It appears that the federal agents occupying Portland have people embedded with them charged with the task of producing stories presenting the government’s version of events. Ironically, this was the sort of work JD Vance did in Iraq before he decided he was against that war.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

"One might think that if it’s all about esprit de corps, the easiest thing to do would be to notice that his secretary of defense has done more than any of his predecessors to damage the military’s esprit de corps, and tell him to stop." www.thebulwark.com/p/remember-t...

"A GOP-affiliated PAC is sending PA voters a mailer warning that the state Supreme Court 'gerrymandered our congressional districts to help Democrats win.' The issue? The pictured map was not drawn by the Court; it was drawn by legislative Republicans and thrown as an unconstitutional gerrymander."

For 26 but especially 2028 it's time for Democrats to make clear that the current Supreme Court will have to be reformed (expanded in number, reformed in structure) to allow popular govt to continue in the United States. Not so much a litmus test as precondition for any other promise to be credible.

Sinclair & Nexstar giving up also, the ice guy who manhandled the wife & threw her to the ground getting pulled from duty b/c of video, owner of the carwash where ICE attacked owner suing Trump admin for 50K, etc. Some things starting to cause glitches for Trump will hopefully give courage to more.

I don't know where people got the idea that there was no fighting back. Trump and his policies are wildly unpopular.

As Our Generals and Admirals Fly Home, Our Adversaries Watch and Wait open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

There are credible reports that federal agents may be replaying the 2020 playbook and surging into Portland with the goal of provoking conflict and violence in my hometown. I am in close contact with state and local officials to monitor this activity.

'Autocratic slide' Sounds like a good name for the stuff that's adding up

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Chris Murphy: "The question today is when is enough enough for Republicans. I was very glad to see Ted Cruz stand up and say what is simply true -- it is unconstitutional and deeply immoral for the president to jail or silence his political enemies."

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."
