Jessica Tarlov: “Gavin Newsom has been clear. Every single time that he has spoken, he has said that violence will not be tolerated. The reason we didn’t need the National Guard and Marines is that the LAPD itself said in a release that they didn’t need any help.”

Sorry, I’m not listening to folks who criminalize immigrants while voting for a criminal…

It's great to see Joy Reid taking a trip to Los Angeles to show us what is really happening. She may be called as a witness for any lawsuits that occur out of this and I have a strange feeling there will be a lot of them #USDemocracy

I have a new hero. This owl stole a child's hobby horse and flies around with it!

NONE OF THIS HAD TO HAPPEN.

Gavin Newsom is certainly not wrong. I love the fact that the Republicans always want everything to be decided by the states until they decide not to do what they want them to do.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving. There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later. They. Are. Breaking. The. Law.

@pelosi.house.gov: "On January 6th...we begged the president of the United States to send in the National Guard. He would not do it...And yet, in a contra-constitutional way, he has sent the National Guard into California. Something is very wrong with this picture."

My thoughts on what’s going on in Los Angeles:

Decommission 47?

🤬😡🤬 💙✊💙✌️💙🦋

she’s got a point

47 running the nation as if he owns it or it’s one of his own companies…. That does not augur well.

RFK Jr.‘s extreme anti-vax views — and his related conflicts of interest — were a huge problem during his confirmation process. So he promised not to change the vaccine advisory panel. Today, he fired every single expert on that panel. It's a public health disaster.

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.

So, it turns out the Medicaid Fraud was real… ask Ron & Casey Desantis, Rick Scott & those JUST pardoned for stealing MILLIONS from Medicaid.

🔥 “You’re on the wrong side of history. You should be standing here with us… you took an oath to the constitution, not the fascists in the White House— he’s laughing at you… You’re tough behind your masks & fatigues, but how do you feel on the inside?” 🇺🇸

Over 10,000 protesters marched peacefully through Downtown Los Angeles for a third straight day, their voices rising against ICE raids tearing families apart. In silence, they filled the freeway—an ocean of defiance and unity. No violence, just courage. This is what resistance looks like. 💪🔥✊🏽🕊️📣🇺🇸

Can any nation other than Israel kidnap Western Citizens from International Waters and have all the Media and Politicians simply ignore it?

Is this about the $5M he gave to Ashli Babbitt’s family?

I believe it is time for Congress to reveal just how many ICE agents are 1/6 felons and what private militias like the proud boys are involved with ICE!

On his first day in office, Donald Trump pardoned 169 people who were convicted of assaulting police officers on January 6.

MSNBC: Does everyone who has been arrested by ICE agents have a criminal record? TOM HOMAN: Absolutely not.

Incredibly concerned to see the forcible interception of the Madleen in international waters, and thinking of all those who were on board and have been detained. UK must condemn this breach of international law and immediately demand their release.

Are ICE looking into FLOTUS’ education records?

adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/video-expl... I made a video to help muddle through what it means to activate the National Guard, what authority they do or don’t have, and what’s the difference, if any, between the active duty, reserves, and Guard...
