MAGA: “The 2nd Amendment guarantees a militia to fight tyranny!” Also MAGA: “It’s fine that Trump seized California’s National Guard against the governor’s will.” You can’t have it both ways. Read why this matters. adamkinzinger.substack.com/p/a-well-reg...

Aside from the questionable conclusion of this answer, which is both stupid and dangerous, Mike Johnson was literally a constitutional lawyer before becoming a lawmaker.

New in PN: ABC is too cowed to state the obvious about Stephen Miller "Miller and Trump are hateful bigots. Independent journalists can still say that. Journalists at ABC can’t, because the president gets a veto over their coverage. That’s not democracy and it’s not a free press. It’s fascism."

Meiselas: Trump earlier today echoed what his border czar, Tom Homan, said—that they want you arrested. Newsom: Was that said by Erdoğan? Who was that said by? Was that some dictator? Some authoritarian from the history books? No—that was said by the president of the United States.

Grossly escalatory and illegal Sunday Noem letter to Hegseth requested DoD give "direction to DoD forces to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them."

<Thread> I figure I need to explain how extreme and irresponsible is the June 7 Memorandum federalizing the National Guard and authorizing regular armed forces. Those saying anything in support of this action may not realize what they’ve gotten into. (It will also escalate from here.) Preview⤵️

Far from the first one to say this. But agrobusiness regions, even in blue states, are generally in red areas. They're heavily dependent on undoc'd labor. Take the dairy industry in Kristi Noem's home state or in CA. we're not seeing any of these raids there. not zero. but they're getting a pass.

If you’re watching @maddow.msnbc.com’s A Block you understand that people who stand up for other people can change the course of those people’s lives & our history. We have the power to refuse Trump’s path forward. Protesting actually works. Let’s go.

The contrast and absurdity is so brazen. They're literally raiding Home Depots to find whatever guys are there to get work as day laborers. People eager for work. And the ICE agents has zero idea who they are or any criminal background.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

California says that the Trump admin did not even reach out to them before purporting to federalize the state National Guard. Soon after Trump signed the order, Hegseth sent a memo to the Adjutant General, who shared the memo with the Governor's Office and then relinquished control to USNORTHCOM.
