Going to bed with troops from a force of uninvited troops only about 30 miles away…

Top concern is a false flag attack on them to cause T to go all the way and stir the Nation against β€œus” as no one wants to see ANY of our troops get hurt.

Realistically the πŸ’© could hit the fan real quick here.

Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

NEW: "I don’t like sending out 'emergency' newsletters, but I’ve had my eye on the situation in Chicago all day....This moment has elevated the crisis so that it is no longer just a conflict between the federal government and a state, but between two states."

He froze because he realized, in real time, that what he’d just said carried serious constitutional implications. Which now will be used against the Trump administration in court. He invoked β€œplenary authority.” That phrase means complete authority, basically the president has dictatorial powers.

Never before in American history has one state's military force been deployed in another state over its objection.

I say never because the Civil War involved states whose governments legally ceased to exist, their offices vacated by constructive resignation, with no legitimate governors to object.

Outcry as Trump plots the plunder of US forests: "You can almost hear the chainsaws" Public comments suggest repealing the Clinton-era "roadless rule" is wildly unpopular.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced that β€œthe last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads and drilling.

Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Let’s try this again it’s a new day. I’m bewildered that no one has answered.

Dear MAGA: why would Donald consider pardoning Maxwell, a sex trafficker for Epstein? Again a reminder, Biden is not president and you guys called for the release of the files repeatedly. So… why?

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.

Ukrainian soldiers captured an Indian national. Majoti Sahil Mohamed Hussein, a 22-year-old citizen of India, spent only three days on the front line. He said he came to Russia to study but was caught with drugs and sentenced to seven years in prison.

Regime Collapse 🧡: 4. They're Weekend At Bernie-ying the fuck out of Trump.

Miller has begun to let slip that *he’s* sending National Guard to cities or doing boat strikes.

Like Musk before him, we need to put the pressure on him - not Trump.

Congress should ask him to testify. 🧡
