1/ If accurate, this is almost certainly a conflict with the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of the military for domestic law enforcement, including the National Guard if they are federalized.

Jake Tapper's book is nothing more than the corporate media trying to shift the blame for 2024 off themselves. Unsure how people can't see this.

This is insane. Republicans have inserted language into the budget reconciliation bill that would ban states from regulating AI in any capacity for 10 years.

This is the message. You may like Pritzker, you may not, but whomever the new leaders of a reformed democratic party are, they will carry this message. This is the way to win. My two cents.
Pritzker: The reckoning is here. And now that this culture of timidity is on display, these same do-nothing Democrats want to blame our losses on the defense of Black people, trans kids, and immigrants, instead of on their own lack of guts and gumption.

Trump gave the Pentagon control of 170 square miles of U.S. land—now a militarized zone called the “New Mexico National Defense Area.”
This move walks the line of Posse Comitatus and edges toward the Insurrection Act—to go after migrants. But it doesn’t have to stop there.
