FYI, per DOJ, "approximately 100" Oregon National Guard troops remained federalized — but not deployed — as of today.
(While deployment remains blocked, the part of Judge Immergut's order ending the federalization of the Oregon National Guard remains stayed.)

Hegseth is very transparently blaming a Navy admiral for his own decision. Let this be a lesson for every other military officer: The Trump administration will issue unlawful orders, then blame you for following them.

Me on DOJ’s behavior: “it’s malevolence *exacerbated* by incompetence. That’s problematic enough for the government’s credibility before federal district judges. But at some point soon, one suspects that the Supreme Court itself may well have to grapple with its consequences—or risk being duped.”
