Feels like a situation where -- and look, I'm just spitballing here -- the media could take some reporters and cameras to various parts of Portland and report what they see rather than just do stenography for someone with a long history trying to game the system with lies and exaggeration.

That our immigration system is deeply flawed, as is our publicβ€˜s idea/notion of criminality, and the incongruity between what constitutes a trained and licensed professional and competency itself.

Ya'll. A ruling from the bench like this is uncommon. But Trump is going fast, so the courts will go fast in response.

She's going to make it crystal clear they can't send California National Guard into Oregon against the wishes of both governors.

What happens then is anybody's guess.

Immergut states for the record that she is basing new TRO on all of the reasons that were in my prior opinion granting first motion and the same reasons and apply...The deployment of the federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, she says.

Judge: Based on the conduct of the defendants and now seeing TX National Guard called up, I am going to grant alternative TRO requested. Let me ask plaintiffsβ€”I'd prefer not to modify original TRO, but I am troubled to hear of CA and TX NG being sent to OR, in apparent violation of my order

imagine joining the National Guard now. what’s their recruiting like. β€œhave you always longed to beat up other Americans who have done nothing wrong? well mostly you’ll be picking up trash, and you’ll be sleeping on the ground and won’t get paid, but you get to do it all in another state”

Abbott egged on the Jade Helm conspiracists, who claimed that a military training operation was actually Obama invading the state of Texas.

Now a U.S. president is deploying Texas troops to other states to dominate and intimidate those states, and Abbott is complicit.

Important to keep in mind that while the Republican-state governors sending their National Guard into Democratic states definitely think of this as conquering US, a victory for the Confederacy, those National Guard are probably pissed they are being sent away from jobs/family for this absurd mission

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activistβ€”Harmeet Dhillonβ€”currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States
