Striking that the WaPo, which I believe broke this story, has it #5 on digital homepage (after other admittedly major stories). But it is #1 most read, and its symbolic/emotional weight clearly dwarfs other issues
The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Look, "if Obama did this" is a boring counterfactual, but the shit that scanned as "defiling the office" under Obama would blow your mind.

Q: What do you have to say to farmers who feel that the deal is benefitting Argentina more than it is them?

TRUMP: Look, Argentina is fighting for its life, young lady. You don't know anything about it. You understand what that means? They are dying

The "factual background" begins with something irrelevant and erroneous. Dallas is not in Oregon, and the Dallas shooting wasn't connected to any ICE protest.

If that's enough for the President to federalize a different state's National Guard and deploy them elsewhere, then the power is limitless.

🚨2-1 panel of the 9th Circuit (2 Trump vs 1 Clinton appointee) permits Trump to deploy the National Guard in Portland.

The majority opinion finds that Trump properly considered the situation from June through September, and declares the ICE protests disruptive enough to call out the Guard.
Meanwhile, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has granted the Trump administration's motion for a stay in Oregon v. Trump, regarding National Guard deployment in Portland.

In the grand scheme of things, this might be the smallest infraction, but hopefully, these images wake at least some people up.
There might not be a better illustration of Trump 2.0 than this WaPo photo

He's demolishing the White House to remake it in his image, just as he's doing to America

Republicans drew 3 times as many congressional districts as Dems did.

Republicans in Congress & on SCOTUS unanimously blocked Dems from ending gerrymandering nationwide multiple times in recent years.

Republicans could end gerrymandering today if they chose to, but they want even more extreme maps

CNN: Do you really believe that the 7 million attendees who participated this weekend hate the United States of America?

REP. LISA McCLAIN: Well, look at what they're standing for. They're standing for communism. They're standing for antisemitism.

"The evil Jew is funding the entire US left" is a piece of rank, obvious antisemitism that we have just collectively decided to accept in public, because IOKYR.
Ernst: "I think it is extremely important that we look at who is funding these protests. We have to get to the bottom of this. It could be the usual suspect -- George Soros."

"No, we don't want a monarchy, we want a theocracy" is a not the flex they think it is.
Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

An “accident chain” is a collection of small mistakes or oversights that, together, can lead to an accident, injury or death. As the former CEO of one of North America’s safest freight trucking companies, I’ve learned to see these potential chain-links everywhere.

He murdered a Colombian citizen in violation of domestic and international law. He’s now promising to illegally impose tariffs on Colombia because its president had the temerity to publicly criticize him for murdering one of that country’s citizens.

Yes, we are the baddies.
Trump says he's imposing new tariffs on Colombia but won't say what the rate will be

Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
