This is an important reminder: even the LAPD acknowledged yesterday that everything was peaceful.

Then Trump brought the chaos.

This language--"L.A. Immigration Protests and the Federal Response"--suggests that it was "immigration protests" that set off a "federal response." But this gets it backward: at every turn, the Trump administration has been the aggressor and the instigator. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

BREAKING— New memo from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) dropped. It attempts to union bust employees whose jobs were eliminated in the Reduction in Force (RIF).

“Provisions that are inconsistent with OPM regulations or that excessively interfere with management's rights…are unenforceable.”

The Trump Administration has reportedly fired over 3,000 Forest Service workers. From land management to wildfire prevention, this is a DEVASTATING blow to Colorado's rural and mountain communities.

Read my letter with Senator Bennet demanding an immediate reinstatement of these public servants.👇🏾
