it also makes me think about how wrong media must have gotten other city-based events. like I was in DC for 2020 and that did feel chaotic as hell but I wasn't in, say, Portland or Minneapolis. I'm in LA now and I cannot tell you how much nothing is happening in 99% of the area.

Instead of using this money to fund, say, the National Weather Service right before hurricane season, they're using it to send Marines to Los Angeles. THIS is waste and abuse.

62 years ago today, JFK signed the Equal Pay Act into law. Yet in 2023, women in VA were still being paid about 79 cents for every dollar a man made for doing the same job. That's not fair, which is why I’ll keep pushing to turn the Paycheck Fairness Act into law to ensure fair pay.

"An American president ordering materiel into the nation’s capital might be, on its own, a regrettable instance of jingoism run amok. In the current climate, there is no way to interpret it as anything other than a show of force." Against us, to be clear.

America has never been broke. It’s just violently anti-poor. Troops in LA cost $134M — the price of 44 million school lunches. But sure, let’s keep pretending the issue is lazy parents and not a government that eats kids for breakfast.

As Trump plans mass deployments of ICE in Chicago, a car just sped through a group of protesters. I was at the Federal Plaza protest. It was PEACEFUL. This violence and chaos are what Trump, his masked thugs, and the people who support mass deportations stand for.
