ZERO PRINCIPLE.
Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

2:15 pm - Speaker Johnson says Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ can be sworn in 'as soon as she wants.'
Two hours later, GOP tells reporters Grijalva won't be sworn in until the government shutdown is over.
Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

ICE agent called woman βbitchβ before he shot her seven times. She was not brandishing a weapon as they claimed. Why wonβt they release his name? Donβt let them provoke you. Record everything you can safely.

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trumpβs use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea.
Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.
THIS is the energy weβve been waiting for. Credit where credit is due.

All these headlines saying βBondi Goes on the Attack.β Really? She wasnβt in the octagon, sheβs a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Bondi didn't valiantly fend something off, she refused to answer legitimate questions before Congress because the answers would be horrifying and politically inconvenient
And that's a profile in cowardice
I hope John Fetterman watched the Pam Bondi hearing today and felt good about his vote to confirm her.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.
Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.
Reporter: Is it the WHβs position that furloughed workers should be paid their back pay?
Trump: It depends on who weβre talking about. We're going to take care of our people. There are some people that really don't deserve to be taken care of, and we'll take care of them in a different way
