Trump wants a confrontation, wants to see the situation erupt. No American president should behave like this. No kings.

Trump’s federalization of the CA National Guard under 10 USC § 12406 is illegal. The law requires that orders be issued “through the Governors of the States.” Gov Gavin Newsom has not issued the orders. Guard troops in LA are following unlawful orders. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10…

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

This draft dodger, who liked to pretend he was in the military by wearing this cute little costume in high school, is planning to use our real military domestically against US citizens. This violates the Posse Comitatus Act enacted in 1878 to stop our military being used as a domestic police force.

RE: Oz's "your free Medicaid." 1. Medicaid funds include state/fed tax$. 2. Tax $ includes taxes paid by applicant. 3. Applicant may not "pay" directly for Medicaid, but pays indirectly through state and fed taxes. 4. Medicaid is "free" but it might not pay the entire bill. Applicant pays that.

@charlesgaba.com I can't get into the Daily Beast but it's probably quoted in other places, as well.

@charlesgaba.com "prove that they matter"..."free Medicaid." Charles, do you have any idea what Oz is talking about? I'm familiar w/Mass health, but how much weight do states have in setting eligibility? Obviously if state wants the $ they do what CMS says but how much say do they have, if any?
