🧵Newsom v. Trump begins tomorrow, Aug. 11, as a 3-day bench trial. For the first time in U.S. history, a court will decide whether a president violated the Posse Comitatus Act by using military forces as domestic law enforcement.
Here are the key facts: (🧵1/9)
At the center: Trump’s June 2025 order to federalize California’s National Guard and send troops to Los Angeles after immigration-related protests.
Newsom says it was illegal, an abuse of power, and a direct violation of the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act. (🧵2/9)
What is the Posse Comitatus Act?
Enacted in 1878, it bars using the U.S. military for civilian law enforcement unless Congress authorizes it.
It’s designed to preserve civilian control and prevent presidents from using the military for domestic political purposes. (🧵3/9)
That’s what @SenJoniErnst told an Iowa voter worried Medicaid cuts would cost lives. Then she filmed a smirking graveyard video to mock the concern even more. Then she voted yes. Here’s what Joni actually voted for—by the numbers. (1/18)
🧵Medicaid will be slashed by $904M/year in Iowa. Thats 96,000 Iowans who stand to lose Medicaid by 2034.
702,000 Iowans currently rely on Medicaid—about 20% of the state (2/18)
🧵Iowa operates 112 hospitals, many in rural areas, 44% already run at a loss.
Even with a $50B national relief fund, funding per hospital is ~$4.5M/year—far short of projected losses .
Median Medicaid revenue is $3.9M per rural hospital/year. Iowans will lose across to care as hospitals are at risk of closing. (3/18)
In April 2024, Lauren Boebert was hospitalized for a blood clot and had surgery for May-Thurner Syndrome which covered by taxpayer-funded health insurance. Yesterday she posted smiling pics while voting to take healthcare away from millions. (1/8)
🧵Boebert won her last election by 5.8 points. Meanwhile, 16% of her district is on Medicaid, around 3x her margin. These are the things that need to be said non-stop, not just for election purposes, but for accountability. (2/8)
🧵 The Urban Institute projects that 95,000–108,000 Coloradoans could lose coverage under these new rules. Those that don’t get preventive care still end up in the emergency room. Uncompensated care will shift costs to private insurance, pushing up premiums for everyone. (3/8)
(🧵) Friendly reminder that if you’re overwhelmed right now and feel like there’s nothing you can do, you’re wrong! Not everything requires drone footage or the national news. Real change starts at the local level and it’s powerful. (1/23)
Here’s a thread of things you CAN do.
Phone the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121.

🧵Here’s a quick thread breaking down what the, formerly, Global Engagement Center actually did—so you can understand what Marco Rubio’s decision really means, and why its closure could have serious consequences for U.S. national security. (1/6)
The GEC was created by the U.S. State Department to counter foreign disinformation and targeted propaganda from countries like Russia, China, Iran, and extremist groups. It has been specifically focused on foreign actors, not domestic speech. 🧵2/6
The GEC tracked fake news campaigns & troll farms tied to state-sponsored interference. It shared intelligence with allies like NATO and the EU and funded independent media, fact-checking, and digital literacy programs. 🧵3/6
🧵 If you’re applauding the abolishment of the Department of Education, you need to do a little research. You have ZERO clue what the DOE actually does.
Here’s a reality check on what the Department of Education actually does:
(1/14)
✅ Protects students with disabilities
Enforces IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) and 504 plans under IDEA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Without this, schools could refuse accommodations to kids who need them. (🧵2/14)
✅ Ensures equal access to education
Enforces Title IX (protecting students from sex discrimination), Title VI (protecting students from racial discrimination), and ensures equal opportunities for English language learners and low-income students.
