it’s all just a grift

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.” Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

ADHD waiting lists are often just spreadsheets. Literally. No severity rating. No link between Trusts. No shared database. A 21st century health system run on 1990s admin tools. Patients wait years while the data stays a mess. 📅 Part of ADHD Awareness Month. Day 9 of 31

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House. Not a single offer. Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

just watched a dozen people ask microsoft copilot experts their most pressing questions and those questions were 90% “how do i turn it off?” and “when i turn it off, is it really off or is it spying on me?”

It is interesting no one has any footage of the mayhem that’s engulfed Portland

Mike Johnson: “When the government subsidizes something, it means it’s not working.” Is he speaking about farmers, bankers, insurance companies, the Billionaires like Musk? No, just the everyday American that may need the ACA to live.

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

It’s a "crisis" when immigrants "take jobs away", but "innovation" when machines do. Funny.

Actually had to get out the tracing paper and pencil for a logo design today. Been a minute since I last had to do that.

This Reuters headline. Oof. Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

I'm on the slowest bus line in the city with the slowest buses in the nation to talk to New Yorkers about what it would mean for their lives if we made them fast and free.

So Pam Bondi acted like a little bitch Refused to answer any questions Insulted the Democratic Senators Performed like she was annoyed to even be there As soon as Congress comes back in session PLEASE someone draft a bill to impeach this cunt WE PAY HER SALARY SHE ANSWERS TO THE PPL NOT POTUS

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Anyone need a logo designed, comic book lettered, car washed, etc?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

A majority of Supreme Court justices seem to be leaning in favor of a Christian counselor who is challenging bans on LGBTQ+ “conversion therapy” for kids as a violation of her First Amendment rights.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Weird how they put all their efforts into using technology to replace human creativity and art and then say creative arts degrees are useless.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

I AM HUMBLY ASKING FOR YOUR VOTE TOMORROW 15 seconds explaining why you should vote for me tomorrow in the TN-7 Democratic Primary. I'm the only candidate who is not bankrolled or backed by corporate special interests, the only woman, and the only progressive. #LetsDoThis

Fuck this. This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well. To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is. Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

bingo

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

NEWSMAX: The Insurrection Act. Is that going to be formally invoked? TRUMP: If you take a look at what's been going on in Portland, it's been going on for a long time, that's insurrection

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

Seems like these Guard deployments are going to involve smaller and smaller delegations as word gets around nobody is getting paid for them until at some point it's just 15 diehards from Idaho on a Greyhound

The Broadview Police Department opened a criminal investigation against ICE for its attacks on civilians, including striking people with their cars, according to CBS news.
