Sen. Rev. Raphael Warnock on Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles: “He is using the symbolism and the uniforms of our service members in a campaign to do what he's been doing for 10 years, and that is to convince us that we are at war with one another.”

Another thing to mention for people who don't live in LA. Most of LA is very chill and peaceful right now. There's a huge Pride fest going on, countless farmer's markets, tourists walking around, families at the parks, people walking their dogs. It's a big place.

This is beyond delusional insanity, it needs its own new terminology for how devoid of reality it is. This man is a deranged lunatic. I live in L.A., am out doing errands. L.A. is exactly like it is on any other day, with a few hundred protestors in a couple of spots in a city of nearly 10,000,000

Mr Homan, Don’t pretend. If you actually wanted to end the threat of violence, the easiest way is to simply stop the ICE raids immediately. But you, Trump, Miller, and Noem are intentionally terrorizing immigrant communities to deter non-white immigration. Violence helps you do it.

This is an important and overlooked dynamic. A lot of what the Administration says and promises to do is based on lies. And to quote Craig Mazin’s “Chernobyl,” “every lie creates a debt to the truth.” Eventually that debt has to be paid. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/08/u...

Really didn't take long at all for the darkest predictions to come to pass. And I'd wager a good majority of his voters still don't even know, thanks to a media very dedicated to processing reality for them.

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.
