It's times like these when Dems in LA must understand that despite having a democratic mayor, voting against Trump, despite being in a sanctuary city where cops should not be working with ICE, if we keep funneling our taxpayer dollars into the LAPD they will always be complicit in our repression.

At least 40 people lost their lives over the weekend as storms ravaged the country.

Meanwhile, Trump & DOGE are planning to terminate over 1,000 employees from NOAA — the agency that provides essential severe weather forecasting and warnings.

What’s efficient about that?

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

DOGE's next target is the CFPB, which has returned $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011.

Trump just fired its pro-consumer director and had his Treasury Secretary, a hedge fund manager, halt the CFPB's work.

This is a coup against the American people.

Kash Patel took the 5th before agreeing to testify before a grand jury.

Now he doesn’t want to share his testimony about Trump's unlawful retention of classified documents.

@booker.senate.gov, @whitehouse.senate.gov, and I sent a letter demanding that he disclose what he said. It is essential.

The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

If this is his "peace" policy, I'd hate to see his war policy.

They're okay with an unelected billionaire who has no congressional authority having his hands on the Treasury's payment system and your Social Security number.
