John, it’s Rep. Zoe Lofgren. I’ll keep this quick.
Donald Trump just said he’s open to invoking the Insurrection Act if federal courts block him from sending the National Guard to Democratic-controlled cities.
Let me be clear, John. Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in cities like Portland, Baltimore, and Los Angeles is not only dangerous – it’s illegal.
But invoking the Insurrection Act would give Trump license to weaponize the military against US citizens just because he disagrees with them.
And coming from a President who was impeached for inciting an actual insurrection in 2021? Give me a break.
I’ve spent my entire career in Congress protecting our democracy from foreign and domestic threats, and I won’t let it be fractured by a 34-time felon and wannabe King.
But I need your support to keep protecting Americans from Trump’s unlawful actions, so please chip in anything you can afford to my re-election campaign today >>
