Army Generals DEFY Trump’s Portland Invasion Orders "Labeling Him a Criminal" | Rachel Maddow

An iconic US Army general just accused Donald Trump of the ultimate crime. This is not normal, folks! 

It’s now Day 6 of the shutdown, and the Democratic minority leader has challenged the Republican House speaker to a televised debate on the impasse over reopening the federal government. Mike Johnson dismissed Hakeem Jeffries’ challenge as “theatrics.” Mutual trust between President Donald Trump and the Democrats is elusive as leaders in both parties bet that public sentiment will pressure the other side to cave.

Meanwhile, a federal judge late Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying any National Guard units to Oregon, after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when the president mobilized California troops for Portland. The same judge had blocked him from using Oregon’s National Guard the day before. Trump has also moved to deploy 300 National Guard troops to Chicago as federal immigration agents adopt increasingly combative tactics in the city.

The Latest:

Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., offered the proposal to seat Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva of Arizona, who won her election last month, but has yet to be sworn into office.

“This is outrageous,” McGovern said after short House session. The chamber was gaveled closed with no action on his request.

House Speaker Mike Johnson had said Grijalva would be seated this week, but he has since called off the regular session.

Grijalva is expected to become the final signature needed to force a House vote on releasing the files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

“This is all about a continuation of the Epstein cover-up,” McGovern said. “They are so frightened of the Epstein files. I don’t know what’s in them, but this place doesn’t work.”

The head of the Chicago police defended the department’s involvement in weekend clashes between federal immigration agents and protesters.

Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said at a news conference Monday that it’s difficult to toe the line between state and local laws that bar police from assisting in federal immigration enforcement and their responsibility to protect the public.

He said his officers briefly secured the scene Saturday after a woman claimed federal immigration agents shot her. He said later that day, a vehicle rammed one carrying federal agents, pushing it off the road, and that his officers helped protect federal agents from a large crowd.

The Trump administration now has two days to respond to an Illinois lawsuit to block the federalization of the Illinois National Guard and the Texas National Guard.
