This is definitely illegal. The federalization of the national guard was illegal. The only statute they've bothered to cite simply does not allow this stuff without going through the governor.

It's necessary to keep pointing out: all this is not because ICE wants to deport murderers and rapists. It's because ICE is going to Home Depot parking lots, courthouses, and elementary school graduations to round up peaceful families, many seeking asylum, which means they are here legally.

A reminder that executive orders are meant to execute the law ("faithfully" even!) -- not to prevent it from being executed at all.

They should consider incentivizing people to join by offering them tenure protections, collective bargaining rights, and relative autonomy. I bet you could convince a lot of really good people to sign up for less than they’d make in the private sector.

If anything, it is understated in our public consciousness how “North Korean” we have gotten in such a short period of time, even compared to Trump’s first term. We are only a few short months in and already upwards of a BILLION has been spent on making this one guy feel good about himself:

In 1936, FDR closed out his re-election campaign by bragging to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that “organized money” hated him “and I welcome their hatred.” He took 60% of the vote in a 523-8 electoral college landslide. FDR knew having the right enemies could be a useful thing.
