I would love nothing more than for this to be the situation that makes Gavin Newsom wake up and realize there's no point in trying to ingratiate yourself with professional Trumpland.

The head of Social Security has said he’s “fundamentally a DOGE person.” The DOGE that fired thousands of workers, threatened to shut down offices, and is now rifling through Americans’ personal data? Elon Musk may be out of the picture, but DOGE is still creating chaos.

Apparently RFK Jr. just fired all 17 members of the CDC advisory panel in his latest attempt to make America sicker again by badmouthing vaccines. I hope someone there is backing up research somewhere he can't reach to delete it.

I guarantee you that these 700 Marines being deployed have very little training or experience in "crowd control" or whatever your preferred term for it. Maybe they'll be used specifically for road checkpoints. Maybe not. Regardless, they're not trained for engaging with massive civilian crowds.

I ran an experiment, simultaneously posting articles on Bluesky and X, and then testing to see how many people actually clicked and read them. The numbers on Bluesky are higher, both because the X algorithm downranks journalism, and because Bluesky attracts readers, not just shitposters.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

Gavin Newsom is 100% the wrong guy for the job in California right now in my opinion. On the bright side, his uselessness here will surely kill his national political ambitions, and that's good for all of us.

📌NOTE: Sending the Marines into ANY U.S. city would be the greatest, anti-American insult TO THE MARINES I have seen in my entire lifetime. 📌This is weak, disgusting and NOT THEIR MISSION. Be about time for retired Marines to start speaking up, because you KNOW you are better than this. -Navy guy

"In our federal system, the National Gov. possesses only limited powers; the States and the people retain the remainder. The States have broad authority to enact legislation for the public good—what we have often called a 'police power.' The Fed. Gov., by contrast, has no such authority."-SCOTUS '14
