What is "plenary authority" and why is it a big deal that Miller said that Trump has it over the national guard?

4 frame comic where Miller slowly blinks. Text reads. A few hours ago, speaking on cnn about Trump's plan to send the national guard into us cities, Miller said : under title 10 of the us code, the president has plenary authority, has... He then fully stopped talking and just blinked at the camera, as if he realized that he said the quiet part out loud. "Plenary authority" means "complete power over a particular area with no limitayions". It is equivalent to ruling by decree, which us how Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler governed. Having "plenary authority" over the military would mean that Trump can just use the national guard as he pleases, no matter what the courts say. It's a power grab.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule

He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

“Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance & eliminate labor laws & farm programs, you would not hear of that party again. There is a tiny splinter group that believes you can do these things…Their number is negligible & they are stupid.”
~ Eisenhower 1954

A black and white photo of President Eisenhower, standing behind a lectern and microphone and in front of an American flag and dark curtains, wearing a light-colored suit jacket, tie, and his glasses:
“Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things…Their number is negligible and they are stupid.”

I blocked Jesse Singal months ago. Today I mistakenly clicked a link to his profile, only to find out he was no longer on my block list.

Even if you've already blocked him, go back and check because it very much seems like the bsky team are fucking with who we have blocked.

Well that’s a CFAA violation if I ever saw one.

Let’s be clear, if you share your employee login with a service like this not only could your employer file a criminal complaint against the service, they could fire you and have you prosecuted as well.
