This powerful JB Pritzker response to Trump's lawless threats is another reminder of what I tried to argue this morning: Pritzker understands Stephen Miller's theory of this moment, and he's responding accordingly:

It's happening right in front of you.
Trump and the GOP are creating their own manufactured crises, lighting the Reichstag fires, blaming "them" for the violence (their critics), citing "left-wing" terrorism, all as a setup for martial law and the Insurrection Act.
It's happening in plain sight.

I'm sure Tapper will get right on it
It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

If I were the Mayor of Portland and I had access to any street cameras, I would make their feed public. I might go so far as to create a mosaic of the various camera feeds showing reality in Portland. And then I would call a news conference to talk about it. With the URL to the feed and or a QR

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?
The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas.
Now a U.S. president is deploying Texas troops to other states to dominate and intimidate those states, and Abbott is complicit.

I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

Miller’s apparent elevation to shadow president and his seeming intent to declare an end to the constitutional order would, in any other administration, be treated as a executive branch meltdown that was immensely embarrassing for the president and requiring Miller’s immediate removal

"The current Court’s jurisprudence amounts to this: We are a nation of laws and have a system of checks and balances — unless the president really, really wants to do something and he’s a Republican."
“Far from acting to keep the executive within the bounds of the Constitution, the Court has gone out of its way to grease the skids for an autocratic takeover, even running interference against lower court Republican judges trying to enforce the Constitution.”

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.
The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.
And they get another vacation
