Only to stick a knife in it

31 USC 1341 is clear.

Each employee of the United States Government... furloughed as a result of a covered lapse in appropriations shall be paid for the period of the lapse in appropriations.

"covered lapse in appropriations” means any lapse in appropriations that begins on or after Dec. 22, 2018.

Ellison's CBS brought on the two editors that got NYT to publish Tom Cotton's 2020 op-ed calling for soldiers to shoot protesters in the streets. Hard to find a clearer editorial throughline than "anyone protesting murder by the state should be killed for it."

"How does it feel to be an expert in a dying field?'

Current subscriber to this show. 0 stars out of 5 would not recommend, but can't figure out how to cancel.

OR GOP posts low-effort fake photo, badly merging old scenes from S America (!) claiming it's current Portland protests, and when called on it says "we're not reporters" and leaves the fake up

Basically like if in 1981 you told Cronkite and Rather their new boss was a William F Buckley intern from NR.

No, nothing that has been going on in Portland is an insurrection by any normally understood definition

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 2.3k).

A narrow majority says ICE is acting too forcefully - including a majority of Independents. The largest plurality doubt ICE is targeting serious criminals. Most think ICE is making at least some major errors.

Act accordingly.

Close enough?

Yes

One of the amazing things about this mission is that we took a piece of rock lost from Mars millions of years ago, found out of place on our Earth, and we BROUGHT IT HOME 🪨😊

An important and often misunderstood point here. DOJ OLC outranks the military JAGs in interpreting the law

This was the Chicago shooting, but I also hope there are some good continuously recording cams not owned by DHS that cover the protest area around Portland ICE.

They do have the Internet in Montana, right? We need to keep hearing from you

Ruse not rude

People like Rufo and Yarvin have said explicitly -- and rightly -- that academia would be naive and weak enough to fall for something like this. They told us it would be a rude with a goal of tearing it all down!

Space Force anti-Antifa laser satellites?

eg I like how Diplomacy is deterministic given what it's exercising but "oops your 1900 wx forecasting [sic] plus a gonorrhea outbreak means you lost despite the force advantage" is reality

It's like saying "LA County Sheriff Dept is Black Lives Matter"

Note the Admin and national influencers are entirely willing to throw Trump-voting local law enforcement under the bus and claim those cops are literally antifa, if that's what it takes to advance their narrative (and punish the local LE for not backing up the false claims about 'war ravaged')

Most Portland cops live in Clackamas Co. or across the river in Vancouver, something like less than 10% actually are Portland residents. In LA terms like cops living in Simi Valley, or in NYC on Staten Island. I.e., big antifa hangouts

"PORTLAND POLICE IS ANTIFA"

Anyone who is familiar with the Portland Police Bureau would be surprised to learn that Portland cops are woke antifa marxists.

More emblematic of PPB has been their senior guy (and high school classmate of mine) Krueger who built a shrine to Nazi SS officers

Nothing braver than speaking Truth to Power:

"The truth is... you're right about everything. Seriously, great ideas, you deserve everything you have. As a society we are lucky to have you as overlords."

Trump’s Outline of a Domestic War Former Undersecretary of Navy discusses import of President Trump's remarks to active duty military leaders at Quantico.

What was the real message at Quantico?

Janine Davidson (former Undersecretary of the Navy and former Chair of Department of Defense Policy Board) discusses:

The domestic paradigm shift in President Trump's addressing Active Duty military leaders with National Guard Adjunct Generals excluded.

And many aren't even busy this week 🙃

Seriously, read and follow @lindsaypcohn.bsky.social especially on these questions

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