My heart broke to see Americans fighting Americans in our streets yesterday. As I saw ICE agents tackling civilians and firing pepper balls into the crowd, I was overwhelmed by how broken we’ve become. We cannot normalize this violence. Here’s what happened at Delaney Hall: THREADImage
I attempted to gain access to the detention center. GeoGroup guards refused to let me in despite me having ICE approval. I had to call Secretary Mullin directly in order to finally gain access. The GeoGroup manager called me a liar to my face when I said I had difficulty getting in. These for-profit companies are out of control and feel no accountability. (2/13)Image
Dozens of detainees told me that they were being threatened with retaliation for their protesting. Said they were told that they would be transferred if they continued protesting. They kept telling me these aren’t empty threats and invoked the name Martin Soto who was transferred out the day before. (3/13)

Dem leaders told me I was wasting my time running in 2018 for an 85% white House seat that Trump won because I’m Asian American. I stubbornly stayed in the race against a straight White Christian male incumbent and ended up winning. Winning is more than central casting. THREAD Image
Winning is building new meaningful coalitions. We aren’t in a time of normal politics. With 8 million in the streets this weekend, winning in 2026 and 2028 is about movement building. Prioritizing typecasting over authenticity and connection would be a mistake. (2/10) Image
Winning is storytelling. I had consultants tell me not to talk about my immigrant family. Don’t draw attention. But I ended up talking about how my parents moved here 50 yrs ago and fought hard to give me opportunities. How public school gave me education. And how 9/11 gave me the call to serve. (3/10)Image

I was briefed today by President Zelensky’s office about Ukraine’s Operation Spiderweb drone attack on Russian aircraft and it really hits home how this operation will be studied for years to come as an example of a new era of warfare. Here’s what stood out: first, their motto. “SHOOT THE ARCHER, NOT THE ARROW.” THREADImage
The motto of “Shoot the Archer, Not the Arrow” immediately conveys an advancement in their defensive tactics. Not just trying to defend against the artillery, but to hinder Russia’s ability to deliver that artillery in the first place and do substantial damage to its military capabilities. 2/12Image
Extraordinary ROI: Over 117 quadcopters at a cost of $2K each. The Ukrainians told us that 41 aircraft were destroyed or damaged at 4 Russian bases (Olenya, Belaya, Ivanovo, Dyagilovo). If these numbers are true, that would be $7B in damages caused by at least $234K worth of drones. 3/12Image

I worked at the National Security Council for 2 yrs and want to explain why yesterday’s decision to cut nearly everyone is dangerous. This purge will sacrifice our nation’s security so a handful of people can exert more political control. Here’s who wins and who loses. THREAD Image
WHY IT MATTERS: NSC doesn’t have armies/embassies; its power comes from controlling the Situation Room, meaning it’s the only entity that can force others to coordinate/debate. 2/13
I remember when DOD was hesitant to take action to stop a massacre on Sinjar Mountain but an NSC meeting in the SitRoom got everyone to support a plan that saved thousands of lives. 3/13 Image

Stephen Miller said White House was “actively looking at” options to suspend Habeas Corpus/due process in times of invasion/rebellion. Just hours later Miller posts these lies…but look at how he’s lying - saying that Members of Congress “riotously stormed and invaded.” MORE 1/9 Image
First, the Members of Congress were at the facility conducting an oversight inspection. They are permitted by law to do so (DHS Appropriations Act, 2020, Sec. 532)

Here is ICE guidance that acknowledges that Members can visit for oversight. Unannounced visits happen regularly. 2/9Image
The Members who showed up yesterday were given entry to the facility by ICE. They were already lawfully on the premises when the Mayor was arrested. They didn’t break in or invade. They in fact did conduct an official oversight tour of the facility. 3/9

This is the most telling photo I’ve seen — Trump/Vance berating a wartime leader fighting against invasion directly in front of a bust of Churchill. It looks like Churchill is seated in the back, watching Trump kill the very US-Europe alliance that Churchill helped forge. THREAD Image
Why was the Oval Office exchange so humiliating to watch? It’s because every American alive today was born after the Greatest Generation led America’s rise to global leadership. What we saw yesterday was a surrender that could very well lead to American decline. 2/10 Image
What we saw was a retreat from three basic pillars of American leadership: reliability, values, and impact. These are pillars that have been built over generations - from Americans landing on the beaches of Normandy onwards. 3/10 Image
