NYT published an opinion today by Christopher Caldwell of the Claremont Institute. The Heritage Foundation cited Caldwell in a March article titled: "Trump Is Bringing About a Regime Change Not Seen Since 1933."

Is this the New York Times or Völkischer Beobachter?

Stephen Miller-founded legal group filed a federal complaint against the Los Angeles Dodgers in July over their commitments to DEI. Filed just days after the Dodgers expelled ICE agents from their parking lot.

The Dodgers maintain their stated commitment to DEI.

Pretty clear Stephen Miller, Noem, Hegseth and Trump are trying to provoke a Civil War at this point. What's interesting is they want to do it now, because even though they're unpopular, they seem to believe this is the most popular they'll be ever again. We can't let them win.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order
