Kristol's framing here is worth sitting with directly because it inverts the argument this administration has spent a decade making. Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is the version of the American Dream Republicans claim to be defending. Thirty five years of work. A business that gave other men jobs. Three sons pushed through college specifically so they would not have to labor in the sun the way he did. He was in the process of legally regularizing his status, filling out paperwork, providing fingerprints, doing the thing every immigration hardliner insists people should do instead of staying undocumented.

He did the thing, and his own government shot him anyway, then went silent. More than six hundred open misconduct complaints are currently sitting with the DHS inspector general, a number large enough that this case is not an aberration inside that count, it is one more entry in a pattern the government's own watchdog office is already tracking. Kristol's line lands because it is not really about Lorenzo at all. It is about what it says when the people running the country cannot manage a fraction of the discipline, humility, or accountability that a construction worker who never wanted his own children to see him in pain managed for three decades without anyone asking him to.

We are in a very dark time in the US. History will not be kind to this moment.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

Makes me sick to my stomach.

[Senator Andy Kim @SenatorAndyKim]

Secretaries Rubio and Hegseth looked every Senator in the eye a few weeks ago and said this wasn’t about regime change. I didn’t trust them then and we see now that they blatantly lied to Congress. Trump rejected our Constitutionally required approval process for armed conflict because the Administration knows the American people overwhelmingly reject risks pulling our nation into another war.

This strike doesn't represent strength. It's not sound foreign policy. It puts Americans at risk in Venezuela and the region, and it sends a horrible and disturbing signal to other powerful leaders across the globe that targeting a head of state is an acceptable policy for the U.S. government. This will further damage our reputation – already hurt by Trump’s policies around the world – and only isolate us in a time when we need our friends and allies more than ever.

[Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta @malcolmkenyatta]

For those keeping track: Trump has torn down a third of the White House, illegally put his name on a national monument, and is working overtime to cover up for a sex trafficker for some reason 🤔.

But still no word on lowering grocery, healthcare, and housing prices.

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

Adding your name to a memorial already named in honor of a great man doesn’t make you a great man. Quite the contrary. Putting your name on top of someone else’s doesn’t mean that people will speak of you in the same breath as the other man. Putting your name above another man’s name on his existing memorial… What is that about? Truly? What’s that about? Do you want people to speak the names as one? Dig down deep. What are you trying to say? I’m really interested. There is no other president who would do this. None. Zero. In fact, it’s not even legal. Congress named the performing arts center as a living memorial in 1964, and only congress can change that law.

This will always be the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Art. A great man would have said to his hand picked board, “Thank you, but the building already has its name. Let it stand. Let it be. I don’t need that.” But then again…

[Wu Tang is for the Children @WUTangKids]

Don’t get it twisted….the reason Trump has the National Guard out there in DC doing landscaping at parks is because he gutted the DC Parks Service from 200 to 20 employees that should be doing this work….this has nothing to do with DC safety

Freezing funds already approved by Congress for this summer is hurting children and creating chaos. All so Trump can give tax breaks to billionaires. https://t.co/QHjEzlLxrc

[Randi Weingarten 🇺🇸 🖇️👩‍🎓📚 @rweingarten]

This $50 billion in the fund isn't enough to make up for the $150 billion in cuts to rural health funding in the #BigUglyBill. https://t.co/C6B0AjPU3w

[FarmPolicy @FarmPolicy]

The average price of a pound of ground #beef rose to $6.12 in June, up nearly 12% from a year ago. The average price of all uncooked beef steaks rose 8% to $11.49 per pound. And experts say consumers shouldn't expect much relief soon.

After her family dropped her off at work, ICE agents jumped on this little woman on the right and then, after they discovered she's a US citizen, they claimed she "assaulted" them. The agents have yet to show what injuries they sustained from what must have been a brutal attack.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Turns out, chasing hard working people through ranches and farms and snatching women and children off the streets is not good policy.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

United States Senator Alex Padilla was representing the millions of Californians who are demanding answers to this Administration's actions in Southern California.

This is a shameful and stunning abuse of power.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

[Rev. Benjamin Cremer @Brcremer]

One of the greatest deceptions of our time is the false narrative that we should be more concerned about a poor person misusing the welfare system or an immigrant being here illegally than we are about cruel people having unprecedented wealth and power over all of us.

[Stephanie Hando @steffimidge]

See how that works? 👀

[The Bulwark @BulwarkOnline]

Q: "The economy shrank in the first quarter...Is this now your economy, sir?"

Trump: "Certain aspects of it are."

Q: "When does it become the Trump economy?"

Trump: "The good parts are the Trump economy and the bad parts are the Biden economy."

[Sen. Cory Booker @SenBooker]

Let’s get in Good Trouble.

Non-educators don’t understand the day-to-day realities of teaching.

[Stephanie Hando @steffimidge]

This makes me truly sad. As a Peace Corps Volunteer in a small town in Cameroon 30 years ago, I relied on VOA to hear about home and the world. I loved the evening VOA broadcasts. I am appalled at the gleeful destruction being played out by these two small, puerile men. #VOA

[David Enrich @davidenrich]

News: Journalists at Voice of America were just informed that they’ve been put on administrative leave. Two people there told me this went to all fulltime employees.

“From what we can tell, VOA is effectively shut down from this moment.”

[Dan Lamothe @DanLamothe]

"The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the nation’s premier agency for weather and climate science, has been told by the Trump administration to prepare to lose another 1,000 workers, raising concerns that NOAA’s lifesaving forecasts might be hindered as hurricane and disaster season approaches."

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

Rarely has so much ignorance and ahistorical BS been crammed into a single tweet. I know you and @realDonaldTrump are busy surrendering to a KGB butcher, abandoning the cause of freedom, and destroying the security of America and her allies, but you would do well, @JDVance, to spend some time actually studying history. Start here with Ronald Reagan: “Perhaps you and I have lived too long with this miracle to properly be appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and it's never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people.  And those in world history who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again.”
