The Trump Administration is mobilizing an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to inflame tensions in LA, impacting the state’s wildfire prevention & fentanyl task force efforts.

Take it from former Republicans: Dems need to fight like Republicans. Grill Trump nominees hard. Tulsi Gabbard is a massive threat to our natl security.

What question do YOU think the committee must ask Tulsi? Let us know, we're emailing the best questions to members directly.

Dems would get much more traction finding and promoting people saying what they know and experience.

What has more impact, This man speaking his mind or the Dems speaking “in unison “ ?

For the last week, @kenbensinger.bsky.social and I have been in Altadena, to report on the devastation. But we kept coming back to an Arco gas station, which a group of locals have turned into a beacon of hope with tacos, clothes and community. This is their story: www.nytimes.com/2025/01/15/u...
