JUST IN: A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's use of the National Guard in Los Angeles, siding with the state of California's argument that the president erred in how the guard was being activated.
Judge issues a temporary ruling against Trump using the National Guard in L.A.
The White House could appeal the injunction issued by the judge but the decision in a federal court is a setback for President Trump.

Trump’s go-to line about every foreign policy crisis and war - from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, to October 7th, to the Israel’s devastation of Gaza - was “It would never have happened if I was president.”

Welp.

Do you think Lutnick wants *his* kids and grandkids spending their lives in a manufacturing plant, or are these just aspirations for "other people"?
Lutnick: "It's time to train people not to do the jobs of the past, but to do the great jobs of the future. This is the new model where you work in these kinds of plants for the rest of your life and your kids work here and your grandkids work here. We let the auto plants go overseas."

BREAKING: A court ruled that our case challenging Rümeysa Öztürk's unlawful detention should move forward in Vermont, instead of Louisiana, and that ICE must transfer her there.

Nobody should be shipped to a detention facility halfway across the country for writing an op-ed.

This White House is a threat to our most basic rights.

This is unacceptable. Mahmoud Khalil should be home with his wife awaiting the birth of their son, not criminalized for free speech and threatened with deportation.

Our destinies are tied. We need to raise our voices now.

UPDATE:

The House just passed the SAVE Act with a 220-208 vote that included 4 Democrats voting in support of the bill.

This bill effectively codifies one of Trump's executive orders and will disenfranchise tens of millions of American voters.
Today, we’re voting on what Republicans are calling the “SAVE Act”—but let’s be real, it’s a straight-up voter suppression bill.

They are literally trying to make it harder for millions of Americans to exercise their right to vote.

I’m voting NO—hell no, actually.

Hate won the election! We are only UNITED in our current suffering! It’s sad that social issues that have nothing to do with if you have food, clothes, nor a home, divided us. The hate for groups of people allowed him to make us less safe domestically, economically, and frankly mentally.
