So, Governor, call out the National Guard before Trump does so they can defend your state. Guess what? Doing so might cause a constitutional crisis. Get busy.
Mr. Bill (not that one) (@mrliam.bsky.social)
Actions to consider: 1. Senior military leaders need to stage a massive protest and threaten resignation if Hegseth et al don’t resign and POTUS back off his unconstitutional policies. 2. Blue state governors need to call out the National Guard to protect against military incursions
