How it started.... How it's going .... 💪⚖️🗳️👻

RELEASE THE HOMAN FILES!

Remember: groveling to bullies never works.

BREAKING The Trump admin is using the government shutdown to try to pause Kilmar Abrego Garcia's habeas corpus case, which has a hearing scheduled next week. Abrego's lawyers oppose. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The government is shut down. For those just tuning in, here’s what happened:   1) We said we needed to help Americans pay their health insurance bills.   2) Republicans hated the idea and stonewalled us.   3) They shut down the government (which they control all chambers of) without negotiating.

In my view, that renders every member of the GOP ineligible to hold office in this country. But that’s just me.

There is not a single person who supports Team TACO, who also supports the Constitution of the United States. Team TACO is about complete power in the hands of one man. The Constitution was designed to avoid that. The two are incompatible and the GOP has chosen the former, NOT the latter.

Fighting for healthcare is the reason Ds are asking for negotiations. NO ONE IS ASKING FOR HEALTHCARE BENEFITS FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. Rs are lying about that. Health insurance costs for 22 million in limbo as shutdown begins - The Hill

Trump's whole excuse for not averting a shutdown by extending ACA subsidies is that "Democrats want to fund illegal immigrants' healthcare." But it's a lie! And they know it's a lie! But they can't let the rubes in the base know it's a lie because otherwise they'll lose their public justification.

On the final page, note how William Young identifies himself: “Judge of the United States.” Correct, and beautiful.

Yep. Part of why I've never feared "Trump's going to declare martial law!!" -- we have too much land and too many people relative to the theoretical occupying force bsky.app/profile/just...

Appreciate Aaron calling this out, and it's why I've been hammering this home at every event I’ve been speaking at. We need to be prepared for when Trump tries to break our democracy permanently.

Monarez: "Kennedy demanded 2 things of me that were were inconsistent w/ my oath of office. He directed me to commit in advance to approving every ACIP recommendation regardless of the scientific evidence. He also directed me to dismiss career officials responsible for vaccine policy without cause"

Russia has agreed to train a Chinese airborne battalion and supply equipment for a potential operation against Taiwan, reports The Washington Post citing leaked documents. Have you watched my interview with the Senior Nat Sec Advisor of Taiwan?

Donald Trump basically announces that he is declaring war on anyone he deems a Democrat... and one of the leading Democratic Senators, @blumenthal.senate.gov thinks now is the best time for a bipartisan censorship bill that will let MAGA define what content is allowed on the internet. WTF?

Republicans don’t need a single democratic vote to fund their regime. Here’s why. Please share widely.

Judge SLAMS the masking of federal agents in ruling finding Trump admin violated pro-Palestine protesters' rights: "To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I'm actually holding back tears here. There are still a few people in the United States government who understand the weight of their words and their actions.

To explain: At the start of his opinion, Judge Young includes an anonymous note received by his chambers, which reads “Trump has pardons and tanks..what do you have?” Responding to the note, Young says we have our “magnificent Constitution” and “here’s how that works out in a specific case —“

In a sane country with competent leadership, the 50 highest-ranking Democrats would call a press conference to denounce what just happened as a threat to the republic and demand Trump's immediate impeachment and removal from office. I don't know he could make his intentions more clear.

All that gold-plated, gawdy CRAP and he says he's aesthetic. What a FOOL!

Plainclothes Beaufort County Deputy brutalizes and threatens to kill 2 teens with his service weapon in Hilton Head, SC.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

And there it is. The culling will begin. You will support our white nationalist agenda for the military or you will be gone.

An absolutely BONKERS number of cancelations here. No wonder Disney put Jimmy Kimmel back on the air and strong-armed Sinclair and Nexstar.

After our intervention this morning in Pennsylvania and our new lawsuit tonight in Nevada, this is now 57 voting and election cases in 25 states. I am still expecting at least 4 more this week.

this is more or less what I expected

So…let me see if I have this right. The federal government is gonna shut down in 30hrs, and the party that controls the ENTIRE federal government is trying to blame the party that controls NONE of the federal government for the looming shutdown?

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry: "Tonight, we're sending the Department of War a request to send the National Guard, asking them to deploy the National Guard here in Louisiana into our cities like New Orleans and Baton Rogue and others."

Same as it ever was.

In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it? If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say? Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

Stephen Miller, a man no one elected, is behind the Venezuelan boat strikes which have killed 17 people. He should not be making military decisions. He should not be executing strikes that take lives. Only silver lining? He has no immunity. He can (and should) be prosecuted for his crimes.

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

A shutdown gives Trump a stage for firings. He could use furloughs as “proof” that jobs are unnecessary, revive Schedule F to strip protections, and push permanent cuts. Temporary pain, lasting damage. Mike Johnson knows this.

Yes, many questions. CNN reports that the military brass is very agitated because of the speed with which Heggie wants to do this. Power vacuum indeed. And sure, they're into manifest destiny. So I have no doubt any country in the hemisphere is on their radar.

Okay... That creates a massive power vacuum and every unstable country with an eye on somebody else's territory makes their move. Massive global war. What does the US military (which they will not decrease the size of) do? Attack its own citizens? Mexico? Canada? I have many questions.
