Oy... WTF?

ICE is firing pepper bullets and deploying smoke grenades in Portland, even though protesters are remaining in their designated area and peacefully dancing.

And put snipers on the roof to cause terror.

ICE agents are reportedly creeping around high schools in Chicago. And because they are wearing masks, often not wearing uniforms and using unmarked vehicles this means that ANYONE could show up dressed like this and disappear kids off the streets. This is especially dangerous

Ex-special counsel John Durham undercut case against James Comey in interview with prosecutors: Sources John Durham, who investigated the Russia probe, told prosecutors probing James Comey that had been unable to uncover evidence supporting charges against him, sources say.

NEW: "No career prosecutor was willing to present the case to a grand jury on Halligan's behalf." lol WONDER WHY! abcnews.go.com/US/special-c...

If U.S. states have any degree of sovereignty, if there’s any states’ rights at all, it is the right not to be invaded by the armed forces of another U.S. state.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police.

Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Judge Esther Salas, whose son was murdered in 2020, issues a dire warning today:

“Officials from top to bottom” are using rhetoric that puts judges at risk:

the smugness of Stephen Miller in dealing with reporters is off the charts

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

Last year they claimed “illegals” were voting, without any evidence.

They used fear mongering to push for voter suppression laws.

Now they claim “illegals” are getting free healthcare, again without any evidence.

So they can make healthcare unaffordable for millions of Americans.

Enough.

ICYMI — A July 17th post from Miller’s cousin disavowing him is making the rounds again. www.rawstory.com/stephen-mill...

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are.

If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST

Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time.

Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Leavitt: “You guys are framing this like the president wants to do the exact thing he says he wants to do.”

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

POLL: Independent voters overwhelmingly oppose Trump's military deployments to U.S. cities, arguing that he is 'taking his eyes off the ball' and is neglecting the real issues facing America.

TIME MAG - “The 69-year-old judge had received death threats in the weeks leading up to the fire…” (Stephen miller in particular has been lashing out at judges)

Bingo. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

Jeffries: "Why don't Republicans want to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. Is it the Epstein files?"

Imagine believing this. They’ve refused to expand Medicaid in Tennessee costing us $30 billion and counting

Illinois Sues to Block Trump’s Deployment of Texas National Guard in Chicago Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: Illinois filed a lawsuit Monday to block President Donald Trump’s attempt to send hundreds of Texas National Guard troops in Chicago, saying the deployment infringes on the state’s “sovereignty and right to self-governance.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized.

We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon.

She issued that order
