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 § 12406, for Trump to take over California's National Guard.
Trump is trying to cross the Rubicon and take this country into tyranny.
Today is yet another reason to #StandUpForScience MARCH 7 🧪⚒️🌀❄️🌋🫨

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...
Live like a libertarian! Don't think the planes are safe? Just don't fly. Don't think the food is safe? Just don't eat.
Trump blames Ukraine for starting the war the way a rapist blames his victim for looking too sexy.

USAID, currently being shut down by Elon Musk, purchases about $2 billion annually in rice, wheat, lentils, and peas from American farmers.
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.
Want to see advertisers lose MILLIONS this Sunday? A record-setting low for viewers during the Super Bowl would do that.
Money talks and bullshit walks.
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.
Veterans Benefits Administration getting into a little good trouble by honoring black history month in an agency-wide email.
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
They have to pay for the tax cuts for rich folks somehow.
I guess early childhood education for kids is as good a source as any…
Crockett: "If feels as if y'all have just decided that y'all are gonna castrate your constitutional duty & hand it over to someone who was unelected. It doesn't matter how many cheerleaders he had on the field campaigning for him. That doesn't mean he gets to go in and sit atop any of our agencies"
Jasmine is on FIRE 🔥 🔥🔥
"...we are going to be in your face, we are going to be on your asses, and we are going to make sure you understand what democracy looks like...
...and this ain't it!"
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.

Thank you, Senator.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"
