These are the proactive steps states need to be taking right now. Another thing: every Democratic governor needs to have a sit-down now with the state adjutant general to carefully review that person's understanding of their responsibilities to their state, its citizens and the federal constitution.
Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Politico has a piece claiming that the Musk Trump spat is about immigration. I think the analysis is wrong (it's far less rational than that), but I think it's a USEFUL wrong piece right now.

Don’t Be Fooled: The Musk-Trump Blowup Is Really About Immigration
The tech right and MAGA populists were always going to have a blowup thanks to their disagreement on whether immigration or the federal debt was central to Trump’s political movement.

Booker: Strom Thurmond’s record always kind of just really irked me. That the longest speech on our great Senate floor was from someone who was trying to stop people like me from being in the Senate. So to surpass that became more important to me.

Walz: "For him to mock them and to say this about Canada, that they're nasty people. The thing I think that has to start to set in and I would argue that happened in Wisconsin is that there's buyer's remorse. Nobody signed up to insult the Canadians and drive up potash prices."
