@elonmusk That’s complete bullshit, you lying sack of crap.

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

@SecScottBessent @POTUS @SecWar What a load of crap. You’re a terrible liar.

In a nutshell

@elonmusk Oh fuck off

[Jason Bassler @JasonBassler1]

It took 4 days for the César Chávez abuse allegations to spark a nationwide purge: statues torn down, streets, parks and schools renamed, holidays canceled, and politicians now running for cover.

Meanwhile, Epstein’s abuse has been public since 2019. Still. No. Client. Arrests.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Pls thank Mike Johnson and Donald Trump for the TSA lines this week.

@TonyT2Thomas Who is this murderer?

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

Yes. And he had a constitutional right to do both, you complete piece of shit.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Blanche: He was not protesting peacefully…. He was screaming in the face of ICE. He had a phone up right in ICE’s face. Is that protesting peacefully?

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

@WhiteHouse Would you please die already, you senile piece of shit?

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

"Turning to Bovino, the Court specifically finds his testimony not credible. Bovino appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing 'cute' responses to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s questions or outright lying.”
U.S. District Judge Sarah Ellis in Chicago.

[Adam Steinbaugh @adamsteinbaugh]

Uncredible, irresponsible, and unamerican.

[Stephen King @StephenKing]

Release the Epstein files.
It's the law.

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

@RepJeffries DO SOMETHING

[Tim Miller @Timodc]

This guy keeps unloading his clip on the man laying on the ground. There are many other agents around! WTF!!

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

This is great joke

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

This. Start arresting them and use the National Guard if you have to.

[Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty @HennepinAtty]

There is no absolute immunity for ICE agents who violate Minnesota law.

The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution does not erase state criminal law.

[Patrick Wyman @Patrick_Wyman]

Important to call this shit what it is: ICE is a paramilitary organization carrying out a state-sponsored campaign of ethnic cleansing. They’ve now killed two people and seem to be escalating every day. Just so we’re clear.

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

Put them to work clearing out the federal brownshirts. That’ll secure the environment.

[Ryan Goodman @rgoodlaw]

Hennepin County "Sheriff Dawanna Witt has requested assistance from the Minnesota National Guard...Guard’s role is to work in support of local law enforcement and emergency responders, providing additional resources. Their presence is meant to help create a secure environment."

[Lowering the Bar @loweringthebar]

@StephenM Fucking liar.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

The salient point now is not Trump's dementia, but the Republicans' cowardice

They'd rather ruin America's reputation for decades than risk losing their jobs
