Dr. Fortyseven 🥃 █▓▒░@Nonilex #PortlandME did that even before Trump was elected... Move services to outside of the city so it's not an "eyesore" to the gentrified newcomers!
@justbob You know as well as I, there are reasons why folks would rather camp out than stay in a shelter. But yeah, moving the shelter to that area was a total #BellRiots move on the part of the city. #Unhoused become unseen and therefore no longer exist! That's BS!
The president’s power to deploy troops domestically: an explainer
By Kelsey Dallas
Updated on Oct. 28 at 9:16 p.m.
Since June, President Donald Trump has ordered several #NationalGuard deployments within the United States, often against the wishes of the Democratic governors of the states where troops are being sent. The resulting legal battles have put a spotlight on the president’s authority to federalize troops and use them domestically. How far, exactly, does this power extend?
"Overview:
This document explores President Trump's authority to deploy National Guard troops domestically, highlighting legal frameworks, recent deployments, and ongoing court challenges.
Presidential Authority and Legal Framework
- The Constitution grants Congress the power to call forth the militia, while the president commands troops under Article II.
- The Militia Act of 1792 allows the president to call troops for domestic insurrections or to enforce U.S. laws.
- Trump has invoked 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which permits federalizing National Guard troops to address foreign invasions, rebellions, or law enforcement needs.
- Legal challenges focus on whether conditions in cities like Los Angeles, Portland, and Chicago meet the criteria for federal troop deployment.
Recent Deployments and Legal Challenges
- Trump has deployed National Guard troops to cities with Democratic governors, citing rising crime rates and the need for federal law enforcement support.
- Legal disputes have arisen, particularly in Chicago, where a judge ruled the deployment unnecessary, and similar rulings occurred in Los Angeles and Portland.
- The 9th Circuit Court has paused lower court orders blocking deployments, emphasizing deference to presidential authority in determining troop necessity.
Key Legal Cases and Acts
- Martin v. Mott (1827) established that a president's decision to call up militia cannot be questioned, though interpretations vary today regarding judicial review.
- The Posse Comitatus Act (1878) limits military involvement in domestic law enforcement, which has been a point of contention in recent deployments.
- The Insurrection Act allows broader presidential authority to deploy troops without the limitations of the Posse Comitatus Act, enabling action when law enforcement is impracticable.
Future Implications
- Trump has suggested he may invoke the Insurrection Act if other legal avenues fail.
- The Supreme Court's upcoming ruling on the Chicago deployment could clarify the extent of presidential power under Section 12406 and its implications for future troop deployments."

Pentagon readying thousands of Guard ‘reaction forces’ as U.S. mission widens
Alex Horton and David Ovalle , The Washington Post
Thu, October 30, 2025 at 3:43 PM EDT
Excerpt: "The mandate, along with the growing presence of federal and immigration enforcement officers, suggests further military deployments within the United States could grow in size and scope. The deployments, which President Donald Trump has described as a bid to quell violence and crime, have infuriated Democratic governors in multiple states, who have fought the president’s deployments through litigation.
"The Defense Department did not respond to a request for comment. A defense official, speaking on the condition of anonymity to describe military planning, said the Pentagon is 'revising plans for the employment of [National Guard Reaction Forces] to guarantee their ability to assist federal, state and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances.' The Guardian earlier reported details of the documents."

After cuts to #FoodStamps, #Trump administration ends government’s annual report on #hunger in America
By PAUL WISEMAN
Updated 6:01 PM EDT, September 20, 2025
WASHINGTON (AP) — "The Trump administration is ending the federal government’s annual report on hunger in America, stating that it had become 'overly politicized' and 'rife with inaccuracies.'
"The decision comes two and a half months after President Donald Trump signed legislation sharply reducing #FoodAid to the poor. The Congressional Budget Office has estimated that the tax and spending cuts bill Republicans muscled through Congress in July means 3 million people would not qualify for food stamps, also known as #SNAP benefits.
"The decision to scrap the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Household Food Security Report was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
"In a press release Saturday, the USDA said the 2024 report, to be released Oct. 22, would be the last."

New #Trump Order Among ‘Scariest Things I’ve Seen in US Politics,’ #CivilRights Attorney Says
The new order, he says, would essentially allow “random #fascist #vigilantes” to “sign up to be a #Brownshirt” for Trump’s militarized occupation forces.

Aug 26, 2025
"An executive order signed Monday by US President Donald Trump may permit 'random #FascistVigilantes' to help him #crackdown on protests across the country, according to one prominent civil rights lawyer.
"The new order, which comes amid wider concern about Trump’s #militarized takeover of #WashingtonDC, directs Secretary of Defense #PeteHegseth to ensure that each state’s #NationalGuard is equipped to 'assist Federal, State, and local law enforcement in quelling civil disturbances and ensuring the public safety.'
