You still think you have power over federal agents and troops? Sorry to tell you but the answer is no.
This move is to make up for the DOGE cuts to NASA in the same city and counter anything President Biden may have done.
100 percent
In August, 40% of Americans approved of President Donald Trump’s overall job performance.
You know, Rush Limbaugh died one year after Trump gave him the Medal of Freedom.

Mayor Bowser, Are you familiar with Vichy France? History is repeating itself.

Baffled by the call for more police. We saw the impact of this surge in the 90s. It didn’t work! Democrats need to change the frame of the debate. Stop arguing on “the law and order” terrain. Or just admit that they agree with Republicans and stop gaslighting people.

@mikebarnicle.bsky.social on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social has learned nothing from the Charles Stuart murder case and misleading white people about race and crime. Very disappointing.
Why Trump built a staff of incompetent sycophants | Robert Reich
“Before his presidency, Lincoln expressed personal opposition to slavery but, like many white Americans, did not endorse racial equality. He publicly stated that he did not view Black people as his social or political equals and did not advocate for Black Americans' equal participation in society.”
“What Trump did to Bolton should send shivers down everyone’s spine…He’s trying to assert power as a dictator, not President of the United States….” I had a few things to say on MSNBC.
On @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social, I am paraphrasing two key moments for me - @samsteindc.bsky.social (Republicans are acting as if Democrats will never regain political power) and @mikebarnicle.bsky.social (Accident waiting to happen given rural National Guard scared to be in Urban areas). #truth
🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice has escalated its demand for access to Maine’s voter registration records, now requesting that election officials turn over unredacted copies of voter rolls and every voter registration application submitted in the past 18 months.
Given the elimination of age and education requirements, they will be the same.
A WIRED review of a now deleted Twitter account that used the screen name “Dr. Erwin J. Antoni III” shows it posted conspiratorial content about the 2020 election, Covid-19, and Jeffrey Epstein.
President Trump’s federal takeover of D.C.’s local police is unprecedented. “The last person who asserted the authority to use military personnel for routine law enforcement anywhere in the country for any reason was King George,” a legal scholar said.
After Trump sent 800 National Guard troops to D.C., six GOP-led states offered hundreds of their own guardsmen to help address the capital's supposed "crime emergency." Ironically, many cities in these states experience more crime than D.C.

@aprildryan.bsky.social points out what no one is asking about Trump’s federal military crackdown: “How much is this costing the American taxpayer? There is a cost to this in cities where the crime rate has dropped”
Schiff on the Bolton raid: "They're essentially going after any critic, any opposition in an effort to intimidate them. That's what this is about. It's not about Bolton per se. It's about anyone else that like Bolton might stand up to the president."
@tarasetmayer.bsky.social By lowering eligibility age to 18 and removing the college diploma requirement, the FBI and ICE will be the designation of choice of uneducated white extremists. Yet, no ne is talking about it. There is just too much damage being done daily. Please educate the nation.
@rolandsmartin.bsky.social @esglaude.bsky.social @joyannreid.bsky.social Worst case scenario is uneducated white men with federal badges and guns. Some will barely be 18 years old and only have 8 weeks of training.

FYI, Jillian Michaels: The 1860 U.S. Census counted 393,975 individual slave owners in the U.S. which represented about 25% of all white households in the South, though this figure varied by state. Mississippi had one of the highest rates, roughly 49% of white households owning enslaved people.👇
We just recorded a full episode of TOO MANY TABS about this woman, Jillian Michaels. She is a hateful bigot and Joe Rogan for girls. Episode drops this Sunday at noon wherever you listen to podcasts or on my YouTube channel.
Exactly the point I was going to make. @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social has great behind the scenes insight since taking a knee before Trump.

@morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social is focusing on white fear more than anything else when it comes to the occupation of Washington DC. January 6 is barely mentioned.
This federal government does not see you as a partner and never did.
As the proud granddaughter of a police captain and wife of a federal law enforcement officer, I will never allow MAGA to get away with claiming Trump “backs the blue.” Not on my watch.

