FACT CHECK: TRUE

WOW! This officer in NYC arrested a ICE Nazis Agent! Good job officer! Who ever who this officer is, I wanna give him a medal… 🏅

Elon Musk is about to become the first trillionaire. The reason poverty exists in the wealthiest country on earth isn't because we can't feed the poor — it's because we can't satisfy the rich. We should tax trillionaires out of existence.

Elon Musk’s ten-year $1 trillion pay package is worth more than the combined pay of: Every elementary school teacher in America. Every cashier in America. Every restaurant cook in America. Every farmworker in America. Every bartender in America. Insanity. Billionaire tax now.

Leticia James: “He pardoned the former President of Honduras. He’s a drug kingpin! He talks about how he wants to stop all these drugs from coming into our country. He was one of the largest drug pins and you just pardoned him. And what the hell have you done with regards to fentanyl? What have you done on opioids?”

RFK Jr. is a completely unqualified conspiracy theorist who is putting newborn babies at risk. The reckless decision to end a proven vaccine recommendation has no scientific basis. This guy has got to go.

No money for cancer research,... but $200 MILLION for Trump's new White House ballroom.

Ripping apart the White House just like he's ripping apart the Constitution.

This is Trump’s presidency in a single photo: Illegal, destructive, and not helping you.

It’s not his house. It’s your house. And he’s destroying it.

Buying and controlling media platforms. Firing commentators. Canceling shows. These aren’t coincidences. It’s coordinated. And it’s dangerous. The @GOP does not believe in free speech. They are censoring you in real time.

House Democratic Leadership Statement on the Suspension of Jimmy Kimmel.

This is what authoritarianism is about: government silencing dissenting voices. Colbert. Kimmel. $15 billion lawsuit against the New York Times. Too many people have fought and died to defend freedom. We won’t let Trump take it away.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power. This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats. We cannot dare to be silent or complacent in the face of this frontal assault on free speech. We, the People, deserve better.

Our democracy is not self-executing. It depends on us all as citizens, regardless of our political affiliations, to stand up and fight for the core values that have made this country the envy of the world.

NEW: President @BarackObama agrees. We have to stop Donald Trump’s attempts to rig our elections. California will redraw our maps and neutralize any attempts Donald Trump makes to steal Congressional seats. Thank you President Obama for backing Proposition 50 and standing up for America’s democracy.

Texas Republicans are forcing a vote on their rigged election maps. If they knew they could win the election — they wouldn’t be stealing 5 congressional seats. This is a blatant, racist power grab.

Actor Robert De Niro on Donald Trump: “It’s about right and wrong. Period. The guy’s a monster. It’s beyond wrong. It’s almost like he wants to do the most horrible things that he can think of. It’s fucking scary.”

"It wasn't me! It’s fake news! It’s a hoax! It’s Obama! It’s Biden! It’s Hillary! It’s Comey! It’s Newsom! Look over there - don’t look at me! It wasn't me!"

Over the long term, we shouldn’t have political gerrymandering in America, just a fair fight between Republicans and Democrats based on who’s got better ideas. But since Texas is taking direction from a partisan White House and gerrymandering in the middle of a decade to try and maintain the House despite their unpopular policies, I have tremendous respect for how Governor Newsom has approached this. He’s put forward a smart, measured approach in California, designed to address a very particular problem at a very particular moment in time.
