I don’t want to say to billionaires, ‘We don’t want you here,’
He did have a note on him. The note alluded to that he felt he had CTE, a known brain injury for those who participate in contact sports. He appeared to have blamed the NFL for his injury.
I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election … I have two dozen Trump 2028 hats his folks keep sending me.
We have to recognize that there are no limits with this guy. If he could rig next year’s election … I mean, we joke about not having another [election], I don’t think that’s a joke. He will wire this for the next 20 to 30 years.
This guy doesn’t believe in free, fair elections. He tried to wreck this country. Were you there Jan. 6?
I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election.
The safety of our public officials should never be subject to erratic, vindictive political impulses.
This is another act of revenge following a long list of political retaliation in the form of firings, the revoking of security clearances and more.
I have heard about a whole lot of hate that’s being directed at our trans community.
... the difference between this … 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents an 87% reduction in carjackings in Washington, DC … this surge has been important to us for that reason.

The difference between this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents a 87% reduction in carjackings.
We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city.
With these new deployments, we’re doubling down on these partnerships to build on progress and keep driving crime down.
While the Trump Administration undermines cities, California is partnering with them — and delivering real results.
I’m not calm, and I’m not going to submit myself to niceties. Not when this guy is trying to wreck our goddamn country.
This guy doesn’t believe in free, fair elections. He tried to wreck this country.
I don’t think Donald Trump wants another election. You think for a second he wants?
Anyone using this as an opportunity to villainize our trans community, or any other community out there, has lost their sense of common humanity.
We cannot even make it through the first week of school without mass shootings. And the [GOP] will continue to do absolutely nothing while our kids are being gunned down. This is sick.
