Sending troops to San Francisco? Do it and we’ll sue.

Q: Are you going to send federal troops and the National Guard to San Francisco?

Trump: "We're going to go to San Francisco...We're going to go to San Francisco and we're going to make it great...Don't forget, I can use the Insurrection Act."

So this is going to give quite a few people some sleepless nights.

The Senate stacked a whole bunch of nominees into one hearing so that each one would only get a few questions. Ingrassia was expected to suck up all the Dem questions.

"All indications are that Trump and his wealthy allies care far less about the nation's future than about their own literal fortunes."

I just got a striking text from the extraordinary @accfb.bsky.social about delivering emergency food to TSA staff at Oakland airport in response to Republicans holding our government hostage to hand more money to their billionaire buddies. Community solidarity in face of MAGA horrors.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

one interesting thing is the collapse of mass support for trump before he took office. his in-person events were sparsely attended. his conventional fundraising (donations in the dollar to thousand dollar range) was more or less nonexistent.

Trump I was a grassroots phenomenon. Trump II was elite.

Schooley @schooley.bsky.social · 3d

Republican rhetoric all week was clearly aiming to either depress turnout or inspire visible maga pushback. Neither happened and the press doesn’t seem particularly interested in exploring the implications of that.

As @brianbeutler.bsky.social notes in his useful reflections on No Kings, it's critical that many older white people protested. Sends clear signal that the mainstream is anti-MAGA:
