So, here's the question that I have for you lawyers and ConLaw experts: if the order came from Pence and not Trump, how is this a legal order? If Trump is still legally the commander in chief how do they circumvent that? https://t.co/MCHlEeNe7C

NEW: Trump initially rebuffed and resisted requests to mobilize the National Guard, according to a person with knowledge of the vents. It required intervention from White House officials to get it done, according to the person with knowledge of the events.

The argument that the conservative Justices at #SCOTUS are pushing is literally the *opposite* of Hawley’s nonsense — i.e., that state courts *can’t* override state legislatures on federal election rules.
Josh Hawley isn't fit for public service.

.@BarackObama says the pro-Trump violence shouldn't be a surprise because his party "and its accompanying media ecosystem has too often been unwilling to tell their followers the truth" about the election. "Now we're seeing the consequences, whipped up into a violent crescendo."
