Critically important point from Juliette. The only real justification for federalizing the nat guard over a governors objection is when the civil authorities are defying the law. This is attack on the sovereign right of the people of California to self government.

I’m seeing all these debates here about whether violence can be justified in some circumstances. That’s not helpful. It is beside the point. This is a battle over legitimacy and the field of that battle is public opinion. This is a flagrant abuse of power. It is a crisis entirely of the Presidents..

Result: Gina Ortiz Jones will be the next mayor of San Antonio. The Democrat, and former Biden admin official, just defeated Republican Rolando Pablos in the country’s seventh most populous city. (She’s going to replace a retiring Dem.)

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” Without invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

Trump is sending 2,000 National Guardsmen to California — a move Gov. Gavin Newsom says is "purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions." "The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery. This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust."

Feel like the news reporting on this is very lazy. What national guard is Homan (a thug gangster if there ever was one) deploying exactly? The CA national guard is under the authority of Gov Newsom. Trump cld nationalize the guard. But we're not hearing anything abt that.

We never had to worry about the U.S. military being used against our own country when Biden was president. But that’s exactly what’s happened under both Trump administrations.

Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein: some undisputed facts

submitted 15 hours ago • 91 comments

Trump tries to dismiss his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein as “old news that’s been talked about for years,” citing the attorney who represented both him and Epstein to deny any wrongdoing.

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Damian Williams, the former top federal prosecutor in Manhattan, is leaving the law firm Paul Weiss to join the Jenner & Block firm. He's defecting from a firm that struck a deal with the Trump admin and joining one that fought Trump's retribution efforts in court.

@whstancil.bsky.social If Biden's top campaign donor turned on him and accused him of being connected to a child sex trafficker and his DOJ was covering it up, would the press cover it as a "feud"? Every Democrat would be hounded about it. Garland would be hauled before congress. It would be 🚨 24/7.

Completely insane viewpoint. The insane president’s most important ally - the drug-addicted wealthiest man on earth - accused him of being a pedophile and said he should be impeached. Seems important! Seems like it tells us something about these men! Seems like it could have consequences!

Let's be fair here. Just because Elon says that Trump is in the Epstein files and just because there are dozens of photos with Trump & Epstein together and just because Trump called Epstein a "terrific guy" who "likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side"...
