Okay…I live in a Blue State (Massachusetts). All our Congresspeople are Democrats and will vote No. In fact, all of New England has Democrats for House Reps so it’s not helpful to contact them. I’ve already contacted my Rep. Now what?

How is this response not disqualifying? If you can’t testify truthfully under oath that you did not suggest telling the courts fuck you, then you have no business being a judge.

How extreme is the June 7 Memorandum on federalizing the National Guard?
One of several issues: It has NO geographic limit. None. No mention of California or any other state. It's open-ended.
Now this from President Trump: "Well, we're going to have troops everywhere."⬇️

Journalists are being silenced, critics are being punished, and most of the media’s playing dead.
This is state-sponsored suppression. This is dictatorship in real time.
