In addition to their national defense duties, Americans rely on our National Guard to fight wildfires and respond to other natural disasters.
Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

This represents a major escalation.
President Trump effort to mobilize TEXAS National Guard for deployment in Portland and Chicago.
Court filing just entered in Oregon v. Trumpโฌ๏ธ
"..armed federal agents rappelled from helicopters onto the roof of a..residential apartment in..Chicago. The agents worked their way through the building, kicking down doors and throwing flash bang grenades, rounding up adults and screaming children alike.."

House GOP vacationing with pay during shutdown,& news outlets report Trump playing golf. Meanwhile, hard-working Americans like air traffic controllers,TSA,park Rangers, & military etc. out of luck.
GOP: get back to work, fix the healthcare tax credits and open the government. Not that hard.
Fed Employees deemed โessentialโ by administration will work without pay and
will eventually be paid once shutdown ends. Others
will need legislation passed by Congress
and signed by President to get pay. Congress has always done this, but I canโt predict what this congress or President will do.
Trumpโs ICE goons must be real proud that they ripped children out of their beds, traumatizing them and tying them up. Anyone doing this is a coward and a criminal. And Stephen Miller says the Trump judge who stopped National Guard in
Portland is an insurrectionist. No YOU are Stephen. You are.
Elon Musk and Stephen Miller both tweeted against judges today.
