This idiot keeps bragging about the 20 hostages being released in another country while he's kidnapping thousands of people a day here in America.

Fuck him and the fascism he rode in on.

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Generally, a new member of the House of Representatives is sworn in by the Speaker of the House during a ceremony on the House floor. However, other individuals, including a federal judge, can administer the oath in specific circumstances.

This is that circumstance.

Brad Sherman’s holding another telephone town hall — because facing real people is too much work. 30 years in Congress and he still hides behind a phone line. He doesn’t care about people, just comfort. Wake up, Brad — democracy isn’t on speakerphone. #CA32 #AhujaCongress2026
