Y'know what's most upsetting about ICE's Brown Shirt tactics?
We're paying for them. Those guys are taking our tax money to grab people from their homes and cars, beat on them, shoot them, and face no punishment.

The American people are WAY BIGGER & MORE POWERFUL than the Regime and their ICE minions.
We CAN beat them. We can.

Itβs hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.
Itβs of note that during tonightβs hearing the DoJ didnβt even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.
At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.
We estimate that ACA marketplace enrollees will see their out-of-pocket premiums increase by 114% if enhanced tax credits are not extended. That translates to an average premium increase of $1,016 per enrollee.

BREAKING:
The Supreme Court just rejected Ghislaine Maxwellβs appeal of her criminal conviction for recruiting and grooming teenage girls for sexual abuse by Jeffrey Epstein.
The decision means that her conviction and 20-year criminal sentence remain in place.
Sending Guardsmen into other states is only going to get more unpopular from here, and could very well turn into a liability for every R candidate in a competitive gubernatorial race next year.
Ds certainly should be running against it.
Sending the National Guard to cities is fascism.

I might say more later, but for now "Don't take the bait" is really pissing me off. It is the liberal message of cowardice that the privileged will hide in their houses and blame the most vulnerable populations when the Regime attacks.

The schedules will be updated on CDC.gov by October 7, 2025.
The acting CDC director has finally signed off on the vaccine advisory panel's recommendations for the COVID vaccines.
While the CDC is trying to sell this as a win for antivaxxers, in reality this means that COVID vaccines will be more accessible than they have been in recent weeks.
Part of Leavittβs justification for the Guard in Portland: people are βdisrespectingβ ICE and engaged in βcivil disobedience.β
Section 12406 allows deployment only in the event of foreign invasion, a rebellion, or inability to enforce federal laws.
Not disrespect and disobedience.
