Remarkable final lines to dissent by Judge Graber in 9th Cir openly urging en banc reversal by Ninth Circuit and ending, "Above all, I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer."

Please refrain from bleaching your #pumpkins to extend their lifespan. Although this tip is trending on social media this season, it can be harmful to #wildlife. Pumpkins serve as a #food source for many animals—deer, squirrels, raccoons, possums, mice, rats, chipmunks, birds, and even insects.

Instead of scrolling. Read this. It’s excellent.

It's this photo if you missed it, savaging the East Wing to make a vanity ballroom.

This is far from the most important thing happening in terms of governance -- it's not even close. But campaign politics requires messaging that cuts through to people with symbolism and this one is a gift. And to defeat authoritarianism before it's too late, you have to win elections.

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Striking that the WaPo, which I believe broke this story, has it #5 on digital homepage (after other admittedly major stories). But it is #1 most read, and its symbolic/emotional weight clearly dwarfs other issues

Everyone realize that the reason the government is "shut down" is that the Republicans failed to pass a budget by Sept 30th, as they are required to do by law, and the government just ran out of money?

Seven of the nine universities that the White House initially approached about a plan to steer more federal money toward schools aligned with President Trump’s priorities have refused to endorse the proposal.

The argument is that the National Guard is needed, over the objections of the Mayor and Governor, to manage the dangerous protests at a single federal building. The protests:

Not the point, I know, but couldn't the Post have had a reporter walk over and take a look? "...according to a photo shared with The Washington Post and two people who witnessed the activity and spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe it." wapo.st/4hqBNiU

If you're a writer/other creator in the United States, consider creating an LLC for your business and then signing up for a local area Chamber of Commerce. Many of them have health insurance plans that pool their members and members of other CoCs to create insurance efficiencies relative to ACA.

I hope Portland and Oregon appeal en banc ASAP. This is a ridiculous ruling.

How many GOP Senators or Representatives will say a word about this profane destruction of American heritage? My guess: Zero. (Not counting "concern" from Susan Collins, "haven't seen it" from Mike Johnson, etc.)

Small businesses challenging many of President Trump’s global tariffs urged the US Supreme Court to affirm lower court rulings that the import levies amount to a massive illegal tax on American companies

Trump is destroying the White House. Another step in Trump’s attempt to demolish the United States.

That's the major relevant points of disagreement between the majority and the dissent. So what's next? Oregon could take this to the en banc 9th Circuit, which could put Judge Immergut's order back in effect. Or they could go to the Supreme Court Opinion: cst.brightspotcdn.com/d9/44/ff61b3...

What GOP Lawmakers Are Costing the US Economy to Avoid Funding Healthcare talkingpointsmemo.com/news/governm...

ICE increased weapons spending by 700% — including purchases of chemical weapons and guided missile warheads. ICE was always going to be Trump’s private military to deploy domestically against Americans. Pay attention.

“.. despite his pledge that construction of the $250 million addition wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing building.” @washingtonpost.com www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

This is definitely one of those things that people would’ve called you hysterical for predicting a year ago. Trump is going to destroy the East Room of the White House without even asking Congress and build a ballroom with funds from private companies that are seeking favors? Settle down, lib.

Excuses are more creative than the *satire* - which anyone who is sentient knows DT did not produce. Miller probably, but any number of sarcastic, dedicated-to division folks on his team, who clearly think they serve only voters who elected this president [a job of 4-8 years/so NEVER a mandate btw]

Satire huh? I was thinking about it last night, but I don't recall a time in my life when any Democrat (Carter, Clinton, Obama, Biden) who was the President had protest rallies against them in this country, let alone overseas. I guess Trump is special. 🤔

Trump said gas prices were under $2 several times

Ludicrous take to say nobody misses the video store. Going to my local video store as a teenager was so fucking good. They had a five movies for five days for five dollars deal that was pretty much the greatest thing ever and a super stoned clerk who had seen every movie known to man

Materials for sign: $15 Lunch w. adult beverage: $20 Watching Republicans try to spin this as an oligarch funded event: Absolutely fucking priceless.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

If by "moment of triumph" you mean Donald Trump's mirage of a peace deal lasted a moment, then yes!

This is the sign that moved me most today. The simple message. The homemade lettering. She seemed tired, but resolute. Saw so many people from that generation today. People whose parents lived through WWII, who know what fascism looks like, and who may not be around to see us get out of this.

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?

Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later). With a heavy sigh, I repeat: bring back professionalism. For the love of god. You're running comms for the government of the USA. Act like it.

Trump hosted a dinner this week for donors to his White House ballroom project. Now he's heading to Mar-a-Lago to host a $1 million-per-person dinner for his super PAC. Meanwhile, 700,000 federal employees are furloughed, with nearly as many working without pay due to his government shutdown.

This is a better use of our money than bailing out Argentina

The Trump administration is seeking emergency relief at #SCOTUS again—this time in the Chicago / National Guard federalization case. This is the 29th application the administration has filed since January 20. It’s No. 25A443, and should be up on the website shortly.

Speaker Johnson, the president just executed all of Congress and arrested the Supreme Court. Johnson: I didn’t see the tweet.

Trump's FCC tried to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air...literally a month ago today! Do they think we are stupid?

"Whaaaa! Whaaaa! How can I possibly be a Christian when the head of my denomination talks like its namesake?"

To be unaware of one thing you don't wish to talk about is convenient. To be unaware of *everything* you don't wish to talk about is either lying or incompetence. Or both.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

On Thursday, Judge Sarah Ellis ordered that the guy in charge of ICE Chicago, Russell Hott, show up for a hearing on Monday bc ICE is violating so many parts of an order she issued last week. On Friday, DHS decided Hott was no longer overseeing Chicago. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Reporter: There are survivors from the latest boat strike. What happens to them? Rubio: We are not prepared to announce details.

Universities need to stay strong

I'll take my shot at refutation. I don't hate America. I loathe everything you and your kind is doing to undermine and destroy its honor, promise and humanity. So I will join with millions of others in dissent, which is the most American thing there is. You lying, fearmongering, cowardly trash.

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]
