Good morning Blue Sky

Halloween is going to be weird now that there are scary masked people on the streets all year long.

There is a legal distinction, but Miller never studied or practiced law. The supremacy clause also doesn’t make the federal government all powerful- we have a federalist system, which Republicans used to believe in. Now they believe in wielding power, gangsterism, and thuggery.

The is an illegal invasion of Illinois by Texas backed by an utterly lawless Trump admin.

The most dangerous thing Trump is doing now is giving highly partisan political speeches to active duty military - repeatedly trashing Democrats. I can’t recall either him, Leavitt, or Reps ever being asked about the fact that it violates a foundational principle of our Republic.

16 different Russian oil refineries have been damaged by Ukrainian drone strikes in the last two months. Russia can't hide their fuel shortage.

Remember that the TX NG (like any deployed from OR, CA, or IL) will not get paid during a shutdown. So, uproot them from family, home, jobs. And not pay them.

If a governor wants to activate their state's national guard using their state's payroll to conduct law enforcement in their own state -- that's one thing. If those troops are however federalized, paid from US Treasury or sent to another state without that gov's permission, it violates federal law.

The new term of Court starts today. Here’s what I am paying attention to. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

TRUMP SUDDENLY SPECULATES ABOUT LIFE WITHOUT HIM: "It'll be very unfair in the future when they (GOP) don't have Trump to fight for them" AFTER he was MIA for 5 days. BEFORE he spoke gibberish to the Navy. Which illness does he have? GET THE ALL-NEW MONDAY COUNTDOWN PODCAST: tinyurl.com/49b4tju2

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

In response to the massive Russian attack yesterday, Ukrainian forces struck Russian power plants in Klintsy, Bryansk region, and Belgorod last night. The strikes resulted in power outages.

In emergency hearing Sunday night, Immergut accuses administration of violating her order. She reinforces and expands. It’s gonna get ugly.

⚡️ 40,000 Russians without power in Belgorod after Ukrainian attack causes 'significant' damage to energy facilities. "We have significant damage. The scope of work will be significant," Belgorod Oblast Governor Vyacheslav Gladkov said.

If I were starting a civil war, I would send National Guard troops from one state to another.

Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷‍♀️

ICE agents shot a U.S. citizen Saturday on Chicago’s South Side They are creating chaos www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

The dipshit in charge is too busy giving out his “coins” and acting like he’s a celebrity to care.

Thank you, Ms. Bower

[This is a reference to Oregon's request for broad TRO barring deployment of *any* federalized nationalized guard...not just California national guard, which the second TRO was filed in response to) bsky.app/profile/anna...

Immergut: The question is the scope. I see the defendants' conduct as being in direct contravention of the court's order issued yesterday....I am troubled by the defendant's conduct, but have some concern about the breadth of the alternative relief requested during tonight's hearing

Immergut: I'm handling this on expedited basis, but defendants haven't provided new info. SHE RULES FROM THE BENCH: I grant the plaintiffs motion for a second TRO based on reasons stated in previous order...

Kennedy adds that state and local law enforcement in the state of Oregon and in the City of Portland will need to expend additional resources in response to any increased protest activity. Immergut asks if they have anything further. Plaintiffs say no.

Kennedy is back to address harm for Oregon. He says that Oregon has sovereign interest in what the needs of the state are. People of Oregon have that interest, including whether their own forces can handle law enforcement issues...

Riley: True that soldiers would still be federalized even if still in CA the state. But at least they'd be geographically located in the state...if they're out of state, logistical issue getting them back and under state control if there's an emergency.

Immergut: What's the irreparable harm for CA? Riley: First is injury to our sovereign rights and police powers. California soldiers are being unwilling participants in a unlawful federal mission....

Riley: We don't think this would create jurisdictional conflict....Court has jurisdiction to enter new injunction

Immergut has questions about California component. Mentions that original TRO re: Oregon national guard appealed to 9th Circuit. What's the consequence if I grant this TRO, she asks. Kennedy says he'll want Jane Riley to address for California.

Kennedy: We filed TRO based on California deployment here, then after that we received notice of the Hegseth memo re: Texas deployment. So now in position to need to broaden the relief to include deployment of national guard of an state and District of Columbia....

I Bet You Didn’t Know This? 👇🏼👇🏽👇🏾

Immergut asks Kennedy to respond on behalf of Oregon. He highlights information about the pending transfer of Texas national guard members to Portland and Chicago. Received info minutes before this hearing. Hegseth memo raising additional concerns, like "playing rhetorical whack-a-mole."

This is scary. He is basically saying any Guard can be ordered to any state for any reason. Don’t let him set that precedent!

Hamilton also argues that California can't show standing and irreparable harm. He adds that if the court issues TRO they will seek stay pending appeal.

Judge: "appropriate?" Him: "not a policymaker" Judge: "You're a lawyer" Me: "Not for long"

Immergut: You're an officer of the court. Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order? Hamilton: I'm not a policy maker Immergut: You're a lawyer In response, Hamilton basically argues no geographic limit to federalization of CA guard...

She is something else, don’t mess with her. 😅🤣😂

Military Generals and other military leaders are taking direction from an idiotic drunkard rapist propagandist and the 5x draft dodging coward who hired him. Not only a travesty but embarrassing and incredibly dangerous.

Judge Immergut first give DOJ opportunity to respond to second motion for TRO. He says his understanding is that members of the federalized California National Guard are being deployed to Oregon.

Immergut: There has to be a colorable claim that OREGON conditions require it. But you don't. So what's the legal basis? Hamilton: New guardsmen were not federalized...200 CA guard were relocated to Oregon.
