Episode 143 | Trump’s National Guard Takeover
A judge in Oregon has blocked Trump sending the National Guard for now, but in Illinois, federal troops are already on the ground - over the governor’s objections. Asha and Renato dig into Trump’s escalating use of the Guard in Democratic cities and whether the courts can rein him in. Plus, another strike on a boat off Venezuela - no congressional approval, dubious legal basis and growing fears Trump is pushing the US toward war. Don’t miss it!
