Images of tanks pulling up for a huge PARADE that NO ONE asked for that will cost money & take military personnel away from more important things at a time when Americans are being told we don’t have money for food & healthcare seems wild to me.

Would probably be a good idea if California @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov did a quick video statement describing the legality/illegality of what is happening and the legal basis for the position the Gov. intends to take. Better than letting confusion build and folks hashing it out on social media.

The thing about Terry Moran is, he's not wrong. That was a pretty apt description, from my POV.

"The bottom line: Inside the MAGA movement, there's little concern about who's getting rich as long as Trump keeps fighting the culture wars, deporting immigrants and tearing down liberal institutions." But if all T is doing for you is tear stuff down, what are YOU left with?

Think Trump's helping factories in the US? "Factory investments in red districts are expected to suffer most from the ("big beautiful") bill's rollback of clean energy credits included in President Biden's Inflation Reduction Act."-Axios

A lot of MAGA in here: "The Congressional Budget Office projects that Medicaid work requirements and other health care cuts would leave about 11 million people uninsured by 2034. Millions could also be forced off of food stamps."

If old traffic stops can be used as grounds for being charged with human trafficking, this could get really ugly for some rich folk like Caitlyn Jenner who actually kill people with their vehicles.

"President Donald Trump said early today he would ban the use of masks by protesters, after two days of unrest in Los Angeles. “MASKS WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to be worn at protests. What do these people have to hide, and why???” the president posted on Truth Social.

However you think you would have acted in 1930s Germany, this is your test. H picked the Jews; T picked the immigrants. All this rage against them has been carefully wrought up, to give him cover to take power.

We’ve been in touch with local law enforcement in LA. They have the resources they need to meet the moment, and we stand ready to assist should the need arise. There is no emergency and the President’s order calling in the National Guard is unnecessary and counterproductive.

🚨 THREAD: What just happened in Los Angeles is not normal, and it differs from past deployments of the National Guard in key ways that you need to understand. This is a breakdown of the history, the playbook, and why this move reeks of bad faith.

Trump continues to talk about the "criminal immigrants." "Criminal" means someone who has committed a crime. Being here illegally does nit break a criminal law, its a civil misdemeanor. Being an immigrant, even w/o permission doesn't make one a criminal. And...

Of course the LA Times makes it look like a full on riot instead of showing that the mostly peaceful protesters were literally and constantly assaulted by ICE agents. The majority of fires that were started weren’t by the public but by ICE firing into the crowds and canisters starting fires. 🧵

We weren't having general hatred for immigrants before Donald came down the escalators. This all started with him stoking anger & fear.

Remember when Trump did this on J6 at the Capitol? No, because he didn’t.

What happened to states’ rights, Kristi?

No. DEMOCRATS, NO. We dont need or want Musk. Just no.
