“commandeer” is such a fascinating word choice here
Yes, Congress should be able to do these things. A court this contemptuous of Congress deserves to be packed by Congress, not only to correct these disastrous precedents but also because Congress needs to show both Article II and Article III who’s boss.

NEWSOM: "It's a vulgar display. It's the kind of thing you see with Kim Jong Un, Putin, dictators that are weak… How weak do you have to be to commandeer the military for your birthday?“

More evidence Trump isn’t changing course on mass deportations. Also, the feds can’t “commandeer” state law enforcement resources to execute their policies.

Remember when Trump sent a couple of thugs to his personal physician to commandeer his medical records?
I do.
I do.
Donald's latest medical report showed he had a colon polyp removed during a colonoscopy. When was the procedure? Was the polyp precancerous? Cancerous? We'll never know. The press never follows up, and Donald always lies.
Trump on Biden's cancer diagnosis: "I'm surprised that the public wasn't notified a long time ago, because to get to stage 9, that's a long time ... I did a very complete physical, including cognitive tests. I'm proud to announced I aced it."

Congress cannot ‘commandeer’ these agencies because they do not belong to the Executive - it creates and funds them, and it can destroy them!

THIS IS NOT CONSTITUTIONAL.
They cannot commandeer state and local law enforcement because they want to.
THIS IS NOT LAWFUL.
They cannot use federalized guard or military personnel for civilian law enforcement absent rebellion and insurrection.

Comer: "We're gonna support doing this in other cities if it works out in Washington DC. We spend a lot on our military. Our military has been in many countries around the world for the past two decades walking the streets trying to reduce crime. We need to focus on the big cities in America now."

Sanctuary policies are legal. The Supreme Court has been clear for decades that the federal government cannot commandeer state or local governments to enforce federal immigration law. This isn’t “playing with fire.” It’s constitutional law.

I’d commandeer a floor of ILM to remake the Transformers movie.
You can remake any movie from 40 years ago, what 1986 film are you picking?

Bluesky is that special place where someone will take time out from serialposting about how ICE can never defeat one mid sized midwesern city to post about how ICE is going to commandeer every voting booth in the US and all is lost

They are disappearing undesirables. They are deploying the military into cities. And now they are trying to commandeer railway stations.
I can’t put my finger on it but this sounds familiar.

Consistent with Project 2025, the Trump administration has managed to capture, commandeer, or corrupt every important social institution -- every important social institution except juries, that is. Project 2025 didn't have a plan for juries.
BREAKING: @carolleonnig.bsky.social reports a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C. declined to indict Sens. Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin on charges of seditious conspiracy Tuesday, according to a person familiar with the proceedings.

The "hostile resistance" is stuff like Minnesota not allowing the feds to commandeer public parking lots for ICE to stage operations. Not sure how that justifies disarming and executing a VA nurse.
Leavitt lies: "Let's be clear about the circumstances which led to that moment on Saturday. This tragedy occurred as a result of a deliberate and hostile resistance by Democrat leaders in Minnesota."

ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

It seems like the federal government wanted to commandeer the judge into doing their law enforcement work, which they cannot do as a constitutional matter. Refusing to assist the federal government is not the same as actively impeding law enforcement. This is highly suspect behavior from the feds.
Seeing claims about the judge "hiding" the defendant. Read the complaint, folks (written by DOJ). The guy was literally in the public area where the agents were. I guess he got on an elevator before they could get to him. The complaint says after letting the defendant exit she came back to the bench

Where are the defenders of the US as Elon and nameless private agents infiltrate US agencies, commandeer US servers, steal US data, seize US money, march US officials from US buildings? Who sallies forth from the FBI? The CIA? Congress? DoD? The media? This is a coup—and America appears defenseless.
