We should have punished the Confederates.

Ninth Circuit Restores Block on Trump’s Portland Guard Deployment Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voted to rehear President Donald Trump’s Portland National Guard case Tuesday — a step that vacates an earlier ruling that allowed Trump to federalize Oregon’s troops and deploy them against local protests. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

baseball posting is unambiguously good for Bluesky. not my thing but we desperately need some lighter topics round these parts

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Stop trying to sweeten the deal, Andrew. I'm already voting for Zohran!

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

"No longer should we think about our political process as settling for the lesser of two evils. We can demand a greater good.

And in doing so, we can make City Hall a place from which New Yorkers expect change, not failure."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It's past time

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

I still can’t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he “has felt the pain” of the trade war because he is a “soybean farmer.”

And he claims to be a “farmer” not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Those who aren't terrified by the authoritarianism are either the perps or they aren't paying attention.

Pentagon Accepts $130 Million Donation to Help Pay Troops During Shutdown. Anonymous billionaires are now directly funding the American military, like some third world dictatorship.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Good. Took too long, but I’ll take it.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

Things like this keep happening.

BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
