Mayor Bass: This morning, it was frightening in Los Angeles to see tanks essentially rolling into MacArthur Park.

It was an egregious show of force. I have no idea what their purpose was. I don’t even think they detained anyone.

Los Angeles was peaceful before June 5. We need to go back to that.

If Republicans won’t conduct oversight on Trump’s illegal immigration actions, I will.

@calltoactivism 🚨Holy sh*t. Iranian TV just broadcasted a map of U.S military bases in the region: “Mr. President, YOU started it - WE will finish it!”

How many American lives has Trump’s recklessness put on the line?

Defend yourself. #fuckice
