John,

Trump’s actions to federalize the California National Guard and send Marines into our communities is a reckless, unnecessary waste of taxpayer dollars.

It is a purposeful escalation because he wants to distract Americans from the failures of his administration, and from his administration's blatant attacks on working families.

I spoke to CNN about the protests and Trump’s chaotic response. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to watch and share my interview.

Standing with everyone peacefully protesting,
