The Governor should inform the National Guard members that they must choose to respect the law or leave the Guard. If a Guard members accepts a federal deployment, they will be immediately discharged from the Guard if and when released from federal service.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

A friendly reminder that if you go to a church where the pastor supports the regime that zip tied children in Chicago, you donât have to go to that church anymore. Remember, at a certain point, complacency becomes complicity.

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans. Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies. Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Iâm horrified by Trumpâs order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. Weâre only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If youâre in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Some times in America we have the exact right President in office to lead in crucial moments (i.e. Lincoln). But at other times we have the exact wrong President in office (i.e. Andrew Johnson). Today we have the worst President in our history in office at a most crucial moment.
