"Trump is attempting to erase the constitutional order itself. U.S. presidents do not have unilateral authority either to go to war abroad or at home against American cities; it is essential to emphasize this point as Trump aims to turn U.S. cities into occupied territories."

"Over the weekend, the Trump administration’s attempt to deploy the National Guard in Oregon blew up into a constitutional clash as serious as any we’ve seen so far this year (including, ironically, the clash over Abrego Garcia’s wrongful deportation)."

"Violence and stochastic terror remain the weapons of choice for MAGA. For the past 10 years, Trump’s supporters have engaged in threats and assaults against the media, judges, law enforcement, teachers, poll workers, and Democrats."

"What do we learn from the Chicago apartment raid plus the growing number of incidents in which ICE agents have physically attacked people who posed no conceivable threat? To me, it says that even 'alarmists' who warned about the threat a Trump administration would pose to democracy underestimated just how evil this administration would be."

"We didn’t expect America to become a country where masked secret policemen smash down your door in the middle of the night and take you away. Yet that’s where we are.

And don’t expect the attacks to be limited to immigrants."

"The 'enemy from within' is Donald Trump. The 'violent extremists' are Trump lackeys who have turned ICE into fascistic shock troops. This is not business as usual, or “Trump being Trump.”

"This is fascism. Not as historical analogy. Not as rhetorical flourish. As present reality.

Miller is declaring that the President’s will supersedes constitutional constraints. That judicial enforcement of statutory limits is rebellion. That checks and balances are acts of war against the Republic itself.

Trump's niece Mary is asked "if things went south for Donald, do you think that he would issue an executive 'Nero Decree' (scorched earth) order like Hitler did when his defeat was imminent?"

Her reply:

"Yeah, honestly, I’ve [been] saying that publicly since 2020. And I think the way I typically put it is this: If Donald thinks he’s going down, he will take all of us down with him if he can. It’s that simple."

"Judges have warned that with each new military deployment on U.S. soil, we inch closer to martial law, even as the White House brands its own Trump-appointed judges as 'insurrectionists.'

This is not normal. It cannot be normalized."

"He’s also bombing vessels in international waters — killing people whom he claims, without evidence, are smuggling drugs into the United States.

Meanwhile, much of the federal government is shuttered. Republicans in Congress are AWOL. Democrats in Congress are trying to use their limited leverage to get health insurance back for some 20 million Americans.

We’re in trouble, friends."

"He’s also defying a federal court. He’s ordering federal troops to forcefully occupy an American city whose mayor and governor don’t want him to. He’s already causing people — some of whom are American citizens — to be arrested and detained without due process."

"All of this happened over a single weekend. Trump is ordering United States military units to go to war against states and cities led by Democratic governors and mayors. When stymied by the courts, as he was in Oregon, he is attempting to get around court orders, turning his military deployment scheme into a whack-a-mole nightmare for governors and mayors."

"This is where we are. Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies."

"The Trump administration’s war on cities just entered a new, more terrifying phase. What stage of fascism is it when the president defies a court order and sends troops into a city anyway? Because as of Sunday, that’s where we’re at. ...

The terrorism is coming from inside the government."
