Portland’s “No Kings” Protest Backfires After Court Ruling

from The Adult in the Room · host Victoria Taft

Walk through the Ninth Circuit’s ruling that affirmed the President’s authority to deploy National Guard support to protect federal facilities—yes, even in Portland. You’ll see what that meant for the “No Kings” actions outside ICE HQ, why federal overtime and local police non-response became key facts, and how agitators reportedly tried to manufacture “moments” for the cameras.You’ll also step inside Seattle’s Anarchist Book Fair—where “anarchy” came with a long list of rules (masks required, no bikes, no dogs, curated lunch). We’ll connect the money flows and the NGO alphabet soup you keep hearing about, then finish with the latest DC intrigue: a referral for former CIA director John Brennan and what Congress says he knew.#Portland #NinthCircuit #NationalGuard #ICE#Antifa #NoKings #Seattle #Anarchist #FreeSpeech #VictoriaTaft
