Pursuant to Executive Order 10030, 26 January, 1949: Under federal law, the president is the commander-in-chief of the D.C. Guard. The president authorizes the secretary of defense to supervise and control the D.C. Guard while in its militia status (i.e., not deployed overseas). The secretary may order the Guard mobilized to aid D.C. civil authorities, but subject only to the direction of the president. Thus, while reports circulated about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser requesting the Guard to help restore order, only the president, or his secretary of defense, may order it to do so. The D.C. mayor has no authority and is not in the chain of command of the D.C. Guard. Educate yourself Republicans. The only person responsibility for Not deploying The National Guard on January 6th is Donald Trump by Executive Order 10030. read more

McCarthy is the worst politician that represents me in federal, state, or local government. He's never "in his Bakersfield office" according to his staff, even when you make an appointment to see him. He never schedules any event when his constituents at large can speak with him, stages fake "Telephone Town Halls" that don't include a town or a hall, and will ignore you and walk away if you happen to see him in public and ask him a question. He lies every day on his official Facebook page and all press briefings and announcements and refuses to comment when the media catches him in a lie. read more
