He’s foaming at the mouth to go full Gestapo.

the people who told us to calm down because Roe was settled law are the same people now telling us to calm down because the military would never open fire on Americans

National Guard troops temporarily blocked from deploying to Portland, judge rules While the U.S. president is entitled to a great level of deference, the judge wrote, “ 'a great level of deference' is not equivalent to ignoring the facts on the ground.”

A federal judge in Portland just granted the State of Oregon & City of Portland’s request for a Temporary Restraining Order to block the Trump administration from sending the National Guard to Portland. That’s good news. Portland doesn’t need or want the military on our streets or in our communities

Federal agents shoot woman on Southwest Side, battle protesters for hours The shooting occurred Saturday in Brighton Park when federal patrols were "rammed by 10 cars," according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security, an account that has yet to be verified...

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.

Coverage for telemedicine has ended abruptly. For my patients and me, it’s a disaster Telemedicine is a core part of care delivery. But on Oct. 1, patients and doctors lost access to it across the U.S.

“This is not just an administrative headache. It puts patient care at risk in an already overburdened system. Medicine is complicated enough. We should not be leaving physicians and patients to guess whether a proven, widely used mode of care is legal, billable, or sustainable.”

The Cato institute being one of the heroes of our time may not have been on my bingo card, but boy have they stood up for what we used to call decent values.

History repeats.

We can fund health care and keep the government running, or we can shut everything down to raise prices on people.

To me, that’s a pretty easy choice.

The Vice President of the United States used his social media page to tell Joy Reid, a private citizen with no connection to the government, that she should express "gratitude" for how this country has treated her.

Black women remain the most consistent targets in all of this.

this was one of the shittiest weeks ever, so let’s just enjoy Fox News’ own dunk-tank clown, Piss-Drunk Pete Kegstand, flipping a skateboard into his own nuts, on live TV.

HOW CAN YOU RESIST WATCHING A VIDEO OF PLASTERED PETE KEGSTAND FLIPPING A SKATEBOARD INTO HIS OWN NUTS? I HAVE ALL THAT AND MORE IN "THIS WEEK IN STUPID," MY SATURDAY ROUND-UP OF THE DUMBEST FUCKING SHIT THAT HAPPENED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO PETE'S FLATTENED BALLS. LINK: bit.ly/3IG03R5

Raise your hand if you knew in your bones that when the SCOTUS ruled that racial profiling is OK now,

they meant to take away basic Constitutional due process rights from Black people. 🙋🏾‍♀️

Good stuff

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

The crazy thing is that we want affordable healthcare for them, too.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Did you know that your healthcare premiums are about to double because the GOP is intentionally sabotaging the Affordable Care Act and pretending that Democrats are trying to give undocumented immigrants free insurance?

IL Congressional candidate Kat Abughazaleh: "I think Kristi Noem should have consequences. I think she should be tried at The Hague."

Abughazaleh: I think Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague. And if the response from ICE to people exercising their first amendment right is to drive vehicles through them, they should not be an agency in the US.

Breaking on MSNBC:

An FBI agent in the Washington field office has been fired for refusing to arrest and perp walk James Comey.

This news was first reported by Reuters.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell

JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too

D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?

J: I didn't see it

D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

Today, Oct.2nd, is the anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi’s murder by Saudi agents.

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Last Week: "We control everything."

Today: "The shutdown was out of our control."

"In a world of Kristi Noems, be a Jane Goodall. She used binoculars to discover beauty in the world, not hunt down migrants." ~ Andy Borowitz

Pete Hegseth has challenged America’s generals to look more like him. Does that mean his Pentagon make-up room is now open for all?

Too much?
