California Governor Gavin Newsom has formally requested Trump administration officials to rescind the order to deploy the National Guard and return control of the force to California, calling the initial order unlawful and “intentionally designed to inflame the situation.”

“I have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my command,” Newsom wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed. Rescind the order. Return control to California.”

    Nah they’re waiting to be saved by a party that they intentionally ensured had no control over any single segment of the government.

      It’s amazing how every time the Republicans are doing something shitty and the voters didn’t give dems control all some people can do is point out what the dems are or aren’t doing.

        Dems do something 6/10 bad? “Same shit different pile fuck the dems I’m voting Republican”

        Republicans do something 8/10 ghastly? “Wow why didn’t the democrats stop them?”

        I don’t understand what these people expect Democrats to be doing to “fight back”. They have absolutely no legislative power, they’re already filing lawsuits en masse but ALSO don’t control any meaningful courts, and they’re aggressively holding town halls and publishing their message to rally the people. Some of them are getting arrested trying to forcibly do their jobs but no, the Democrats are just letting this happen!!!

        The American people are waiting to be saved by a political party that they intentionally made toothless, but they forget that governing is only allowed at the consent of the governed.
