Imagine if Joe Biden -- against the wishes of the Texas and Arkansas governors -- had sent California National Guard troops for bogus reasons to Houston or Little Rock.

The GOP and Fox News would lose their minds. Yet they stick their heads in the sand and pretend what Trump is doing is normal.

This is going to go over well in ultra-MAGA Idaho. Because if there's one thing I see it's people that voted 67% for Trump welcoming a Middle Eastern military base to their state.

They want to outlaw peaceful protest next.

Indicting political opponents & critics because they are political opponents & critics is terrifying.

It's completely inconsistent with the rule of law & democracy.

It should scare everyone - and (hopefully) will get people to realize that we all need to stand against this.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.
