I will never complain about my surname again.

Today's federal presence at Governor Newsom's press conference was a clear and brazen message designed to intimidate. The message was: *Regardless* of whether California redistricts to negate Texas gerrymandering, the federal government intends to use force to sway the next election in its favor.

Trump 2028 isn’t a joke. Donald Trump doesn’t believe the rules apply to him, and he’ll do anything in his power to hijack a 3rd term.

Wake up, America. You will not have a country if Trump rigs this election.

Reporter: What’s going on with those posts on X that are clearly trolling the president?

Newsom: I hope it’s a wake up call for the president. I’m just following his example. If you have issues with what I’m putting out, you sure as hell should have concerns with what he’s putting out

Veggie-flation strikes, with a warning for grocery prices No matter what the official data shows, consumers "feel" inflation when grocery prices rise.

ICYMI, the eye-popper in today's PPI: a 39% rise in wholesale fresh vegetable prices.

It's the largest month-on-month increase ever recorded in the summer (data to 1947), and one of the ten largest ever, regardless of season.

Trump is trying anything he can to distract us, because under his watch costs keep going up, and working people keep paying the price for his failed leadership.

Newsom on ICE action outside his presser: "It's pretty sick & pathetic. It's everything you know about Trump's America & the authoritarian tendencies of the president. Wake up, America. You will not have a country if he rigs this election. You will a president running for a third term. Mark my word"

I've seen people either saying, Oh corny. Or, oh he's just running for President. And my thought is, AWESOME. Let the 2028 Dem Prez primary be about who can fight against Trump and for our democracy and our rights the most effectively and aggressively and let it begin today.

Sounds like collusion.

Oh, he's just a big Kriegsmarine fan! Definitely not a Nazi.🙄

This fits pretty squarely in the classic definition of assault in that it a) is unlawfully directed at constitutionally protected activity and (b) causes the victim to reasonably fear imminent physically harmful contact

Mr. Homan, all I have been trying to do is “come visit” your facility.

You. Will. Not. Let. Me.

Now that your lawyers have admitted in court that you’re abusing your detainees, please explain why you continue to lie to the American people.

An interesting subtext here. We do indeed spend vast sums on our military. So the idea here appears to be that without "forever wars" we need to occupy our own cities.

JUST IN: Blistering ruling by Judge Ho on ICE arrests in immigration court. He says the Trump administration has turned attendance at immigration court proceedings into a game of "detention roulette" that violates due process.

It's a fairly good fire extinguishing agent and works well for rapidly inflating a life raft or life vest. Other than it sucks.
