Sadly, the Biden Administration officials who initiated this partnership under the Inflation Reduction Act couldnโ€™t be present. ๐Ÿ˜

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

Gig workers, street vendors and day laborers hit by feds in Chicago immigration crackdown Instead of targeting factories and businesses in large-scale raids, federal agents are arresting Chicagoans who work out in the open.

I think it's because Nero's madness and carelessness of any rule or norm is on display in a way that cannot be spun by F*X etc.? In our segregated information spaces it's still beyond question mad?

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress over two weeks ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in.

Why the delay?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government

One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

Things to consider:

Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter

Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed

You are a witness.
Expose it.

My 10 cents is that other blue states (and maybe even some red states) need to start supporting Illinois, California, and Oregon in their legal arguments BEFORE the spotlight turns to them.

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.

The very first statute authorizing domestic use of the military during domestic emergencies, enacted in 1792 by a Congress full of the same folks who wrote and ratified the Constitution, expressly provided for judicial review in certain circumstances *before* the President could even send troops.

Keep taking videos of what ICE is doing. @govpritzker.illinois.gov is right, document whatโ€™s happening. This is why they hate journalists so much.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whateverโ€™s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.
