The court has ruled in our favor. The Trump Admin is BLOCKED from deploying the federalized National Guard to patrol Los Angeles streets as our case continues. This is a win for the rule of law. What makes America great is our U.S. Constitution. We will never stop fighting to defend it.

Hell yes, a federal judge has blocked the MAGA regime from deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles and has ruled it unconstitutional and illegal. Damn right it’s illegal, it’s also unAmerican and unbelievably fascist. More of this please! 👏

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

It’s true, as many have suggested, that if they can do this to Sen. Padilla, they can do it to others. I’d only add that they already have been doing this to others. A mass deportation regime, sooner rather than later, becomes contemptuous of civil liberties and basic decency.

This is a lie. We all saw the video. The Senator clearly identified himself, and he did not "lunge" toward anyone. If these miserable propagandists will lie to you about roughing up a U.S. Senator in a room full of reporters, what won't they lie to you about?

If you are dumb or naive enough to believe the grifters on the right who tell you they’re oppose to immigration because it drives down wages for native-born workers, just ask them 1) if they support raising the minimum wage and 2) how come the GOP doesn’t? Go ahead.
