It’s of note that during tonight’s hearing the DoJ didn’t even try to make the case that changing conditions on the ground in Portland warranted the CA National Guard. Instead they relied on legal technicalities. Proving again that what they say in court is different than lies they tell the public.

NO FARMER BAILOUT

Farmers keep voting for their own destruction & my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to fund it. Trump’s expected to announce a new bailout. He wrecked them w/tariffs, then acts like a hero by bailing them out w/our money.

They’ll cash the check, then vote to burn it all down again.

Over the weekend Georgia's resistance nearly stormed the oligarch controlled kremlin friendly fascist presidential palace, breaking down its gates, as thousands of brave people in Tbilisi took the streets and fought off waves of fascist police forces. #3E #GeorgiaProtests

There is no acceptable excuse for zip-tying children! None.

This shouldn’t even have to be said.

Ezra Klein now imagining that all NYT readers are just waiting with bated breath for him to weigh in on the socialist democrats in Portland... Oh no, please hurry Ezra, we cannot take the anticipation!

As Money Rushed In, ICE’s Rapid Expansion Stalled Out Immigration arrests have declined and jail overcrowding is worse despite billions in new funds.

"The stream of social-media clips showing masked agents kicking down doors & raiding Home Depot parking lots has kept up the appearance of an ever-expanding campaign. ICE’s own data show that the agency’s buildup stalled over the summer" www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

As his FBI tenure goes from bad to worse, Kash Patel abandons the pretense of seriousness The problem isn’t that the FBI director is failing at his attempts to be a serious and capable figure. The problem is that he isn’t even trying.

The problem isn't that Kash Patel is failing at his attempts to be a serious and capable figure. The problem is that the FBI director isn't even trying.

Take his firing of a field agent who wouldn’t humiliate James Comey, for example. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

ICE is doing a hell of a lot of harm in the Chicago area *right now.* I don’t mean to trivialize the national guard stuff, it absolutely is an irresponsible escalation, but the guard-centric convo around this really does understate what’s going on without any guardsmen.

Epstein Survivors Will Flood Capitol to Force Files Release They will appear alongside the congresspeople supporting the release, including Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes will return to the Capitol to hold another press conference demanding Congress force a vote to release the Epstein files.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

It’s a regime not an administration.

The secret police not immigration enforcement.

These aren’t raids. They’re state-sanctioned violence and pogroms.

Don’t let the media continue to use language that condones fascism.

Words matter.

A civics lesson.

Let this sink in...

From Yarvin's Substack: The second Trump revolution, like the first, is failing. It is failing because it deserves to fail. It is failing because it spends all its time patting itself on the back. It is failing because its true mission, which neither it nor (still less) its supporters understand, is still as far beyond its reach as algebra is beyond a cat. Because the vengeance meted out after its failure will dwarf the vengeance after 2020—because the successes of the second revolution are so much greater than the first—I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country. Everyone else in a similar position should have a 2029 plan as well. And it is not even clear that it will wait until 2029: losing the Congress will instantly put the administration on the defensive.

Terrified Curtis Yarvin—the “philosopher behind JD Vance”—plans to flee the USA.

The Dork Enlightenment guru says the Trump administration is failing to go full authoritarian.

“I feel that I personally have to start thinking realistically about how to flee the country.”

This is so embarrassing for Mike Johnson.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid.

Which is an easily disproven lie.

John Thune Praises Tariffs As He Admits Farmers Have 'Big Harvest' With 'No Place To Go' Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) praised President Donald Trump's tariffs even as he admitted that farmers in his state had a "big harvest" with "no place to go."

AMERICAN FARMERS MUST NOW DESTROY THEIR CROPS
Harvest season arrives with no buyers thanks to Trump tariffs. Taxpayers must now bail out our farmers due to failed policies. #corruption #tariffs #economics #Farmland #ineptitude

Legal experts condemn Apple bowing to White House's request to remove ICE tracking app It's the latest example of tech giants bowing to pressure from the Trump administration. Legal experts say the developer of the app has free speech rights that may have been violated.

AMEN AMEN AMEN. AT 74, SO want to see ALL that you have stated!!!

Trump’s Authoritarianism Isn’t The Only Problem With Democracy In America A new book argues that America has never actually been a democracy. That doesn’t mean hope is lost.

Trump will blow our taxpayer $ on all kinds of stuff for his buddies, his hobbies and his fascist fever dreams, but he won't protect healthcare access or undoing Medicaid cuts for regular Americans.

Tell Congress to cancel the healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz

Nothing says America First like bailing out Argentina while making healthcare unaffordable for 20+ million Americans.

Or signing an Article 5 protection treaty with Qatar coz they bribed you with a plane, while screwing over longstanding NATO allies.

Folks, I think America First might be a scam.
