The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

I just issued an executive order to develop a veteran food pantry network to provide food support for veterans, service members, and their families.
Regardless of what happens at the federal level, Minnesota remains committed to providing for those who protect our freedom.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Gov. Pritzker: “All I can say is that whether it was the loss in the elections a week ago that's led to Donald Trump deciding to pull CBP out or the fact that Greg Bovino is a snowflake…Whatever it is, the people of Chicago have deserved better than having CBP and Greg Bovino in this city.”

The correct answer is no, it violates the posse comitatus act.
WELKER: Do you support the president using the US military to police American cities?
THUNE: Well, it depends on what he's using it for ... he certainly has the right to protect law enforcement officials in some of these cities if they're under threat

Abolish ICE
I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

This is an unconstitutional and authoritarian power grab.
The constitution grants power over federal elections to the states and Congress - not the president.

President Trump said late Saturday that he would issue an executive order to require voter identification for all U.S. elections, a continuation of his efforts to overhaul the nation’s election laws, which he has long attacked and falsely blamed for his 2020 election loss.
Trump Says He Will Sign Executive Order Mandating Voter I.D.
He also wants to restrict mail-in voting and allow only paper ballots. The Constitution doesn’t give the president explicit authority over election law.

It seems to me one of the best arguments to the court is that if this is truly a national emergency, the president’s own party controls Congress but has done nothing to address it with legislation, so how can it possibly be an emergency?
