In the meantime, as a California state worker you’re giving me a pay cut starting tomorrow. How about your pledge to stand with unions and workers?

White House aide calls Los Angeles anti-ICE protests an 'insurrection' Senior White House aide Stephen Miller on Saturday condemned protests in downtown Los Angeles against federal immigration raids as an "insurrection" against the United States.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troopsΒ is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

Stay home at night.

Protest peacefully.

When the guard shows up, go home.

Then protest again.

Peacefully.

They are putting agitators in. Do not engage.

Protest peacefully.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

Every single Democratic lawmaker should be calling for Hegseth's immediate resignation right now. Not just some. Not just a few dozen. Every single one, starting at the top with Mr. Schumer and Mr. Jeffries. And the fact that it hasn't happened yet is nearly as shocking as Hegseth's conduct.

The Trump administration announced plans to expand drilling in the Arctic, including in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. The Interior Department stated it would begin steps to open the entire 1.56 million-acre Coastal Plain of the refuge to oil and gas exploration.

An entire sea cannot sink a ship unless the water gets inside of the ship. The same with the negativity of the world: it can’t bring you down unless you let it get inside of you. We cannot control what happens around us, but we can control our reaction to it. May your day be peaceful, my friends. 😊

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to β€œthe left” and therefore ignorable.

Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes.

Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

It is not required for any other Senate Dem to vote with Schumer. Stand up for the people. Stand up for the party. Unite against this and lead where he won’t.

@schatz.bsky.social Just heard that you are voting β€œYes” tomorrow. I really hope that’s not true. You are one of the rare senators giving people hope.

It’s always terrible when we lose institutions like the Pantry. I remember going here with my grandparents in the 1970s, my parents in the 1980s, and taking my son here in the 2010s. It’s a sad day for LA.

Federal prisons prep to move trans inmates as early as next week The Bureau of Prisons is moving forward with plans to move transgender inmates out of prisons that align with their gender identity and into facilities that align with their assigned sex at birth.

Trump's DOJ is preparing to put all incarcerated transgender women into men's facilities as early as next week, and according to NPR "the bureau is well aware of concerns about potential risks of assault, sexual violence and suicides"
