I’d put it even more strongly. They are trying to create the conditions for invoking the Insurrection Act. They are doing this, with their own unlawful and vicious conduct. If they invoke the Insurrection Act, it will be illegitimate in every sense of the word.

These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.

“They want to loot the health of ordinary families to enhance their own wealth.” Sen. Ed Markey nails it: Elon Musk says Trump’s $800B in health care cuts aren’t enough. He wants deeper cuts—then demands $190B in tax breaks for himself. That’s billionaire looting, paid for by your health care.

16 million Americans losing health coverage. The biggest cut to Medicaid in history. Higher health, energy, and housing costs. Tax cuts for billionaires, tax hikes for working people. $3 trillion added to the national debt. The Republican bill is a “disgusting abomination.”
