“They didn’t sign up for this.” VoteVets' MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton says Troops deployed to Los Angeles are being used for police work they aren’t trained for—and never enlisted to do. This isn’t defense. It’s political misuse of the military.

It is time for a new Latino political movement in this country. I’d love to see a million Latino march in Washington. To remind Trump and his people that we are Americans too.

I’m just asking you to pause or reflect or pray and to ask yourself the questions: What kind of person do I tell myself I am; about what matters to me, about the people I care about, about the mark I want to make on the world while I’m here? johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/a-letter-t...

Given events in the past 24 hours, it might have been helpful for the United States to be able to speak to Iranians in Farsi, their official language. But the incompetent children at Doge dismantled Voice of America, cutting off that communication and ultimately not saving the US a penny.

Donald Trump doesn't care about law enforcement. He cares about power. It's why he's deploying military personnel to Los Angeles. And it's why he pardoned the violent criminals who attacked Capitol Police on January 6th.

It's a truly jarring split screen that Kristi Noem's goons attacking Sen Padilla happened at almost the exact same time as 16 Dem senators crossed lines to vote with the GOP to invoke cloture on the crypto bill, forfeiting any leverage. Dems need to act like an opposition.

If that’s what they do to a US Senator with a question, imagine what they do to farm workers, day laborers, cooks, and the other nonviolent immigrants they are targeting in California and across the country. Or any American that dares to speak up. I will not stop fighting to demand accountability.

MAJOR BREAKING: Politico reports that the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has scored the Republican's "Big Beautiful Budget Bill" and found that "the lowest-income households in the U.S. would LOSE $1,600 a year," while "the richest households would GAIN 12,000 a year."

Kristi Noem must resign. She has deported a four year old with cancer, detained a U.S. marshal, and arrested two members of Congress. She’s lost the confidence of the American people. ICE must stop terrorizing our communities.

Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

House Democrats need to bring articles of impeachment against Kristi Noem, while Senate Democrats need to bring that chamber to a fucking halt.

Why is ICE arresting employees but not employers? DOJ policy is to charge the most culpable people. The employers would seem to qualify.

This is the most dangerous thing Trump has done since taking office and the silence from Senate Armed Services Chair Roger Wicker and House Chair Mike Rogers is deafening, and a betrayal of their duty to the military and the Republic.

Remember: Almost all of us are the descendants of immigrants who fled persecution, or were brought to America under duress, or sought better lives for themselves and their descendants. Politicians who stoke fear and hatred over immigration want you to forget this. Do not.

I’m hearing rumors that thousands of people are calling the ICE tip line to report little green men and other aliens from outer space. That’s not why ICE set up this number, so you should absolutely NOT call that tip line to report those types of aliens. 👽 I repeat—do NOT call the below number! ☎️
