AG Bondi, here’s that correction you requested.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

He's absolutely correct. This is not a both sides thing, this is a right wing domestic terrorism inspired and encouraged by the leader of the republican party and amplified by all of its members thing.

Their "loophole" is claiming it needs to be part of the funding bill explicitly, which means Mike Johnson can guarantee the shutdown backpay if he wishes. If those workers don't get paid it's 100% on the GOP.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

Really not arguing but a sincere question: IYO do we get Trump without Reagan? Specifically I'm thinking of Iran-Contra and how it ended without real consequences at the highest level.

When Johnson says "honestly" you know the lies are really going to be unhinged.

I do not understand why television stations are not showing live coverage of how there is literally nothing happening in Portland and Chicago. I mean, Peter Jennings, Dan Rather, and Tom Brokaw would each be sitting on a set in those cities telling everyone the white house is lying.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

Sounds like someone got him with a deep fake.

One guest, a retired major general, was asked about Hegseth's dismissal of the rules of engagement. He answered: "The words the president and secretary of defense are those of potential war criminals."

"It cannot be the case that DHS officers are given carte blanche" to respond to protests with whatever force they deem necessary, Ellis says.

Ellis says that based on available evidence, it's possible that plaintiffs could show 1A and 4A violations by DHS.

DOJ argues about ICE officers being doxxed.

Ellis responds at length, discussing doxxing and threats faced by judges and acknowledging how horrible it is, but says "that doesn't mean that you then get to do this job and be anonymous. ... Under the rule of law, it is important to be transparent."

Stephen Miller is trying to sell this, which means Stephen miller has someone he needs to sell this to.

Immergut: I'm handling this on expedited basis, but defendants haven't provided new info.

SHE RULES FROM THE BENCH: I grant the plaintiffs motion for a second TRO based on reasons stated in previous order...

And does it over and over 🤔

DOJ: President determined in June that CA NG had to be federalized, and ...

Judge: Mr. Hamilton, Mr. Hamilton, if it were the case that you could federalize NG in one place and simply send to another place where pres doesn't have authority to federalize NG, what would purpose of 12406 be?

The guy who wants the Nobel Peace Prize thinks we should commit more war crimes, that should convince the committee!

(2/2) No doubt history will speak to the MAGA cult; how easily they were gaslit; embraced the most flawed cult leader ever; rallied around grievance; railed against their own interest; fell for an obvious con. But the unforeseen disaster - the biggie - is the media's wide normalization of a madman.

Trump: "Portland is burning to the ground. You have agitators, insurrectionists... The governor, the mayor, the politicians are petrified for their lives."*

*Not a single word of this is true.

MORE: Immergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule.

Finally, the President’s own statements regarding the deployment of federalized National Guardsmen further support that his determination was not “conceived in good faith” or “in the face of the emergency and directly related to the quelling of the disorder or the prevention of its continuance.” Newsom II, 141 F.4th at 1051 (emphasis in original) (quoting Sterling, 287 U.S. at 399–400). Despite the “minimal activity” outside the Portland ICE facility in the days preceding September 27, 2025, Hughes Decl., Ex. 22, ECF 46-22 to Ex. 26, ECF 46-26, President Trump directed Secretary Hegseth “to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland, and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.” Marshall Decl., Ex. 12, ECF 9-12. Two days before that directive, the President claimed that Portland has “professional agitators” who are “paid a lot of money by rich people,” “anarchists,” and “crazy people” who try to “burn down buildings, including federal buildings.” See Marshall Decl., ECF 9 ¶ 26. Whatever the factual basis the President may have for these allegations, nothing in the record suggests that anything of this sort was occurring “every night” outside the Portland ICE building or in the City of Portland in the days or weeks leading up to his September 27 directive. Id.

Held: Trump's statements about Portland were "not 'conceived in good faith."

Chides defendants for "ignoring the facts on the ground."

this is also white nationalist framing straight from the Jim Crow era, as if Joy Reid citizenship is a gift from Vance, whose belonging is of course unquestioned

it’s what @profkori.bsky.social would call “know your place aggression”

If they drop the word blue they have the right headline.

You.
Are.
Allowed.
To.
Insult.
The.
Police.

It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences.

That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras.

Rightly confident in his impunity.

People in right wing bubbles tell each other recurring stories over and over and stick their fingers in their ears when confronted with contradictory evidence. And they look to each other for validation.
