I used to live in California and while no Governor or Mayor is correct100% of the time. I have to believe they did what was correct. When the Federal Government tells you that you are on your own why in all that is logical would the Federal Govt step on the States right to ask for help if needed.

We just learned that there was ANOTHER outage with the FAA in Newark this morning.
 
Enough.
 
Trump needs to get it together now and stop risking safety so DOGE can play government.

Everyone is freaking out about Hegseth for legitimate reasons & he must resign.
But as a physician I can promise you, RFK Jr is an equal or greater threat than Hegseth.
He can’t separate fact from fiction.
He will kill millions.

NEW: ICE clarifies that the 151,000 arrest figure put out by the White House yesterday is NOT internal arrests, as Leavitt and DHS have implied. That figure likely includes all CBP “encounters,” including people with visa issues at airports.

ICE’s arrest number is 66,500; high, but not historic.

Secretary Hegseth has repeatedly shown blatant disregard for national security and the welfare of servicemembers who serve under his incompetent leadership. As I’ve said before, Hegseth must – at minimum – resign or be fired immediately.

Hegseth Said to Have Shared Attack Details in Second Signal Chat

The stupidity in Trump’s new tariffs is apparently limitless.

He has introduced a 10% tariff on the British Indian Ocean Territory.

The only inhabited island there is Diego Garcia, home to US service personnel.

TRUMP HAS PUT A TARIFF ON A US MILITARY BASE

I may be tired and a little hoarse, but as I said again and again on the Senate floor, this is a moment where we cannot afford to be silent, when we must speak up.

The historic protest comes to its end.

After a record 25 hours & 5 minutes, an emotional Cory Booker completes his marathon Senate speech by quoting the late Rep. John Lewis:

“Let’s get in good trouble. My friend, Madam President, I yield the floor.”

The Trump administration can run from this national security scandal, but they cannot hide.

The so-called Defense Secretary must be fired.

And that’s only the beginning.

Leavitt is straight up lying. She says “it’s not true” that just a tattoo & a clothing brand can get you sent to El Salvador.

But here is the document filed in court by Homeland Security. It clearly states that a tattoo (4pts) & dress (4pts) adds up to 8pts needed to be declared a TDA “terrorist”.

Folks in both parties should call for accountability regarding classified info disclosed over Signal. It's not partisan, it's about the safety of our troops.

If the shoe was on the other foot, and this happened to a Democrat, my colleagues would have plenty to say.

NEW: Even by Marjorie Taylor Greene’s gutter standards, this is disgusting & abusive behaviour towards a British journalist.

“We don't give a crap about your opinion & your reporting. Why don't you go back to your country.”

Huge credit to the American reporter for supporting his UK colleague. 👏

A department-wide email went out last week warning everyone in the DOD that a vulnerability was detected in the Signal messaging app, which Hegseth, along with several other administration officials, including JD Vance, used to discuss bombing Houthi targets in Yemen.
