Reporter: The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military.
Bowser: I think I speak for all Americans, we don't believe it is legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.

This is not supposed to be a China or Russia with "THEIR” own American military paid for by Americans, used against them in oppressive fascist control. Trump is a tyrant, pedo, felon.
-
Well, it’s not legal but Trump is a CRIMINAL so he doesn’t care what’s legal.
-
Yeah, the problem is he doesnt care what is legal, and apparently neither do the 2 other branches of our fed govt
And he doesn't care what Americans think
-
Where are we with posse comitatus again?
-
The entirety of Trump’s existence should be deemed illegal.
-
Pay attention to Senators in the Republican Party attempting to move into Governor seats. Tommy Tuberville, Marsha Blackburn. Alabama and Tennessee. Nancy Mace in S.C. There's a political restructuring in the south. Senators shifting to positions of Governors for control of state military forces.
-
Arrest him then. Just fucking do it. He doesn’t care if it’s legal or not you shouldn’t either.
-
Didn’t she cave on the Black Lives Matter street painting…agreeing to remove it? This was a pretty weak statement. The people of DC have been in the streets all day. How is the Mayor supporting them. Even Bass did a better, vocal job. I’d like to see them at a protest
-
I gotta believe it’s going to be the U.S. Military that will eventually say NO to Trump and #HappyHourHegseth
-
She's so pathetic she removed literally tore up Black Lives Matter Plaza just before Trump moved back in.
-
She will now take this to court, and the court will say that it is legal under the Home Rule Act. Since he declared a made up emergency. But under the Posse Comitatus Act the military is restricted from involvement in domestic law enforcement. They cannot stop peaceful protests.
-
However kids will be kids especially when they are trying to get the class to look away from the subject at hand! Stay Focused! Can we see the files or at least hear from the former pilot who counts 37 island flights featuring YOU! Assignment still in progress! Stay focused
-
-
Nothing says "Land of the FREE" like military on the streets policing citizens.
-
Whatever it takes to keep everybody's mind off the Epstein files.
-
Chk the gd constitution.
-
My question is who is going to be held accountable when the military is used illegally for a corrupt leader’s political agenda? That’s what’s happening right now. Like January 6 except he didn’t use the National Guard or the DC police because the people committing the insurrection were his friends.
-
One of the Capital press core needs to ask the PEDO POTUS why he didn’t call in the National Guard on January 6th, the day he fomented an Insurrection??
Oh wait, because he wanted his idiot thugs to overturn a presidential election!
Thank you Biden/Garland for leaving the country to a fkn traitor!
-
Every time someone says something Trump does is illegal while he does it anyway, I just want to scream in their face.
-
-
It’s not about what you believe anymore but about everything and anything that can distract from the Epstein files.
-
A dictatorship is nationalizing local law enforcement to suppress dissent and control cities. At least raise your voice and call it what it is.
-
What? Marshall law? That's not even remotely funny.
-
Ok now what? Lawsuit? Insurrection? Poison Diet Coke? Lee Harvey Oswald 2.0?
-
No Taxation without Representation?
-
No. And certainly not for generalized law keeping/ending constitutional democracy by punishing locales for not voting for your team…
-
The mental midget is out of control
-
Unfortunately, many people believe that whatever Trump wants to do is just great. No standards beyond that.
-
The US is officially functioning as an autocracy now, with no checks and balances between the maga congress and judges, all demonstrating their allegiance to the ‘president’ instead of the Constitution.
-
And yet? She has no spine
-
He'll change that faster than he hid the Epstein list.
-
-
She acts like this is a interruption of a Sunday picnick. What the hell.
-
“BUT THIS IS WHAT DICTATORS DO!!”
IMPEACH this Trump. Now.
-
This is literally one of the grievances in The Declaration of Independence.
Again, the dumbass thinks that document is a “to do” list.
-
-
This is a lawless administration and don't give one tiny microscopic fuck about the laws. The laws are for us little people only.
-
Blackout The System (@blackoutthesystem)
We NEED our military to stand with us!
-
Idiot..by doing this.. it's just reminding me... on January 6th.. he said he didn't have the authority to call in the guards.. but I guess he did??? So.. he did start an insurrection.. and wanted the rioters to hang Mike Pence.. not a good distraction from EPSTIEN.. he should be arrested for both!
-
And where is the democratic congressional leadership in all this? The silence is deafening.
-
He’s already accumulated animosity, in the ranks !!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬
-
Trying to start an all out civil war ‼️‼️‼️🤬. Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !!! Bravo, I salute you sir 🫡🫡🫡👏🏾👏🏽👏🏻👏🏿👏🏼👍🏾 ( Informative/ Educational/ Treasonous + someone better get a hold, on that fool ‼️‼️‼️) … and RELEASE THE FILES ‼️‼️‼️
-
"The president threatened to use not just the National Guard but the military. "
How many National Guardsmen just spit out their coffee?
