Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Donald Trump lost New York by 12% -- 1.1 million votes.
Everyone needs to understand that Trump will insist there were irregularities and fraud anytime he or a Republican loses any election. Now is the time to start preparing for this in 2026.

Nancy Mace plays the victim card on CNN: "It's very one-sided right now. I have never called one of my colleagues the kind of names that we've been called. I've never dehumanized my colleagues."

In any other administration (including Trump's first one), someone in the Pentagon would have said: "Mr. President, you cannot order the military to murder a bunch of people on a boat on the high seas."
Designating them "narco-terrorists" isn't a thing that lets you do that.

FBI agents "busted" into John Bolton's house. I am sure in full raid gear.
Contrast with FBI agents showing up in plainclothes at Mar-a-Lago and asking nicely to search the premises...treating Trump differently in an attempt to avoid it looking political. (That was Merrick Garland's DOJ 🙄)
