The first civilian detained by U.S. Marines in Los Angeles was an ARMY VETERAN on his way to a VA APPOINTMENT

Trump on Oct 1, 2024, saying that we are on the brink of WWIII and a “global catastrophe” because Iran just launched missiles at Israel, which never would’ve happened if he was president.

In a new letter that’s gotten almost zero media attention, six House Republicans openly called on the ICE Director to redirect deportation resources toward “convicted criminal aliens.” The opposite of what the Trump administration is actually doing. https://trib.al/JRgYx0F

"[Troops] have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

This is the truth

Sen. Booker (D-NJ) and other senators took to the floor to express their outrage at their colleague Sen. Padilla being forcibly removed and handcuffed at DHS Secretary Kristi Noem’s press conference in Los Angeles.

"They didn't realize they were tackling a Senator for asking questions, they thought they were tackling a journalist for asking questions" oh, ok then

"He led soldiers, in other words, in a display of unseemly behavior that ran contrary to everything the founder of the U.S. Army, George Washington, strove to imbue in the American armed forces."

Newsom: "Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived. He's taking a wrecking ball to our Founding Father's historic project."

In this speech, you can hear and see troops cheering when Trump talks about his election and booing when he talks about Joe Biden, the governor of California, and the mayor of L.A. This sends a message that many members of our armed forces view half of our people as their opponents. It's chilling.

We know how bad the Big Ugly Bill is. It gets worse. Today we begin markups for the Republican '26 budget, starting w/ their awful MilCon-VA bill. 🚨 Resilience funding for Portsmouth Naval Shipyard? Gone. 🚨 80K VA jobs? Cut. 🚨 Women veterans’ rights? Stripped. 🚨 Healthy food for patients? Nope!

Trump, who recently paid Ashli Babbitt's family $5 million and has floated the idea of reparations for January 6 rioters, calls protesters in Los Angeles "paid insurrectionists."

So here is some more info on the reality of what Mike Johnson is saying should happen Gov Newsome - it is a barbaric act of violence. Shame on Johnson. m.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/public-...

"Nobody’s going to spit on our police officers," says Trump, who four months ago pardoned people who beat police officers with pipes, flagpoles, baseball bats and 2-by-4s at the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

"Alarming incoherence." OK - Paging that guy - what's his name? .... oh yeah Tapper, Jake Tapper. Isn't he interested in these sorts of things?
