ICYMI — Trump lied that Chicago had “4000” murders, when it’s projected to have 380 this year (way down from last year)

If it’s so bad there why does he have to keep lying about it?

This is just so very, very illegal. And Republicans in Congress aren’t the least bit interested in controlling the purse. They’re just employees of trump org at taxpayer expense. This is a dictatorship.

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT

Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

“For more than 3 hours, officers can be seen walking past while he lay on the floor in his urine in obvious distress…noting he was foaming at the mouth & having seizure-like activity…mistaking his medical emergency for a drug overdose…”

Except a drug overdose is also a medical emergency...

Trump *wants* this.

I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

In any event, while decisions of the Ninth Circuit are "not binding" on this Court, Hays v. United States, 397 F.3d 564, 567 (7th Cir. 2005), and the Court frankly does not agree that "significantly impeded" is the same thing as "unable," the Court would still find that Plaintiffs are likely to succeed on the merits even were the Ninth Circuit standard applied. As discussed, there is evidence of protests, some of which have included acts of violence. There is also evidence of property destruction, and discrete groups who have attempted to impede DHS agents. At the same time, there is significant evidence that DHS has not been unable to carry out its mission. All federal facilities have remained open. To the extent there have been disruptions, they have been of limited duration and swiftly controlled by authorities. Pairing all this with evidence that federal immigration officials have seen huge increases in arrests and deportations, see Doc. 13 at 34-35; id. at 34 n.124, the Court concludes that even under the Ninth Circuit standard, the factual conditions necessary for President Trump to have properly invoked Section 12406(3) simply do not exist.

Judge Perry rejects the Trump admin’s proposed definition of “unable” as basically any interference with federal law enforcement, and say that even if she did, “the factual conditions necessary for President Trump to have properly invoked Section 12406(3) simply do not exist.”

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago.

She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

It’s tradition that when you see the frogs, you show them respect 🫡

(Someone should do the Creed cut with the footage)

I think I know why Republicans don’t give a shit about the ACA tax credits expiring.

Remember all that personal information DOGE stole last spring?

Pretty sure they know exactly who registered Democrats are in most states…

But also, $2/gal is $84/bbl.

So, energy up?

Definitely the latter. Sad.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…”

Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

George was just trying to get to work.

ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process.

This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

I found the war on Christianity

DoPS: Here are all the reasons this after-the-whistle play is unacceptable, avoidable, and has no place in the game.

Also DoPS: j/k, it wasn't that bad. Sit out a game and were good.

As always, Trump hates Americans.

Picture how big the Hoover Dam is. An absolute unit. The Hoover Dam has a power capacity of 2 gigawatts (GW).

The solar farm that the Admin just cancelled could have produces 6.2 GW of power. That's more than 3 Hoover Dams.

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

'When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,' the Norwegian Nobel Committee said as it announced Maria Corina Machado as the winner of the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize

Let’s ask the dead fishermen.

Who all had more hair than this dope.

Froggy went a-courtin’, he did ride
A grand jury said no charges against him they could decide
