Well, outrage over Donald Trump using the military as pawns in a manufactured crisis in Los Angeles is building just hours before Donald Trump intends to abuse the military again to celebrate, as Jen said, himself. Donald Trump is throwing a multi-million dollar military parade for the Army's 250th birthday, which just so happens to coincide with his 79th birthday.

The last word with Lawrence O'Donnell starts right now. Jen, I am in the middle of uh Judge Charles Briar's opinion uh that is a total victory for Gavin Newsome as we heard uh the governor uh telling us uh during your hour and of course you've reported that the Trump administration is already appealing this. Uh but as you read it, as you get through it, it it's very hard to find any space for appeal uh in this decision. And of course, we will also be covering the breaking news uh from Israel tonight about t ...

“[Creating a society on Mars] would be a new frontier and an opportunity to rethink the whole nature of government, just as was done in the creation of the United States.I would suggest having direct democracy. People vote directly on things, as opposed to representative democracy. Representative democracy, I think, is too subject to special interests and a coercion of the politicians and that kind of thing.So, I'd recommend that there's just direct democracy.”Elon Musk ...

And this is a triedand-rue authoritarian tactic. Um, what happened today is absolutely outrageous. Um we're all collea ...

That is wrong. And I cannot believe that we don't have senators on both sides of the aisle calling this out as outrageous.This is what a democracy is about. Mr. . President, Mr.. President, it is about us coming to the United States Senate, speaking out, asking questions, getting information so ...

Una società che viola o cancella i diritti delle donne è una società destinata a non progredire. Un Paese che si allontana dalla democrazia e scivola verso l’autoritarismo è un Paese che attacca e disconosce per primi, fra tutti i diritti, i diritti delle donne. Un tempo credevo che le nostre figlie, le nostre nipoti, le nostre studentesse non avrebbero dovuto subire i pregiudizi, le prevaricazioni e la violenza che abbiamo subito noi. Mi sbagliavo, stanno già vivendo molto di quello che è accaduto a noi e ...

What's happening right now is very different than anything we've seen before. On Saturday morning, when federal agents jumped out of an unmarked van near a Home Depot parking lot, they began grabbing people. A deliberate targeting of a heavily Latino suburb.A similar scene played out when a clothing company was raided downtown. In other actions, a US citizen nine months pregnant was arrested, a four-year-old girl taken, families separated, friends quite literally disappearing. In response, everyday Angeleno ...
