I deeply disappointed in Alaska Gov. Dunleavy's approval of using the National Guard to assist ICE in Anchorage.
I agree with Rep. Andrew Gray: "It seems that Alaska’s notorious SNAP backlog caused by a lack of workforce ..would be much better use of our Guard,”

Security guarantees that will work to end Russia's war:
–bringing Ukraine into NATO as a full and equal member
–restoring Ukraine as a nuclear-armed power
Every other "security guarantee" is as worthless as the Budapest Memorandum. Russia's war against the West will be endless.

1/2 🧵What Trump does NOT want you to know is that the claim Lakanwal (the alleged shooter of two National Guardsmen)…who entered the U.S. in 2021 and was “granted asylum” in April 2025 under the Trump administration appears to be true and is also being widely reported.

What began as rare encounters off the Iberian coast now shows up in captain’s logs from Galicia to the Strait of Gibraltar, and in wary chatter on VHF.

This shutdown "deal" sucks.
Trump’s federal firings were already illegal — that shouldn't have been leverage.
And a "promise" of a vote on healthcare while risking 5m+ people losing it completely? A crock of BS.
Vote. It. Down.
Fight harder.
Do your job.

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.*
Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.
