You shouldn’t be charged more based on who you are ACTION: Let's ban surveillance pricing!

Imagine being charged more for an airline ticket to a family member’s funeral just because you searched for their obituary online. Or paying hundreds extra for a hotel room because you looked it up on a pricer iPhone or Mac computer. This is happening now...

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Immergut: The question is the scope. I see the defendants' conduct as being in direct contravention of the court's order issued yesterday....I am troubled by the defendant's conduct, but have some concern about the breadth of the alternative relief requested during tonight's hearing

Dude, the mandate has been revoked. People fucking hate you. Your guy is more unpopular than Biden when he got out of the race last year. They’ve rejected every part of your agenda. You’ve been losing elections all across the country this year. You’ve lost your mind. Stand down.

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Lucky America. The self-proclaimed party of farmers just gutted food aid. Half a billion dollars in eggs, milk, and meat gone. Trump’s Republican economy feeds the rich and starves the land that feeds us. Read it. ProPublica did the math.

After a 2nd infection:
⚠️ 3x risk of myocarditis
⚠️ 2x risk of blood clots
Plus pain, fatigue, headaches, irregular heartbeats & kidney damage.

Understand that the Reichstag Fireβ€”the faked emergency Hitler used to seize powerβ€”is happening right now in America.

Trump and his goons are lying about crime and who they are arresting to provoke the violence they will justify martial law with.

It's the fascists' final maneuver to end democracy.

It was a beautiful Sunday in Portland. Farmer’s markets, the Portland Marathon, peaceful protests, and some views of Mt. Hood. This city is vibrant, peaceful, and resilient. We do not need a federal occupation, and we sure as hell don’t want one.

This is a breathtaking abuse of the law and power by the President of the United States.

America is on the brink of martial law.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistβ€”Harmeet Dhillonβ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

BREAKING: β€œWhat was unlawful yesterday is unlawful today.”

Trump ordered California Guard troops to Portland after a judge blocked his use of Oregon’s.
States say it’s illegal circumvention β€” and they’re suing.

Rising This Week: 'Constitutional law, not martial law' Kilmar Abrego Garcia has a habeas corpus hearing on Monday. James Comey's arraignment is on Thursday, and Trump's troop gambits remain ongoing.

Trump tried to end-run a federal judge's ruling blocking the deployment of the Oregon National Guard by sending the *California* National Guard to Portland.

A hearing will begin imminently for a judge to decide whether to block him again.
