Elisabeth Goitein @brennancenter.org
explaining the Insurrection Act's powers as Trump threatens to use it - with transcript
Elizabeth Goitein: Well, the president has the authority to federalize National Guard forces and remove them from state command-and-control when authorized by statute. And so, if he invoked the Insurrection Act, he would take command-and-control of the National Guard. Now, the states could file challenges in court and could argue, and I think they would have a strong case, that the president was exceeding his authority under the Insurrection Act and that the actions of the military were in fact violating the Posse Comitatus Act. In that case, a court could enjoin the president's use of troops. But in the initial invocation of the act, the president does have the authority to assert command-and-control over federalized National Guard forces.

well, well, well, where else have we seen such numbers:

Up by [1,300 %] one thousand three hundred percent
X Post Post See new posts Conversation Square profile picture Homeland Security @DHSgov At 6:50 PM CT, federal law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted traffic stop in Minneapolis of an illegal alien from Venezuela who was released into the country by Joe Biden in 2022. In an attempt to evade arrest, the subject fled the scene in his vehicle and crashed into a parked car. The subject then fled on foot. The law enforcement officer caught up to the subject on foot and attempted to apprehend him when the subject began to resist and violently assault the officer. While the subject and law enforcement were in a struggle on the ground, two subjects came out of a nearby apartment and also attacked the law enforcement officer with a snow shovel and broom handle. As the officer was being ambushed and attacked by the two individuals, the original subject got loose and began striking the officer with a shovel or broom stick. Fearing for his life and safety as he was being ambushed by three individuals, the officer fired a defensive shot to defend his life. The initial subject was hit in the leg. All three subjects ran back into the apartment and barricaded themselves inside. The attacked officer and subject are both in the hospital. Both attackers are in custody. This attack on another brave member of law enforcement took place while Minnesota’s top leaders, Governor Walz and Mayor Frey, are actively encouraging an organized resistance to ICE and federal law enforcement officers. Their hateful rhetoric and resistance against men and women who are simply trying to do their jobs must end. Federal law enforcement officers are facing a 1,300% increase in assaults against them as they put their lives on the line to arrest criminals and lawbreakers.

President Donald Trump walked past an American flag that appeared to be touching the ground as he returned to the White House on Sunday night Title 4 of the U.S. Flag Code, Chapter 1, states, "The flag should never touch anything beneath it, such as the ground, the floor, water or merchandise" The White House has denied that the flag was touching the ground

IT's NOT responsible to write good articles on substack but garnish 'em with an image that shows a demography that's NOT realistic. I'm sure it is AI generated. In a racist society, albeit very messed with in 2025, 2026, no one should lose sight of ANY aspect of that society's hard earned victories.
Image shows a demography that's NOT existent in current protests against ICE in the US.

Soon later (March 2025) Trump & admin installed a test run, called it EO “Making the District of Columbia Safe And Beautiful” wherein he inserted a “Task Force” (today’s ICE goons) AND erased American history eg Black Lives Matter Plaza from June 2020.

CNN's verräterische Story, in welcher Renee Good Vorstandsmitglied im "Anti ICE Training" Verein der Schule ihres Sohnes war, lässt über Experten verlauten, wie es sich mit der US Tradition des zivilen Ungehorsams verhält.

But four legal experts who reviewed the documents for CNN said they largely describe nonviolent civil disobedience tactics practiced at American protests for generations – far from the sinister depiction of extremism and domestic terrorism portrayed by Trump administration officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President JD Vance. “There’s nothing in there that suggests attacking ICE agents or engaging in any other form of physical harm or property damage,” said Timothy Zick, a professor at William and Mary Law School who wrote a book on protest law. “This is authoritarianism 101 where you blame the dissenters and the activists for causing their own death.” But four legal experts who reviewed the documents for CNN said they largely describe nonviolent civil disobedience tactics practiced at American protests for generations – far from the sinister depiction of extremism and domestic terrorism portrayed by Trump administration officials like Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Vice President JD Vance. “There’s nothing in there that suggests attacking ICE agents or engaging in any other form of physical harm or property damage,” said Timothy Zick, a professor at William and Mary Law School who wrote a book on protest law. “This is authoritarianism 101 where you blame the dissenters and the activists for causing their own death.”

Not milk. (OP) But the portrait is exhibited at the Smithsonian.

Here’s how that’s [now] been “curated”.
I find the contrast of megalomaniac normalization of dictator 45/47 by force versus “minimalist approach in captions” just oh so…hmmm, geschichtsklitterig

The decision by the Justice Department to subpoena the Fed over the construction project comes at a critical juncture for the U.S. economy. Trump has called for the federal funds rate to be lowered faster and to a nearly rock bottom 1%.

Fed Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell: I work for the public.
Powell was responding to grand jury subpoenas delivered to the Fed on Friday related to his congressional testimony over the summer regarding construction work at the Reserve. “The threat of criminal charges is a consequence of the Federal Reserve setting interest rates based on our best assessment of what will serve the public, rather than following the preferences of the president,” Powell said. “This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions,” he added, “or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation.”

you might like this: there's an example under "Don't give liars the headlines they want"

bsky.app/profile/cour...
A screenshot of the linked substack article showing this text: Don’t give liars the headlines they want. I’m all for headlines that are clear and direct. But the media should not lead with disinformation. A recent NBC News headline read, “FDA claims Covid shots killed 10 children and vows new vaccine rules.” The summary underneath read, “Vaccine experts said the memo was irresponsible and that it omits key details about how officials arrived at the conclusion.” Swap the main points of the headline and the summary and you’d be doing it right.

terrifying. I’ve read about the endothelial part she’s explaing, and you can note each term, look it up and understand step by step what she explains.

Was it this hard to campaign re HIV? No. Or explain that a positive woman can give birth to a -in the end- negative child? No.

Why not w Covid?
