The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here
The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.
βSenior military leaders should have stepped in to prevent Trump from turning addresses at Fort Bragg and Norfolk into political rallies; the silence of the Army and Navy secretaries, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and some top generals and admirals is appallingβ¦β

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here
The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.
βAmericaβs senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process.β

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we havenβt heard a word from the White House.
Not a single offer.
Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Itβs SHAMEFUL to watch US Senators vote NO on the War Powers resolution & give this administration a blank check to bomb whoever the hell they want. The current conduct in the Caribbean is unconstitutional and unacceptable!

We have already hit the target.
And I am confident we will surpass β¬400 billion by 2027.
With Global Gateway, the benefits are not only mutual β theyβre also local.

We are in an era of competitive, transactional global politics.
For Europe, the way forward is through partnerships.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the govβt shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. Itβs a tactic of would-be strongmen.

TRUMP'S THREAT TO FEDERALIZE THE NATIONAL GUARD AND POST TROOPS IN OUR CITIES IS A BRAZEN ASSAULT ON DEMOCRACY. WE WILL NOT LET AUTHORITARIANS STEAL OUR STREETS, INTIMIDATE VOTERS OR CRUSH PROTESTS. STAND WITH PRITZKER AND ALL WHO DEFEND OUR FREEDOMS. NO FASCISM, NO FEAR.

Last night, I received notification of the 19th death of a detained person in ICE custody since Trump took office.
ICE is detaining people, mostly in private, for-profit prisons that put profit over health. And now they have furloughed the safety inspectors. This is unacceptable.

I say we take away taxpayer-funded health care from members of Congress and see what kind of shutdown theyβre willing to stage when their coverage is on the line. Maybe then theyβd stop playing games with the ACA and the lives of millions of Americans.
