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.

“The #InsurrectionAct requires a violent rebellion trying to take over the government that does not exist, doesn't exist in Portland, DC, Chicago, L.A., anywhere. But they like the power that these emergency, laws provide to them…And so they lie about the factual circumstances” - CA AG Bonta to me

Why is this front-page news? The Washington Post doesn't say. It's a turning point in US history but our pathetic journalist class hides the relevance behind suggestion and implication, afraid to say things that everyone knows. Useless

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
