What are the legal and / or constitutional actions that can be taken against these presidential edicts that do not seem based on facts or laws?
Can a President simply unleash the military against citizens for no reason???

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard?
One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended.
Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

Hey Democratic Party!!! How is this ok if the guy not only made the Nazi salute but is reportedly responsible for 300,000 deaths of children who depended on USAID???

🟡 NEW: Rep. Ro Khanna is working to pull Elon Musk toward Democrats and talked with one of Musk’s “senior confidants” on Thursday about whether he might want to help the Democratic Party in the midterms.

Brilliant. And they call the guy behind these a “genius”? Hmm 🧐
Shocking that the world's ugliest vehicle that's prone to catching fire and getting stuck and is associated with Nazis and the destruction of government isn't more popular.
Cybertrucks are piling up -- apparently no one wants to buy them -- but they can't stop making them, b/c shutting the factory down is too expensive. Great work all around.

seems kind of weird that the vice president of the united states is openly supportive of german neo-nazis!
Not only is he going out of his way to strengthen the European far right, that claim about the Berlin Wall is beyond absurd.
This is a broad strategic alignment away from the liberal democracies toward the global right.

This dangerous, incompetent, careless, narcissistic, reverse DEI, treasonous idiot shouldn’t be anywhere near the halls of power.
Instead he should be investigated and probably prosecuted for national security crimes.
Enough already.

If you so much as look like you might be a migrant, your rights are subject to the whims of ICE and the courts now. Be careful out there. Have people ready on speed dial who can help.

A quick thread of charts showing how Trump’s economic agenda is going so far:
1) US consumers are reacting very very negatively.
These are the worst ratings for any US government’s economic policy since records began.

Correction - this duck is called the green winged teal in the US…
I had a fantastic stroke of luck at the Central Park Pond today encountering my first Eurasian Teal - an absolutely stunning bird who allowed me to engage in a photo shoot - 4 of the more than 100 shots I took below - plus a video I’ll try to post here too
