumers and as

Exactly two months after ordering anywhere from several hundred to several thousand North Carolinians to have their ballots removed from the count, NC Supreme Court Chief Justice Paul Newby formally seated Associate Justice Allison Riggs to the Supreme Court yesterday. #ncpol

So what I'm led to believe is that like half a million people contract Lyme Disease from hellbugs EVERY YEAR in this corner of the country and risk arthritis, heart problems and brain damage and they basically don't talk about it? It doesn't consume their every waking thought??

Eric Michael Garcia The Associated Press Imagine being dumb enough to vote for the guy who already implemented a Muslim travel ban in his first term. 100% of people who voted for this are the dumbest pieces of shit on earth

In all the noise of the Trump presidency, it's easy to miss the complete disrespect he showed our military at Fort Bragg this week. In my 25 years on active duty, I've never seen our servicemembers used as props like that. It was uniquely disgraceful.

Whatever you think of Sen. Padilla, he was at a public press conference. Sen. Padilla was asking questions. And then they decided to forcibly remove and detain him. That's literally the stuff you see out of authoritarian countries, not democracies.

Democratic Senators who voted to confirm Noem: Sen. John Fetterman Sen. Maggie Hassan Sen. Tim Kaine Sen. Andy Kim Sen. Gary Peters Sen. Jeanne Shaheen Sen. Elissa Slotkin Stop voting in favor of anything this fascist regime puts forward!!!

The fact that it was FBI agents who wrestled Sen. Padilla to the ground and cuffed him speaks to the alarming abuse of sensitive government agencies by this administration--beyond the the unprecedented, unjustifiable military buildup in a major American city.

Speaker Mike Johnson just called on the Senate to censure...Sen. Alex Padilla. You read that right. The American Fascist Party at work.

Much of our media will ‘both sides’ us into fascism. The idea that there is any kind of equivalence between the senator asking a question, even if a stunt!, and him then being assaulted and detained by police/federal agents is insane.

I don’t remember Marjorie Taylor Greene ever being forcibly removed and handcuffed after heckling during President Biden’s State of the Union, because…*checks notes* we were living in a democracy back then.

DHS Secretary Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Kristi Noem must RESIGN

BREAKING: Unbelievable. AOC EXPOSES the Trump Administration for ending legal status in the US and MAKING people undocumented - then having the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented. This is evil.

Be clear on what she’s saying here: She’s saying that Trump is going to use the U.S. military to overthrow both the duly elected Mayor of Los Angeles & the Governor of California. I understand she’s not very bright, but, in essence, she’s saying the federal government has

It’s not a fucking game Lindsey.
