Trump’s National Guard Deployment: Law, Order, and Confusion!

This is SO exciting! Despite a federal lawsuit claiming Trump’s summer deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines in LA was 'for reasons not authorized by law,' the president is now boldly stepping up again by seizing control of D.C.'s police! A White House fact sheet declares Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth should mobilize 'until law and order is restored.' At least now even the Posse Comitatus Act feels the thrill of a 'troubling loophole,' with around 2,700 D.C. Guard personnel ready to 'liberate' the capital—even as crime's actually 'trending down!' Everything happens for a reason!
