Really looking forward to the @jasonleopold.bsky.social FOIA for the staffer's notes who put this together, DURING a shutdown.

Not least bc (as @whitehouse.senate.gov noted), the Reid Hoffman slur was false.

Don’t think these Texas National Guard guys are going to be chasing any immigrants around Chicago on foot

A line of chubby national guardsmen in tactical gear stand in front of an official building. Opposed, a row of protestors hold fishing poles. Donuts are attached to the end of the fishing lines, which they use to taunt the guards.

Okay Chicago, here's the plan:

🏆

“Deploying the unit specifically trained to crush Chicago antipasto.”
“Antifa.”
“Uh, copy.”

I appreciate the Texas Guard for not challenging any of this former active duty Army guy's assumptions of what a guardsman looks like.

Trump in June 2023: “When I left, Venezuela was ready to collapse. We would have taken it over, we would have gotten all that oil.” (h/t @acyn.bsky.social) … 1/

Republicans post fake image of Oregon protest – using photos of South America A federal judge had blocked Trump’s request to deploy California national guard to Portland

My YouTube channel views the last two weeks have been off the charts. Everyone is tuning in to watch Russia collapse as a result of their fuel crisis.

This winter for Russia should be fun.

National Guard take down the Muffin Man.

Oh yes.

Believe me here, country people are thinking the same thing Zach Bryan is.

The footage of Bull Connor savaging kids hit the majority of Americans hard and changed the mood of the country.

That doesn’t mean that NOI tactics weren’t effective. But they were also peaceful - and presented as “respectable” persons in the white gaze. Brilliant. Like this:

And even if they didn’t, the majority of Americans would. Look at the polls.

It’s a good idea.

Hey, good for you, shooting down Gandhi - at long last. Watta hero.

Bull Connor didn’t give a damn about the optics of brutality, BUT AMERICANS DID.

THIS is human nature.

your opinion is poorly informed.

YouTube video by emptywheel How Kristi Noem is giving away $400K in "free" medical care

As right wingers make shit up about free medical care for "illegals," don't forget the medical care necessitated by Kristi Noem's goons.

Why isn't Pam Bondi releasing the Epstein Files?

Over 80% of Americans want them released. Its the only thing that a majority of this country agrees on.

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

Thanks, New Yorker

282 Ex DOJ officials open letter: “We believe it’s our duty to sound the alarm about this administration’s degradation of DoJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it”

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.
