Glad to hear @tinakotek.bsky.social & the important delegates of PDX, & the state of Oregon, speaking up & speaking clearly “WE DO NOT NEED THE MILITARY!” Please help me spread this video, as I believe the media is burying this story in an effort to spread misinformation.

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum:

"Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

I've seen DHS ice agents many times - in Santa Maria, Carpinteria, Camarillo, Ventura, Los Angeles.

I'll be sure to tell them this slowly and calmly when I see them again.

Why has this info been withheld, that the #CALIFORNIA Nat Guard has been inserted into Chicago?

@governor.ca.gov @gavinnewsom.bsky.social ?
#NationalGuard

VoteVets @votevets.org · 14h

In a stunning development, the Trump administration admits in court that it has moved California National Guard members into Chicago, which to this point has been done in secret. To be clear, there is no security reason to have withheld this information from the American people.

Mike Johnson’s actions speak louder than his words.

He doesn’t care about protecting healthcare.

He’s protecting Trump from the Epstein files.

A headline from The Daily Beast reads: Johnson Trips Over Words When Cornered On Epstein Files.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.
