It’s Our Country – by Liza Donnelly – Seeing Things

It’s Our Country

We are not all beholden to Trump’s desires

By Liza Donnelly, Oct 08, 2025

The lack of respect from Attorney General Pam Bondi towards Senators during a hearing yesterday was astounding. It was horrible, it was hostile. She had scripted notes for each Senator in order to attack them. The Senators did their best to grill her and not let her get away with anything, Adam Schiff was notably powerful. But still, at times they seem too nice. Which is horrible to say—Trump is forcing us to be mean. Trump’s people, like Bondi showed us yesterday, are not hiding it anymore: they work solely for the good of TRUMP, not the good of the American people. And the Congressional MAGA /GOP is enabling him for partisan gain. They are spineless. When will they stand up to Trump?

Nobody welcomes military on the street. National Guard troops from Texas are expected to arrive in Chicago today, and Trump has called for the arrest of Illinois Gov Pritzker and Chicago Mayor Johnson, saying they failed to protect ICE agents, which of course is a falsehood. This after a Trump appointed judge ruled that he could not deploy troops from another state, which Steven Miller calls “legal insurrection” against the administration.

Trump and company have repeatedly portrayed protesters in Portland and Chicago as a threat to the United States on par with foreign gangs, drug cartels and terrorists. Officers in Portland referred to protesters as “low energy” before Trump ordered in the National Guard.

Gov Pritzker believes that the militarization on the street is in preparation for the 2026 midterm elections which he knows he will lose if he doesn’t use the military at the polls in some way. A new Times/Siena Poll finds that 53% of Americans think Trump has gone to far, particularly in not treating immigrants fairly.

Steven Miller is frightening, and he is lying through his teeth.

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.

MAGA’s Little Helpers: Sinclair, Nexstar and the Consolidation of Broadcast TV
PETE TUCKER

“That’s because the local ABC station in the DC area, WJLA, is owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Network. And the right-wing network refused to air the Jimmy Kimmel Show! on any of its 38 ABC affiliates.”
