🚨U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, under Ninth Circuit jurisdiction, ruled on Sept. 2, 2025, that Trump’s Los Angeles troop deployment violated the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act because no rebellion existed and civilian police could handle the protests.

I hope people realize how absolutely fucked this situation is.
This isn’t normal. People are resigning all over the place because the government is mishandling our data, ruining our public health services, and generally making Americans less safe.

I said it would get worse very quickly. By tomorrow we will have completed the most dangerous & frightening 24 hours thus far of Trump 2.0. Just to name a few:
1. Defiance of a court order by sending migrants to Sudan without due process (despite clear DP decision SCOTUS) & Dist. CT. order.

@andrewwilkiemp.bsky.social it’s not wanting “real people with real experiences” - it’s wanting people who are real because they’re not ideologically-driven or ‘bought’ by vested interests!!!
People are increasingly disenfranchised with the major political parties. They don’t want a political class – people who are career politicians. They want real people with real, life experience.

This action is illegal and violates IRS regulations—specifically 26 U.S. Code § 6103, which protects the confidentiality of taxpayer information. To make it happen, Trump removed the top IRS lawyer and replaced them with a loyalist.

Donald Trump has committed the most profound, harmful and unnecessary economic error in the modern era. Almost everything he said—on history, economics and the technicalities of trade—was utterly deluded econ.st/3YbbFjq