-
I would amend her statement: we KNOW it is ILLEGAL to use the American military against American citizens on American soil.
-
Umm. National Guard is military, no?
-
Democrat lawyers please 🙏 Stop this madness! The courts seem to be the only place where Trump gets stopped from his illegal actions!!! #LA #DC
-
Your right. Trump can only use the Military if war is on the USA soil. It's in the constitution. All those ICE AGENTS are just highly paid and True Agents are against this. Not trained. Like I said weeks ago gangs are buying plain white vans. Camouflage , masks. trafficking has never been easier
-
sign.moveon.org/petitions/dc...
No federal militarized takeover of our nation's capital!
The American military should not be used against the American people—period. Trump’s takeover of D.C. puts every single one of us in harm's way. Add your name to the petition to protect our communitie...
-
The mealy-mouthed approach dems(and media) keep taking are the reason we are so far down this road of authoritarian/fascist policies.
Call it out. Speak truth to power. Find your spines!

DOGE: Department of Government Efficiency
DOGE: Department of Government Efficiency
-
He is in Violation of the #Constitution he can't seem to remember he swore to uphold...twice! Isn't that treason by definition?
-
Trump is targeting cities with Black mayors: LA, DC, Baltimore.
This is who Trump is: Racist. Rapist. Felon.
Make an example of Trump that the people of the United States will not fold to a tyrannical, fascist, bloated, rapist, bankrupt, classless, wanna-be dictator.
-
The Founders were crystal clear: the U.S. military exists to defend the people, not wage war on them. If troops turn their guns on Americans at home, they’re the enemy—and history, law, and liberty say we can shoot back.
-
Someone read to the"journalist" the Posse Comitatus Act!!! (Part of the US Constitution)They should know it, but they are who they are NOW!!!
-
They gleefully beat demonstrators during BLM, legal has nothing to do with it anymore. Troops must refuse illegal orders and leave.
-
They don't get it. He's a dictator now, given his authority by the Republican Party and the Supreme Court. He can do whatever he wants and no one can stop him. He had the 2024 election rigged and the tabulation machines haven't been fixed because...Republicans are complicit and so is SCOTUS.
-
Can’t they just say no? If they all say no, the dumpster has no pull.
-
So, does anyone doubt that the orange turd is off his rocker? It is truly amazing that those around are content with his demented meanderings and his decision making processes are the stuff that would make Freddie Krueger throw up then jump out the window. C'mon, you had to have noticed!
-
Somebody tell him NO!
-
So when are the military leaders going to uphold their oaths to the constitution and stop following illegal orders???
-
Well you govern thanks to the people, FOR the people of America, and NOT against them. So the answer should be: We govern thanks to the people of America and we do not harm or dishonor that trust in any way. But of course, there is a show man at The Oval Office. Not a Politician nor a President 🤡
-
Two words STANDING ROCK
-
MORE "FIGHT" than that please!
-
Fun fact: it is illegal.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_C...
Posse Comitatus Act - Wikipedia
-
but hey, it got folks to stop talking about Epstein
-
Bless. They’re still thinking about legality.
-
Does it seem to anyone, he cares about what is legal?Thank you ….. you, scurrilous scum= SCOTUS!!!!
-
Trump.eas looking for a major distraction from the Epstein files controversy etc
-
Man there is going to be one HELL of a Pendulum swing when this current bullshit is over
-
Hello nothing that msn does is legal but has it stopped him? People are not just scared but angry of what us hsppeing to this country and how NOONE is stopping him like literally dtrapping him to his bed stop
-
True, but sadly, who is going to stop him?
-
Epstein tapes Epstein tapes Epstein tapes.
This is just a diversion to change the news cycle.
-
As long as we don’t ask about Epstein…
-
Yes, it's definitely easier to deploy the National Guard to DC than to release The Epstein Files. In Epstein we trust! bsky.app/profile/opsa...
-
This mayor needs to Gavin Newsome his ass
-
-
So do something about it. Useless.
-
#ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles
-
I agree it's illegal for him to use our military for him to use American military against American citizens. It's WRONG.
-
Legal carries no weight in the natter.
-
No one in America hates America or Americans more than prisidint Donald J. Trump
-
They already did!! LA!!
-
What will Trumpedo do today to distract from his appearance in the Epstein files - and should they be called the Trumpedo Files?
-
Aren't occasions like this what the 2nd amendment is for?
-
She does not seem like she’s up for this job. She does not seem very knowledgeable. That’s not good.
-
Is it a matter of “belief” or a matter of law???
-
It's NOT legal. Just say it's not legal. Easy.
-
And she'd be absolutely correct👽
-
But, what will you actually do???
