If they have this on HER and she's a total sycophant, imagine what they might have on Lindsey Graham (since he's trending and all...).

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Guys, every person you see on Fox News in a mask is just Robert O'Neill, retired Navy Seal and occasional Fox News contributor. He's the former Antifa, former Gazan, former gang member. His eyes are very unique.

$100,000 visa fee could stifle Colorado schools’ ability to hire international teachers — who were helping fill gaps Despite a chronic teacher shortage in the state, the administration’s order requiring employers to pay more for foreign workers puts many districts on edge.

Update on Boomertifa from the war zone.

Same here.

But, unfortunately he can pardon them.

Economists say job losses likely, even as shutdown delays report • Stateline Friday’s jobs report is missing in action because of the federal shutdown, but economists are finding other ways of measuring apparent job losses concentrated in Midwestern states and oil country.

Employers are cautious about hiring...

Right-wing violence against a judge. Pretty sure the FBI 👀 will act swiftly.

Please give an update when you can 💪🙏

I love that area of our state.

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

I am nervous. It never fails. They release a few decisions that make you feel as if they may have done the right thing in those situations, only to then wait to find the slew of cases in which they're going to totally throw aside jurisprudence and genuflect to the Christian Right.

Another win! A federal judge issued a late-Sunday ruling temporarily blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Oregon. U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut (a Trump appointee) granted a restraining order sought by the states of Oregon and California,

Who's the real enemy within?

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Trump to the Navy: "We have to take care of this little gnat that's on our shoulder called the Democrats."

They have an army.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate. 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. I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation. The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

Thank you #acl for having us alongside Jon Batiste 🎻🎹🖤🌎 #austincitylimits #jonbatiste

In addition to their national defense duties, Americans rely on our National Guard to fight wildfires and respond to other natural disasters.

Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

Judge Immergut isn’t playing around and I suspect will slam the Trump Administration for trying to end-run her order from yesterday blocking Trump’s call-up of Oregon’s National Guard in Portland.

Again, an underutilized strategy for responding to wannabe Nazis is to laugh at them and call them weird. badfaithtimes.com/ok-tough-guy/
