“kinetic”, “ aggressive friend”, “not much of a heads up guy”, “seems sharper than necessary” talking #AfghanEvac, vets, tourism, natsec, & local gov
I submitted this letter to the California Legislature today in strong support of the #ElectionRiggingResponseAct.

It’s a temporary safeguard against attempts to rewrite the rules of our democracy for partisan gain.

Time for another #AfghanEvac 🧵

@statedeptus.bsky.social just fired the entire leadership team working on #Afghan Relocations (CARE).

And Mary Bischoping—the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Afghanistan—took the day off.

ICE is now arresting Afghan allies—at their first court hearing—after they entered legally via CBP One, filed asylum + SIV paperwork, and followed every damn rule.

They’re using “improvidently issued” like a magic phrase to disappear people.

We have the video.

#AfghanEvac
An Afghan ally who served alongside U.S. forces was legally paroled into the U.S. and showed up for his first hearing.

DHS detained him anyway—using a vague “improvidently issued” excuse.

He followed the rules.

We have the video.

This must stop.

I’m tired of hearing how much Members of Congress “care” behind closed doors.

If you’re not speaking up in public about the Afghan allies we left behind, then you’re part of the problem.

This week, a few stood up. Most stayed silent.

Enough is enough. Take a stand. @afghanevac.bsky.social
