I have heard this from multiple businesses. The National Guard presence is killing the DC economy because people don’t want to go out on the streets. It is happening with restaurants and coffee shops as well. Please call your member Congress #savedc #freedc

Here’s the “Presidential Memorandum”:
www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...
There’s no Insurrection Act invocation; Trump is federalizing 2000 CA Nat’l Guard personnel only to “protect federal functions.”
*Without* invoking the Insurrection Act, anything more would violate the Posse Comitatus Act.

Legislative Branch: Wait, what’s happening?

The richest man in the world spent more money than most of us will see in our lifetimes to lose a state Supreme Court race by 10 points.
And the fact his $25 million was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's spent on other elections is exactly why we must overturn Citizens United.
