Literally crying in the Target parking lot right now. 🧵
I was struggling with unloading my toddler, my bags and wrangling an unruly cart (seriously — why do some lack power-steering?) A fire truck from Redondo Beach (E61) had just parked nearby and four firefighters got out.

Holy moly. MAGA is losing their mind over an uncovered video from 2016 where Donald Trump says people should use the bathroom they feel is inappropriate and speaks out against trans bathroom bills. RT this so MAGA implodes.
Donald Trump says the parents of school shooting victims should understand their children’s safety and even lives were sacrificed so that others could have guns for “entertainment and sport.”
Nice try. Michiganders are tough and can hold our own, but we’ve got a problem with people who play political games instead of solving problems.
The facts: When Donald Trump was in office, his administration requested our support to secure the border. I was happy to work across the aisle to help and I approved the deployment of Michigan National Guard troops to the southern border. But now, he won’t offer his own help to solve the problem. He tanked the toughest, fairest, bipartisan border bill Congress has debated in some time that would provide extra safeguards for our country.
We need real leaders who will take action to protect Americans. Join us at https://t.co/eFmfhD42RM
BREAKING: Democratic star Governor Gretchen Whitmer absolutely destroys Donald Trump after he attacks her as a "real beauty" and "terrible governor" before claiming that "everything is bad" in her state.
You don't want to mess with Whitmer...
"Nice try. Michiganders are tough and can hold our own, but we’ve got a problem with people who play political games instead of solving problems," the governor tweeted out with the clip of Trump smearing her.
Whitmer — who is already being discussed as a possible 2028 candidate for Democrats — then called out Trump for sabotaging the bipartisan border bill.
"The facts: When Donald Trump was in office, his administration requested our support to secure the border," she went on. "I was happy to work across the aisle to help and I approved the deployment of Michigan National Guard troops to the southern border. But now, he won’t offer his own help to solve the problem. "
"He tanked the toughest, fairest, bipartisan border bill Congress has debated in some time that would provide extra safeguards for our country. We need real leaders who will take action to protect Americans. Join us at https://t.co/Q9NVaOKRKt" Whitmer added.
This is exactly how you go after Trump. Call him on his blatant lies, point to his utterly failed record, and never back down.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you hope that Whitmer runs for president one day — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a new pro-democracy social network that is exploding in popularity because Twitter and Facebook are trying to stop its growth — which is only making Tribel grow even faster.

Judge Cannon ducked ruling on Trump's motion to dismiss the classified documents case based on the Presidential Records Act, instead asking lawyers to submit jury instructions assuming it did. Special Counsel's Office isn't buying it.
Ginni Thomas tried to overturn the 2020 election.
Ginni Thomas is married to SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas is about to weigh in on a case involving that election interference.
Clarence Thomas should recuse, but he won't.
The Supreme Court is COMPROMISED.
Just to be clear, Clarence Thomas will be deciding if Donald Trump has presidential immunity for attempting a coup that his wife, Ginni Thomas, helped plan.
Clarence Thomas is compromised.
God said “I need a man who failed in everything but theft and broken promises to live in a golden palace and convince the poor he serves their needs.” So God made Trump.
I don't think enough people are concerned that if trump gets back into office, we may never have another free election again.
And before you say "that will never happen," that's what they said about trump in 2016, and Roe v Wade.
This is not a fucking game.
The Speaker of the House is in charge of making sure legislation gets passed.
Jim Jordan has never gotten a single piece of legislation passed in 16 years in Congress.
If you need a plumber to fix your sink, don’t you want to hire someone who actually knows how to fix a sink?
BREAKING: Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan drops bombshell on indicted 2024 Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, slaps him with a devastating gag order and publicly blasts him in open court.
According to CNN, Judge Chutkan declared today, “Mr. Trump is a criminal defendant. He is facing four felony charges. He is under the supervision of the criminal justice system and he must follow his conditions of release. He does not have the right to say and do exactly what he pleases.
Then he asked Trump’s attorney, “Do you agree with that?”
Trump’s lawyer responded, “100%.”
Then Chutkan declared, “When you start to use a word like ‘thug’ to describe Special Counsel Jack Smith, who is doing his job, that wouldn’t be allowed by any other criminal defendant. Just because the defendant is running a political campaign does not allow him to do whatever he wants. If the message Mr. Trump wants to express is ‘my prosecution is politically motivated,’” he can do so without using “highly charged language.”
Judge Chutkan didn’t stop there, declaring that Trump’s “troubling” posts may incite harm and violence against Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team.
Judge Chutkan specifically pointed to a Truth Social post in which the former president referred to Jack Smith as a “thug,” asking Trump’s attorney, “In what kind of case do you think it would be appropriate for a criminal defendant to call the prosecutor a thug and stay on the streets?”
At this point, Trump’s attorney told Judge Chutkan that Trump has no choice but to attack Jack Smith because gems fighting “oppression” and “totalitarianism,” but Judge Chutkan didn’t let him get away with it, cutting off Trump’s lawyer, and telling him to “tone down” his hysterical language.
Trump’s attorney responded that Trump didn’t need anymore restrictions because the prior restrictions were “working, but Judge Chutkan literally laughed in his face and him that he better “keep politics out” of her “courtroom.”
To make matters even worse for Trump, Judge Chutkan ended today’s hearing by letting Trump know that that the trial date set for early March won’t change: “This trial will not yield to the election cycle, and we will not revisit the trial date.”
BRAVO, Judge Chutkan!👏👏👏
