One subcommittee hearing in October. (*Not* an oversight hearing.) Nothing at all on the calendar for November.

No subpoenas have been issued.

Billboards outside US Southern Command urge troops not to 'break the law’ in Caribbean strikes “Don’t let them make you break the law,” reads a billboard along the road to U.S. Southern Command, one of several set up by veterans.

"The new billboards are designed to inform troops of legal resources … 'The [Southern Command] strikes … represent the most blatantly illegal act that this administration has had the military carry out.'"

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.

Ukraine. . . :(

ADD NIGERIA ~ In 8 months, the Republican Political Party has assumed enemy positions towards: Mexico. Canada. Greenland. Denmark. NATO. China. Brazil. Venezuela. Afghanistan. Iran. Panama. Gaza. Argentina (pending vote). Colombia. U.S. elected officials and citizens.

Shhhh!!!!

Trump has withheld aid, berated Zelenskyy, accused Ukraine of starting the war (by existing?), told them to give up land, and is essentially siding with Russia. But I hope you're wrong about the bombing.

Let’s talk about ICE. This post is long, but it’s worth reading to understand how to protect your right to privacy.

It might sound extreme, but everyday Americans may soon want to consider face coverings for reasons far beyond health or fashion.

Eff that!

I was proud to vote this week! If you haven't yet, go make your voice heard before or on election day!

Horrifying. I shudder to think what these adulta are telling children. The school should be sued, accreditation challenged, etc.

The Next Terrorist Attack And What Comes After (Updated)

Flynn isn’t talking “reform.” He’s calling for shutting down independent federal law enforcement and replacing it with a loyalty force — textbook authoritarian power consolidation.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

Police report: Nancy Mace cursed and berated officers in airport altercation Mace, who is running for governor of South Carolina, reportedly told police this is no way to treat a “f---ing U.S. representative.” The GOP congresswoman is downplaying the incident.

Police report: Nancy Mace cursed and berated officers in airport altercation. She has had anger management and other mental health issues for so long it’s amazing no one from her family or the GOP is doing anything about it.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Kristi Noem is lying - deliberately & egregiously.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.
