After Noem’s testimony today, I am surprised she needed a bathroom break so soon. She just finished unloading hours of 💩 live on tv in front of millions of people.

Here is a refresher on the Insurrection Act.

When will most Americans start waking up ? Hopefully soon when the ripple effect takes place. We need all hands on deck !

“We don’t take an oath to a king, or a queen, or to a tyrant or dictator, and we don’t take an oath to a wannabe dictator. We don’t take an oath to an individual. We take an oath to the Constitution, and we take an oath to the idea that is America,

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.

The press steps up as Trump targets Chicago Local journalism is under siege, but still makes itself indispensable

"With local news in a severe tailspin for decades, there was a real question about whether Chicago’s media would meet the moment. But they have indeed," writes @markjacob.bsky.social in Stop The Presses.

We are so lucky Raider @iwillnotbesilenced.bsky.social posted a video that has emerged from the Portland War Zone. It looks like the struggle of the people is real, to find parking and coffee. ☕️

💯❗️

Just once I would like to hear someone, a reporter or a Dem senator, say, "Nonsense! No one believes that. You're lying, you know you're lying, we know you're lying, just stop lying! Do you really think your base is that stupid?"

(And yes, we know ... most of their base really is that stupid.)

I am so very tired of listening to Republicans lie. It's not just since Trump. Republicans have been blatantly lying since at least the 1990s. But Trump lies so constantly without being called out on it that the rest of them put their dishonesty on steroids. It's like their primary tactic now.

The Conversation headline: The Supreme Court is headed toward a radically new vision of unlimited presidential power, by Graham Dodds

Hey @us.theconversation.com can you please use your words? There is a concise word for “unlimited presidential power.” It’s called “dictatorship.”

After Noem’s testimony today, I am surprised she needed a bathroom break so soon. She just finished unloading hours of 💩 live on tv in front of millions of people.

This was actually a bathroom stop for Noem.

Editorial: We need our leaders to stay cool as ICE-related chaos gets hot Provocateurs on the right and left were the story of a chaotic weekend in Chicago. Our political leaders need to reclaim the narrative and cool things down.

A fascist dictator is ordering armed troops from another state to invade the city of Chicago, and the Chicago Tribune editorial board reacts by warning Gov. Pritzker and Mayor Johnson to avoid injudicious language. Really.

YouTube video by MSNBC Lawrence: Trump reveals he’s considering pardoning convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell

Remarkable take down by @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com of a @cnn.com anchor who proudly reported on his unverified 'text interview' with Trump. He's not named here but it was Jake Tapper who gave Trump questions in advance & has no idea who actually typed the responses.

5 pm Tuesday Advisory & cone on Tropical Storm #Jerry. Hopefully it should bypass the Leeward Islands. Maybe goes close to Bermuda, but it appears to be a worry for Marine Interests.

Thanks to Trump’s tariffs on China, U.S. soybean farmers have lost their biggest customer and are grappling with higher prices for farming equipment.

Now, Trump has said he will bail out farmers — supposedly with the tariff revenue that caused the crisis to begin with.

Hello?

PADILLA: Do you believe govt officials are obligated to follow court orders whether they agree with them or not, yes or no?

BONDI: I wish you loved your state of California as much as you hate President Trump

PADILLA: I asked a simple yes or no question

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay: “It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

WELCH: There's a tape, right, with Mr Homan. Is there a tape with audio and video of the transfer of $50k?

BONDI: You would have to talk to Director Patel about that

WELCH: I'm talking to you

BONDI: I don't know the answer

WELCH: You do know

BONDI: Don't call me a liar!

SCHIFF: If a video exists of Homan taking $50k in bribe money from the FBI, will you support a request to provide it to the committee?

BONDI: You can talk to Director Patel about that

SCHIFF: I'm talking to you about it


BONDI: Will you apologize to Donald Trump?

The press steps up as Trump targets Chicago Local journalism is under siege, but still makes itself indispensable

If you think today's news media picture is grim, take stock of how Chicago's local journalists are getting at the truth despite Homeland Security's campaign of lies and intimidation.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Goals💥

UPDATE: A source shares this message VOA chief Abramowitz sent to workforce following DC Circuit ruling allowing him to remain in his post despite Trump's attempt to fire him:

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan
