For years, President Trump has dreamed of mobilizing the military against protesters in the United States.
1. Trump has publicly and privately fantasized about deploying the military on US soil against protesters for years.
In LA, with little justification, he has made those dreams a reality, violating longstanding democratic norms.
He has manufactured a crisis.
Let's review the history.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way weβre cutting it ourselves β strategically undermining Americaβs long-term health, wealth, and security β we would likely consider it an act of war.

Elon Musk has cut somewhere between 0% and 3% of what he promisedβand most of what was cut was not waste or fraud or abuse, but simply expenditures Mr. Musk did not personally favor for partisan reasons.
DOGE is the biggest program failure in the history of American government.

US freezes almost all foreign aid effective immediately | CNN Politics
The US State Department has frozen nearly all foreign assistance worldwide effective immediately days after President Donald Trump issued a sweeping executive order Monday to put a hold on such assist...
Look, Trump is trying to oversaturate us with nonstop chaos so we canβt react meaningfully to any one thing.
