COMMENTARY: Ukrainians appear reluctant to take at face value at Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s claim last month that he’s ready to quit. In fact, it hardly caused a ripple of interest. And from political opponents it drew scorn and disbelief.

This represents a major escalation. President Trump effort to mobilize TEXAS National Guard for deployment in Portland and Chicago. Court filing just entered in Oregon v. Trump⬇️

It is also incumbent upon these generals to refuse to send troops It has to star sometime

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

wrote this line yesterday: "If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Our refusal to acknowledge that glaringly obvious fact is hampering our response. We’re treating these people as agents of a constituted government when the reality is that such a government no longer exists and all sorts of people are using the trappings of the former Republic to their own ends.

there is no reason we should engage in negotiations over a budget while this is happening

we simply do not have a union anymore if the president is using troops from one state to invade others entirely on the basis of political disagreements

Now it's send up to 400 Texas National Guard troops to Illinois, Oregon and elsewhere to quell the conflict manufactured by Trump and his regime's ICE agents. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Judge Immergut in Oregon v Trump now: "I grant plaintiffs second motion for a TRO." Federalized Texas and California Guard to Portland is a "DIRECT CONTRAVENTION" of court's TRO from Saturday. Both on 12406 statute and Tenth Amendment grounds.

Probably not the best way to get local law enforcement to assist with ICEstapo…

Reminder: Judge Immergut was appointed to the bench by Donald J. Trump.

I’ve been sort of idly keeping track of all the points in the Declaration of Independence’s bill of particulars that arguably apply to the Trump Admin. This is the first four-in-a-row I’ve hit. www.archives.gov/founding-doc...

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

Hey, you guys? Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a federal judge has to remind you (multiple times) that you’re a lawyer and an officer of the court?

ICYMI: My coverage of the hearing is available here: bsky.app/profile/anna...

Judge Immergut has issued her written TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from relocating or deploying federalized national guard troops to Oregon. Here it is:

I have been talking about US autocracy but @dhnexon.bsky.social lays it out more clearly-- the American system has failed. The checks and balances didn't work, so we will need a new constitution and new institutions once the regime is eventually toppled www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/10/the-...

He’s trying to provoke a war.

This is fine although I think she missed a golden opportunity to go down in history and just write ORDER I said what I said. Karin Immergut United States District Judge

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

with Portland there's the depressing addendum that 90% of why this is happening is the right wing media grifter ecosystem got badly addicted to viral Portland content during the Trump years and they've been fiending for another hit ever since

Pritzker is onto it

Sending troops from Texas to forcefully occupy and suppress cities in Illinois and Oregon IN OPPOSITION TO THOSE STATES' GOVERNORS is literally a civil war and it's cooking my brain that Democrats are simply pretending it isn't happening

Love that I've seen ICE's 'promo' videos where they play at Black Hawk down in their helicopters - and then this counter video depicting one person in an inflatable frog costume scaring the bejesus out of them.

wizard frog is insane

All these dudes working for ICE are just McGinty from Max Keeble's Big Move and anthropomorphic frogs (especially of the Scottish variety) are their kryptonite (Only people in a VERY certain age demographic will get this reference)

At what point does a governor call up their National Guard to oppose the deployment of an out-of-state National Guard?

At this point. This is the point. At which this should happen. Right now. Straight to mobilization. If Americans know nothing else, we should know that racists in conservative states are absolutely serious when they threaten to send troops into woke states.

Last month Judge Diane Goodstein blocked SC from giving DOJ voter data. Last week Harmeet Dhillon of the DOJ condemned Goodstein's ruling. Yesterday Stephen Miller called "left wing judges & lawyers" as "terrorists requiring force." Today Judge Goodstein's home is on fire, investigated for arson.

Let’s be clear: Donald Trump is waging war against America with our military.
