The coward who caused an insurrection now wants to declare one

 

Donald Trump just said he wants to dust off the Insurrection Act of 1807 to send our troops after citizens practicing their First Amendment rights. The same dime store tyrant who incited a real insurrection in 2021 now wants to wield an arcane statute older than indoor plumbing to crack down on students, teachers, and retirees holding cardboard signs in parks and on street corners. Trump wants to send troops into cities that haven’t asked for help, haven’t declared emergencies, and aren’t in any damn danger except from whatever batsh** idea he’s cooking up in his over-bronzed head. Under the Stafford Act and Department of Defense Civil Support Law 3025.18, local civil authorities have to request support before the president can federalize the Guard. No one has. No one will. Trump is making it up because fear is the only language he speaks. He wants to turn cooks, clerks, and supply sergeants into riot cops. Every commander and first sergeant in the Guard must be shaking their head, knowing that this madness only ends in chaos. Help a battle-tested vet flip this seat and take on this MAGA madness in Congress. This lunatic has spent eight months shredding the rule of law, and now he’s dragging the U.S. military’s reputation through the mud. Two centuries of American leadership built on professionalism, restraint, and civilian oversight, and he’s flushing it all away to play warlord in a bad TV remake of his own failures. By ignoring the Constitution and treating the armed forces like his personal police force, Trump is putting the United States in the same category as North Korea and China. He’s eroding everything generations of soldiers fought to uphold just to feed his ego. Watching this coward disgrace the uniform I wore makes my blood boil.  We need a Congress with the spine to stop him before he drags the country any deeper into this authoritarian swamp.  Chip in today. Help me flip the House and haul this whole criminal circus into hearings where they’ll have to answer for every damn thing they’ve done. DONATE TO FLIP THIS SEAT!
