Bass: If you want to go back in time, where was LA on Thursday? Fine, peaceful. Nothing was happening. The minute ICE rolled into town, that's when the chaos started and then add to that—bringing in federal troops.

Due process on pause? “ICE” is detaining people without charges and blocking attorney access. I hope L.A. and California are transparent about the data, because I bet most of these folks have no criminal record—just moms, dads and young people doing the work that most Americans won’t touch.

Ah yes it's another episode of Chris Murphy: Distraction Cop. The only person who's distracted from what's important is Murphy who's doing yet another cable news hit instead of using his authority to obstruct the budget bill.

Governor Newsom: "I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops ... and return them to my command. ... This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed." The letter:

Members of the California National Guard have arrived in Los Angeles — against the wishes of Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, who are calling the Trump move inflammatory and unnecessary.

If Pres Obama federalized the National Guard of a Red state and sent them to put down a Tea Party protest, the right would've went ballistic--literally. But when Trump does the same they cheer. Please understand that MAGA is an anti-democratic movement that wants Trump to be a tyrant.

Just because HE doesn't care doesn't mean WE shouldn't care. The second we hold our fire when it comes to calling out his illegal actions is the second he gains more power to ignore the rule of law. We need to stop helping him by giving up and pulling our punches.

Awareness and acceptance are two distinct frames. Anyone paying attention is aware of what could happen. But too many of us have moved beyond awareness, fully accepting that elections are a pipe dream. Those people are surrendering, and it's voluntarily helping the tyrants.

A great way to help MAGA authoritarianism is to convince enough voters there won't be elections. Unless you know for sure, which no one does, all you're doing is surrendering in advance, depressing turnout, fundraising, and volunteerism. Stow the crystal ball and prepare to dominate the midterms.
