Republican states have ignored federal authority for years without consequence.
Democratic states must be equally willing to act first and litigate later.
We must dare the federal government to try enforcing its unconstitutional will against half the country at once.

The Civility Trap: Why Being Nice Makes Things Worse
On September 10, 2025, Fox News host Brian Kilmeade suggested we should give homeless people "involuntary lethal injection" or, as he clarified, "just kill 'em." This happened on national television.

I wrote about how the 2020 protests hurt Trump politically. I also wrote about how counternarratives about left-wing violence are just spin — and wildly at odds with the reality of extremist violence. Gift link: wapo.st/3SOEv6e

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."⬇️