-
美军变成川卫军？
-
This carnival barker thrives on creating emotional exhaustion—it’s a deliberate tactic aligned with implementing the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 playbook.
-
I stand with Muriel Bowser
-
Since when did Trump care about what is legal. Past experience indicates that no one will stop him.
-
The time to act is now! How can that pedophile felon get away with this
-
-
Well someone needs to recall the Marines out in LA.. Haven't read yet that they've come back home. Trump can't LEGALLY militarize national guard, local cops against citizens, but hey, he's trump. Doesn't care & nobody stops him.
-
Another weak democrat. Timid and fearful. Just what we don’t need.
-
When Scump orders it it’s not illegal 😡
-
Not legal Bowser. Take a page from Pritzker and stand up to this thug. File a lawsuit. Stop PEDO NOW. Stop “believe”. Stop “ think” DO SOMETHING. @mayorbowser.bsky.social
-
HE DOESN’T CARE IF IT IS LEGAL OR NOT!!!!!
(Sorry for the yelling)
-
She is a terrible speaker
Sure, he said oh Trump has the power to do this
And now she doesn’t believe it’s legal
Duh
-
She is a class act! Strong and full of conviction. Thank you, Mayor Bowser for holding the line and standing up for our national capitol.
-
Too late
-
They don't give a shit about what's legal. Rule of law is dead. It's time the rest of us started acting like it
-
News flash honey,
They don't CARE if it's legal or not.
-
Another black woman targeted
-
Define agree no military against the people.
-
From a Europeans perspective, this is fucking horrendous and anybody who didn’t think the paedo/rapist you elected as your president was never going to do this you are a fucking imbecile. His whole playbook, well, his handlers whole playbook, is basically page for page what happened in Nazi Germany.
-
Has ANYONE heard of the POSSE COMITATUS ACT OF 1878?!!!!!!!! Using the military as police is ILLEGAL! Look this up!
-
That’s why it says in the constitution that Americans have the right to bear arms - to protect themselves from a tyrannical government. Isn’t that why that is there?
-
Democrats talk too fucking much 🙄
-
Sooooo…the President DOES have the authority to call in the NG to DC?! Did he go through Mike Johnson for this? Oh no, he couldn’t because the House in recess. Huh. Where all the “Only Speaker Pelosi Can Call in the National Guard” people at now?
-
Why does Trump lie pathologically?
A lack of respect for the collective intelligence:🇺🇸
Lying suggests the liar believes the other person is either too naive to see through the deception or not deserving of the truth.
📍Trump fooled the country, not once but TWICE.
-
Where the F was this question during trumps presser announcing this bs?
-
Hasn’t a federal judge effectively said that for now he can though? At least in California, which is less Blue than DC, so it clearly must apply there as well.
-
And the Republican’s are supporting this crap, vote BLUE 2026 for a super majority and a FREE AMERICA !!!!!!!!
-
I think I speak for all Americans: "Can we stop pretending that legality is a determining factor in if Trump will do something?"
-
Trump does not care what’s legal or not! 😳
-
Unfortunately he doesn’t give a shit about what is legal, nor does his FBI Director, Attorney General, SCOTUS or Congress. I’m really scared for America right now.
-
Why can’t we shoot masked armed Gestapo capturing citizens. I really don’t understand.
-
Only if they are domestic terrorists & not abiding by the Constitution according to the military oaths.
So, ICE @ the direction of Donald Trump, Stephen Miller & Kristi Noem are domestic terrorists by ignoring asylum laws & due process. -
Should have ended her statement with “this is a man doing god knows what with Jeff Epstein for 15 years, so we know he doesn’t have a respect for American laws or values”
-
Maybe the military can help locate the Epstein files.
-
Focus!
-
Keep your fucking hands off DC
-
Right on cue. Distract from Epstein by physical violence against the people of America. The capital no less. Frightening dictatorship right here. Right now. Not later. Now.
-
God damned right!
-
But here the fuck we are
-
She needs coaching from Gov Pritzker.
-
Let's stop glossing over the truth of the matter. THEY DON'T FUCKING CARE about what's legal! Get that into your heads folks! They continue to completely IGNORE the rule of law at every turn. And until folks fully comprehend that, our descent into the bowels of fascism will be unabated!
-
“We don’t believe” drinking chlorine is good for you. VS “Stop drinking that sh*t, it’s going to kill you!”
-
Her thoughts on this matter is irrelevant cause she bend the knee.
-
-
Yo, Bowser, do you really think that the Pedofuhrer is concerned about legality?
-
"we don't believe..."
Trump and MAGA don't give two shits what you "believe."
-
-
You either use the 2nd amendment and end this bullshit or you will lose your constitution and country and live under an authoritarian regime where you’ll probably get shot on the street for thinking the wrong thing. Your time to act as now stop fucking around and start fucking around.
