Can we get some focus on the perfidy of Speaker Mike Johnson? So much of Trump’s excesses are made possible because Johnson has disabled the House as a check on the President. He has handed Trump his gavel symbolically and in reality. We need to focus on Trump’s enablers.

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

I had missed this post from Ed Whelan questioning whether Lindsey Halligan was even validly appointed in the first place. One minor point: Whelan says that the 1986 Alito memo "might not be in the public domain," but in fact it is, thanks to the Alina Habba litigation!

Millions of Americans marched against the US invading Iraq under the false pretence of weapons of mass destruction. How many Americans will march against the US invading itself under the false pretence of domestic terrorism?

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

There is absolutely zero need for this costly show of militarized force in Portland. 📌 Armored vehicles with federal agents arrived at the federal building in Portland.

They are so afraid of this they won’t seat a newly elected Congresswoman from AZ to keep it from happening.

apnews.com/article/trum... Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek responded by saying Trump is abusing his authority by ordering troops into a city that she said is doing “just fine” on its own. She was joined others who said soldiers are not needed and Trump is presenting a patently false picture of the city.

Too funny

Ladies and gentlemen, the meritocracy

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

I have been saying this for years. Media and most journalists are incahoots, fully complicit in this. Without such, No administration could do such shit. We would be seeing in full display the lunacy of each mad politician, and able to decide with full awareness! It's all just crazy fucking mad!

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Live from "war ravaged" Portland

Speaker Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the new House Member because she’ll be the 218th vote to force the release of the Epstein Files. He pretends to be a good Christian man while protecting violent child rapists.

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence... Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

Democrats should never vote to fund a government that's waging war on its own citizens and firing officials *because* they insist on following court orders instead of breaking the law. Let Senate Republicans nuke the filibuster. None of this is normal and it shouldn't be treated as such.

Trump is ordering the military to use “full force” against an American city, while the Supreme Court declares him the Sun King and Congress hides under a pile of coats. The checks and balances only work when the institutions aren’t run by utter cowards and the complicit

It’s funny because it isn’t 😕 🇺🇸

This is SO important, but gets lost in the chaos of the day… she was FIRED for following the LAW 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

Portland is one of the friendliest cities you'll ever visit. It's not "War ravaged" or "under siege" by anyone. FACTS.

👇👇

Without the depraved, untethered-from-reality brain of Trump, we wouldn’t know Portland is ravaged by war.

We currently have a Supreme Court that seriously claims (with no explanation) that the current occupant of the Presidency suffers irreparable harm by having to follow existing law, the constitutionality of which has never before been in doubt or even questioned.

I find this image as disturbing as 9/11 and J6 images. Really sick stuff.

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat who won her election in a landslide just so he can block a vote on the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

If we’re renaming departments and calling the DOD the “Department of War”, we might as well go ahead and make the DOJ the “Department of Revenge”

Fucking Mike Johnson is delaying the swearing in of the newly elected Democrat to House of Rep. A political fight brews around Adelita Grijalva's swearing-in to Congress www.yahoo.com/news/article...

No wonder the tippy top of the GOP wants to keep this a secret. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Concerning …

What the fuck?

He’s dumb and wildly inexperienced for this role. This is probably some kind of power move to show he’s the big boy boss and definitely not just some moron who Trump saw on the TV. Either that or he’s going to ask for loyalty oaths to Trump.

So, whole buncha generals and admirals with decades of combat experience are gonna get lectured by a FoxNews host on the “warrior ethos.”

Apropos of absolutely nothing, the United States didn't go to all of the trouble to propose, debate, enact, and ratify the 25th Amendment just for when presidents undergo anesthesia.

Things are starting to get more interesting. The Epstein estate has turned over another batch of materials to the House Oversight Committee more than 8,000 documents in total, including unredacted calendars, call logs, and cash ledgers.

Third batch of documents from Jeffrey Epstein Estate, includes Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Steve Bannon, and Prince Andrew.
