The legislative branch is self-immolated. The judicial branch survives only at the pleasure of our current president. We are already living under authoritarianism. Only our state and local governments can save the country. It’s been a wild, 250-year run.

Will this scaffolding and tarp remain in place for the next two years? What’s the polymarket on that?

Oh… wait. NOT like this.

Like this?

Apparently we now must ask the baby where their allegiance lies.

Listening to House Oversight Committee hearing with the Acting Director of Ice, CPB Commissioner, and Citizenship and Immigration Services Director.

Maxine Waters is a lousy Representative. There. I said it.

It struck me, just now, that what is different, what has changed, is that one side has abandoned the notion that competing with the other is better for everyone, and now seeks to simply eliminate the other side. 1-

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/w... Just want to put it out there that individuals entering a church and disrupting church services is not the same as the government disrupting church services. One is a first amendment violation and the other is not.

Unacceptable. A road — possibly associated with Tren de Aragua — left unpaved by Minnesota radicals weaponized itself against two of our courageous officers, causing one to discharge his firearm in self-defense. We stand by our brave boys.

Watched this at 2x speed. 1. Jack Smith was prepared, resolute, certain of his rectitude. Never reacted, only responded. 2. The GOP questioning found no purchase with Smith, belying their case.

Oopsie.

Honor is dead.

Do you suppose they have any idea how ridiculous they look in this tactical gear?

Chairman Jim Jordan (still in his shirt sleeves) and Director Kash Patel seem well rehearsed and well coordinated this morning.

“The law doesn’t protect the innocent. It incarcerates those who are probably, maybe, guilty.

The gun nuts see school shootings as opportunities for more school shootings.

Someone please explain why immigration enforcement agents need anonymity, but law enforcement officers do not. www.politico.com/news/2025/08...

WE NEED THIS NEWS! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

JFC I can’t wait until this clown show of an administration gets booted out. Please retweet. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Hey SF! Find this dog! Then, if you have a chance, read this horrifying thread.

The DOJ, hampered by obtuse, misplaced malice against Abrego, spectacularly fails in court today.

You guys! You have to read this thread on the batshit hearing in Maryland for Abrego! (And then, you’ll have to take a shower.)

And with that, Judge Xinis decides it's time for a break. We're on recess for 15 minutes -- I'll resume this thread then! Thanks for following along. If you appreciate our live courts coverage, I hope you'll consider supporting our non-profit journalism: givebutter.com/journalism/a...

Happy Fourth of July, though “our Sacred Honor” lies, cut to tiny pieces by our current president and his fellow gang members.

The tune was chosen as code from the Army, aimed squarely at non-MAGA: Eff Trump.

Intersting and a little odd news about the main suspect in the Hot Hortman/Hoffman shootings. He is reportedely militant anti-abortion. youtu.be/dFpwIGlJI0Y

Israel strikes Iran and says nothing to the US. Other world leaders no longer respect the US because the current US leaders: Won’t keep secrets. View all struggles as zero-sum. Favor tyranny over democracy. Employ chaos as a means. Disdain humility. Pass the buck. Break their word.

Who knew? Our schools, hospitals, and communities are destroyed. Invaders now occupy the US. There’s a school across the street that looks great, but Trump says is destroyed. Totally got past me.

“I will take your dreams and stomp all over them until they are utterly crushed.” - D. Trump, probably Entire Fulbright board quits, blaming Trump administration interference - USA TODAY

LAPD protecting and serving.

Immigrants. They get the job done.

“Look, the debt pain caused by this bill won’t be felt for years. In the meantime we can live large! After that, we will totally blame the Dems, or maybe even Elon.”

When President Trump “Los Angeles will be set free,” he means Los Angeles will be annexed into his authoritarian reich.

LAPD personnel seem, generally, more attractive than ICE agents.

Listening to US Attorney - Central District of California- LA Field Office describe the “sophisticated and highly coordinated” action by agitators. On screen is a straight well-trained skirmish line of about 30 LEOs, and a dozen random people riding bikes and walking around.

Requiring polygraphs to prevent unclassified leaks is a sure sign of rampant corruption.

My investment guy says these are the times to buy. Why aren’t any of you listening to him?

I don't want to say the Schumer optics are bad but Gavin Newsom just invited him on his podcast.

Is Jack Smith indicted yet?

There is nothing the current President can say or do that will reduce his support from half the country. Nothing.

He begins his presidency by bitching.

Chuck Grassley seems pretty sharp and spry for 91. Of course he’s no Joe Biden…
