Pentagon plan would create military ‘reaction force’ for civil unrest Documents reviewed by The Post detail a new National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock.

The administration is considering a “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force” composed of hundreds of National Guard troops tasked with rapidly deploying into American cities facing protests or other unrest www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Here’s the truth:

Violent crime in DC hit a 30-year low in 2024—and is down 26% this year compared to the same period last year.

Deploying the National Guard is a distraction from this Administration’s failed policies.

NPR: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reposts video of pastors saying women shouldn't vote

You know how people called women hysterical for predicting the right wing would take down Roe v. Wade (which they've done) and then attack access to birth control (which they're doing)?

Hear me when I say that women's very right to vote is next.

The guy who had DC cops beaten for a lie is calling out the National Guard for all that DC crime.

And if you're reading this, you're still not distracted from the Epstein files.

Texas forbids law that keeps guns away from unhinged people Despite recent massacres in the state, GOP leaders ban a proven tool to help stop them.

Starting in September, Gov. Greg Abbott and GOP lawmakers will make it even harder in Texas to prevent school shootings, suicides, and murders by domestic abusers www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

There is just no precedent in recent world history of an advanced industrialized country sabotaging its own scientific establishment, and destroying the base of scientific knowledge necessary for basic policymaking. An avowedly, actively anti-knowledge regime.

Trump’s Call to Scrap ‘Horrible’ Chip Program Spreads Panic

The CHIPS Act set off a manufacturing boom, creating jobs and ensuring the technologies of the future are made here at home.

By rolling back this law, Trump is weakening American leadership and letting our adversaries get ahead.

The FBI As We Knew It is Gone It took a hundred years to create the Bureau as we knew it. And it took one dinner at the White House to destroy it.

I know we have seen a lot of agencies being hobbled and dismantled over the last six months. But the coup happening at the FBI should worry you the most asharangappa.substack.com/p/the-fbi-as...

The New York Times uses the word “maximalist” because it’s afraid to use the word “dictatorship.”

The Constitution dictates that the census is a count "all persons" conducted every "ten years." Donald Trump has no power to alter either the timing or who is counted.

Horrific. mRNA vaccines have saved millions of lives and could save millions more.

The Democracy-Building Toolbox — And Why We Need It Here Now Tools we used to export. Now we need to use them to save ourselves.

In the early 2000s, I worked in countries where democracy was fragile, new, or still just an idea.

We didn’t talk about “election years” or “get out the vote.”

We talked about survival

Strategy.
Coalition
Courage

We didn’t always win. But we learned what worked
