San Francisco doesn't need the National Guard. Mayor Lurie has been doing a great job with homelessness and crime in the city.
Sending the National Guard here would be wasteful, asinine, and purely cynical. No more troops in our cities!

Plenty of sunscreen, tons of water, and all the high school Spanish I could remember were essential for a great weekend canvassing for @dejafoxx.bsky.social and a new generation of leadership in Tucson! ☀️ It's time for Gen Z to show our power!

Republicans spent a decade lecturing America about the national debt. Today, they overwhelmingly voted to explode the deficit.
It was never about principles. It was always about power. They're not fiscal hawks; they're just Trump's political pawns. #GOPRubberStamp

Trump is Bush 2.0. Attacking Iran when they were open to a peace deal?
How many Americans are going to die because of this? How many billions will we fork over to defense contractors?
This isn't America First. It's Special Interests First.

As predicted, Trump failed to be an America First president. He failed to stop new wars. When will MAGA see that Trump is a colossal failure and a security risk?

LA, please keep things peaceful! Trump wants you to escalate, he's baiting you. Definitely go out and protest peacefully, but don't give him propaganda!

Deploying the National Guard to LA is blatant misconduct. But Marines? That's totally unnecessary and wrong.
Here's a simple solution to the protests: stop terrorizing immigrant communities!

It's glorious to finally see Elon and Trump go at it.
News flash Elon: Trump never cared about the budget or helping ordinary people. It's a huge grift!
You should never have supported a serial liar and narcissist who only cares about himself and his rich friends.

Even former Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert is saying that Israel is committing war crimes in Gaza. This needs to stop now!
If Netenyahu keeps this up for one moment longer, all of Israel's allies should withdraw support and sanction the country. Enough is enough!

Trump just paused all student visa interviews to prepare "expanded social media screening" for applicants.
It's Orwellian to the max. If you care about free speech (as we all should), you should be totally against this and all the other Trump transgressions. No thought police!

I'm very sympathetic to Biden. But the extent of his decline and the tacit cover-up are unacceptable. More than that, they are a total indictment of the Democratic party leadership who pushed Biden over Bernie in 2020. They failed us!

Trump is one of the most anti-free speech presidents we've ever had. Detaining people for op-eds, going after universities, exploding at reporters in the Oval Office. The list goes on.
Completely unconstitutional and undefendable behavior!

Russia launched its largest aerial assault on Ukraine last night.
It's clear Putin doesn't want or care about peace. He just cares about domination.
We have to be strong, bring Putin to the table, and have a peace deal that stops further aggression. Folding guarantees more war.

Trump's nuclear energy directives are (surprisingly) good moves. But why does he continue to ignore and disparage the energy sources with the biggest energy potential: renewables!
We need to leverage ALL energy sources to stay ahead.

The "big, beautiful bill" is actually a horrible, debt-inducing monstrosity that will cut $700B from Medicaid, $267M from SNAP, and add over $4T to the debt all so the rich can have another tax break.

Netanyahu's brutality in Gaza has to end now. No more famine. No more bombing. No more displacement.
No more US aid until there is a new Israeli government that plays by the rules and acts ethically. Think about the children!
