This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

If the executive can unilaterally cancel funding directed to Blue states, then what we have is no longer a Union—it's a Hegemonic Confederacy with a ruling class of state and an underclass.
Never before has there been a president who so gleefully declares that he is NOT a leader for all Americans.

The Trump regime is dissolving the Union unilaterally, that's what these actions *are*—repudiation of the American constitutional order vis-a-vis federalism.
Next move from OMB - canceling $8 billion in clean energy funds. You will note, all of the projects are in states led by Democrats

They can’t win fairly with policy or eloquence or fairness or intelligence so they’ll just silence everyone who disagrees with them. It’s fascism but in its most cowardly and pathetic form.

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say.
This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand.
All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

National Guard documents show public ‘fear,’ troops’ ‘shame’ over D.C. presence
Internal documents reviewed by The Post reveal, with rare candor, how domestic missions rooted in politics risk damaging Americans’ trust in the military.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city.
This is not a joke. This is not normal.
Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

National Guardsmen now stationed outside our DC building confirmed that the only thing they can do if they witness a crime is call 911. The have no more authority than my office mate to intervene. Despite the handcuffs, they can't make arrests. They are very expensive mall cops.

Yeah, the keen advantage of Walz and Pritzker is that they see the threat, and understand they're not going to cooperate their way out of it.
They're angry, they're drawing a line they won't budge from. and they aren't trying to hide it.

DC statehood is the squishy moderate position. DC split up into 400 states so that we can reform the Constitution is the correct position. But nobody will realize that until it's too late

Cannot be emphasized enough that anti-housing NIMBYs in places like California and New York are objectively working to support a durable MAGA hold on Congress and the presidency.
It’s much harder to build housing in Blue states than it is in Red states.
So yes people are moving away from Blue states.
One more reason that addressing the housing shortage in NY and elsewhere must be an urgent priority.
