Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

NoKings protest is great, we must. but it shouldn’t have an end date it should continue indefinitely until mechanisms are enacted to ensure the security of our democracy. Like swearing in Grijalva, releasing the Epstein files, impeaching Trump Regime who are nakedly unAmerican.

Dear media,
1/ ICE consistently lies about its violence toward people in Chicago, with its initial accounts later disproven.
2/ When protesters shout at ICE agents to get out of their neighborhood and ICE tear-gasses them and throws them to the ground, that's not a "clash" – that's ICE violence.

While I was Governor, we worked hard to move our state forward by helping add more than 640,000 better paying jobs, expanding health care, improving education, protecting our air and water, and so much more.

In the Senate, I will build on and protect that progress.

VA healthcare saved my life. It allowed me to build my business.

In the richest country on Earth, we can guarantee decent healthcare for all.

One day. Five hundred miles. Three town halls in small town Maine. Four hundred people.

We will leave no person and no place behind.

We’re in this mess because a ruthless minority runs on hate and fear. We couldn’t believe people could sink this low—but they have. They threaten, bully, and break the rules to stay in control. Once everyone wakes up to that, change won’t be a choice—it’ll be inevitable. We know what must be done.

Hey. Hi. Tom Homan is on camera taking a $50k bribe and no one knows where the money went. If this was any other administration, this would be non-stop on the news. Why are we normalizing this stuff?

Yes your taxes should support disabled people.

They should support homeless people.

They should support those living in poverty, children and the elderly.

This is literally the purpose of taxes, and I would far rather support those who need it than continue to enrich the elite.
