C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

‘Stakes Are High:’ Big Law Alerts Clients on Trump’s Domestic Terrorism Order Read about the fight for democracy from activists, elected officials, legal experts and others.

Some of the nation’s largest law firms warn clients to prepare for politically motivated federal probes stemming from Trump’s domestic terrorism directive, which could be used to stifle dissent and revoke tax-exempt status from left-leaning nonprofits. https://bit.ly/4gXSqC8

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

Trump promised an infrastructure bill for 4 years in his first term.

Said it was coming in 2 weeks many times.

Never delivered one.

Democrats then delivered critically needed funding for crumbling infrastructure.

Now Russ Vought is taking that away.

But only in blue states.

STEPHANOPOULOS: The Democratic proposal is designed to prevent millions of Americans from losing their health insurance, losing Medicaid coverage, or paying higher healthcare premiums. Why are you against that?

MIKE JOHNSON: That's an absurd statement

STEPHANOPOULOS: It's a factual statement

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Seriously—in any other administration the President telling the SecDef (sorry, "SecWar") that American cities should be used as "training grounds" for the military would kick of impeachment proceedings that same day.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved.

Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf.

No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.
