During the George Floyd protests, Trump ordered multiple governors to deploy their national guard to DC. Four governors successfully declined.

Absolutely wild that LA has deployed LAPD, DHS has deployed both ICE and CBP, now the white house is calling in the national guard. You'd think the wildest riot in history was going down in LA right now, but it's actually just a bunch of protestors mostly just standing around holding signs.

They were so keen to drag everyone back to the 50’s, they fell over their own feet and landed in the early 60’s.

Former DOGE engineer Sahil Lavingia says he found little to no fraud, waste, or abuse in federal agencies like the VA—contrary to public perception. After publicly sharing this and promoting transparency, his access was revoked just 55 days in. Irony, meet bureaucracy. www.npr.org/2025/06/02/n...

The Los Angeles Police Department has stated that demonstrations in the city have remained peaceful. Let that sink in.

Bored Trump wants ratings but didn’t like the Musk sub-plot so has accelerated the “war with California” storyline.

“Tasted a little tear gas— tasted like fascism”

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy. The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

This moment is why we were so opposed to Pete Hegseth being confirmed.

The National Guard being mobilized for violence in California is an overreaction. Trump has always been aroused by the Insurrection Act. He wants to use it. It’s his kink.

The Obama administration deported over 3.16 million people. Biden’s passed 4.44 million. Not once did either need troops in the streets to do it. That’s all you need to know about what’s happening.

LAPD STATEMENT: “The protests remained peaceful… without incident…”

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle. Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.

Welcome to America's Reichstag Fire.

1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

President Trump's proclamation hands significant authority to someone who lacks a cool head. Here's Secretary Hegseth's first statement: False statements below and then this: "If violence continues, active duty Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert."

Pete Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines into Los Angeles. Make no mistake: this is a declaration of war against the United States.

The key language: "under 10 USC 12406 to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnel who are performing Federal functions ... and to protect Federal property, at locations where protests against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur"

America's greatest threat is our own Government.

For the love of god plz SOMEONE in the White House pool report on the legal authority invoked in this memorandum

What's happening tonight is anything but law and order. Don't be deceived.

I'm streamin LA NBC Ch 4 and they're running the weather report

Paramount, CA is putting out a call for environmental engineers to collect and preserve air, soil, and water samples from the tear-gassed areas for examination and documentation.

Statement from the White House regarding deployment of the national guard in California: “Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen…”

Dipshit president, stop doing shit Christ alive

A good rule of thumb if you want to predict when a huge breaking news story is going to erupt, look at when CNN has a scheduled and heavily promoted non-news show

This is gonna hit different after a week of Miller and Homan playing soldier
