Immergut deposed Monica Lewinsky for Ken Starr, was a US attorney under Bush, and was appointed to the bench by Trump during his first term. This is not some left-wing judge.

He’s trying to provoke a war.

JD Vance wants to use the 25th Amendment to become president. Stephen Miller wants to exploit Trump’s dementia to run the country himself. Call it the new checks and balances.

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said.

Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%.

Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer.

DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

The protests are on one block. Nothing is burning down. His justification for sending in troops is all based on lies.

Remember that the TX NG (like any deployed from OR, CA, or IL) will not get paid during a shutdown.

So, uproot them from family, home, jobs. And not pay them.

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon.

The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.

Gov. Pritzker: "[ICE is] just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm a U.S. citizen. So U.S. citizens are getting detained and arrested."

If Blue States provide 71% of the GDP, and Red States only 29%, WHY should the Blue States be run by Red State values, dictated by the Heritage Foundation (Project 2025)?

Create Blue States of America with a return to democracy, human rights, equality, inclusion and healthcare for all. It's time.

Immergut states for the record that she is basing new TRO on all of the reasons that were in my prior opinion granting first motion and the same reasons and apply...The deployment of the federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, she says.

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. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

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.

“I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil.”

From July 17th: m.facebook.com/share/p/16yL...

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Oregon (Kennedy): I think it would be appropriate for the court to issue separate 2nd TRO and incorporate by reference reasoning of initial TRO. Now we'd need to broaden: apply to deploying federalized members of NG of *any* state into Oregon.

Judge: Based on the conduct of the defendants and now seeing TX National Guard called up, I am going to grant alternative TRO requested. Let me ask plaintiffs—I'd prefer not to modify original TRO, but I am troubled to hear of CA and TX NG being sent to OR, in apparent violation of my order

Judge: And DOJ argues there's no standing, also no reparable harm. Your response?

Oregon: Harm for CA to sovereign rights and police powers, also morale and reputation, also limits ability of NG to respond to CA natural disasters.

Judge: How could bringing in NG from CA not be in direct contravention of TRO I issued yesterday?

DOJ: TRO related only to Oregon NG

Judge: You are an officer of the court. Aren't defendants clearly circumventing my order?

Judge: Since TRO yesterday, my understanding is president has brought National Guard from CA to OR, and just now got memo saying also president has determined that TX NG will be sent to OR, IL, etc.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Karin Immergut hears emergency arguments as California and Oregon seek to block President Trump's deployment of federalized California National Guard troops to Portland. 🧵

DOJ: CA NG is already federalized

Judge: You are an officer of the court. Do you think this is an appropriate way to deal with my order? Appropriate way of dealing with ruling you disagree with?

DOJ: Well, I'm not a policy maker

Judge: You're a lawyer

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

All I ask is that you watch and listen for 2 mins.

This is so embarrassing for Mike Johnson.

Whatever Speaker Johnson says:

He sent the House home for YET ANOTHER WEEK because he cares more about protecting the Epstein files than he does about protecting the American people.

Powerful

LMAO.

CIA began aggressively tracking Osama Bin Laden in 1995 and they setup a whole unit called Alec Station in 1996 that focused on him and Al-Qaeda.

They were aware of him since the late 1980s.
