I have. I think Mike Johnson and Lindsey Graham are in those files doing terrible things to boys. Its the only thing that explains Lindsey Graham's behavior. Pamela Jo is in there too. She was the Florida AG while Epstein was in business.

Among the more obvious differences, this was about using the Alabama National Guard to enforce federal law *in Alabama*, where the state government was defying court orders.

Note that even in that much more extreme context, Kennedy used the Alabama National Guard, not some other state's.

Trump: U.S. Code. Those provisions authorize the President, when faced with such unlawful obstructions against the authority of the United States as existed in Alabama, to "call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary" (10
U.S.C. Β§ 332) and to use
"the militia or the armed forces,
or both, or
β€’ other means" (10 U.S.C. $ 333). The
militia of the United States includes the national guard, meaning the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard of the several states. 10 U.S.C. Β§ 311 and $ 101 (9), (10), (12) .
In furtherance of the President's order the Secretary of Defense immediately called into active military service all of the units and members of the Army National Guard and Air National Guard of the State of Alabama to serve in the active military service of the United States for an indefinite period and until relieved by appropriate orders.
This call was transmitted by the Secretary of the Army, acting by direction of, and under delegation of authority from, the Secretary of Defense.
Copies of the Department
of the Army message (No. D.A. 340638, June 11, 1963) were furnished immediately to the Governor of Alabama and to the commanding officers of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard of the State of Alabama.
It is apparent that the Alabama National Guard was properly called into federal service pursuant to 10 U.S.C.
Β§5 332-4, and in accordance with the procedure provided in those sections. Since the call to federal service did not invoke the authority of 10 U.S.C. $ 3500, referred to by Mr. Bowen, the procedure prescribed by that section was
not
used.
I trust that the foregoing information will be of
assistance to you.
Sincerely,
Β‘enera.

Trump just posted what looks like an old DOJ memo about President Kennedy’s use of the National Guard in Alabama to desegregate schools in 1963.

It’s a gross comparison, given the fact that Trump is basically George Wallace and he wants to use the Guard to invade cities, not advance civil rights.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has β€œplenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the β€œplenary authority” comment edited out.

The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019β€”which President Trump signed into lawβ€”is clear in its mandate to give automatic back pay to furloughed workers.

I have no doubt they’d love to never pay or just fire most feds but they’re leaking that memo to scare and bully people.
