They do this all the time. Maybe Biden should call their bluff, execute his powers as Commander in Chief, and order the National Guard in Texas to turn on State Police.

    Did Texas get rid of their national guard? I thought they were just there.

      Each state has a National Guard unit, but it’s still part of the US Army. That’s what it’s called a National Guard.

        So you’re not aware that while National Guard can be called for active service they are actually under the control of the governor?

          Of course, but they aren’t a Texas army. The President can just decide to move them out or use them as needed.

          The US government is paying those soldiers.
