On day 1 of the 2nd term, Trump signed an executive order that asked for a report due 90 days in on additional actions on the southern border. It specifically asked them to write if they thought the Insurrection Act should be invoked.

They aren’t going to recommend invoking it. If you heard people concerned about April 20th, this was the report they were talking about

Keep the pressure up. They’re starting to feel the pushback. Join the nationwide protests tomorrow April 19th

    This is surprising as they are total lapdogs, perhaps indeed the pressure worked.

    Remember though that trump doesn’t need them to invoke the act, but having them mention he should would help with legitimacy.
