We don’t yet know what motivated the person who shot and killed Charlie Kirk, but this kind of despicable violence has no place in our democracy. Michelle and I will be praying for Charlie’s family tonight, especially his wife Erika and their two young children.

Elon tweaking Grok to immerse in right wing sources and it immediately going full Nazi is about as illustrative of what that media ecosphere is doing to your parents and your kids as it's ever gonna get.

Someone should probably do something.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

And these are the same snowflakes who couldn’t handle wearing a mask during the pandemic.

an easy disguise: all you’d need are some black masks

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

They've got enough money to throw us into another war, but not enough money to fund the suicide prevention hotline. Very "pro-life." Very "pro-family." So "GREAT."

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Good morning.

If the the Senate passes the Republican budget bill, 40% of American families - those with lower and middle incomes - will LOSE money. They will become poorer.

But the richest families will get an average $270,000 tax cut.

Because they only care about the rich.

Since January 6th, MAGA has been normalizing political violence. Now, after what happened in Minnesota, they’re normalizing political assassinations. We cannot let MAGA turn America into a nation of conspiracy theories and thug violence.

Whose streets? #NoKings #SFPol

Amazing protest in SF #nokings

A group of us have arrived on the Senate floor to challenge our colleagues - on both sides of the aside - to rise to this moment and jointly condemn what has happened to Sen. Padilla. Yes we still need to collect the full facts, but this appears to be a defining moment for the country.

If a US Senator is not safe from being handcuffed and detained for free speech, none of us are safe.

Senators are ELECTED to be a VOICE for their constituents. What happens when that voice is stifled, thrown to the ground, and handcuffed like Senator Padilla was?

We have a democracy, but we can lose that democracy.

I took to the Senate floor to speak out—I hope you'll join me.

What happened to Senator Padilla is not homeland security. This is homeland fascism. This is homeland authoritarianism.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

What happened to Senator Padilla is absolutely DISGUSTING. Point blank, period.

This shit is out of control.

Another elected official disrespected while doing their job. (1/2)

The same guy telling you LA is on fire, told you people were eating dogs in Ohio.

Trump appointees at the State Department are illegally blocking nearly 200 Fulbright scholarships, awards meant to send American professors and researchers abroad for educational exchange.

It’s not just that Newsom’s office posted this.

It’s that whoever made this added a Taylor Swift song.

This burn works on sooooo many levels 😂

Turns out, the “Don’t Tread On Me” states’ rights gang is rather partial to heavy treading.

Some perspective for people that don’t live here. The protests in L.A. are happening downtown, within the red area. That red area is 0.2% of the city, and 0.02% of the county. The majority of the protests are peaceful, a small fraction are violent.

Let this sink in.

Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence.

During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Congratulations, Trump!
You’ve successfully rallied the entire nation behind Gavin Newsom.

The Trump Administration’s escalation and provocation inflames tensions and incites violence.

The American people must be able to exercise their Constitutional right to lawfully and peacefully protest.

We must shine a bright light on this Administration’s tactics so freedom of speech prevails.
