This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.
Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Wait: so the President of the United States shared a video of a fake news report, rooted in a conspiracy theory, that features an AI-generated version of himself promoting a policy that…doesn’t exist?
Trump tonight appears to have pushed the false "medbed" conspiracy theory, which has spread in the far-right internet over the years. www.yahoo.com/news/qanon-c...

Monarez: "He did not have any data or science to point to. In fact, we got into an exchange where I suggested I would be open to changing childhood vaccine schedules if the evidence or science were supportive. He responded there was no science or evidence associated w/the childhood vaccine schedule"

ICE grabs a man whose name they don’t even know at his immigration hearing, shackles him, expedites his removal.
Q: Why would anyone ever help our military again? — Trump is endangering and weakening our military.
