Tennessee's Constitution Art III Sect 5
But the Militia shall not be called into service except in case of rebellion or invasion, and then only when the General Assembly shall declare, by law, that the public safety requires it.
Every Page One story in Memphis this morning is about troop deployment.

If you wanted to interview Ghislaine Maxwell to ask if Trump was a sexual predator, who would you send to ask the questions?

Todd Blanche, who represented Trump in his sex hush money case, of course.

Trump's mass deportation rationale is a lie:

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention statistics show the number of detainees arrested by ICE with no other criminal charges or convictions rose from about 860 in January to 7,800 this month - a more than 800% increase.

The guy that pardoned 1,500 cop assaulting & property destroying true insurrectionists is now calling in Marines on LA? Incomprehensible.

Dumping starship pieces into the Gulf of Mexico is taxpayer money well spent?

The President of the United States does not know the words "No person shall be ... deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." are in the US Constitution.

Constitutional conservatives, we should discuss this. #callme #5thAm

It's not arguable that with the theater involved in bringing the El Salvador president to the White House where he told the press exactly what Trump wanted him to say, Trump defied a 9-0 Supreme Court and crossed the line into authoritarianism.

They are the largest hate group in America, wrapping themselves in the red-white-and-blue of the flag, marching into the middle of American cities and claiming to be patriots.

Should we prosecute corrupt politicians? Trump's DOJ: "Not if you are otherwise useful to us." Could have pardoned NYC mayor Adams but instead "dismissed without prejudice," meaning Adams remains forever under Trump's thumb. If Adams doesn't comply, charges can be reinstated. Adams is a Trump tool.

DOJ argued today that the Judiciary has no power to stop the Executive from cutting off Congressional allocations.

Telling yourself you'll be Ok either way is not he an option for any of us.

Tell Congress to stand up!
