Chaos erupts as President Trump deploys the National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in response to peaceful protests against ICE deportation raids. Maggie and guest co-host Matt Rothschild dives into the alarming federal escalation. They spend this hour trying to unpack Trump’s use of a rarely invoked legal provision that allows federalization of troops without state consent. This unprecedented move sparks widespread concern over creeping authoritarianism, with legal experts warning of the potential slide toward martial law. Maggie underscores the power of nonviolent protest and the need for legal, peaceful resistance. As tensions rise, she and Matt call for unwavering vigilance and unity to defend democracy against the threat of authoritarian overreach.