-
Deploying the military and national guard has nothing to do with “Big Ballz” and a lot to do with suppressing protests in DC.

-
The Marines came to LA already.
-
It is. That's why he's building his private army with ICE.
-
He was right when he said this country is hot and I think he's about to find out.
-
Ah, Ma'am, please see Los Angeles about a month ago.
-
Legality doesn't matter if it distracts from him being a pedophile.
-
Trump, almost certainly:
“Legal, schmegal…who’s going to stop me?”
-
Wow, she sure is taking a powerful stand to defend the rule of law!!! (Ohmygod. What a limp assed nothing she is)
-
J6 is complete
America is lost
-
Uh huh, thought that here in Los Angeles, too.
-
It is NOT legal. Remove “think” from your statement.
-
I don’t give a fuck if some lawyer can find a loophole to twist 100 years of “no military use against our own citizens”. It’s unnecessary and it’s unacceptable, ESPECIALLY if local authorities don’t request assistance from the federal government.
-
Violation of POSSE COMITATUS

Trump gives no thought to legal or illegal. His MO is to do whatever he wants, and let it be challenged in the corrupt courts. But the damage is already done.
-
I think it's the fastest way to get the military to lay down their guns!
-
Trump fucked children on Epsteins Island
-
What’s this in preparation for? Could it be to quash mass protest to upcoming revelations. Or just another step toward Marshal Law, bc it’s more important to control your own citizens than keep us safe from outside enemies. Trump lied to the world about his reasons for using the NG and/or Military⁉️
-
This is NOT okay, people.
-
-
If you want us to invade America to overthrow Trump, let us know, we'd be happy to help!
- The rest of the world
-
Found the home base of criminals in D.C.
-
Mayor Bowser. It's either legal or illegal. It's not about what you believe. Quit fucking around about it. Take a stand.
-
same energy as someone being attacked by a Tiger in India and claiming, this not alllowed I'm on vacation!
-
The National Guard is the military.
-
And what has prevented the fascist terrorist and paedophile president from pushing through illegal measures so far? Nothing! He does whatever he wants! But keep talking... point your finger angrily, that's sure to help!
-
-
Mayor Bass needs to give her a call.
-
But he will, and no one will do a damn thing about it. LA?
-
Now, Ms. Alito
-
It is ABSOLUTELY not legal to use the US Military against US citizens!
-
It's easy to post. When will we all take action? Peacefully. I think people have their head in the sand about how serious this is or don't want to be inconvienced. Organize. Trump is winning. Stop waiting for someone else to save US.
-
So many people are posting and complaining. But why aren't we taking to the streets? Trump is winning.
-
Not “we don’t believe.” It is ILLEGAL!
-
It’s time for Democrats to grow a set.
Stop using words like “I think” and “we don’t believe”.
This IS a dangerous and severe precedent being set. It’s wrong and it’s an authoritarian grasp at power.
Get angry. Show emotion. Tell it how it really is.
This is a soft introduction of martial law.
-
He’s been talking about doing this in DC for awhile. Her response is like they haven’t prepared at all to deal with it. So odd & surprising that this is how she/they are responding.
-
On J6 Trump didn't send any help for the Police.....
TRUMP IS FULL OF SHIT!
-
Wtaf is going on in America? Things can get much much worse..... I so hope they don't.
-
Anyone calling for American citizens to FLOOD THE STREETS OF DC and shut the whole city down? I feel like that's what we need to do.
-
To the honorable Mayor Bowser, STOP USING "WE BELIEVE"!!! Or, "we think". Goddamn it, it is NOT LEGAL! Be emphatic and "crystal clear" to throw Pam's words back at her. Fuck them. They will keep trying this shit unless it gets shut down now.
-
Why is "belief" needed here when we have the law to rely on?
-
Have reporters asked the teen perps who paid them to go after Big Balls….seems like too much of a coincidence….
-
He really doesn’t get the difference
-
Trump is dumb as a brick.
-
“We don’t believe “ hell no it’s not legal. Can’t anyone READ THE CONSTITUTION and put a stop to this madness?
-
That’s not just illegal — it’s the very definition of what our founders warned us about. Using the military against civilians is how democracies crumble into dictatorships.
-
Democracy dies with speeches and no action.
Never thought you'd be on the receiving end for once, eh?
-
Since when has Trump cared about whether something is legal or not?
-
You democrats don’t believe it is legal? Are you all fucking dense. What has this regime done that was legal you stupid fuckwits. You are absolutely useless.
-
If it’s legal to use our own military against us, we can never rid ourselves of authoritarianism. The Constitution gives us freedom to revolt against kings trying to take over and violating the rule of law!
-
Nothing he's doing is legal - nobody is stopping him.
-
nothing is legal about the pmurt admin
-
I don't think he cares about legality.
-
It’s definitely illegal
