Will Trump invoke the Insurrection Act?
The Cesspool of Sin found itself in the news last night when on perhaps three hours’ notice a couple of hundred gathered to protest the ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good. “The Briefing with Jen Psaki” ran clips not just from here but from across the U.S. (Local coverage here.)

The right is itching for Donald Trump to swing his tiny Sharpie at anyone who, like Good, refuses to roll over onto their backs and submit like a frightened cocker spaniel.
On their target list is Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, for example:
Republican lawmakers are urging President Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
This comes after the embattled Democrat threatened to deploy the National Guard in response to the actions of ICE in his state.
Republican Mary Miller called for the president to arrest Tim Walz in a post to X.
Miller’s calls to invoke the act gives Donald Trump the power to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement.
Walz’s threat came as a woman was shot dead by an ICE officer in Minnesota.
One imagines another Trump supporter named Miller is getting all moist in his nether regions over the idea of invoking the Insurrection Act. That is, when he and his boss are not fantasizing about bombing Iran.
The woman who flipped me off as she passed last night with her hand shaking with rage likely reflects the mood of authoritarian followers in the Trump cult about now.
Stay safe but not quiet.
