Senator Alex Padilla is one of the most decent people I know. This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control. This must end now.

A brazen new form of corrupt giveaway by Trump’s DOJ: Bondi’s decision to cave in to meritless big money lawsuits by criminals pursued by the Biden administration will transfer $100M or more from us as taxpayers to those who tried to overthrow the U.S. Constitution. Ugh www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

It is not the job of the federal government to "liberate" a city and state from their elected leaders. Where are all the states'-rights conservatives? And there is no need to liberate anything. The city & state aren't under siege. This is dangerous & authoritarian red-baiting & disgraceful.

A new era of government censorship has begun. It started with the silencing of scientific speech, when the admin blocked release of research on bird flu. But MAGA has also cracked down on other wrongthink—on race, geography (!), and of course Trump himself www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Some Big Tech companies think they should be able to freely sell our crown jewel technology to China. David Sacks thinks we should let them. Giving free rein to Big Tech is a recipe for disaster and letting China eat America's lunch.

Yesterday I had the opportunity to sit down with Governor Gavin Newsom to discuss the military aspects of Trump's unwanted and unneeded deployment of National Guard and Marines to LA. My YouTube isn't that big so it was a real privilege to get the interview. Check out our conversation and subscribe!

While it will be a shame if climate.gov is deprecated, the site cannot be trusted as a peer-reviewed source of scientific information if it remains live, because the content will be dictated by the Administration. Remember, #AltGov accounts can speak the truth while official fed accounts cannot.

Absent the invocation of Insurrection Act, I don't see how this doesn't violate Posse Comitatus. Detaining people pending the arrival of civilian law enforcement is supporting civilian law enfcmt. Neither s12406 nor POTUS' claimed Art II power extends beyond protecting fed property/functions.
