This just happened in the United States of America. Not Russia. Not Venezuela. A U.S. Senator, manhandled by uniformed officers of the U.S. government, for challenging the Homeland Security director about what's happening in LA. Every one of his colleagues, Republican and

I understand/share the fear & outrage @POTUS is creating w/his extra-Constitutional acts. But I also know that everytime someone lights a car on fire or hurls a bottle at a cop, it serves his purposes. It helps him paint a false, dystopic picture to justify his actions. So my

In announcing that he'd cast his key vote for RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS, @SenBillCassidy said he had Kennedy's commitment that "he will maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes." If so, Kennedy lied. https://t.co/4X9484hdcR

They weren't eating cats and dogs in Springfield, OH. Aurora CO was not under siege. The "caravans" magically ceased the moment the polls closed in '18. And LA isn't even remotely in danger of "burning to the ground." This is his go-to parlor trick, folks, to divide and

The Congress is deciding just how deeply to cut Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act to extend tax cuts, but estimates are 10-15 million will lose coverage. At the same time, we're spending $45 million for the president's Soviet-style military parade Sat on his birthday. Talk

Kennedy chose a clever time to sack the entire CDC vaccine advisory council of the nation's leading experts, while so much attention was focused on events in LA. It deserves much deeper attention. https://t.co/AK6TsWreY6 via @NYTimes

LA Consequential... @HacksonTap kick around the complex politics of the standoff in the City of Angels, and much more. With @Jheil and former @Mike_Pence Pence COS @marctshort. https://t.co/5xA0qk59Dm

Let's just drop the pretense. This isn't about deporting dangerous criminals. They're grabbing anyone they can, anyway they can and anywhere they can in order to meet Trump's quotas. He wants to run up the score, and it's going to tear communities, blue AND red, apart.

Costs are going up, not down. The trade fiasco, that will contribute to rising costs, continues. The wars in Ukraine (and Gaza) are still raging, while Putin thumbs his nose at @POTUS Is there it wonder why Trump would welcome a big row about immigration and riotous protesters

In the 1896, legendary publisher W.R. Hearst, eager to nudge America into war, deployed an artist to Cuba to depict scenes of rebellion v. Spain. When the artist cabled Hearst that the scene was relatively calm, he famously responded: "You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish

.@BarackObama deported far more illegal immigrants than Trump, targeting those w/criminal records & the newly arrived. It was done carefully, responsibly & lawfully. What we're seeing in LA is calculated to provoke & escalate. It's a made-for TV reality show, produced by Donald

They talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome. But the real challenge we face is TSS: Trump Submission Syndrome. Members of Congress, surrendering their authority out of fear; law firms, prizing their business ahead of their oath, as advocates, to the law; universities,
