BREAKING: California Congresswoman Maxine Waters incinerates Donald Trump as “cruel” and “dishonorable” for his brutal crackdown in Los Angeles and warns that government guns could “end up being used” on protestors.
And she wasn’t done there…
“I don’t know why we have guns. What are those guns for? Are they to shoot protesters? I mean, there’s no reason to be here with the National Guard,” Waters said on CNN.
“The president of the United States is a cruel, dishonorable human being who would just as soon as shoot somebody down,” she added. “But I don’t want that to happen… I want the elected officials to do everything that we can to dissuade them.”
In a post on X, Waters explained her efforts against this fascist overreach by Trump—
“Today, I came to the Metropolitan Detention Center to exercise my constitutional rights as a Member of Congress to check on the safety and conditions of SEIU California President David Huerta, who was arrested by ICE. I pled with the National Guard, which was heavily armed, not to use their weapons against peaceful demonstrators who were simply exercising their rights to freedom of speech and protest,” she wrote.”
“All people deserve to be treated with dignity and due process under the law,” Waters continued.
“Peaceful, nonviolent demonstrations are critical to protecting our constitutional rights!”
In the video accompanying her words, she warned that the troops might have “orders to shoot and kill” because otherwise they wouldn’t need so much firepower. She ripped Trump for targeting the “poorest people in the land” to forward his political career.
The people of California need our support right now. Amplify the messages of the brave protestors and Democratic lawmakers putting themselves on the line for our democracy. If we fail to meet this moment the results will be disastrous for future generations.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you stand with California against Trump’s fascism!
Kamala: "Fired by 81 million people and he's having a hard time processing that." "World leaders are laughing at Donald Trump." "Military leaders say you're a disgrace."
Trump: Victor Orban likes me!
Mondays 4th Ethics report will be filled on Congressman Menendez (not to be confused with the senator).
While congressman Menedez has not been invoked by the diligent investigation of the DOJ into his father, there remains a question of what did he know and when did he know it, the complaint is to seek clarification from the freshman congressman on his involvement with his fathers overseas dealing over the years and any potential compensation he received.
I think it’s a fair point to make sure we weed out the doubt surrounding Rep Menendez and his business associations with his father.
I will leave it to the office of congressional ethics to investigate the material I’ll be submitting to them.

There is going to be a lot of debate on this website about the politics and optics of what @BetoORourke did today, but I will say that the traditional political ways of responding have not yielded any results or prevented future shootings
Governor Abbott, if you have any decency, you will immediately withdraw from this weekend’s NRA convention and urge them to hold it anywhere but Texas.
@mattgaetz Uh oh. Looks like another smart woman turned @mattgaetz down so he has to angry tweet about feminists. Stick to what you’re good at - worshipping at Trumps feet while you try and hide from your crimes.
@SarahKSilverman You’ll always have a fan here. And I’m on holiday in the UK and reading this terrible news at home. I think your prior version is appropriate.
In case you haven’t heard: Rolling Stone reported that Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebert, Madison Cawthorn + others were in regular contact with January 6th Protest organizers.
Please retweet this far and wide to spread awareness.
@christineyeargs @kkisses13 You’re a monster for saying that there are zero reasons. What kind of person celebrates women being forced to have their rapist’s EMBRYO? Young women. You’re a disgrace.
@christineyeargs That makes absolutely no sense. How is a personal choice of one’s body oppression? If the government forced you to get abortions, that would be oppression. People like you want to be oppressed so badly, but won’t even look up what oppression is?
@GregAbbott_TX How dare you? Maybe you should add protecting Texans by requiring masks and reporting Covid outbreaks in schools. You are a disgrace to Texas.
