Trump’s federalization of the CA National Guard under 10 USC § 12406 is illegal. The law requires that orders be issued “through the Governors of the States.” Gov Gavin Newsom has not issued the orders. Guard troops in LA are following unlawful orders. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…

I agree with Gov Gavin Newsom that Trump’s take over of the CA National Guard is purposefully inflammatory. I also note this federalization is being done under 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which means the Guard troops will still be subject to the prohibitions in the Posse Comitatus Act.

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

WE WILL NOT BE INTIMIDATED. I stand with SEIU California. I stand with President David Huerta. As Americans, we have the absolute First Amendment right to peacefully observe. As a result of extreme ICE actions, more Americans will righteously exercise our rights to monitor ICE.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

Maybe this is old fashion, but the goal of government is not to hasten the deaths of Americans. Republicans should reread the bible – Jesus did exactly the opposite of what they’re doing with their Big Ugly Bill.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialMay 30(source)

GOP Senator Joni Ernst is correct that we all are going to die. But it shouldn’t be as a result of Republicans’ big, ugly bill.

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Trump cares more about celebrities convicted of tax fraud than Americans who rely on Medicaid and SNAP.

When mother nature strikes, she doesn’t ask for your political affiliation first. Californians deserve disaster aid, just like any other state would.

Another day, another scandal under Hegseth. This is not silly stuff like Hegseth using taxpayer funds for a Pentagon makeup studio. The allegation here is an illegal wiretap. If they used an illegal wiretap on a senior official, you think they wouldn’t hesitate to use it on you?

Today, we honor those who sacrificed everything in service to America. We are forever indebted to our fallen heroes and their loves ones. Their courage and dedication must never be forgotten.

What do you get when you add deficit exploding tax cuts for billionaires to wide-ranging & indiscriminate tariffs? An economy that doesn’t work for everyday Americans.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialMay 22(source)

30-year mortgage rates jump to 7.5%, one of the highest levels in the last two decades. Trump and Republicans reckless economic policies—as exemplified in their big, ugly bill that explodes the deficit—caused yields and rates to increase.

Today, Secretary Rubio told the Foreign Affairs Committee that they’re negotiating with Putin to save lives. But, right before his conversation with Trump, Putin launched a bunch of missiles, killing a bunch of civilians. Clearly, Putin is giving the middle finger to President Trump.

Ted Lieu@tedlieu.bsky.socialMay 21(source)

Deeply, deeply saddened by the passing away of Representative Gerry Connolly, an amazing Member of Congress. I had the honor of serving with him on the Foreign Affairs Committee and greatly enjoyed his friendship, his wit and his leadership. May he rest in peace.

Republicans are having a meeting on their big ugly bill at 1am. Why? Because they don’t want the American public to know what’s in the bill.

The criminal charge against Congresswoman McIver is extreme, morally bankrupt and lacks any basis in law or fact. This is a blatant attempt to intimidate Congress & interfere with our ability to serve as a check and balance on an out-of-control executive branch. Democrats will not be intimidated.

Congratulations to Nicusor Dan, President-Elect of Romania! He defeated a far right candidate that aligned with Trump and some GOP Congressmembers. An earlier presidential election was cancelled because of Russia’s election interference. This result is also a setback for Russia.
