Good on you, Guv!
WASHINGTON − California Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump with an all-caps tweet amid a heated redistricting effort in Texas that could give Republicans up to five more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives next year.
Mimicking Trump’s all-caps social media style, Newsom trolled the president as “DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP,” and suggested California would soon go forward with its own redistricting effor to offset the Republican effort in Texas.
And here’s the hilarious tweet. (Same link.)
“DONALD ‘TACO’ TRUMP, AS MANY CALL HIM, ‘MISSED’ THE DEADLINE!!! CALIFORNIA WILL NOW DRAW NEW, MORE ‘BEAUTIFUL MAPS,’ THEY WILL BE HISTORIC AS THEY WILL END THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY (DEMS TAKE BACK THE HOUSE!). BIG PRESS CONFERENCE THIS WEEK WITH POWERFUL DEMS AND GAVIN NEWSOM — YOUR FAVORITE GOVERNOR — THAT WILL BE DEVASTATING FOR ‘MAGA.’ THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER! — GN,” Newsom wrote on X, imitating Trump’s language in his Truth Social posts.
The felon found another way to screw up the Kennedy Center. (The bolding is mine; the tackiness is from your least favorite person.)
WASHINGTON (AP) — As the new chairman of the Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump added a highly personal stamp to this year’s announcement of the recipients of the annual honors, whom he named as country music star George Strait, “Rocky” actor Sylvester Stallone, singer Gloria Gaynor, the rock band Kiss and actor-singer Michael Crawford.
Instead of the Kennedy Center revealing the names through a press release as usual, Trump announced the honorees himself during a Wednesday press conference at the site, where he was flanked by American flags and photo stands for each of the entertainers that were initially covered by red drapes. Unlike in his first term, when he didn’t even attend the honors ceremony, he announced that he would be hosting it later this year and that he had been deeply involved with the selection process. He also suggested he might choose himself for a future award.
Red? What happened? *Tackytm from Acmer ran out of yellow thread?
Also: I will lose any respect I have for anyone who accepts an honor he grants during his dictatorship.
MARTIAL LAW DAILY REPORT
Federal authorities arrested 66 people in Washington, D.C. over the first two nights of President Donald Trump’s takeover of the city’s police force, a White House official tells TIME, adding that the nation’s capital can expect to see even more National Guard members across the city Wednesday evening.
Forty-three of those arrests occurred overnight on Tuesday, nearly double the amount of the previous night, as more federal agents and National Guard troops arrived in the city to patrol streets as part of Trump’s effort to crack down on crime, which has been falling in the city over the last two years.

More than 1,450 law enforcement officers and agents were involved in Tuesday night’s operation, about half of them from the city’s police department.
The National Guard’s role has so far been limited. Only about 30 troops were on D.C. streets Tuesday night, though officials say as many as 800 could eventually be mobilized to protect federal sites and assist in other non-arrest functions.
On Tuesday evening, a small group of Guard members in military vehicles appeared near the Washington Monument, where they were seen taking photos with visitors before departing two hours later. The White House official tells TIME that plans are underway for "a significantly higher National Guard presence” throughout the city on Wednesday night.

The White House official said that federal authorities have so far arrested 103 people in D.C. since the Administration started rolling out an increased law enforcement presence last Thursday, with 19 mixed-agency teams fanning out across neighborhoods to “promote public safety and arrest violent offenders,” the White House said. The operation has included agents from the F.B.I., the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Homeland Security, working alongside local police.
In other parts of the city, federal agents were spotted conducting traffic stops and making arrests. Charges over the first two nights have included assault with a deadly weapon, homicide, drug possession with intent to distribute, unlawful entry, resisting arrest, lewd acts, stalking, reckless driving, and driving under the influence, the official said. Thirteen illegal firearms have been seized since Monday night.
Of course, he has to go low.
The White House has signaled that the crackdown will also focus on dismantling homeless encampments, with officials offering those affected access to services like substance abuse counseling but threatening fines or arrest for those who refuse to relocate.
This is hardly the dystopia the felon paints the capital of what used to be a free country. Actually, he’s trying to turn the capital city into a dystopia.
