“Governors are the Commanders in Chief of their National Guard and the federal government activating them in their own borders without consulting or working with a state’s governor is ineffective and dangerous.” And per California it’s also illegal: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

“Kennedy’s move appears to violate a pledge he made to Sen. Bill Cassidy (R) during his confirmation process that he would ‘maintain the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices without changes’” 👏🏼 That’s why you don’t vote to confirm these people 👏🏼

Trump incited attacks against law enforcement. He then pardoned the attackers. Now he says he won’t tolerate attacks against law enforcement. But what he means is he feels very comfortable using force against those who disagree with him. In fact few ideas are more core to his presidency. Thugocracy.

As you ponder the likely consequences of the new steel tariffs, it's worth asking: A. How long does it take to build a steel mill? B. How long do you expect Trump's new 50% steel tariff to last? If A>B, then how can you expect any lasting gains from these tariffs?

Trump is now blasting Leonard Leo & the Federalist Society for doing him wrong on suggesting which federal judges to nominated. That's right, Trump is biting the hand that feeds him...judges. Trump's desperation is showing. He's getting weaker, not stronger. This will not end well for Donald Trump.
