Newsom saying a military force, for which he is the commander in chief, was deployed without his consent. (NG units require a declaration of national emergency or actual threat of rebellion to be federalized.) Newsom says legal action is coming tomorrow.

Newsom: We talked for 20 minutes, this issue never came up. I kept trying to talk about LA, he wanted to talk about all these other issues. He never once brought up the national guard. There’s no working with the President. There’s only working for him. I will never work for Trump

Trump is attacking every source of university income (research grant cancellations, a proposed endowment tax, cutting Pell Grant eligibility and in the 'big beautiful bill' changing the student loan program). It's a declaration of fiscal war on universities with students as collateral damage.

The bill that passed the House of Representatives already had close to $800 billion in cuts to Medicaid, the largest provider of long-term care to seniors in the country. And it explodes the deficit with tax cuts for the wealthy so much that it would trigger about $500 billion in cuts to Medicare.

We’ve been in touch with local law enforcement in LA. They have the resources they need to meet the moment, and we stand ready to assist should the need arise. There is no emergency and the President’s order calling in the National Guard is unnecessary and counterproductive.

We @lawfaremedia.org will hopefully publish something on this soon but fwiw the legal authority invoked is NOT the Insurrection Act — it’s 10 USC 12406, which is much more limited than an Insurrection Act invocation. (Reporters: Chris Mirasola is the expert to talk to about this)

BREAKING: please, everyone, turn on local news. there is NOTHING going on in LA. Its over, the protest broke up hours ago. Local news helicopters are trolling for trouble and there's none. Just some LAPD/LASD road blocks. If they 'send the Guard' now, its just because they really really want to.

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to anybody. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.
