As you see Trump defending his decision to deploy the National Guard into LA and potentially elsewhere, just remember that he did not order the DC Nat Guard to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6. I debunked that lie, told by some of his prominent surrogates, here: www.justsecurity.org/93316/anatom...

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."⬇️

VFRL condemns Trump’s latest authoritarian overreach. Deploying troops to California without the governor’s consent is unconstitutional and dangerous. This isn’t strength. It’s fear dressed in the uniform of power.

Trump congratulates the National Guard in Los Angeles for doing a great job despite the fact they had not yet even arrived. This brings up a quandary we all face: How do we know when Trump is just brazenly lying versus when he's experiencing another creeping advancement of his cognitive decline?

Everyone should say it: The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism. Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy. But that's not what's interesting about Miller. It's not brains. It's bile.

Wow. What a sign that criminal case against Abrego Garcia may be politically cooked up. "Schrader’s resignation was prompted by concerns that the case was being pursued for political reasons" Schrader spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Nashville and was chief of the criminal division

The decision to pursue charges against Abrego García now, after he wasn't charged in 2022, led to the resignation of Ben Schrader, a high-ranking federal prosecutor who spent 15 years in the U.S. Attorney's Office in Nashville and was most recently the chief of the criminal division.

“Three things made the US a rich and powerful nation: the rule of law, its science & innovation system, and openness to foreign talent. Remarkable how Trump has taken a sledgehammer to all three. No enemy of this country could do more.”

It's beyond depressing to see the way outlets like ABC News and the Washington Post are covering the very thin allegations against Abrego Garcia-- and mininizing the news that the ADA there resigned rather than prosecute this case. THAT is the news, but they're pushing the WH line. Infuriating

In an act of integrity and resistance, a supervisor in the Nashville federal prosecutor’s office resigned over how the Abrego Garcia case was being handled. The charges are bogus, pure political theater meant to justify a wrongful abduction.

I think our big problem is the Democratic party is decent at governing and terrible at culture war tactics, and the Republican party is terrible at governing and great at culture war tactics. And the media loves culture war stories.
