Fluke StarBucker (Chris Foreman)

Let's focus on Steven Millers slip up on CNN.
Who the hell does he think he is?

Plenary?Plenary authority?

No Steven Miller, Wrong again!!

No! You do not plenary authority to harm the American Public. It is cruel and illegal. You do not have the executive power to overthrow our own government

The counterterrorism experts have arrived at the White House..

I’m shocked.

Can’t believe I have to say this, but in Minnesota you will continue to have the freedom to get your COVID and flu shots.

The Slow Death Facing The Comey Prosecution This morning at 10 a.m., former FBI Director Jim Comey was arraigned in federal court.

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...

Rutgers Expert on Antifa Flees to Spain After Receiving Death Threats

"A rival petition began circulating Sunday, calling on the Rutgers chapter of TPUSA to be disbanded, accusing it of inciting violence. As of today, that petition had several hundred more signatures than the petition calling for Dr. Bray’s firing..."

This is all staged.

🚨There goes the last of Governor Pritzker’s fucks. 🪦
He took that threat of being arrested to heart… and the people of Chicago are marching in the streets because the Chicago mayor and their governor have their backs. ✊🏼

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

Piece is too long, and too much time on history rather than the present, but I got to the end and realized that actually that past was important. Just because our fascists tend towards sloppiness and weird shit, and lost, doesn't mean they haven't always been here, doesn't mean they aren't here now.

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

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.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Waiting on those $1000 tariff rebate checks. 🤡

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.

@WinterPolitics1 The Oregon national guard general says if the Oregon National guard were to be deployed they would be instructed under his leadership to protect the protesters not ICE. And a photo of the Oregon National Guard General

YES! MORE OF THIS! Thank you Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold from Oregon’s National Guard 🙏

Setting aside the absurdly xenophobic framing, once again, there is ZERO truth to any of this. Everyone qualifies for Emergency Medicaid equally. Hospitals do not receive more for treating undocumented immigrants in an emergency than Americans. Speaker Johnson is flatly wrong.

The most important political thread of our time.

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?

Michigan Avenue right now.

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."

“We’re going to hold them fairly to account, and by that we mean we’ll use the propaganda term they invented and not the legal name for the department. In short, MAGA.”

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

Chicago PD: arrest these motherfuckers threatening civilians. Put them in jail. Let the courts sort it out

Gov. Josh Shapiro: "I respect the Canadian people and Canada's sovereignty... When POTUS bullies Canada, threatens to make them the 51st state, belittles them, undermines their sovereignty, that undermines the interests of our farmers and the people who work in our factories."

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Jimmy Kimmel and the Power of Public Pressure | The Political Scene | The New Yorker | WNYC The Washington Roundtable discusses how, in the wake of the reinstatement of Jimmy Kimmel’s show, public resistance has a chance to turn the tide against autocratic impulses in today’...

I'm late to this -- came out a couple weeks ago -- sorry -- but this podcast episode is really worth listening to (despite the episode title, it's only incidentally about the Kimmel fiasco).

Highly recommended.
