We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

Trump quoted Hitler and said he'd unleash the National Guard against the "enemy from within" before the election. Here we are folks.

Oh for the good old days when every editorial board in America LOUDLY demanded the Clintons shut down their charitable organization for fear it would be used to curry favor w/Hillary if she became President 🙃

Did you see the @wired.com story by @agreenberg.bsky.social about the "AirBorne" defects discovered in Apple's AirPlay software stack? These vulnerabilities render the discontinued and unsupported Airport Express devices immediately obsolete and dangerous to operate. PLS Share! chng.it/PSngnLgxpk

This is what happens when a TV host wants a light and breezy piece about the movie industry, but their guest is an economics professor who wants to use it as a teaching moment, explaining how tariffs on movies are a metaphor for broader economic consequences.

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Schumer MUST GO!

Why isn’t @schumer.senate.gov rallying every Senate Democrat to slam Trump on the economy—like Republicans slammed Biden? Trump caused this mess. So what are we waiting for? Every day, effective Senators should be flooding Fox, CNN, MSNBC, Newsmax—everywhere. Move the needle further!

Gerry Connolly announced he is stepping down as ranking member on the Oversight Committee. It's go time. @aoc.bsky.social HAS MORE THAN EARNED THAT SEAT. Democrats must allow the next generation to lead - I don't want to hear one more excuse about it. #TeamAOC

Stop saying “democrats are failing” because that includes AOC, Frost, Crockett, Booker etc - and they’re NOT failing. Name the people failing you, and don’t let them drag the whole party down with them.

The 19 richest U.S. households saw a $1 trillion wealth increase in 2024, a rise that exceeds the size of Switzerland’s economy. These 19 households now control $2.6 trillion in wealth — almost as much wealth as the bottom 50% of American households. If this isn't an oligarchy, what is?

Update on this. Apparently the bill just passed the House... 409-2. So, uh, yeah. A ton of Dems just gave the Trump FTC more power to censor the internet. Great job guys.

Hegseth abolished a very important planning office in the Pentagon, and it’s one that I have worked with in the past, the Office of Net Assessment. The ONA is a DoD internal think tank that plans up to 30 years in the future. Getting rid of this office severely weakens our future readiness!

BREAKING: Police just surrounded Rev. William Barber, prominent activist and pastor, as he and others prayed in the U.S. Capitol Rontunda. Police then expelled everyone (including press!) from the Rotunda to (presumably) arrest them. I've covered protests here a lot. Never seen anything like it.
