"everything here was pretty chill today, not sure what all the fuss was about, we don't particularly see any need for escalation" --literally the LAPD

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential... There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.” Without invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

The Insurrection Act is sweeping. It’s a huge grant of power to the President. It is also very expressly for conditions that do not exist in California. And if you’re hypothetically the governor, you should be saying so.

We aren't even six months into this administration and if they are trying to federalize the CA NG as per Newsom, we are cooked.

We were at the federal detention center in downtown LA. They deployed some type of chemical irritant that made people cough and we had to mask. The people here were mainly attorneys, family of those being detained, and two members of Congress. @NormaJTorres

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers. That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.

"So here's the plan -- we impose massive tariffs on the nations that sell us food." "Hmm." "But it's OK, because we just rely more on states like California that grow a lot of the same things." "Oh, I guess that ..." "And then we go to war with California."

Protesting is a delicate balance of ritualized violence, where they bet they can scare people off and the people attempt to make that as expensive as possible. And, every now and then you get someone like this who just tears through their mirage of strength so beautifully.

It's extraordinary how brutal police are willing to be, the lengths to which they are willing to go, the internal solidarity they are willing to show, in order to deliver to U.S. citizens—the protection of whom is their ostensible jobs—the clear message, "we are at war with you."

Any political reporters had the balls to follow up with Trump about the Epstein tapes? Are they just going to let this drift away again? I know that Biden has gotten several days older while all this has unfolded, but ... still.

So, to be clear, Musk has now admitted he funded a man he believes to be a pedophile to be president. And Trump has now admitted that he gave access to high level government secrets to a man he believes to be a big time drug addict. This should be the story on the Sunday shows tomorrow.

The LA protests will trigger a drumbeat of "law and order" messaging from the White House and their media allies as a prelude to invoking the Insurrection Act. This is entirely predictable, and any Dem or media outlet that facilitates this narrative will be aiding Trump's authoritarian project.

just want to underline again that a big part of the reason Musk and Trump fell out is because Musk has been under enormous pressure from public protest that has badly damaged his companies. 1

The NYPD and ICE mistakenly arrested a Chilean woman who is a permanent resident in New York City and left her poor frightened 12 year old daughter on the street alone. She was released approximately six hours later. This is the fearful state of America.

My assumption was always that if Trump had excuted the withdrawal from Afghanistan (as he flirted with in late 2020), there would have been zero effort to evacuate vulnerable Afghans. Actions like this are consistent with that theory.

My advice to Democrats would be to stop letting Republicans set the terms of debate, start making it clear you’re acting on principles instead of polls, and fire Rahm Emmanuel into the sun.
