Former lieutenant governors
The National Guard’s deployment to Los Angeles County has pulled troops away from their families and civilian work to serve as political pawns for the President.
It will be resolved when [Trump] doesn’t get any attention.
It’s weakness masquerading as strength. That’s what I don’t like about this son of a bitch. I don’t.

Hope you enjoy your family time, @JDVance. The families you’re tearing apart certainly won’t.
California prosecutes child exploiters and traffickers. Trump tear-gasses children, rips them from their parents, and deports farmworkers. Priorities.
We cannot accomplish what those objectives were back in before I became governor in a time frame that’s not going to hurt ratepayers.
Sorry the Constitution hurt your feelings, Stephen. Cry harder.
Instead of targeting the most dangerous people, federal officials have been arbitrarily detaining Americans and hardworking people, ripping families apart, and disappearing people into cruel detention to meet outrageous arrest quotas…
