David Huerta was peacefully exercising his First Amendment rights when he was assaulted and injured by ICE agents. He is currently in the hospital under detention.

This is unacceptable.

Praying for David’s health and demanding accountability.

Donald Trump is trying to illegally hijack California’s National Guard in an end run around posse comitatus, which prohibits the deployment of troops on domestic soil.

This is not just lawless, it is a direct attack on our democracy and our Constitution.

As the LAPD is reporting, the protestors in LA are being peaceful. This is not a rebellion or an invasion. There is no legal basis, including under 10 U.S. Code Β§ 12406, for Trump to take over California's National Guard.

Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.

When you solve for the wrong problem, not only do you not get the solution, you can cause harm. The President wasted water that was being saved for farmers for a PR stunt.

This was harmful, ludicrous, and solved nothing.

Trump's federal funding freeze has stopped the hiring of thousands of essential, seasonal firefighters.

Yes. You read that right.

I'm demanding answers from the Trump administration ASAP.

They must reverse this freeze.

A non-government business that contracts with the federal government received notice today that in order to do business with the government they must certify that they don’t participate in DEI. So it’s not just the feds, it’s any private biz that contracts with the feds. Here’s the message they got:

While Trump has been distracting America with everything else, Elon Musk’s staffers are quietly taking over NOAA and the Department of Labor. They are also using AI to help rewrite a significant portion of the federal government’s computer systems.

Some other things of note that you might not realize the credit card freeze in FDA has affected-authors who have gone through the peer review process and are in the last stages of publishing their scientific manuscripts, cannot pay the fees to get their hard work published, and there are deadlines

I guess early childhood education for kids is as good a source as any…

Schiff Filibusters Trump Nominee, Speaks Out on Senate Floor YouTube video by Sen. Adam Schiff

We are holding the Senate floor – and filibustering Donald Trump's nomination of Russ Vought.

I spoke for an hour about what they are doing, and how these disparate, destructive acts all fit together.

Hope you’ll watch.
