Another week in Washington and Republicans are still on recess, boycotting negotiations - while the government is shut down. Now, Trump is moving money around to pay only the employees he favors - another sign that he wants the government shut down so he can act like a king.

Today’s No Kings protest could be the largest single-day protest in U.S. history.

People have power.

What do you think made America great?

I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.

And I also know who truly hates America:

• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

This is a profoundly absurd show of force that could put Californians directly in harm's way.

Flying live rounds over a busy highway without coordination between state, federal, and local partners isn't just wrong — it's dangerous.
