Because they knew if American voters had high prices they’d lose the election and an enemy of Ukraine would win. And they were right.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order

Chicago priest Father Michael Pfleger: "The state of emergency is in AMERICA, not Chicago. It's birthed from this president and his admin's reign of terror."

Supreme Court to decide if states may ban attempts to ‘convert’ gay and transgender youth | CNN Politics Matt Salmon remembers getting into a circle with the other teenagers in his group therapy session and shouting obscenities at a gay boy forced to stand in the middle.

In June, the Supreme Court said states can ban gender-affirming care.

So states should also be able to ban the flip side of that coin: conversion "therapy."

But this Supreme Court does not give a damn about consistency.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Glad to see the downward trend but these numbers are still ridiculous.

At what point does a governor call up their National Guard to oppose the deployment of an out-of-state National Guard?

Corruption in plain sight.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Harmeet Dhillon (DOJ) publicly targeted this judge on Twitter a couple weeks ago.

Choose your fighter:

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document what’s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

And very un-Christian of them.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Miller never should have been sane washed by the media after the first Trump term where he oversaw the separation of migrant children from their parents. He’s a creep.

More messaging like this please

Dems should refuse to cooperate in reopening the government until the full files are released.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Forged KGB Documents Used to Smear Journalist in Parliament | The Walrus Ex-MP Chris Alexander accused David Pugliese of being a Russian spy. Forensic experts now say the evidence was fabricated

It was the height of irony

At a meeting on Russian disinfo, a former cabinet minister accused a veteran journalist of being a spy

But the papers waved around as proof didn't say what was alleged

And now they appear to be forgeries

Court blocks Trump's effort to avoid prior injunction by sending out of state National Guard to invade Portland

BOOM 🔥:

Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

Violent thugs are terrorizing Americans and they were sent by the White House.

It was never about illegals, it’s about anyone not conforming to white nationalism.
Divided we stand United we scream into the abyss as the fucksickle running the country drives us into the ground

Trump’s hatred for renewables means the US is falling behind the rest of the world As well as embracing ‘beautiful coal’, the president has set about obliterating clean energy projects

Very clever lede/context for this great deep dive by @olliemilman.bsky.social on how Trump is making America the world loser on renewables.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids.

DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members.

Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.
