I had a heartfelt conversation with folks from UFCW in Lansing about the impact SNAP cuts could have on shoppers nationwide—especially when their benefits lapse or they lose eligibility altogether. These arbitrary cuts are bad for MI and will leave more people hungry and struggling.
Trump has been talking about this since Project 2025 came out. So since January, I've pressed Trump nominees about these very issues: politicizing our military, sending in the Guard against the wishes of a sitting Governor, and upholding our Constitution. Watch for yourself.
No President has the right to use the uniformed military in a way that violates the Constitution and taints the apolitical military. Whether you’re a supporter of the president or not, everyone should be concerned that major lines on the use of force are now being crossed.
This deployment of the National Guard is a dangerous step towards misuse of the U.S. military in our streets. This Administration has been looking for excuses to invoke the Insurrection Act, to use the U.S. military against Americans. That’s their playbook, and we should be clear-eyed about that.
This is not hypothetical. During President Trump's first term, he asked the Pentagon to deploy active duty 82nd Airborne troops to DC to put down peaceful protests and the National Guard flew helicopters extremely low over protestors.
The military is trained to carry out high-intensity foreign combat, like house-to-house counterterrorism operations. And they do that exceptionally well. But this does not always translate to things like crowd control and urban policing, which can escalate quickly if not properly trained.
Third -- and connected to the above point, our troops are not trained in law enforcement tactics. The Secretary of the Army reaffirmed this fact to me during his nomination hearing in January.
We know this from experience in Michigan. In 1967, the National Guard was deployed to Detroit in response to protests at our then-Governor’s request. It made the violence worse, and the scars are still there 60 years later.
First -- Our troops are intended by law to protect America from foreign adversaries, never to advance one party's political agenda. This is what separates American democracy from places like Chinese communism.
I worked at the Pentagon and the CIA for Democratic and Republican presidents. This kind of action should send a chill down the spine of anyone concerned about protecting the apolitical military, and minimizing an escalation of violence in our streets.
