Violence at Portland’s ICE facility is coming from one side: the officers “People of all ages showed up on Sunday, some of which had a small picket line going, others blowing bubbles and using their voices to condemn [law enforcement’s] behavior. But it doesn’t matter what ...

“People of all ages showed up on Sunday, some of which had a small picket line going, others blowing bubbles and using their voices to condemn [law enforcement’s] behavior. But it doesn’t matter what people are doing or not doing; their violent response is always the same.”

If you’ve recently awoken from a coma, the Speaker of the House is stalling the swearing in of a newly elected member from Arizona because she would be the deciding vote in the discharge petition to release the Epstein files, which would be trouble for his boss.

You’re caught up.

Ps: Welcome back.

🔥 ZOHRAN ON FOX: "I want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Adams who will call you to stay out of jail… a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election… I’ll be a mayor ready to speak at any time to lower the cost of living.“

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

"In unison."

Amen.

🔥 COUNTRY SINGER @bryanandrewsmusic.bsky.social : "You don't get to call yourself a Christian and laugh when families are torn apart — and think it's okay that the highest court in the land just gave a green light to ICE agents to target people because they’re brown or speaking Spanish.”

ARE YOU SURPRISED?

I AM NOT!

The American people deserve a public health system that puts science before politics.

That's why California and 14 other governors are joining forces to launch the Governors Public Health Alliance to protect communities and guarantee decisions are rooted in data and health.

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

It's insanity, and it's real.

Masked Federal Secret Police enter Walgreens in Chicago with guns drawn and arrest Black US citizen for "running"

Cosplay Kristi Noem is furious that Seattle-Tacoma and Portland airports won’t play her taxpayer-funded blame-Democrats video. Imagine thinking airport security lines should double as campaign rallies. Sorry Kristi, democracy doesn’t take propaganda orders.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Remember when Stephen Miller claimed the Chicago apartment raid was on a building “filled with Tren de Aragua terrorists”?

Well, DHS has now dropped the number of alleged TdA members arrested in the building from 2 to 1.

Since the Republican Political Party has assumed control of three branches of government they have assumed enemy positions against: Canada, China, Mexico, Panama, Denmark, Norway, Brazil, So Korea, Venezuela, Gaza, and Greenland ~
Literally, inventing enemies for Americans. This is the problem.

Breaking: Text messages of Young Republican groups across the country have just been leaked.

They talk about putting Democrats in “gas chambers,” attacking “Jews,” calling Black people “watermelon people,” calling to “rape” their enemies, and bringing back slavery.

Shut off all utilities to the buildings they are in

A fair question
