U.S. Lieutenant Governors

I hope it’s the beginning of a new day in this country where we push back against overreach

Maybe he actually believed he said those things and he’s not all there. I mean that.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying soldiers in Los Angeles not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

What Donald Trump wants most is your fealty. Your silence. To be complicit in this moment.

By night, several dozen lawbreakers became violent and destructive, they vandalized property, they tried to assault police officers.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful. Trump and his shock troops are out of control.

Democracy is under assault before our eyes.

This is outrageous, dictatorial, and shameful.

If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you.

California will sue to stop this latest illegal action by a President who is a wholly-owned subsidiary of big polluters.

If Tom Homan comes to Albany to arrest me, I’ll say go for it. You can’t intimidate a governor.

This is a flagrant abuse of power and nothing short of an assault on our American values.

As we speak, an American city has been militarized over the objections of their governor.

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

Our nation needs secure borders. Our nation needs comprehensive immigration reform from this body.

New York has managed an unprecedented immigrant influx because of a broken border.

Clearly there's no invasion, there's no rebellion, it's absurd.

Today is a big day for the Constitution of the United States, for our democracy.

The National Guard will be redeployed to what they were doing before Donald Trump commandeered them.

California may be first – but it clearly won’t end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next.

He’s acting like a “dictator.”

Federal troops be immediately removed from the city.

Trump is not a monarch and should stop acting like one.

The rule of law has increasingly been given way to the rule of Don.
