A lie. The truth: A Cuomo win would amount to a Trump take over of NYC. He is the Trump candidate.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Sending the Texas National Guard to Illinois is a loyalty test.

They went.
They passed.

Legality doesn't matter.
Need doesn't matter.
Crime doesn't matter.
Humanity doesn't matter.
Logic doesn't matter.

Loyalty to DJT matters.
That is all.

It’s also important to flood social media with this jury nullification toolkit so that potential jurors (You?) read it before they become actual jurors.

This Is the Real Reason Trump's a Disaster Merchant Declare anyone you like a national security threat. In fact, declare everything a threat to national security that only can be addressed by Draconian measures.

Trump is like the kid in β€œThe Sixth Sense” except instead of seeing dead people everywhere, he sees national emergencies. But it’s not because he’s a hysteric. It’s part of the plan to be our king. My latest www.thedailybeast.com/this-is-the-...

Democrat accuses Mike Johnson of β€˜suspicious’ delay of swearing-in to avoid Epstein vote Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., told MSNBC she’s not a β€œconspiracy theorist” but said she couldn’t come up with another explanation for the delay.

Still waiting for Speaker Mike Johnson to allow the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, who was elected 2 weeks ago. Grijalva’s vote could pave the way for House action on releasing the Epstein files – which Johnson opposes. In his version of Christianity, they cover up for child sex predators.

Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

Sen. Mark Kelly: "Mike Johnson has to get Republicans back to Washington, D.C....He doesn't want to deal with this. He doesn't want to deal with Epstein issues. He doesn't want to swear in Adelita Grijalva...The Speaker of the House just doesn't want to do his job."

The court order blocking Trump from sending National Guard into Portland is great, in that this ruling emphasizes facts.

The Trump administration has claimed vast new powers, not by changing laws per se, but by making up new definitions for words, such as "invasion," then lying that law applies.

The Stunning Corruption In The White House It’s a feature of Trump.

The firehose of corruption makes the reality of it staggering. And that’s the point.

No shit I'm furious. I spent eleven years learning to write well about complex topics in ethical ways, often for criminally low rates, because I believe that work's important. It's deeply insulting to see a total dipshit get fabulously wealthy for telling the rich what they want to hear!

PDX, the regime is tweaking out over the fact that they can't get us to riot.

They are frantic to get us to do something to justify their extremism.
Do not give them what they want. They want to manufacture a war. Don't let them.

We have to power to deprive them. So deprive them.
