The judge crushed trumps bullshit

JUDGE: So not a modification, it's a new TRO that prohibits the deployment of ANY national guard to OR. Is that sufficient? KENNEDY: Yes RILEY: Yes, your honor. We agree it's the appropriate scope for a 2nd TRO. TURKO: The City agrees. 19/

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States. America is on the brink of martial law. Do not be silent.

Governor JB Pritzker@govpritzker.illinois.gov

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

This man is my hero because he’s a member of the United States Air Force and is standing by his #Oath to the #Constitution! I’m hoping that since he has taken the lead others will follow because this is what a true American Soldier looks like! Remember your Oath to the Constitution

I just emerged from the deep state woke Marxist meeting to control the weather for tomorrow’s small dictator parade. I can report things are on track and we are ready for space laser deployment. More soon.
