Hopefully this gets him going

WATCH: “We are not the enemy, sir. We have different morals. We have different values.”

Rep. Jason Crow—U.S. Army Vet—challenged Sec. Hegseth directly after he used language that blurs the line between our military and extremists.

Leadership matters. So does the tone it sets.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

When Congress funded the DOD, there was no line item for big-boy birthday presidential military parades. Where did the money for Trump’s vainglorious spectacle come from? Cutting Army pay and benefits? Reducing training? Or just Departmental slush funds from bloated annual budgets?

[Brian Cardone 🏴‍☠️🇺🇦 @cardon_brian]

If y’all want to see a dead body take five minutes to watch Rep Moulton (D-MA) question Hegseth about Signal Gate. After watching this there is no doubt in my mind that Pete needs to step down as Secretary of Defense. The lunatics are running the asylum.

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

BREAKING: Unbelievable. AOC EXPOSES the Trump Administration for ending legal status in the US and MAKING people undocumented - then having the audacity to call them illegal when they were here documented. This is evil.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Turns out, chasing hard working people through ranches and farms and snatching women and children off the streets is not good policy.

[Ted Lieu @tedlieu]

Dear @DeptofDefense: Hegseth should resign. Military officers involved in the illegal federalization of the CA National Guard should resign. The law was clear and you executed an unlawful order.

Trump is an authoritarian. But you as military officers know better. Shame on you.

[The Associated Press @AP]

BREAKING: A federal judge says Trump illegally deployed the National Guard to help with LA protests and must return control to California. https://t.co/zTMeR5RoPx

[Jim Stewartson, Decelerationist 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇺🇸 @jimstewartson]

Asked why he is sending troops into LA, the actual president issued the following vowel movement:
“They'd be there a little bit, but it seems to be getting less and less because they're going there and they met with a very heavy force. And if they weren't, you would have that city right now would be on fire. It would be burning down the rest of it once left over because the other fire was started because they wouldn't allow water into LA. They wouldn't allow water into California because they had it all shifted out to the Pacific Ocean. And I turned it around and I told them to do it at my first term and they didn't do it. We had COVID and they didn't do it. And I told them to do it. We did it in the second. Now we have billions of gallons of water flowing down, but do some should have done this. He's an incompetent man and an incompetent governor. Okay, any other questions?”

Where are the adults to provide an alternate to this alternate reality?

[Aaron Reichlin-Melnick @ReichlinMelnick]

ICE confirms that they are using California National Guard troops, deputized over the objection of the state's governor, to support ICE arrest operations.

Remember when people freaked out over Jade Helm, or thought Biden was going to deploy troops? Crickets from those folks.

Javiera Montero was detained for 8 hours before NYPD was forced to admit she committed no crimes and was just vacationing in New York.

Please share her story.

[Rep. Jimmy Gomez @RepJimmyGomez]

Denied access again—even though I’m legally entitled to enter the facility whenever I arrive, per federal law.

Once again, they claimed it was “unsafe”… even though I was literally the only one there at 9am! No protestors. No violence. Total bullshit.

I’ll be back!

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Let’s be clear: Israel, an occupier, has no authority under international law to board or divert the Madleen.

This is a hijacking, plain and simple. A hijacking of a UK-registered ship, with multiple *European* citizens on board.

Anything to say @Keir_Starmer or @vonderleyen?

[VoteVets @votevets]

🚨 There’s nothing about the situation on the ground that warrants a military response. Using Troops for political stunts pulls them from the real work of protecting Americans.

[Tammy Duckworth @SenDuckworth]

Let’s be clear: this isn’t about “law and order,” it’s about creating chaos.

Our National Guard should be used when absolutely necessary and when local law enforcement needs it—

Not forced on our communities to intimidate citizens and inflame tensions Trump created in the first place.

Trump is using military force to crush civilian dissent.

It’s un-American.

[MeidasTouch @MeidasTouch]

LAPD blames the Feds for creating hazardous conditions and impacting the ability for local law enforcement to respond

[Seth Abramson @SethAbramson]

So Miller incited the protests by ordering officials he’d no authority over to ditch the policy of only seeking persons with criminal records and instead demanded they raid *Home Depots* to get the max number of nonviolent folks

The whole thing was a scam https://t.co/dy72t71kL0

[Senator Mark Kelly @SenMarkKelly]

First, Trump arrested a mayor, a member of Congress, and a labor leader. Now, he’s sending in the National Guard — against the advice of local leaders — when police are best equipped to ensure safety and prevent violence.

How’d we get here? Trump decided to prioritize ripping apart families and communities instead of focusing on dangerous criminals.

This isn’t law and order. This isn’t making our country safer or fixing our border. And it isn’t leadership.

Q: "Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of Los Angeles?"

Johnson: "I don't think that's heavy handed."

Q: "You don't think sending Marines into the streets of an American city is heavy handed?"

Johnson: "We have to be prepared to do what is necessary."
