Military documents confirm that the LA operation today was a β€œshow of presence” intended to send a message to LA residents about the power of the federal government.

After staging with armed soldiers and Border Patrol agents on horse, they packed up and left after a short walk.

Obviously, Jeffrey Goldberg has the texts that Hegseth claims that he doesn’t have. The Senate or House Armed Services Chairs can easily and quickly verify who is lying about this. If Hegseth blatant lied about this on camera tonight, how in the world can he continue in this job?

Speaking as a book publicist, this will give him more attention. Boycotting the event could be more powerful OR try to get the venue to cancel and offer to buy other books

Contact the stores and ask them to cancel. Offer to buy other books. Shut the tour down and deprive him of sales and attention.

LAUSD is not perfect but at least they’ve been proactive about distributing red cards to students and families informing them of their rights. Several highschool students in LA have also staged walkouts protesting ICE raids specifically but this hasn’t been reported much which is unfortunate

Republicans are too chickenshit to hold town halls. Shocker.

Let’s get something clear. The GOP has the power to keep the government from shutting down in March. They control both chambers of Congress and the White House. If they can’t reach a budget deal within their own ranks, that completely on them.

Dems: Don’t lift a finger to help them. Not one.

β€œIf DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then DOGE’s tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.”

🚨NEW: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is planning to fire Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff C.Q. Brown, a 4-Star General and 41-year veteran of the Air Force who flew over 130 hours in combat as a fighter pilot.

Here it is in a nutshell:

1. Trump is an authoritarian.
2. With the GOP controlling Congress, courts are key to protecting democracy.
3. So far, courts are doing a good job on #2.
4. GOP will next attack election rules like they did in 2021.

Don't let the cynics convince you not to fight. FIGHT!

Egg prices are surging, gas prices are up, and planes are crashing on a near-daily basis.
