Civil Discourse with Joyce Vance · Joyce Vance · last updated

Tomorrow at 10:30 am ET, I’ll be going live on Substack from the Stay Tuned account with the Brennan Center’s Liza Goitein, an expert on presidential emergency powers. We’ll be discussing Trump’s latest deployment of the National Guard in D.C., including Trump’s new executive order, issued today, that directs Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to create a specialized unit in the D.C. National Guard devoted to “ensuring public safety.”
