New: Trump appointed federal judge blocks the president’s plan to deploy National Guard troops to Portland, cites possible violation of 10th amendment: www.cnn.com/2025/10/04/u...

Turns out the best way to make a deal to get out of your child sex trafficking conviction is to have one of your clients get elected president.

We’re so fucked.

People are dying

1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.

Under grilling by Jon Ossoff, Russ Vought repeatedly refuses to admit that it was a mistake to fire the federal employees who oversaw the safety of the nuclear stockpile (a mistake the administration acknowledged when they had to scramble to hire them back)

Trump First. Netanyahu Second. America Last.

Just when the paid MAGA shills got done cranking out 36 hours of posts to their divided cult that this was only about nukes and not regime change, Trump does it again …

Now that Noem, Blondi and Cocaine Kash have gotten rid of departments investigating and prosecuting foreign terrorist threats, how long before we get hit?

On Hannity tonight, Fox News’ National Security Correspondent Jennifer Griffin reports that it’s not clear whether the U.S. was able to destroy Iran’s nuclear site at Isfahan—despite Trump’s claim that all three sites have been “completely and totally obliterated.”

5 months in: Less than 2 months after “Taco,” 2 weeks after the world’s richest man called him a pedophile… 1 week after his failed military birthday parade & the No Kings protests… 24 hrs after he was finally ordered to free Mahmoud Khalil… …he’s bombing Iran. That’s how scared they are.

If China or Russia deported a US Citizen to a N Korean Gulag for life, without a trial or criminal charge, can you imagine. Yet here we are justifying to the whole world that we are a nation of law and order. We are barbarians. Third world or worse. DO NOT COME HERE. EVER. We are N Korea.

His name is Andry Hernandez Romero. He is a young professional from Venezuela. He is a makeup artist. He is a gay man. Andry was a target for abuse in his homeland of Venezuela. He was viciously humiliated daily — the victim of discrimination for his sexuality. He was also being persecuted for…

Hard to believe millions see this guy as a hero.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary. I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

If you're in Wisconsin, please know that Judge Susan Crawford will protect YOUR rights and freedoms. Find your polling place and make a plan to vote tomorrow: vote.wisdems.org

Make sure everyone in Wisconsin sees this

Imagine if the US and Russia had agreed on a full 30-day ceasefire and Ukraine had balked. If Zelensky had said “I’m only going to stop attacks on energy infrastructure and nothing else,” Trump would have had a fit. But when that’s Putin’s position, Trump pretends Russia wants peace.

Latino guy stops me at the light. Waves his fist in the air and says Go Trump. ( In Response to My Anti-Trump bumper sticker ). I said “you look Latino.” He said yes. I said “Trump hates brown people.” He said “ I’m not brown.” I said “Oh yes you are.” And I put up my window

I have a feeling that he is doing it because closing the government will last forever & the media will blame Democrats. The public will stop talking about Musk and concentrate on the shutdown. I don’t agree but I think this is why he’s doing it

Today Donald Trump attacked me by name in a speech at the Department of Justice. Of course I am worried, but courage comes from acting in spite of being worried. I have made my choice: I will continue to speak out, I will continue to litigate, I will continue to stand tall. I will never bow down.

Listen to Sheldon. @deanobeidallah.bsky.social

I’m a no on this bad “CR." R's left Dems no good road on government funding. They forced a choice between two bad MAGA options – both would harm the American people and give away the power of Congress to Trump. That danger is where our focus has to be.

Accurate.

Wow In DC, too many Dems are fretting and cowering - and getting bad advice from centrist orgs Maybe look outside the beltway for what's really happening
