The Vietnam War draft lottery, which determined the order of call for induction, began on December 1, 1969. I remember my Mother saying she was glad that my brother (15) would not have to worry about getting drafted because the war would be over before he was of age. Think carefully my friends.

FDR went to Congress on December 8, 1941 to say, “I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December 7, 1941, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire.” What is different now?

Watching Republicans try not to talk about a US Senator being manhandled, pushed to the floor, subdued and then forced out of a press conference--after wanting to ask questions of a US government official, might be the most chilling moment of the last 5 months.

Noem’s Goons crossed the reddest of red lines by attacking and handcuffing a U.S. Senator. In times past Senators of both parties would have rallied behind their fellow Senator and called Noem and her henchmen into the Senate to demand their resignations. MAGA Senators will do nothing. #ProudBlue

When asked to respond to the anti-Trump “No Kings” demonstrations expected around the country, Trump quipped “No, no we’re not a king. We’re not a king at all.” And he’s too dumb to realize that he used the “royal we.”

Asked if he agreed with Trump’s comments that Gov. Gavin Newsom should be arrested, Mike Johnson said: “That’s not my lane. I’m not going to give you legal analysis on whether Gavin Newsom should be arrested, but he ought to be tarred and feathered, I’ll say that.” The Speaker of the House!

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

“If you want to ask Trump, “Have you no sense of decency?” make him face Democratic majorities in both bodies of Congress. Members of the military fought and lost their lives to protect our country. All we have to do is vote.” Joyce Vance

When families have already cut their expenditures to the bone, some people must make a choice: food or medicine, but the choice they never think of is reducing income. Yet, when the US cannot make ends meet, it chooses to reduce income by giving tax breaks to the wealthy! Am I missing something?

Reality show pitch: The Homeland Security Department is considering taking part in a television program that would have immigrants go through a series of challenges to get American citizenship, officials said on Friday. I thought this was The Onion. It was in the NY Times.

Breaking News: Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man mistakenly deported by the Trump administration, told Senator Chris Van Hollen that he was traumatized from his weeks inside a prison in El Salvador. He was transferred to another detention facility where he remains in isolation.

"The Record Reflects Defendants Have Done Nothing at All" open.substack.com/pub/joycevan... Bondi says that if Garcia is somehow returned, they'll just deport him again. We believe that a person is innocent until proven guilty. These people have not had due process. The AG SHOULD know that.

Bone chilling. A court ordered Kilmar Abrego Garcia to stay in the United States. The Supreme Court ruled 9-0 that he was illegally removed. Trump is pretending he won the ruling 9-0. 1/ You may not think this case means anything to you. But let me tell you why it does.

Raleigh protest

A mother and her three children were snatched by ICE from a dairy farm in Sackets Harbor, a rural town in northern New York. But the location is no coincidence—Tom Homan, Trump’s border czar, LIVES THERE. He allowed his own neighbors, including a third grader, to be jailed. Deplorable.
