Trumpโ€™s openly talking about invoking the Insurrection Act with zero insurrection in sight. Heโ€™s inventing chaos in Portland and Chicago, and even saying heโ€™d use it if courts or local officials are โ€˜holding us upโ€™.

Wild how he didnโ€™t bother using it during the actual insurrection on January 6.

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

A remarkably contemptuous performance by Pam Bondi in her first oversight hearing. Refused to answer everything, and when pushed responded w/ obviously pre-drafted insulting sound bites. Looking forward to discussing on @cnn with #EricaHill and #BorisSanchez at 3 PM ET.

Lawrence Oโ€™Donnell is right: the fight for Virginiaโ€™s future is the fight for Americaโ€™s future. The most important election this year is Abigail Spanberger for Governor. Power, rights, and democracy itself are on the lineโ€”letโ€™s raise hell and win. ๐Ÿ”ฅ #VoteVA

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Tomorrow the Epstein survivors will storm Capitol Hill to demand release of the files. I hope new Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is sworn in at their press conference by another judge or official who is authorized to do so (doesnโ€™t have to be the Speaker).

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: โ€œIf we donโ€™t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. Thatโ€™s painful and permanent.โ€

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

This photo of red troops from Texas invading Illinois over a fake emergency is raising some significant questions for those who watched the televised address Pete Kegstand gave to hundreds of generals, admirals and commanders recently, a speech that already lives in infamy as the "No Fatties Speech"

Alt text: A man in camouflage clothing and a face covering sits inside a gray Jeep, pointing a weapon out of the open driver-side window. The gun is aimed directly at the camera. The man wears gloves and a dark cap, and his eyes are visible above the mask. The vehicleโ€™s door and side mirror are wet with raindrops.

I was trying to watch this hearing but it's clear Bondi refuses to answer questions truthfully and is allowed by Chairman Grassley to be rude to the Senators who ask direct, concise questions. Thanks @thetnholler.bsky.social for keeping us informed.
