DEVELOPING: Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster calls for the imprisonment of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor because they will not help him turn their home into a war zone.

So the people causing the shutdown are getting paid. The people keeping the country running don’t.

And Speaker Mike Johnson won’t let the House come back to work. So basically they’re on a paid vacation while Americans miss paychecks.

Did I get that right?

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

RFK's conspiracy theories will make America sick, especially children. Ignoring science is a death knell for unsuspecting Americans. #resist wapo.st/3J3MR8F

It's beyond time to call the President's intent to wage a "war from within" what it is: Treason.

Memo to America: Just Say No By William S. Becker

The military, governors, and voters are the last lines of defense against Donald Trump's authoritarianism. When he bullies them, they should just say no. I discuss this at the-real-biocene.net/f/memo-to-am...

Spot on.

White House official inadvertently reveals plans to send elite army unit to Portland Anthony Salisbury displayed chat about deployment of 82nd airborne division on cellphone while in Minnesota

Oh look, another White House Signal scandal.

This time it was an aide to Stephen Miller who was using Signal so openly in a public space that a bystander captured images of the chat.

Oh and the messages were about sending the *82nd Airborne* into Portland.

This shit is dystopian. Blackhawk helicopters, zip-tied kids, and racial segregation vans.

ICE is terrorizing communities.

Trump No Longer Denies Project 2025 Trump swore he had nothing to do with Project 2025. Yesterday, his Truth Social rant proved he not only knew its architects; he hired them to dismantle democracy.

Project 2025’s playbook is the operating manual for this authoritarian regime. Trump lied about it to get elected. He’s not just dismantling our democracy. He’s doing it with cruelty and glee. #resist open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

An Autocracy of Dunces How stone-faced generals, Wall Street pushback, and a government shutdown may save America’s quickly declining democracy

"In a perverse way, we can be grateful that Trump and his minions are so incompetent, because that is forcing the dormant parts of our country to push back"

Felon & his posse of evil clowns are...not smart

Maybe their dumbassery will trip them up?🤞(That, & the continued #resistance by all who can)

It seems pointless even to say this, but the Fourth Amendment does not permit federal agents to kick down every door in an apartment building just because *some* people in that building are allegedly undocumented. Even in the unlikely event they had a warrant, warrants have to be specific.

Jane is a global hero. In my reporting career, I interviewed Jane and met her chimps. It was an inspiring experience. Her authenticity, courage, and values touched millions. My heart mourns for the passing of so much wisdom. 💔

Priorities.

Heartbreaking. I interviewed Jane and “met” her chimps in Tanzania in my former life as a reporter. Jane inspired the world with her authenticity and environmental values. She was everyone’s hero.

Trump's Shutdown Is Already Backfiring on Him When the Trump shuts down the government, he laughs in your face. Americans are taking notice.

The cruelty & hypocrisy of this regime is startling. The 25th Amendment would make sense, if only the cabinet & Congress represented patriotic Americans who believed in our Constitutional values #resist open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Veterans react to Hegseth’s ‘insulting’ address to generals and admirals Defense secretary’s speech touching on physical fitness and doctrine of lethality was seen as ‘egotistical’ and ‘dangerous’

Cringe-worthy. Hegseth, a drunk & accused sexual predator Fox Weekend anchor, lectures our world class generals on lethality. Then Trump rambles on about Biden & his mission to launch military troops into cities. #resist www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Is it freedom or a national death cult that keeps growing?
