CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @andertoon.bsky.social )

🧵Donald Trump just federalized the National Guard in California—the first time a president has done so against a governor’s will since 1965. But what’s even more alarming is how he's promising much worse.

"The bar is what I think it is," he said when asked about his threat standard for deploying active-duty troops.

America is in deep Schmitt. Trump is trying to enact the Nazi legal scholar Carl Schmitt's philosophy of dictatorship.

I have to laugh. They had a grand jury in Tennessee hear the Abrego Garcia case. Why not Maryland where he’s from? Why not some other blue county? This is a freaking set up and the DOJ has Weaponized the DOJ and the rest of the federal government has truly been Weaponized now. It was a lie before, but The truth is smacking us in the face under 47. #8647 Now. https://duckduckgo.com/?q=WWDC&t=iphone&ia=web

So if I have this straight: ICE agents wearing masks is fine, but protesters wearing masks should be arrested — even if it’s legal — because Trump issued an online edict?

Seems ... flawed. https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/pointing-protesters-not-ice-agents-trump-demands-arrests-masks-rcna211787

🎯 @timmiller.bsky.social: "The ICE raids are not happening at Donald Trump's golf courses or in deep red parts of the country. These raids are happening in blue cities... That shows just how much they want this fight."

GOV. NEWSOM: “Trump is reckless, immoral, a stone cold liar… he’s taking unconstitutional actions and putting lives at risk. These are acts of authoritarians.”

Arrest Donald Trump.

What is happening in Los Angeles is not law enforcement, it’s occupation

Tom Homan says he was taken out of context by a reporter when he threatened to arrest Gavin Newsom.

"The NBC reporter that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context."

Jonathan Lemire: "NBC stands by its reporting"

Most of the Ukrainian POWs returned today had been held since 2022, including defenders of Mariupol — GUR representative Andrii Yusov said.
