No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Perhaps you’ve noticed; the more immigrants they detain and deport…the more violent the United States is becoming. I see a clear connection.

Make America Great Again… GTF Out!

"Trump is dangerously and perversely fusing the roles of the US military and domestic agencies. What we are seeing is the worst of both worlds: domestic agents adopting military tactics, and the military itself being drawn into domestic political conflicts." www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/federalism...

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.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio insisted “no one has died” as a result of U.S. foreign aid cuts. In Myanmar, the grieving father of a 2-year-old boy who died after their food rations were cut calls such claims a lie.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

We have criminals with badges. It's a matter of time for a civil war to break out.

Did Tom Homan keep the $50,000? Pam Bondi may be covering up the facts. This is more corruption that costs taxpayers money, while the politically connected get away with crimes.

Ken Paxton’s top secret undercover operation 🤣🤣

I’m shocked.

Thou shalt put all these war criminals on trial at the Hague.

📌 Pam Bondi in the hot seat🐥

Hirono: "I have to conclude that, since no wrongdoing was determined, that Homan kept the money. And I hope he will put that on his tax returns as income."

🚨🚨🚨 SCOTUS must protect James @Comey from being politically prosecuted via Trump's radical ABUSE OF POWER. This evil scumbag must be removed from office immediately. WE ARE NOT SAFE! 2547

Gotta love New Yorkers! 🇺🇸📜🇺🇸📜🇺🇸📜🇺🇸📜🇺🇸📜🇺🇸

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

Oregon’s National Guard General: They’ll defend America and protect protesters. That’s leadership we need more of. 🇺🇸

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

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.

Either you're against fascism, or you're foolish enough to believe it won't come for you.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Thanks, New Yorker

From the front lines of the Portland War Zone.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

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. 🧵

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

We are in a health care crisis. Democrats want to fix it. Republicans refuse to even talk about it.

I’m. So. Tired. I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

The CBS takeover by Larry Ellison and Bari Weiss is the most foreboding move in a while, and I’m not saying that lightly. It will have an effect on the 2026 elections: CBS will now lie to people and normies will believe it.

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

I begged @spiegel.de to translate Jörg Schindler's excellent reporting on America's fall into theocracy and they did. As I keep saying, German journalists are doing a better job covering America's fall than American journalists. 1/ www.spiegel.de/internationa...
