The crash is coming. Brace yourselves.

Bondi was supposed to appear before the Judiciary Committee tomorrow (Tuesday) to answer about Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. But Mike Johnson has conveniently kept the House in recess another week to ensure her appearance would be postponed. The govt isn't the only thing they are shutting down.

Imma scream

Not only can states prosecute felonious federal officials, it is a tactic that has been championed by some on the right, as I discuss here.

Not one of these Instagram advertisers donates any of its proceeds to the cause it claims to support

Illinois asserts an equal sovereignty argument in the state's lawsuit over the deployment of federalized National Guard: "Defendants have trampled these principles by selecting certain politically disfavored jurisdictions – including Chicago and Illinois – for an involuntary [Guard] deployment..."

#BREAKING The state of Illinois has sued the Trump administration in federal court, seeking to block the deployment of National Guard troops into the state over the objection of @govpritzker.illinois.gov Story to come. Full complaint here: cst.brightspotcdn.com/40/6a/75ba4a...

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

Reminder to the Supreme Court as they start a new term: Presidents are not kings and should not be treated as such

Whether you like it or not, this is our painful truth in America.

BREAKING: #SCOTUS denies review of Ghislaine Maxwell's convictions for sex trafficking involving Jeffrey Epstein. No dissent or explanation.

Why was this ignored by the press corps? @froomkin.bsky.social: "I’ll tell you why: Because it raises all sort of questions about his mental functioning and agency that the access-dependent Washington press corps would rather not acknowledge. presswatchers.org/2025/09/trum...

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

“We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion,” Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois

Did Texas just declare war on Illinois?

Abbott's opposition may want to point out that Illinois just had first responders on the ground assisting Texans during the catastrophic summer floods. @betoorourke.bsky.social

It will be extremely difficult for republicans to win reelection after doing this.

#MorningVibe Last month, workers painted over the rainbow-colored crosswalk outside the LGBTQ Pulse nightclub in Orlando. Se7en Bites owner Trina Gregory said "If they want to erase symbols of pride and acceptance, then we'll create even more of them" #ArtAsActivism

It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

The trickle ain't tricklin' 😒

Republicans should note. Governor Greg Abbott of Texas and Senator Mike Lee of Utah have endorsed Federal Occupation of States. These are both elected officials speaking on behalf of Texas and Utah. Valuable information! Please share! #Utah #Texas #FederalOccupation

Look. Invading our own country is about as straightforward a case as you can have for impeachment. The GOP abandoning the Constitution is kind of the only story there is and it gets no coverage.

"The hundreds of billions of dollars companies are investing in AI now account for an astonishing 40 per cent share of US GDP growth this year... In a way, then, America has become one big bet on AI."

If I were starting a civil war, I would send National Guard troops from one state to another.

Hundreds of millions in taxpayer dollars have been spent on body cameras, sold as a revolution in transparency and accountability. Instead, police departments routinely refuse to release footage — even when officers kill. (Published 2023 by @ericumansky.bsky.social & @farooqumar.bsky.social)

Putin has too many sex tapes. Might even have the Epstein files. We are being fucked in order to hide Pedophiles.

Immergut: What I'll do is not modify my original TRO but issue a new TRO that prohibits the relocation or deployment of any federalized national guard to the state of Oregon....

ICYMI — “Mundo Mendoza” was on again with Jesse Watters last week… but now he’s a former member of Antifa 🤣

This still feels strange. Drugs have always been approved on the initiative of drug companies. Here, the FDA is saying *it* initiated the approval. It's as if Makary did this to placate RFK Jr and his odd beliefs about autism. @akesselheim.bsky.social

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Now we know what Trump told Putin in Anchorage.

Kamala said he'd try to use the military against the US population. News outlets called her "hysterical".

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Last week, one of Trump's senior DOJ appointees strongly attacked a South Carolina's judge's voting rights decision. Today her house was burned to the ground by suspected arsonists.

Gov Newsom and I are joining AG Rayfield’s lawsuit to block the unlawful deployment of the California National Guard to Oregon. Time and time again, President Trump has shown a clear disregard for the law and the facts on the ground in his efforts to militarize American cities.

“What was unlawful with the Oregon National Guard is unlawful with the California National Guard,” Attorney General Dan Rayfield said… www.cnn.com/2025/10/05/u...

Isn’t this where the military tells Trump “NO!” Trump sends troops from California to Portland after court denies deployment www.msn.com/en-us/news/n...

The government does not have the power to declare “free speech zones.” And the violent arrest of the rabbi should set off some alarm bells.
