in the House, Speaker Mike Johnson has canceled votes for this week, telling his members they could stay home for the third straight week given the shutdown logjam. It's not the shutdown. It's the appointments and the subsequent vote on the Epstein files.

Judge Immergut has now granted a second Temporary Restraining Order (TRO), against the deployment of ANY National Guard (50 states + DC) to Oregon. This will also be appealed, like yesterday's. The facts on the ground continue to matter to these ongoing legal proceedings. 1/3

Every predator movie is about how the prey must turn the tables and become the hunter. In a time dominated by predators, there’s a lesson there.

ICE’s UNHINGED mass raid of the apt complex in Chicago, detaining CITIZENS incl children is UNLAWFUL & UNCONSTITUTIONAL: •1st, 4th, 5th, 10th, & 14th AM VIOLATIONS •Immigration and Nationality Act §287(a)(2) (8 U.S.C. §1357) Civil Rights Act, 42 U.S.C. §1983 / §1985 Spirit of Posse Comitatus 🆘🇺🇸

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy. Choose.

*Terrorist taking hostages FTFY

Trump is saying if Democrats don't bend the knee and let him take health care away from millions, he's just going to turn around and inflict pain by firing American workers and withholding funding from our communities. That’s not governing. That’s a wannabe king taking hostages.

We voted for Kamala & it did nothing. There is proof they rigged the election & we are doing nothing. In the short time this demon has been in office he has demanded gerrymandering & violations of the laws & constitution & we’ve done nothing. Out votes are worthless if we don’t stop this fascist

We the people, everyone of us have a job to do. It’s not somebody else, it’s you and all your neighbors. Engage now.

He and state chambers need to writ that any ISP officer who breaks from orders loses 100% of their pension. There should be ways to block the corrupt unions up front if you create ordinance in advance.

And any top brass who complain are the first to get the axe. Of course, those are things that are possible in a democracy and not an autocracy.

🧵 The idea of automatic prison time for flag burning, bypassing trial and constitutional protections, violates: First Amendment (free speech) Fifth and Sixth Amendments (due process and fair trial)

🧵 The Supreme Court ruled that flag burning is protected under the First Amendment It is not illegal to burn the flag in protest. Any law criminalizing it has been struck down as unconstitutional

Please be advised, the American President doesn’t legislate laws. This guy is a tyrant. Tyrants meet one end.

Rep. Jamie Raskin nails it. “It is not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not to swear in our new colleague Adelita Grijalva who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files. "So it’s convenient for them to shut the government down."

Congrats, Trump supporters, you’ve owned the Libs—and all it’s cost you is a functioning government, a working democracy, human rights, national peace, economic stability, inexpensive groceries, affordable healthcare, qualified leaders, and global standing. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/congratula...

Right, so if innocent everything would be out there. He knows he's guilty.#releasetheepsteinfiles

"EXCLUSIVE: Over 30 Human Rights Experts Demand UEFA Expel Israeli Soccer Teams" European soccer’s governing body reportedly paused a vote on suspending Israel after Trump released his 20-point 'peace plan' for Gaza, reports @premthakker.bsky.social

Warren Buffett for the win. Again.

Thursday 10/2 COTD The Hermit. The Star of David's light shines brightly on the truth in every situation. It is within the Hermit's lantern. May every hidden detail be illuminated by its brilliant light. Let's stay present and in the moment to receive the message of The Hermit.

BTW for maga, it was never about pedophiles. It was about hating fellow Americans and the pedophile charge was a convenient way to put a moral mask on that. The second Trump failed to release the files, because he’s in them, they defended him. Mask is off

"To my colleagues in mainstream media: your silence is complicity. Your 'boths-sides-ism' is complicty. Your euphemisms for genocide is complicity." From my speech accepting the 'Path of Truth' award from Palestinian diaspora group KTH. Full speech: zeteo.com/p/palestine-...

If you have ever heard a WWII vet talk about the German SS and why they shot them on the spot and didn't take those particular Nazis as prisoners, you know why We're preaching Revolution. The average American has no clue who these traitors are and the kind evil that lies within them. ICE = SS

It is likely because he is afraid too much pushback will get him dismissed and replaced with someone worse. I get the balance, but there needs to be more than performance and stern words

The people who’ve been calling you baby murderers your whole life want you to turn down the temperature.

I'm through with playing by the rules of someone else's game

Everyone who tried to block the release of the Epstein files needs to be charged for obstruction of justice.

Hertling: His comments about putting hands back on recruits… We moved away from that 30 years ago because it’s ineffective… You know where it didn’t go away? The Russian army.

🔥🔥🔥 @jasmineforus.bsky.social ALL DAY.

ME: "Jesus, why does your close friend Speaker Mike Johnson relentlessly bear false witness?" JESUS: "WHO???"

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Swear in Rep-elect Adelita Grijalva. Release the Epstein files. Expose and punish pedofiles.
