The presidential memorandum never mentions Los Angeles or California. It’s a blank check for mobilizing National Guard and active duty troops to deploy anywhere to protect federal personnel or functions wherever protests “are occurring or are likely to occur.”

NEW: California sues the US govt, claiming that its commandeering of the California National Guard—"without consent or even official notice to the governor"—is beyond the scope of its powers and a violation of the 10th Amendment and the APA. oag.ca.gov/system/files...
INTRODUCTION 1. The Governor of the State of California and the State of California bring this action to protect the State against the illegal actions of the President, Secretary of Defense, and Department of Defense to deploy members of the California National Guard, without lawful authority, and in violation of the Constitution. 2. One of the cornerstones of our Nation and our democracy is that our people are governed by civil, not military, rule. The Founders enshrined these principles in our Constitution- that a government should be accountable to its people, guided by the rule of law, and one of civil authority, not military rule. 3. President Trump has repeatedly invoked emergency powers to exceed the bounds of lawful executive authority. On Saturday, June 7, he used a protest that local authorities had under control to make another unprecedented power grab, this time at the cost of the sovereignty of the State of California and in disregard of the authority and role of the Governor as commander-in-chief of the State's National Guard.

It shouldn't be difficult to commit to preserving the evidence from the Special Counsel’s January 6th investigation.

And yet...

Trump today: "WE HAVE A DEAL FOR THE HOSTAGES IN THE MIDDLE EAST. THEY WILL BE RELEASED SHORTLY. THANK YOU!"

Weird that he's thanking anyone, and not sure who the "we" is here. But Joe Biden is the current President of the United States today, Jan 15, 2025.

Screenshot this.

Alexander Smirnov, the former FBI informant who falsely accused President Biden and his son Hunter of taking a $10 million bribe from Ukraine, was sentenced to six years in prison today. After Smirnov was changed with lying about the bribe, he admitted the information came from Russian officials.
