How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard? One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended. Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

1/2 Social Studies Class of the Day - Two essential guardrails for our democratic republic are the separation of powers and checks and balances. A president abuses his power, and a government worker goes to court, then returns to work doing the people's business.

Sometimes, They Tell the Truth - Even from a guy who "oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in the nation's history."
