I think even Marsha knows this.

Apart from helping Comey's selective prosecution defense, this also means the president of the United States uses direct messages on Truth Social to communicate with cabinet officials. I didn't know that, but we can be sure intelligence agencies all over the planet already did.

Giving a bunch of ignorant, hateful, easily threatened goons carte blanche to roam American cities and abuse unarmed citizens was always a horrible idea, but wait until their budget explodes when the Big Bullshit Bill kicks in and their ranks swell.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

if every democrat doesn’t use the “we took freedom of speech away” on every messaging apparatus they have every single day for the next 4 years assume they want to lose

Seriously, is this a trick? It’s everyday now.

Snipers on the roof‼️ The military on the streets‼️ ICE wearing face masks‼️ America, the land of the unfree, home of the weak‼️ Under siege‼️ #cdnpoli

GOV. PRITZKER: “This is a convicted felon threatening to jail me? He’s an unhinged, insecure wannabe dictator. Come and get me.”

So anyway, here we are

Good lord. @apnews.com

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

I’m shocked.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Update from the war zone in Portland.

Attempts to deploy federalized National Guardsmen to Oregon, California, & Illinois, also, signs that Trump, or at least someone around him, is starting to think seriously about the Insurrection Act. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him. Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

WTF! Go figure...... Leavitt: "You guys are framing this like the president wants to take over American cities with the military." #cdnpoli

Every LIBERAL. Every NDP. Every Bloc. Elizabeth May. All rightfully voted against an authoritarian motion that violates so much Charter rights it’s an abomination. Never forget this. If the CPC gets power, we’re in big trouble. #cdnpoli

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

It’s become pretty clear at this point that the Poilievre blueprint for Canada— pushed even harder by Jivani and Kuruc, is the carbon copy of “Project 2025” in the USA we’re seeing under the GOP and Trump. That’s Canada’s future if we aren’t careful. #cdnpoli #uspoli

JB Pritzker responding to Kristi Noem: “She says that people are clapping. They're not. They're booing her on the street and they're booing ICE and CBP.”

My 80yo father’s take on the current state of politics: “Seems to me like it’s just a bunch of white supremacists run amok.” The man has a way of getting right to the point.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

Add to the mix, 400 Texas National Guard members have now been mobilized to go to Portland, Chicago, and cities “where needed.”

Late tonight, a federal judge issued a sweeping new order prohibiting the president from deploying any National Guard forces—from any state or DC—to Oregon. The president cannot keep playing whack-a-mole with different states’ Guard units to get around court orders and the rule of law.
