No one is above the law. The public deserves transparency & accountability from government leaders. We'll be in court to get answers.

Stephen Miller said last year this was the plan. They said it out loud. Some of us highlighted his remarks at the time and warned how dangerous they were. Most of the media missed them and/or moved on from them. It’s happening:

From Militarizing the Streets of America to Judge "Excoriating" Trump for Violating 1st Amendment youtu.be/bvnZpb7rnSg?...

Pritzker says Texas Guard is also now being sent to Portland, Chicago and other locations outside of Texas.

Judge Immergut then set a hearing for 7 pm PT/10 pm ET regarding the second motion for a restraining order. There's a call-in line for the hearing, but a pre-recorded message is currently repeating "Waiting for your host to join" over and over again. TBD if we'll get remote access to the hearing.

Oregon then filed a motion for a second restraining order, and the state of California joined Oregon's suit. Additionally, the government filed a notice of appeal to the 9th Circuit with respect to the first injunction issued by Immergut.

A quick TL;DR for those who haven’t been following along over the past few hours. Yesterday, a Trump-appointed judge blocked the president’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard. Trump tried to circumvent that ruling by sending already-federalized California national guard troops to Portland.

HAPPENING NOW: Emergency hearing before Judge Karin Immergut on Trump's effort to circumvent her temporary restraining order re: Oregon national guard deployment. I plan to listen in for @lawfaremedia.org. Follow along (court remote access technology permitting...) ⬇️🧵

This was very smart and quick litigating by all of the plaintiffs involved.

NEW: Oregon and Portland filed an amended complaint in their lawsuit against Trump tonight, with a new plaintiff added who is joining them: California. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Trump's FAA just lifted restrictions placed on Boeing after its fatal 737 MAX crashes. Meanwhile, Boeing workers in St. Louis just entered their ninth week on strike. Putting profits over workers and safety is a key reason why Boeing has taken a nosedive.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Just in: State of California joins Oregon and Portland in Amended Complaint in wake of President Trump's alleged effort to send federalized California National Guard troops to Portland - despite Judge's Saturday evening temporary restraining order. Key:⤵️ storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

"Additionally, California Military Department Executive Leadership learned that all 300 federalized California National Guard personnel will be imminently deployed to Portland."

State of play: "As of 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, October 5 one transport carrying approximately 100 federalized California National Guard personnel had already departed from Los Angeles to Portland, with additional transport scheduled for later in the day."

I assume the judge will not be happy with this "After this Court issued a temporary restraining order...Army Northern Command communicated to the California Military Department Executive Leadership that they intended to send 200 of the federalized California National Guard personnel...to Portland.”

Former FCC Chair Wheeler: An autocrat's favorite tool is a monopoly on telling the story. And if you can control the people who tell that story, then you've got an autocrat's greatest dream.

Trump’s disdain for the law and court orders is like nothing we’ve ever seen. We will fight it.

A federal judge in Oregon strikes down Trump’s effort to mobilize their national guard troops against their own citizens in Portland. So now he is trying to move California’s Guard troops north. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

⁨Democrats want to prevent millions of Americans from facing higher health care costs or losing their coverage altogether. Donald Trump's response? I don’t care.⁩

He could’ve fought, but he faked bone spurs. So someone else had to go in his place - most likely a working class kid whose daddy couldn’t afford to bribe a doctor. Now he’s talking shit about how it should’ve been fought.

Just a fucking disgrace that any president would say this to active duty military. But I expect it from this asshole, who has never respected the apolitical military tradition we’ve had since Washington. No, what’s more disgraceful is the silence of Republican vets in Congress.

It is no coincidence that Trump, Hegseth, Miller, Noem and other members of the admin continue to make inflammatory partisan political speeches to military and law enforcement. They are conditioning them now to embrace the planned war to come - their war against other Americans.

The Trump/MAGA Project 2025 plan: Destroy the Affordable Care Act Defund Medicaid Eliminate the federal workforce And give tax breaks to billionaires They don’t care if 17 million people lose insurance Or if millions more will see their premiums double And that thousands of Americans will die

Why is Kevin Hassett, Director of the National Economic Council, smiling while saying this? “If the president decides that the negotiations are absolutely going nowhere… there will start to be layoffs.” What negotiations? Republicans aren’t even showing up to the table.

AOC "I think 'Abolish ICE' is a call to action on several levels. One is the literal interpretation of abolishing ICE, which I support...I don't believe that an agency that systematically & repeatedly violates human rights, I don't think that agency can be reformed. I think it has to be abolished."

Hmmm... weird.

Will Chief Justice John Roberts and the Republican appointees end the notion of co-equal branches by raising the executive above all else in backing Trump’s unending desire for more power and fewer limits? That is the question of this term, and Law Dork will be covering all of it.

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Sunday his state will sue after President Donald Trump sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, according to Newsom. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Trump disappears for days and then is all hyped up on some type of drugs for his speech today. What is he taking? Why does his handlers need to give him these drugs? What is Trump's underlying medical condition?!!

Watching "#LilithFair: Building A Mystery - The Untold Story" and I'm having 3 years' worth of flashbacks to Merriweather Post Pavilion back in the day. (My then four-year-old belted out all the words to "Ice Cream" perfectly.) Also, just bought a 💩 ton of merch! Thanks, #SarahMcLachlan!

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

😂😂

This is the obvious absurdity of pulling ICEBlock. It is obviously legal, protected speech for anyone to say, in any forum, “I just witnessed some police activity at location X”. Indeed, people have been doing this regularly on social media since its inception.
