Greg Abbott Declares Civil War On Blue States At The Behest Of Trump Texas governor authorizes Trump to deploy 400 Guard troops into Illinois and beyond, without state consent, without precedent, and without shame.

Gregg Abbott Declared War On Illinois

When a state’s army marches into another state, uninvited, armed, and there to harm, what do you call that?

A military occupation? A violation of state sovereignty? A Civil War?

An Armed Invasion?

Time to send the Illinois National Guard into Texas?

Wild stuff — nuking a portion of your website because MAGA got mad at you for it.

Joseph Barranco posted on social media: Go Bears! Nobel Prize in Physics goes to 3 physicists studying mesoscopic quantum phenomena... Work was done in the 1980s in UC Berkeley Professor John Clarke's lab with his graduate student John Martinis and postdoctoral fellow Michel Devoret... all 3 share the Nobel Prize. Must also point out that both Clarke and Devoret are immigrants from the UK and France, respectively. All 3 are pioneers in the race to build the most powerful quantum supercomputers. California *public* education made this happen. Immigration made this happen.

Valuable info about the Physics Nobel Prize today from Prof. Joseph Barranco at SFSU on Martinis and Devoret being a grad student and postdoc in Clarke's lab at UC Berkeley & Clark and Devoret being immigrants. "California *public* education made this happen. Immigration made this happen." ⚛️

UK steel set for further hit as EU to double tariffs Losing access to the EU market, the largest destination for UK steel exports, would have a "catastrophic" impact on jobs, a key union said.

Is that another Brexit benefit?
No, quite the opposite.

ELWOOD, Ill. (AP) — Texas National Guard troops have arrived at an Army Reserve center south of Chicago ahead of expected deployment.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Another tragic accident.

US Supreme Court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell appeal of conviction in Epstein sex trafficking case WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The U.S. Supreme Court declined on Monday to hear Ghislaine Maxwell's bid to overturn her conviction for helping the late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls, steering clear of a case that continues to hound President Donald Trump and his administration. The justices turned away an appeal by Maxwell, a British socialite and Epstein's former girlfriend who is servinga 20-year prison sentence after being found guilty in 2021 by a jury in New York on charges including sex trafficking of a minor. By doing so, the justices let stand a lower court's decision upholding Maxwell's conviction.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

After the Portland ruling, Illinois is now taking action. The state filed a lawsuit today seeking to block the Trump administration from deploying federalized National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago.

Leavitt: "The government is not receiving any cash"

Turning the military on citizens.

Attempting to rig elections.

Toying with the idea of declaring martial law.

Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out.

If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

Greta Thunberg “I'm not scared of Israel. I’m scared of a world that has seemingly lost all sense of humanity.”

Stand with Greta, stand with humanity.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson issues an executive order
prohibiting ICE from using any city-owned property

Back then, I still thought Greta Thunberg was great . . .

California is the manufacturing capital of America, period.

We create more jobs, produce more goods, and drive more innovation than anywhere else in the country — because what gets built in California shapes the future and powers the U.S. economy.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson:

"Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Trump's invasion This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.

"Simply put, one state cannot invade another. This is something so central to American democracy that you don’t even need some sort of legal explanation as to the underpinnings."

The Supreme Court has rejected Laura Loomer's bid to sue social media for banning her.

AOC Just mocked Trump’s ignorant attempts at fascism.

Top prosecutor is rejecting Trump pressure to charge New York AG A key federal prosecutor in Virginia, where James Comey was indicted, is resisting bringing charges against Letitia James.

NEW: A federal prosecutor in the EDVA has found NO probable cause to indict NYAG Leticia James despite intense pressure from the Trump administration to do so. How long before she’s fired? www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

We can’t out-Republican Republicans, nor should we want to.

Democrats need to say what they believe — and actually believe in something.

As Sukkot begins this evening, I know last week's horrendous terrorist attack will be casting a shadow over what should be a time a celebration.

I hope that Jewish families have the opportunity to come together in peace and safety to mark this holiday.
