Oregon Governor Tina Kotek just took back control of the national guard.

She is sending the Oregon national Guard back home and is directing the California national guard to leave the State.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

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.

Trump administration closes criminal investigation into evangelical university The decision not to bring human trafficking charges against Olivet University allows a lawsuit involving the Southern California school to press forward.

Of course they closed the investigation. Thatโ€™s what they do!

They're going to let Trump invoke the Insurrection Act and declare Martial Law over blue cities before they remove him via the 25th Amendment.

Turley is so full of ๐Ÿ’ฉ, Iโ€™ll never forget his bogus opinions and lies.
Heโ€™s an enabler of our treasonous current president.
It is amazing how many have fallen for Trump. There will be a reckoning.

Oh look the party that screams โ€œfamily valuesโ€ every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But theyโ€™ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

Trumpโ€™s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Letโ€™s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

God, Greed and Groomers The party that preaches "family values" has become a sanctuary for pedophiles.

How do these men and women look their children in the eye. How do they hug their daughters knowing they are protecting men who raped girls their age?

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistโ€”Harmeet Dhillonโ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Itโ€™s of note that during tonightโ€™s hearing the DoJ didnโ€™t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.
