I would not vote for Newsom for president. I am happy to be critical of his actions and call him out. I am also capable of specifying things he's done throughout this that I believed were the right action to take. Other cities will be challenged with this soon too and I hope they respond better.

Damn right they can and should. I will be excited to see even more court cases leveled against this administration. I'm sure the legal costs will be enormous.

I can’t believe I have to say this again do not follow what these Democrats are saying and for the love of God, do not sit down at a rally where they are charging you with horses and shooting into the crowd because they will shoot you in the head and kill you. Do not sit down at a mass protest.

Laid off workers were told their notices of an upcoming reduction in force were "revoked." Officials didn't explain why HHS appeared to be restoring hundreds of jobs it previously called duplicative.

BREAKING: A fucking ICE agent rammed into a car full of U.S. citizens—then fled the scene. LAPD confirms it. This wasn’t a routine stop. This was state-sanctioned racial profiling turned felony hit-and-run. ICE is operating like a gang now. Where’s the accountability?

You mean conflicts of evidence. The evidence being what they have to support their position and he does not. This is an absurd change that will actually cause unnecessary deaths.

ICE will not be able to operate in LA again without looking over their shoulders. This is how it must be in every state and every city where they try to rip people off the streets.

Looking up some numbers. Total health industry expenditures in the US average out to $14,000 per person per year. The Trump tax cuts "only" cost about $1,300 per person per year for ten years. That 14K is a HUGE number, in the same league as the whole federal budget...

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?
