LA Times: California lawmakers pass bill banning law enforcement officers from covering their faces
The California Legislature this week passed a pair of bills to prohibit on-duty law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from masking their faces and to require them to identify themselves.
The California Legislature on Thursday passed a pair of bills to prohibit on-duty law enforcement officers, including federal immigration agents, from masking their faces and requires them to identify themselves.
Them: "What we need in politics is good old-fashioned public debate."
Charlie Kirk: "Debate topic: Was slavery a good idea or a bad idea? Black folks, your opinions are biased so you don't get to say anything."
Ezra Klein: "Charlie Kirk was doing politics the right way."
"After bumbling this investigation for days putting out false information to try and appease the MAGA mob calling for blood, FBI Director Kash Patel was fortunate that Robinsonās dad bailed him out by solving the case for him. Just hours before Robinson contacted the police to surrender, authorities said they had āno ideaā who committed the crime."

One reporter asked Trump whether he identifies more with Valjean or Javert.
āOh, thatās a tough one,ā chuckled the wannabe strongman who sent troops to crush immigration protests in Los Angeles and is about to stage a tank parade on his birthday. āYou better answer that one, honey,ā he deflected to Melania. āI donāt know.ā
@georgetakei He doesn't have the integrity of Javert. Javert sincerely believed about the importance of the law.
Trump has no respect for the law. Since he's in power he uses it as a tool, up until it gets in his way
@georgetakei one of Javert's iconic lines from the musical is "I am the law, and the law is not mocked"
Trump mocked the law and got away with it.
@georgetakei Well, everything Trump touches dies. So they now have money problems.

He probably thinks of himself as Valjean, wrongly prosecuted, punished and hounded.
