SCOTUS majority: "[T]he Government has failed to identify a source of authority that would allow the military to execute the laws in Illinois."
Trump cannot deploy National Guard to Illinois to supposedly "protect federal personnel and property."

![We conclude that the term “regular forces” in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States military. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be “unable” with the regular military “to execute the laws of the United States.” Because the statute requires an assessment of the military’s ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from “execut[ing] the laws” “except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress.” 18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be “unable” with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:24vva42nxim6zbcmnozegoef/bafkreidn7p3v3udvitronl37isq6t6jr3t3ufyqhgji5s7fcrdv52p4ivm@jpeg)

Today is a big win for Illinois and American democracy.
I am glad the Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump did not have the authority to deploy the federalized guard in Illinois.

Maria Farmer reported Epstein to the FBI for child pornography in 1996. Fucking 1996. Fucking FBI did NOTHING until their 2007 investigation where Epstein got a stay at home sweetheart deal thanks to Alex Acosta and other creeps.
From the Epstein files…
Epstein threatening to burn someone’s house down if they revealed he stole photos of young girls and sold them and had other photos taken.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.

The Trump administration really is a ransacking of the nation, and an attack on everything that America did well.
Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.
