As someone living in Texas I see so many people say this shit. Biden should have federalized the national guard yesterday and this fucking sucks.

The national guard isn't under the authority of the national government?

Each state has regiments of national guard that are under the control of the governor of that state. The president can "federalize" the national guard putting them under his control. To further add confusion some states have State Guards that are state controlled militias.
