🚨BREAKING: A federal judge Thursday froze President Donald Trump’s attempt to deploy hundreds of National Guard troops in and around Chicago, saying the president lacked the authority to do so. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

This is good, from Hakeem Jeffries. More of this please, in every conceivable forum: "Sycophants who aid and abet the President’s vengeful schemes will not be able to hide from the serious legal consequences of their behavior. They will be held accountable."

Chicago and Portland showing us how it’s DONE!!

Masked ICE agents are assaulting clergy members like Rev. David Black, a Presbyterian minister from Chicago, who was peacefully protesting in his hometown. All Americans, regardless of faith, should be disturbed by this.

From Just Jack: The difference between Canada and the US.

i’ll never get over this

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles. You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Thou shalt not shoot pastors in the head with smoke bombs. I shouldn’t have to say this.

Here’s a picture I took of a big ass bird taking off from the water.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @adamzyglis)

Just bone chilling. And when the imprisonment of critics is combined with his offer to enrich and immunize his loyalists, this is how democracies die fast. But it's still our choice. Don't let him silence you.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

Wow, that was quick! Dropboxes rule! Kudos to the Country Costa County Elections Board. #Election2025 #Yeson25 #ContraCostaCounty

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

I know this is all bullshit because I can’t buy war insurance for work travel to Chicago.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

DEVELOPING: Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster calls for the imprisonment of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor because they will not help him turn their home into a war zone.

Some cases take on outsized importance, with issues that transcend the decision the parties ask the courts to make. This is one of those cases. The stakes are high: the integrity of the Justice Department and the ability of a president to corrupt the rule of law. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song. But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California. DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states. We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Federal law prohibits ERs from treating people differently based on their ability to pay or citizenship status.

YES! MORE OF THIS! Thank you Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold from Oregon’s National Guard 🙏 Source: www.oregonlive.com/politics/202... #Oregon #Portland #50501Movement

NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

Canada vs. America

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

The "Antifa" everywhere stuff is really worse than McCarthyism. It's witch trial shit except they can't even find a judge to sanctify it.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

McGovern: Republicans love to advocate for more work requirements for poor people… Let's have a work requirement for Republicans to show up to congress and do your god damn job.

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

I continue to just respect the hell out of this guy

Pelosi says Democrats won’t abandon health care—despite GOP’s demands

want to close your Wells Fargo account because you want to punish them for siccing ICE on a building of impoverished immigrants that Wells Fargo execs wanted to foreclose and sell? here's how
