"Our video probes how, while previous shutdowns were a byproduct of political gridlock, Trump has seized on the shutdown as an instrument for reengineering the state in Project 2025’s image."

"The Trump administration is using the shutdown to ramp up its commitment to the Project 2025 blueprint for government. Russell Vought, director of the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump White House, is one of Project 2025’s architects and tasked with deciding which agencies starve and which are permanently dismantled."

"Historians sometimes say that when societies are descending into fascism, it can be hard for the people to notice it in real time. Well, historians of the future, I’m here to tell you: We are noticing. Millions of us are noticing. And we are horrified and enraged."

"The official said Miller is Trump’s chief adviser on the issue and is receiving regular updates from the joint terrorism task force – a coalition of federal, state and local law enforcement agencies tasked with investigating terrorism."

"In Stephen Miller, we see that Maga will not simply end with Trump. We must keep our eyes on him, contest everything he does and says. Because – while this may be hard to fathom – if the US ends up with Miller as its dictator, we are in even deeper trouble than we are with Trump, and it could last a lot longer."

"As Trump grows increasingly incoherent and emotionally labile, Miller grows more and more influential. He is the president’s brain, his discipline. Where Trump has no guiding principles, Miller is a resolute ideologue of white, western supremacy and a tactician of final solutions. Trump is easily lampooned, but Miller is the grimmest of reapers."

"This has been a long-term plan because the focus on left-wing terrorism started during the first Trump administration. And now the difference is that they have all the levers of power underneath them with people willing to enact it and carry it out."

“'I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop ‘left-wing’ terrorism. He is staging it,' Miles Taylor, a vocal Trump critic who served as a deputy chief of staff at DHS during the president’s first term, said in a Tuesday morning post on social platform X."

"Donald Trump and Stephen Miller are trying to make 'insurrection' happen. We know this because that word keeps popping casually out of their mouths." But:

"Real insurrection looks like what we saw on January 6, 2021, when Trump refused to call in the National Guard to support local police and then pardoned over 1,500 criminals, many of whom committed violent assaults on law enforcement."

"You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

"The words 'plenary authority' are found nowhere in 10 U.S. Code. Miller’s assertion of those kinds of powers is shocking, but unsurprising. That is exactly what Trump is doing by sending National Guard troops from one state to another state, the governor of which has not activated his own national guard or authorized out-of-state National Guard soldiers to be deployed on the soil of his state."

"It’s a wild assault on state sovereignty, bringing us ever closer to the brink of civil war.

This is despotism, and whatever chaos and violence is about to be unleashed lies squarely on the robed shoulders of Justices Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, and Barrett."

"Trump claims the unreviewable authority to substitute his 'alternate facts' emergency for reality and flood Democratic strongholds with troops from other states. And if courts block him, he threatens to declare an even more fantastical emergency to allow soldiers to occupy blue states as 'police' men."

"Trump himself gave up the game [in the ludicrous Antifa video yesterday]. Anyone involved with Antifa — which does not exist — would 'probably' be committing treason.

This event might have resembled a clown car but it is anything but. In fact, the noose is getting tighter and tighter for us all — precisely because Antifa does not exist."

"Since taking office in January, Trump has declared at least eight national emergencies that the administration has used to justify the use of emergency powers."

"It is this power under Title 10 that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller yesterday claimed was 'plenary,' or absolute. The idea that exceptions to the rule of law reveal who is really in charge of the government was central to the political philosophy of German political theorist Carl Schmitt, who joined the Nazis and whose work is increasingly popular among the radical right in the U.S. these days."

"The section of the legal code to which the announcement pointed was the one permitting the president to call into federal service members of the National Guard whenever the U.S. is invaded or in danger of invasion by a foreign nation, there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government, or the president cannot execute the laws of the United States with the power of regular law enforcement."

"The statement [of the Defense Department announcing deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago] said the National Guard soldiers 'are under federal command and control in a Title 10 status.'”

Robert Reich says that "Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him." And to do this, he is following a four-step plan:

1. Step one: "Deploy ICE into so-called blue cities."

2. Step two: "Exaggerate the scale and severity of the protests."

3. Step three: "Deploy National Guard troops."

4. Step four: "Invoke the Insurrection Act."
