No statement from the so-called President on the MN political assassinations?

No condolences to the families.
No condemnation of political violence.
No nothin’.

We need to keep reminding everyone that TSF derailed the bipartisan immigration bill prior to the election

so he could run on the issue of illegals. And look what he’s doing with that issue….TOTALLY UNNECESSARY!!

June 16, 2025

So, TSF is calling for expanded deportation efforts in Democratic run cities.

You know he's angling for some eruptions of violence sparked by the heat of summer.

Per Gov. Newsom: Don't let him have what he wants.

The headline reads: Some far-left groups have goaded peaceful protests to turn violent, experts say.

Talk about slanted coverage: I'm sure it's just as much the far-right groups that are the perpetrators of violence. It was determined so in Minneapolis during the George Floyd protests.

Assigning military to the deportation protests to take our attention from Medicaid/Medicare cuts and

the judicial branch changes they're trying to ram through.

The Medicaid/Medicare cuts that didn't pass on the first round. Thune has "working groups" trying to put together changes that will get it to pass by July 4.

Don't forget, it was the town halls that saved the ACA....

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom is giving an address this evening at 9:30 pm Eastern

An email just received from Gavin Newsom:


Gavin Newsom here: I will be delivering a major address TONIGHT in response to President Trump's assault on democracy and his illegal militarization of Los Angeles.

I'm calling it "Democracy at a Crossroads" and it will start approximately at 6:30 p.m. PT, 9:30 p.m. ET.

You can watch it on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and other sites across the internet. It will also be at those links for viewing and sharing afterward.

I hope you will tune in. - Gavin

I'm posting emails from Gavin Newsom from yesterday and today (the parts without photos and videos because...):

I appreciate he's telling the story that the news isn't and the truth of the situation....

Yesterday:

Last night, President Trump and his administration ordered the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 United States Marines to Los Angeles.

Let me be totally clear on what this has been about from the very beginning -- and it cannot be said enough:

This is a theatrical display of toughness from an increasingly unhinged president that is DESIGNED to escalate tensions and violence in Los Angeles that he hopes will spread to other parts of the state and country.

California has never sided with violent anarchists that loot and destroy public property and take advantage of situations like these. We have arrested those that have broken the law and will continue to do so. Keeping Californians safe has always been our number one priority.

But, for Donald Trump, that’s not what this is about.

He wants spectacle and violence, because he thinks it is good for him politically.

Here's a brief update I'd like you to watch from an interview I did yesterday with Pod Save America. It includes information about our lawsuit to stop Donald Trump's illegal deployments and much more.

Thank you for reading. I will have much more later today.

******************************************
This Morning:

Just a quick update from Los Angeles, mostly involving Donald Trump's illegal deployment of the National Guard and United States Marines into a major American city.

First, we filed an emergency motion to block the deployments. Trump is turning the military against American citizens and the courts must immediately block these actions.

Second, it's important for you to know that Trump sent the National Guard here without fuel, water, food or even any kind of clarity of mission. Many of them are just sitting around, or forced to sleep on the floor piled on top of one another.

Finally, for all of those who caught Donald Trump's press conference earlier today, he said that we spoke yesterday. We did not. There was no call or voicemail.

It is, frankly, more than a little bit concerning that a president deploying Marines onto our streets doesn't even know who he's talking to about it.

Stay tuned please. I should have more tonight.

Gavin Newsom

Meanwhile, Pope Leo has a sellout crowd scheduled for June 14....and he's not even going to

be there in person!


Eat your heart out, TACO....
