You won't want to know. Years later I got to meet them in person as their handler at a film festival I worked at. They weren't a good person. And I had to deal with his kids too. 🤢

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

However, a looming paycheck scheduled in the middle of October for the 1.3 million active duty members of the armed services might convince legislators and the White House that missing the date won’t be worth the political cost.

Missing this pay date may be too much for Trump and Congress to prolong shutdown

While the sides have dug in their heels regarding the budget, missing a pay period for the military may not be seen as worth the fallout.
