Tom Nichols on the situation in Chicago: “This story really isn’t about immigration… It’s about getting the American people used to idea that Donald Trump is an absolute ruler who can put the military in streets at will, and intimidate everyone, including citizens.”

The Civil-Military Crisis Is Here The leaders of the U.S. military may soon face a terrible decision.

The U.S. armed forces may soon face the choice of whether to refuse illegal and unconstitutional orders, @radiofreetom.bsky.social writes. What will they do?

Are these really National Guard or cosplayers? WTF do they feed them in Texas?

This is so not normal. And so not right. And so unconstitutional. And if a Democratic president had the Governor of Illinois send IL national guard troops to Texas, @GregAbbott_TX would be having a meltdown.

Dishonest, unserious, fear mongering, performative bullshit. Perfect for unserious, fearful people who want to be fed bullshit.

Republicans used to say they believed in free markets & free trade. Now they believe in Trump.

Republicans used to say they believed in the rule of law. Now they believe in Trump.

Republicans used to say they believed in states’ rights. Now they believe in Trump.

Ari Melber: Over the past three decades, far-right extremists led 220 attacks, compared to far-left extremists leading 42 attacks. That's roughly five times [more]

If you look at the body count... far-right extremist violence led ~520 deaths, the left-wing attacks resulted in the death of about 78.

Donald Trump is trying to create a police state. In this country. In America. Fuck that. Trump is trying to turn America into a police state. Most Americans will not accept that. Most Americans will not live in a police state. No fucking way.

Once again, he stood in front of our troops and attacked half the country. He stood in front of our troops and delivered a political, partisan speech. U.S. Presidents don’t do this. We’ve so normalized his horribleness.

How the hell did CNN brass ever sign off on this?

Pritzker: “The Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

Someone should ask what Miller was doing between 2021 and 2025, why David Horowitz recruited him to the foreign policy team of the Trump campaign, why the Democrats never followed through on their 2017 investigation of alleged lies on Miller's SF-86 clearance forms, but no one asks real questions

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.

This footnote to Illinois and Chicago's lawsuit against Trump is an important reminder:

* There is no Department of War or Secretary of War, which are make-believe names for the actual agencies created by Congress.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

"IF YOU JOIN ICE IN 2025 THEN YOU ABSOLUTELY WOULD HAVE JOINED THE NAZIS IN 1935."

I think this sums it up. He is a laughing stock around the world.
“A festering carcass of American rot. A rotting pumpkin.” Thank you, Oliver from the UK👏

Release the unredacted Jeffrey Epstein files immediately.
