According to Oregon, Trump got the idea that Portland is on fire because Fox News illustrated a September 5 story on protests of ICE with video from the George Floyd riots in 2020. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Every airspace breach met not with deep strikes on enemy airfields but with a carefully worded condemnation delivers exactly what Moscow wants. 17 years of Western inaction created the vacuum that keeps pulling Russian aggression in. My latest for NY Post

“As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald. The Herald had obtained the names from two detainee rosters.” 9/16/25 Read more at: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Is Johnson just gonna ride it out at home until he shuts down the government and then blame that?

Far too convenient.

3/8: Real confidence doesn’t need to shout. It doesn’t need gold-plated buildings, fake bravado, or endless insults. It doesn’t tremble at the thought of someone else living differently.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

Taken just a few minutes ago outside the ICE facility in Portland that Trump claims is under siege. My message to Donald Trump is this: we don’t need you here. Stay the hell out of our city.

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

But Trump doesn’t want farmers earning their own money. He wants them simpering in gratitude for the welfare checks he signs.

Yeah the whole idea that we should engage earnestly with people who declare they are operating in bad faith is risible

You’d think journalists would relish the chance to expose that the president is lying his way to war… in Oregon.

For those wondering: Yes, this is possible, especially for an older couple in certain states.

I am one of those small business owners. An insurance advisor has already told me to prepare for premiums to *at minimum* double for 2026. I'm not sure we will be able to do that.

To get an idea of how much net ACA premiums will skyrocket for millions of Americans if Republicans & Trump refuse to keep the improved tax credits in place, pick a state from the drop-down menu: acasignups.net/ira-subsidy-...

“Dem. Grijalva won her special election to Congress on Tuesday. [Now] there will be … 218 people supporting a discharge petition that will mandate a vote in the House to release the Epstein files. [So] Trump has apparently directed his pet poodle Speaker Mike Johnson to delay swearing in Grijalva…”

Russia has refused meetings with Ukraine even with Trump’s participation, US Vice President JD Vance said. According to him, in recent weeks Moscow rejected both bilateral talks with Kyiv and trilateral meetings involving Trump or other US officials.

This tweet has been doing the rounds on Twitter now that Nathan Gill has pleaded guilty. If only someone had tried to investigate UKIP & Russian interference 🧐 There’s another timeline where the Guardian supported me, doubled down on the investigation & I look 5 years younger ..

one way you could describe lincoln's approach is of never getting ahead of the public on its attitudes, but holding an immovable set of principles on where the country ought to be and where he hopes to lead it

Echoing: this is a strong definition of leadership for a democracy.

As with his demands of Zelensky regarding Biden and DOJ with election fraud, it seems Trump just wants an announcement of alleged wrongdoing by Comey so that he can be portrayed as corrupt. Weakness of charges are irrelevant. When Comey is acquitted, Trump will blame the judge.

The worst hit in this video is the where a Border Patrol agent shoulder checks him out of nowhere. But in the interest of fairness, it is somewhat deceptive to start the clip with the takedown in the parking lot. One minute in, you can see the full context of him grappling with an agent before that.

Thought this might make you laugh.

COBB: There's a good chance because of the wholly unconstitutional, authoritarian way this was done that the case may get tossed well before trial BRENNAN: That's quite a description. You used to work for President Trump COBB: I don't have reasons to say anything other than balls and strikes

Strong statement from the FBI Agents Association these firings: "Leaders uphold the law — they don’t repeatedly break it. They respect due process, rather than hide from it.” www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

“And every time the West hesitates, the bluff gets harder to call. Russian jets didn’t bomb Tallinn; … drones … carried no payload … incursions over Denmark and near Alaska… And that’s exactly the point. Moscow is waging a different kind of war on the West. Not like the one it brought to Ukraine.”

A clear explanation: "further westward, Moscow’s goal isn’t to fight but to have us wake up one day to find NATO’s guarantees void, EU institutions ruined and transatlantic solidarity gone. No need for Ru to fire a shot if it can convince Europeans that defending themselves isn’t worth the effort."

You jest, but it's true. Trump not only led an insurrection and is actively violating the constitution, he also cut $500 million given to Christian charities and hospitals lol www.ncronline.org/news/exclusi... Every conservative accusation is always a confession, zero exceptions.

Ty Cobb: "The simple theme is rewriting history. Trump wants to rewrite history so the next generation may not know that he incited a violent insurrection... America needs to learn from the mistakes that we've had. And one of the biggest mistakes that America ever had was reelecting President Trump"

Amid an ongoing wave of conspiracy theories and bogus claims about Jan 6, I’ll note this from our reporting: Rioters made all kinds of claims and defenses in court … and jurors convicted 100% of the defendants who went to trial 100%

2020: Biden, 51.3% popular vote, 306 EV; Trump, 46.8%, 232 EV 2024: Trump, 49.7% popular vote, 312 EV; Harris, 48.2%, 226 EV

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Checking in from LA once again: yesterday ICE kidnapped at least 23 people & today they beat a patroller (US citizen, not that it should matter) unconscious, forcibly took her from the hospital, switched vehicles to confuse those following, & then released her out on the street.

This is depressingly common now. A lot of people have in absentia removal orders they don't know about. And now that the benefits office is becoming an arm of the mass deportation machine, so people are getting picked up in this situation -- and grace to give time to file a motion to reopen is gone.

My dearest wife, It is week two of the Siege of Portland, and still these barbarians will not yield to our troops. We have severed the cords of their latte machines but they are making cowboy coffee in their camps, where loud ukulele songs of resistance even now drift in on the breeze.

Trump posting an AI video of himself promising something that doesn’t exist should get the full failing Biden front page treatment but we know it won’t.

My office is reaching out to the White House and Homeland Security for more information. We have been provided no information on the reason or purpose of any military mission. There is no national security threat in Portland. Our communities are safe and calm.
