People don't realize how far gone this is.

A state of emergency was declared, under several provisions of federal law, half a year ago.

I stopped counting how many emergencies had been declared. But back in May 2025 it was in the double digits.

The tariffs, the National Guard mobilizations, and other stuff, have all been done through emergency powers.

Claiming "national security", a whole raft of U.S.A. government branches, from the VA through the FDA, CDC, NIH, BLM, DOE, & FCC, to the EPA, have all been declared exempt from 22 USC 51 Ch. 10 and 5 USC 3 Ch. 71, which deal with unionization, employee rights, right to judicial review, grievance procedures, and prohibitions on unfair labour practices. #DonaldJTrump has already proclaimed several emergencies. https://whitehouse.gov/presidential-actions/2025/03/exclusions-from-federal-labor-management-relations-programs/ #USPolitics #USLaw

Here’s the latest. (updated at 7:30 PM EDT).

"A federal judge on Monday declined to block the deployment of National Guard units to Illinois, a mobilization that the state’s governor, JB Pritzker, labeled an 'unconstitutional invasion' by the federal government, as President Trump threatened to assume emergency powers to bypass court battles and send in the troops.

"The outcome of the court hearing in Illinois, which allows the Trump-ordered deployment to move ahead for now, came as a military official said 200 troops from the #TexasNationalGuard were set to fly to the Chicago area late Monday and begin operating there later in the week. A similar effort to deploy Texas troops in Portland, Ore., has been blocked by a judge for now."

An analysis by AP shows that 30 of #Trump’s 150 #ExecutiveOrders have cited some kind of #EmergencyPower or authority, a rate that far outpaces his recent predecessors.

The result is a redefinition of how presidents can wield #power. Instead of responding to an unforeseen crisis, Trump is using #EmergencyPowers to supplant #Congress’ authority & advance his agenda.

Call it the 911 presidency.

Despite insisting that the #US is rebounding from calamity under his watch, #Trump is harnessing #EmergencyPowers unlike any of his predecessors.

Whether it’s leveling punishing #tariffs, deploying #troops to the #border or sidelining #EnvironmentalRegulations, Trump has relied on rules & laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like #war & #invasion.

In his second term, Trump turns to emergency powers to advance his agenda

Call it the 911 presidency. Despite insisting that the United States has rebounded from calamity under his watch, President Donald Trump is harnessing emergency powers unlike any of his predecessors. Whether it’s leveling punishing tariffs, deploying troops to the border or sidelining environmental regulations, Trump has relied on rules and laws intended only for use in extraordinary circumstances like war and invasion. An analysis by The Associated Press shows that 20% of Trump’s 150 executive orders have included some kind of emergency declaration, a proportion that far exceed those issued by any other recent president during entire four-year terms.
