Tepid Lethality

If you believe there’s crime in DC, Portland, or Chicago that warrants federal forces, you’re a fucking idiot.

Ah yes, the man who wrote a book on the “unfortunate consequences” of the Civil Rights act is here to (quite turgidly) defend Hegseth’s anxiety-riddled bigotry.

And, despite having never served has thoughts about unit cohesion.

THEY BREAK UPON US

THEY BREAK UPON US

i love this fucking city, i have been here ten years and if i am lucky, i will get at least another ten or twenty, but, today, this city made a fucking fool of the entire department of homeland security.

we are going to beat these people, eventually, and we are going to make a better world out of it.

David Frum, Douglas Murray Secretly Drafted Speeches for Israeli Ambassador Leaked emails from former Israeli UN Ambassador Ron Prosor show David Frum, Douglas Murray offering to write his speeches and a CNN producer fundraising for Israel’s Iron Dome during Israel’s 2014 war

Fascinating report just released by DropSite which reveals that David Frum, while working on a profile of an Israeli ambassador to the United Nations for the Atlantic, was also shadow-writing speeches for that same ambassador.

lmao, kristi noem wanted a black bloc fight and got an inflatable rave instead. fuck you DHS, rip city forever.

Mon Mothma you have to stop. your drip too tough. Your swag too different. They’ll kill you

Trump: U.S. Code. Those provisions authorize the President, when faced with such unlawful obstructions against the authority of the United States as existed in Alabama, to "call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary" (10 U.S.C. § 332) and to use "the militia or the armed forces, or both, or • other means" (10 U.S.C. $ 333). The militia of the United States includes the national guard, meaning the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard of the several states. 10 U.S.C. § 311 and $ 101 (9), (10), (12) . In furtherance of the President's order the Secretary of Defense immediately called into active military service all of the units and members of the Army National Guard and Air National Guard of the State of Alabama to serve in the active military service of the United States for an indefinite period and until relieved by appropriate orders. This call was transmitted by the Secretary of the Army, acting by direction of, and under delegation of authority from, the Secretary of Defense. Copies of the Department of the Army message (No. D.A. 340638, June 11, 1963) were furnished immediately to the Governor of Alabama and to the commanding officers of the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard of the State of Alabama. It is apparent that the Alabama National Guard was properly called into federal service pursuant to 10 U.S.C. §5 332-4, and in accordance with the procedure provided in those sections. Since the call to federal service did not invoke the authority of 10 U.S.C. $ 3500, referred to by Mr. Bowen, the procedure prescribed by that section was not used. I trust that the foregoing information will be of assistance to you. Sincerely, ¡enera. 299 ReTruths 819 Likes 10/7/25,

Trump just posted what looks like an old DOJ memo about President Kennedy’s use of the National Guard in Alabama to desegregate schools in 1963.

It’s a gross comparison, given the fact that Trump is basically George Wallace and he wants to use the Guard to invade cities, not advance civil rights.

grateful to hear him say this out loud — too few institutions have this decency and courage

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

A resident of a nearby building asks a very important question:

“You claim you have warrants, but do you have a warrant to seize the entire building?” she asked the agents. “Do you have warrants to detain the entire building?”

Or: do people lose their rights if they live near undocumented people?

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

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.

“Separating them by race”

We’ve all heard of Kavanaugh stops by now, is this a Kavanaugh raid? Attack?

Bondi senate hearing had a folder full of notes for attacking the senators

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Here’s video of the incident

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

Expand it to 60 justices.

Move it to a strip mall in rural Kansas.

Cut the clerk budget to zero.

Critics of Trump’s immigration crackdown are using the term ‘Kavanaugh stop.’ Here’s what it means. - The Boston Globe The phrase, is "a window into where [the administration] can go next," some advocates say.

They said on-line isn’t real life, and Bluesky is a niche social media site.

But here is @akalhan.bsky.social getting “Kavanaugh Stops” into the Boston Globe!

With a pic of Kav looking a little petulant too (but then when doesn’t he?).

Glad to see this is sticking to him.

Josh Hawley and Yale Law School, ladies and gentlemen.

And... what would you say... *constitutes* this tradition he's bucking? What exactly is it *constituted* of?

He is the speaker of the House. Johnson can gavel the House in anytime he pleases. That's kind of the point of being speaker.

I've been banging this drum for the past four months or so: DOGE and Russ Vought broke the appropriations process. What's the point of going through the arduous process of crafting 12 spending bills, clearing them through committee and getting them through two chambers if Trump does rescissions?

Just the end of the entire idea of Tom Cole.

This is my favorite part: Tom Cole and Susan Collins spent decades waiting to lead the Appropriations Committees in the House and Senate, respectively, only for Trump to render the committees absolutely useless.

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.