New in PN: Crime is down. But Trump's authoritarian power grabs are escalating. "The fact that crime is down conflicts with the ever-present right-wing narrative of a nationwide crime epidemic. So Republicans are resorting to sensationalizing random street fights."
One standard for her, another for JD.
That’s a separate plan of attack if you include Congresswomen, Mayor of Los Angeles and the Governor of Maine.
Via @petermanseau.bsky.social: “How the world now sees America: Display at Trinity College Dublin of words discouraged by US federal agencies in 2025.” (Tuned up the pic so you can see the words better)
I checked some of your posts before responding and understood where you are coming from. At least, you are thinking and responding. During these dark times, most Americans appear to be sleepwalking.
I do understand your point.
"Let me be crystal clear: crime in DC is ending and ending today."
The Liberian president, the mayors of Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., and members of Congress are all black leaders.
He has no respect for any Black leaders, foreign or domestic.
So the same guy who insists he couldn’t activate the National Guard in D.C. on January 6, 2021 suddenly has the power to activate it today?
Exactly
Two things can be true: 1) The President has legal authority over the D.C. police and the D.C. National Guard that he doesn't have *anywhere else* in the country; & 2) Even if this doesn't set a legal precedent, it sets an ominous *political* precedent for pretextually overriding local government.
Yeah JD, we remember. We will never forget your boss was best friends with the guy who ran a literal child sex trafficking ring. And then that guy was "silenced" forever. And now we will just not talk about anything else until they... #ReleaseThe_EPSTEIN_Files
Inquiring minds want to know...
One perverse aspect of Trump calling up the D.C. National Guard while crime plummets to a 30-year-low: Trump REFUSED to call up the D.C. Guard on Jan. 6 to counter an insurrection that he himself incited. If Congress won't give D.C. statehood, at least give us control over our National Guard.
Tom Cotton conveniently forgets about January 6th.
Little Rock, the capital city of Tom Cotton's home state of Arkansas, has one of the highest violent crime rates of any city in the United States. D.C. doesn't even crack the top-10.
Trump's own DOJ website still has a press release up from January pointing out that violent crime in D.C. is at its lowest in more than 30 years.
Crime in D.C. is at historic lows. Trump isn't calling in the national guard to fight crime; he's doing it as a power play and a test of his authority. If we have to flood the streets with the military during peacetime, just imagine what he'll do during the elections.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Kelly: "I had another situation here with a kid who was on his little league trip in a baseball tournament. Border Patrol pulls over the vehicle, identifies the brown kid, he winds up in lockup for a week...this isn't what the American people wanted and I don't think it's consistent with our values"
Pritzker: "Gov. Abbott is the joke ... at a time when all of us are concerned about the future of democracy, he's literally helping whittle it away and licking the boots of his leader Donald Trump."
History and Article IV’s Guarantee Clause makes clear that a state’s governor cannot remove members of the legislature. No governor has ever claimed such power. It runs against the full history of Texas and American democracy as a whole. open.substack.com/pub/democrac...
Tonight’s “The Gilded Age” had a “Jumping The Broom” scene and feel. #blacksky
It makes sense once you realize that every accusation is a confession.
The dangerous fact is that MAGA truly believes that they are being democratic.
That is not how democracy works, Jesse.
Pritzker: "It's cheating. Donald Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."
It's still one of my movies to watch when available.
Thanks to all for alerting me to the Red Dress Run. Because, you know, a bunch of people massing, wearing red, in the South, would normally be the kind of thing that causes me *alarm.*
The Confederates always used "state's rights" when it was convenient and the feds to control the states when it wasn't. We are still fighting the confederates...they weren't punished well enough and they never went away.

I miss the Billy Carter days; they were innocent compared to this stuff.
If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that all these guys truly respect and care about women’s sports and female athletes, and totally aren’t just using them as a prop to stir up anger at trans people
Trump's FBI is more focused on getting the Texas Democrats than prosecuting those who raped children with Jeffrey Epstein. More evidence that Trump was personally involved in the crimes.
