A US Senator has essentially said the highest, best use of federal law enforcement resources is to advance the electoral interests of the President rather than protect the nation's safety.

It was unclear how the agency would respond. Democratic lawmakers left the state to stop Republicans from redrawing district maps to their advantage.

Steve Maviglio quoting Dan Walters tells everyone all they need to know.
“Newsom also comes across as slick and glib rather than sincere, someone who bends reality to portray California and himself as leaders to be emulated”.

Bingo.
At the risk of stating the obvious: this is less about whether @SenAlexPadilla was justified in questioning @Sec_Noem than about the response. Does bringing a U.S. senator to the ground and cuffing him seem proportionate?.

I just safely navigated the streets of Los Angeles to pick up my morning coffee, all without a military escort. Amazing what can be accomplished drama-free when you choose not to intentionally provoke the masses.

.@RepTedLieu has got serious game.
Republicans held a fact-free hearing to smear California following the tragic fires. GOP wants to put conditions on disaster aid. We’re fighting back. “Shame on anyone who is exploiting the pain and suffering of disaster victims to jam through partisan ideological policies.”

With so many talking so much about the "uncommitted" vote in Michigan tonight. it's worth remembering that more than 10% of MI Dems voted uncommitted rather than for Obama in the relatively boring primary/year that was 2012.

This is the real deal. Opinion | Would Trump be a dictator? And can he be stopped? - The Washington Post

There is a clear path to dictatorship in the United States, and it is getting shorter every day. So why is everyone behaving like normal?

Editing to say “90 minutes in.”.
30 minutes in, and DeSantis hasn't gotten a remotely difficult question.
