It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

Iโ€™m horrified by Trumpโ€™s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. Weโ€™re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If youโ€™re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

The mask just slipped. Trumpโ€™s team got caught plotting to send the 82nd Airborne into Portlandโ€ฆ.an American city. Not rumor. Not โ€œfake news.โ€ Fact. This is what authoritarians doโ€ฆwhen fear replaces law. (Guardian)

The Federal Election Commission is down to 2 members. So its work is at a standstill The Federal Election Commission, which regulates campaign finance, has lost another member. But the FEC has actually been without a quorum for months, leaving the agency unable to do much of its work.

Federal Election Commission has no quorum and can't act. Another impairment of oversight

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Letโ€™s start running on that.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

However, they are weaker than they lookโ€ฆ

๐Ÿšจ The latest intercept came just hours before a separate NATO operation over the Baltic Sea, where Hungarian Gripens intercepted three MiG-31s, a Su-35 and a Su-30. The near-simultaneous encounters underscore the tempo of Russian long-range aviation activity across multiple regions.
