STOP conceding that Trump can legitimately expand grab by deploying baseless claims of “emergency.”
There was NO EMERGENCY to justify tariffs.
There was NO “INVASION” to justify this migrant crackdown.
And there is NO “EMERGENCY” that justifies military takeover of local law enforcement in D.C.

So if a group of men -- all of them wearing masks, with no uniforms or badges visible, driving unmarked cars -- approach anyone on the streets of DC, they're just supposed to submit?

If you know me at all - here, elsewhere, or irl - you know how important I believe it is to understand history. That it’s being perverted in this way and for this reason is obscene.
Think about this for a second. It’s grotesque and dangerous.

IMHO this is law enforcement and a violation of Posse Comitatus, full stop, no matter whether they carry out arrests or not.
And here you go. I honestly do not understand the moral cowardice that leads some of our fellow citizens to not speak out against what's going on.

FBI agents are not trained to patrol streets. And every agent that is assigned to do that is NOT investigating:
*foreign spies stealing gov’t and trade secrets
*foreign and domestic terrorist threats
*crimes like fraud, corruption, trafficking, and violent crimes (among others)
Do you feel safer?

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

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.

So, no national guard on January 6th, but definitely on August 11th. Makes total sense.

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down?
J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

Trump announces 100% tariffs on computer chips while simultaneously exempting Apple after they promised $100B investment. This isn't economic policy—it's pay-to-play. Just like Trump’s Carrier air conditioning stunt from his first term. "America First" really means "highest bidder first."

After avoiding it during the primary, Andrew Cuomo finally went on the Brian Lehrer Show last week — and lied about his record.
The truth is that universal pre-K was won despite the disgraced ex-Governor, not because of him.

i have been thinking a lot about how the entire concept of “the deal” is antithetical to transparency, fair play and rule of law, as larry notes. the deal is necessarily nonstandard, ad hoc and dependent on the whims of the dealmaker
The idea that President can negotiate/dictate bilateral “deals” by using the full force of the federal government to punish and humiliate his perceived enemies goes against the whole idea of the rule of law. That should be the story, rather than normalizing this authoritarian behavior.
