Funny how antifa is a terrorist organization now.🤔

An ICE agent wanted to

*drive their car through a crowd of protesters (murder)*

A Portland police officer threatened ICE agent with arrest.

The ICE agent's response was

"I don't mind, Ill take care of it"

&

"There's only a couple of police & protesters so it won't be messy".

Trump is causing ‘chaos’ as pretext for invoking Insurrection Act, JB Pritzker says

Trump is trying to cause chaos in American cities before invoking Insurrection Act, governor in his crosshairs warns

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...

27 million pounds of chicken

2 million gallons of milk

67 million eggs

That’s how much food grown by American farmers never made it to hungry families because of the administration’s decision to cancel deliveries to food banks.

This comes from the apparent fact that ICE agents are instructed to accuse people they assault of violent conduct against them, apparently as a justification for their violence, or to deflect claims. The dishonesty of ICE and its leadership is breathtaking.

If it hasn't happened yet, it's coming. They're craving it so hard.

S. Carolina RE-Intros Bill To Kill Women For Getting An Abortion Here's what's in the bill, why it is so dangerous, and the meaningful steps you can take to fight back, support women's health, and help block this bill from becoming law

3 MAGA extremists have re-intro'd a bill that allows South Carolina to execute women who receive an abortion. If you haven't heard about S 323, it's because corporate media has completely ignored it.

Here's the overview, the sponsors, & how to fight back:

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.”

1. You are talking about THAT Jake Tapper, right? The one who wrote a book about Biden's health problems?

2. It is starting to look like Trump's problem is cognitive. He can stand up and walk, and for a speech, he can pass words through his mouth for an hour or so. But not answer questions.

House of South Carolina Judge Criticized by Trump Administration Set Ablaze Authorities are investigating a fire at the home of a South Carolina judge who had reportedly received death threats in what could be the latest incident of political violence across the country.

The people of Arizona should sue for being deprived of representation

McGovern was attempting to ask why Republicans refuse to swear in Adelita Grijalva leaving her district without representation for 7 months, but Granny wasn’t having it.

Gavin Newsom tells Hannity that 71% of the US GDP comes from counties that voted for Biden in 2020 and Harris in 2024. Hannity freaks out. Newsom is correct. On the other hand, America's "loser" economically depressed counties are united in support of Trump and the MAGA agenda.

I don't have the bandwidth to make this case explicit. But today, Todd Bessent put Frank Bisignano in charge of IRS, in addition to Social Security.

Bisignano, at Social Security, gave Big Balls access to all our Social Security data.

Now he's in charge of IRS.

Jake Tapper, who eviscerated Biden for the sin of growing older, has done everything but help install a chair lift in the White House to cover up Trump's deepening dementia and utter feebleness.

Portland is a “war-ravaged” city that is “on fire,” President Trump warns. But I braved the artillery fire and militia checkpoints to bring you this video report from the front lines.

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.

A top prosecutor in Virginia has informed colleagues she plans to decline to seek charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James, resisting intense pressure from President Donald Trump. She expects to be fired. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Judge Immergut has issued her written TRO prohibiting the Trump administration from relocating or deploying federalized national guard troops to Oregon.

Here it is:

"For me as a veteran, this is more than just a personal injustice—it’s a constitutional affront." #KavanaughStop

This is accurate.

Trump disappears for days and then is all hyped up on some type of drugs for his speech today. What is he taking? Why does his handlers need to give him these drugs? What is Trump's underlying medical condition?!!

Here’s How Trump Loses the Shutdown God help us but Gavin Newsom is the only Democrat who understands power.

"The authoritarian will hurt you if you do not cooperate with them. But a liberal regime will not punish you for having cooperated with authoritarians. So your incentives are clear." How do you fix this?

All power to the frog!

The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now.

We are taking this fight back to court.

This is what my "for you" feed currently looks like. 100% MAGA propaganda about what's happening in Portland. Based on what I hear from people I know who live there, what's happening in Portland is that 99.9% of peoples' lives are going on as usual and there's a small protest at one building.

Katie Daviscourt @KatieDaviscourt • 47m On top of the roof at Portland ICE with @hunnybadgermom!

Update: Just opened up Twitter and this was the first thing in my "for you" feed. Two of those "local journalists" covering the protests at the ICE facility who somehow were able to get a picture of themselves on the roof of that facility. Surely ICE had nothing to do with this, yes?
