This streak dies tomorrow

Excessive force. PERIOD!

Trump has laid out a whole lot of enemies that are American citizens. And if he’s willing to use lethal force against enemies abroad, what’s stopping him from using lethal force against his enemies at home?

That question should chill every American to the bone.

How Kyrsten Sinema Bullied an Arizona City to Approve Her Client’s AI Data Center Just months after leaving the Senate, Democrats’ former corporate villain is raking in money while lobbying for the AI industry and proudly working "hand in glove with the Trump administration."

Former US Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of #Arizona lobbied the #Chandler Planning Commission on Oct. 15 to encourage the city to build a new data center or face federal intervention.

The city is scheduled to vote on the proposal on Nov. 13.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

Does the Speaker of the House know what's going on in the country?

It's not clear that he does, as Mike Johnson's communication strategy seems to rely heavily on being unaware.

When faced with questions he should be able to answer, he has a reliable response: "I don't know."

Johnson sets record refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 36 days after she won election | Arizona Mirror Speaker Johnson sets record with 36-day Adelita Grijalva swearing in delay as lawsuit claims constitutional violations

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

Trump Empowers Election Deniers, Still Fixated on 2020 Grievances The president has placed proponents of his false claims into government jobs while dismantling systems built to secure voting, raising fears that he aims to seize authority over elections ahead of next year’s midterms.

Heather Honey, an election denier, is filling a newly created Trump administration position of deputy assistant secretary for election integrity. Her ascent reflects how President Trump and his allies still remain consumed with the false belief that the 2020 election was stolen.

CREW urges the Judicial Conference to address the independence of the U.S. Marshals Service. - CREW | Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington The Judicial Conference should use its September 2025 meeting to address the role of the U.S. Marshals Service (USMS) in preserving judicial independence.

The USMS's current placement within the executive branch raises concerns for judicial independence.

That's why we're urging the Judicial Conference to discuss the possibility of the judiciary having control over judicial security at its upcoming meeting.
