(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: TRUMP DECLARES L.A. RESIDENTS TO BE IN “REBELLION AGAINST THE AUTHORITY OF THE GOVERNMENT OF THE UNITED STATES” This declaration may well be a prelude to martial law. He’s illegally federalized the Guard in California and this looks very like the pretext he was waiting for.

The cops that grabbed this New Yorker are part of a secretive, aggressive unit that's particularly close to Mayor Eric Adams. I recently did a detailed investigation of the unit, which has often executed on Adam's priorities -- and has a long of abuses. www.propublica.org/article/eric...

NEW: Unbelievable. A seemingly endless line of tanks & other military vehicles arrive in DC ahead of next week's parade. They departed Texas 5 days ago. What a colossal waste of time, money & military resources. All for a President who has shown zero respect for service personnel. (🎥 DW)

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

The other new bad part of the moratorium is that it also changes the BEAD program to be an AI subsidy program. BEAD is meant for broadband deployment to low income and rural areas. Cruz added the option for states to spend the money instead on AI deployment. It’s a giveaway to Silicon Valley.

The basic concept of law enforcement is to make society safer. The concept is as old as laws themselves. ICE isn’t making society safer. ICE is creating dangerous situations and risking full blown riots. That’s the opposite of making society safer. It needs to stop before a city burns.

Republicans want to codify Trump’s USAID cuts into law — the same cuts that researchers say have killed 300,000 people in just four months. Absolutely not. Helping to keep the world healthy is in America’s best interests and makes us stronger.

Not counting resolutions disapproving individual federal regulations, the 119th Congress has passed a grand total of three laws in its first five months. THREE!! Granted, we might be better off with this Congress sitting on its hands, but that's still a remarkably low (and telling) total.
