At long last — Donald Trump was forced to stand down FOR ONCE.

A federal judge has ordered the National Guard — which Trump illegally deployed into Los Angeles back in June — to be returned to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s control immediately.

This is huge. For months, Trump used those troops as political muscle — testing how far he could push presidential power and whether he could get away with turning the military into a weapon against Democratic-led cities.

Yesterday, the courts told him, “Enough. This is unconstitutional.” Now, we hope for the rest of the states, too.

This isn’t just a legal ruling. It’s the first major crack in Trump’s authoritarian armor — and it comes at exactly the moment Democrats need momentum heading into 2026. It proves something vital.

Trump can be stopped. His abuses of power are not unstoppable. When we fight back, we win. But this fight is nowhere near over. Trump’s allies are already demanding new crackdowns. His lawyers are preparing appeals. His administration is looking for the next boundary to break.

If Democrats don’t organize now, this victory won’t last. Will you chip in $10 today to help Building Blue turn this rare win into real momentum for 2026? Every dollar helps us build the power we need to stop Trump’s next attack.

Today, Trump’s grip slipped. Now it’s on us to widen the break — and turn this rare win into a Democratic majority in 2026.

In the fight,

Building Blue
