Thank you for explaining all this, Steve! I saw at the round table event earlier today that Trump is floating the idea of labeling Antifa as a FTO. Is he able to do that, and if so, I’m guessing it makes this spectacle a whole lot worse?

I’m sure it’s no coincidence that the people he constantly refers to as low IQ also happen to be Black.

This brought back a memory I didn’t even know I had! 🤣

Great piece by @stevevladeck.bsky.social here (his insight on these matters is always appreciated)!

“Until this year, Congress’s 230-year-old choice had been borne out. Presidents of both parties have been especially careful to use the military domestically…”

The federal government does and should have the authority to deploy troops into our cities—even without local consent—*when the circumstances actually warrant it.*

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com, me on why the real issue in Portland, Chicago, and elsewhere is the missing / contrived factual predicate:

Opinion | No, Trump Can’t Deploy Troops to Wherever He Wants

We’re so back, Mike!

I meant that the original TRO only stated that ORNG could not be federalized (definitely agree they were trying to circumvent her order by sending other states’ NG), so from a contempt standpoint, did they actually defy her order? She had to issue a new TRO blocking all other federalized NGs.

She was not having it with anything the DOJ attorney was saying (and he sounded like a, deservedly, scolded child at the beginning of the call).

“You are an officer of the court.” 😳

This NY Post headline choice was shocking to see!

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 3d

I’m shocked to see this headline choice from the NY Post. Do you agree that he’s defying a court order? It surely seems like a childish way to avoid the ruling, but the ruling pertains only to the OR National Guard, not CA?

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 3d

I believe that’s what he’s saying. They were given non-judicial administrative powers, but couldn’t adjudicate the merits of the decision…which doesn’t make sense?

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 3d

I mean district *courts* were created in 1789, each led by a district *judge,* so when Congress enacted the Calling Forth Act in 1792, surely they didn’t mean to exclude courts when say “by an associate justice or the district judge.” What is he even doing here??

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 3d

Steve, Gov Newsom is stating that 300 CA NG troops are being deployed to OR under Trump’s order. I reread your great piece on Illinois v. Texas, but in that case Texas was willing to send the NG. I’m assuming that the CA NG are federalized, so I don’t think SCOTUS’ original jurisdiction could apply?

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 4d

I think you’ve been incredibly clear.

1. Trump & his administration are fascists
2. That does not mean we live in a fascist county
3. Stop being titty babies and crying on the internet — go vote and engage in your physical communities
4. Zeppelin sucks

Governor Pritzker just announced on Twitter that Trump is federalizing 300 Illinois National Guard troops in Chicago.

I started following you on Twitter in 2020 when you were covering one of the election hearings in Houston. I didn’t think Americans would ever want to go back to that, but alas the 2024 election, and I’ve had a pit in my stomach ever since hearing the speeches earlier today.

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 10d

America has had three mass shootings in less than 24 hours, and this is his priority??

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 10d

I can’t say I learned that from social media, but the idea of an unbalanced carton gives me agita!

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 11d

He knows Trump & his supporters will just move the goalposts, right? If Comey goes to trial and is acquitted by a jury, they’ll claim the fix was in because it was a “radical leftist jury.”

Heidi Moore @heidim.bsky.social · 12d

The three people he named all received pardons from Biden and he knows that.
