    Jonathan Karl: The White House Chaos Is Worse This Time

    By Tim Miller, and Jonathan Karl, Nov 18, 2025

    The White House leaks may be more contained in Trump 2.0, but the slavish loyalists who POTUS has surrounded himself with do nothing to keep him within the bounds of the law, ethics, or decorum. So in this round, the chaos is more consequential for the country. Meanwhile, the administration may be prepping to bury the Epstein files. Plus, the bitterness and resentment that drives Trump, the war on truth is winning, and the Bidens’ animosity toward Obama.

    ABC’s Jon Karl joins Tim Miller.

  5. Tim Miller is joined by George Retes, a U.S. Army veteran and American citizen who was wrongfully arrested and brutalized by #ICE while simply trying to get to work. George shares his harrowing story of being surrounded by agents, pepper-sprayed, dragged from his car, locked in a detention center, and even placed on suicide watch—missing his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

  6. Letters from an American – October 8, 2025 – Heather Cox Richardson

    Letters from an American October 8, 2025

    By Heather Cox Richardson, Oct 08, 2025

    Yesterday, journalists observed members of the Texas National Guard at a U.S. Army Reserve Center in Elwood, Illinois, about 55 miles (89 kilometers) southwest of Chicago. This morning, the Defense Department announced the federal activation of about 200 soldiers from the Texas National Guard and about 300 from the Illinois National Guard, saying they would be protecting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal agents “who are performing federal functions, including the enforcement of federal law, and to protect federal property.”

    The statement said the National Guard soldiers “are under federal command and control in a Title 10 status.” 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.

    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. 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.

    As J.V. Last of The Bulwark laid out clearly last night, there is no crisis in Chicago that makes it necessary for the administration to send in National Guard troops. Last points out that any instability in Chicago has been caused by the administration’s surge of federal agents into the city, where they shot and killed Chicago resident Silverio Villegas González; raided and ransacked an apartment building, leaving residents—including U.S. citizens and children—bound outside for hours; shot an unarmed woman, Marimar Martinez; and aimed a weapon at a resident who was simply recording what the agent was doing, In each case, the government initially insisted the federal agents either were under attack or were rounding up “the worst of the worst,” but subsequent information has showed the federal agents were the aggressors in each situation.

    Federal agents have held journalists, who are now suing ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for the use of “extreme force” against them, and pummeled them with tear gas and pepper spray. As Last notes, local police chief Thomas Mills has testified that the “use of chemical agents by federal agents at the ICE facility in Broadview has often been arbitrary and indiscriminate. At times it is used when the crowd is as small as ten people.”

    Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker warned that the administration is deliberately trying to “cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act so that he can send military troops to our city.”

    As Joseph Nunn of the Brennan Center explained earlier this year, the Insurrection Act brings together a number of laws Congress passed between 1792 and 1871. They make up sections 251 through 255 in Title 10 of the United States Code. Together, they suspend the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits the U.S. military from taking part in civilian law enforcement.

    The Insurrection Act permits the president to deploy troops to suppress “any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” in a state that “opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.”

    Courtney Kube, Katherine Doyle, Carol E. Lee, and Garrett Haake of NBC News report today that White House officials, led by White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, have been having increasingly serious discussions about having Trump invoke the act.

  7. Day 3 of the Republican/Trump shutdown.

    Interesting #TheBulwark article on Democrats negotiating power and winning the fight.

    "Democrats ... should be negotiating about power.

    The only compromises Democrats should accept in exchange for bailing out the Republican-controlled Congress are ones that would either (a) rebalance the structure of government, or (b) put limits on executive power.

    If I were Chuck Schumer, my position would be:

    - Statehood for the District of Columbia.
    - A legislative end to “Kavanaugh stops.”
    - Ending qualified immunity for federal law enforcement officers.
    - Mandating that federal law enforcement officers cannot wear masks and must display identifying badges/markings at all times.
    - Closing the “emergency” loopholes that the administration has claimed for everything from tariffs to acts of war.
    - Removing the secretary of state’s discretionary power to revoke visas.
    - Release all of the Epstein files."

  8. #trump #reelection #TheBulwark #politics According to my understanding of an excellent analysis from The Bulwark , of the several options that Trump has to be re elected these are the top two choices and their possible solutions ;

    1.- Trump runs as VP .

    - The possible solution is in the very last paragraph of the 12th amendment.

    2.- Trump becomes Speaker of the House.

    - Democrats take the House.

    The other ones are more far fetched. I hope democrats are looking into this .

  9. ““This mission has felt good, even though it was not successful. And there are things about it that are going to suck. And if people don't want to tune in for a little while, I get that.

    But there are going to be other people that do want to tune in and want to kind of talk it through and want to think about it and want to process. And I think it's important to be a part of that processing. And then important to be a part of what Sarah just talked about, which was how we can make a difference on the margins as far as protecting the being a bulwark against the real threats that are coming.

    So as I laid in the fetal position this morning, that was what was going through my head. So I just wanted to see if you guys have any additional feelings on that or anything related that you'd like to share.”
