If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Right wing garbage Joey Gibson and Nick Sortor are back at the Portland protests. This is why I tell everyone phones out. Record everything. These people will try to stage violence or agitate. Record EVERYTHING. We have nothing to hide.

He’s the only Republican there. He sent all the rest of them home again to avoid a vote on the Epstein files. Since Johnson has become Speaker they have probably been in recess at least 3 out of every 4 days. And they’ve done NOTHING on health care for years. bsky.app/profile/atru...

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ADJUTANT GENERAL, TEXAS NATIONAL GUARD THROUGH: THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS SUBJECT: Calling Members of the Texas National Guard into Federal Service On June 7, 2025, the President of the United States called forth at least 2,000 National Guard personnel into Federal service pursuant to section 12406 of title 10, U.S. Code, to protect U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other U.S. Government personnel who are performing Federal functions, including the enforcement of Federal law, and to protect Federal property, at locations where violent demonstrations against these functions are occurring or are likely to occur based on current threat assessments and planned operations. On October 4, 2025, the President determined that violent incidents, as well as the credible threat of continued violence, are impeding the execution of the laws of the United States in Illinois, Oregon, and other locations throughout the United States. The President has authorized me to coordinate with you on the mobilization of up to 400 members of the Texas National Guard under section 12406 of title 10, U.S. Code. The orders will be effective immediately for an initial period of 60 days, and be subject to extension, to perform federal protection missions where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau will immediately coordinate the details of the mobilization with you, in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Commander, U.S. Northern Command. The mobilized Service members will be under the command and control of the Commander, U.S. Northern Command.

Meanwhile, Hegseth issued a memorandum purporting to federalize members of the Texas national guard for deployment to Portland and Chicago.

The memorandum was just filed as an exhibit on the docket not too long ago. That could explain the delay re: hearing but unclear at the moment....🤷‍♀️

I read @oliverdarcy.bsky.social's interview with WaPo's Matt Murray and I cannot believe he uttered these words: We’ve made great progress on an ambitious plan to reinvent The Post as the most trusted, accurate news organization in the world, with riveting and relevant information for all Americans.

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

The brownshirts are everywhere.

And they *will* come to your street eventually.

This is not just going to happen to "other people."

The judge is a woman.

Multiple videos from this weekend show ICE tear-gassing Chicago police officers.

Things feel like they’re spiraling fast across the city.

A Chicago citizen confronts the hypocrisy of a fellow Hispanic man working for ICE, shaming him and making a powerful point by asking how his family ended up in the United States.

ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN have left the building.

Thugs.

This is chilling. It is time to terrorize Kristi Noem. Really terrorize her.

My opponent thinks we are suckers. She thinks we don’t see through her smoke and mirrors on the shutdown. It’s easy to skip a paycheck when you’re a multimillionaire like she is. She’s out of touch and out of gas. Let’s replace her with someone who wants to do the work. @wellmanformo.bsky.social

I would like to know how we can identify the specific persons at CNN who researched, wrote, edited, and approved this and hang it around their necks for the rest of their professional lives.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador.

Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Apple removes ICEBlock app from App Store Apple on Thursday removed the immigration enforcement tracking app, ICEBlock, from the App Store, citing "safety risks."

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime.

With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone.

Education Department employees surprised to find their email automatically changed to blame Democrats for shutdown Five furloughed employees told NBC News they had put up nonpartisan out-of-office messages, only to see they were changed — without their permission — to partisan ones.

First they shut down the government. Then they tampered with federal workers’ emails to shift the blame. This is corruption in broad daylight.

Israeli influencers across multiple social media platforms are enjoying very lucrative careers. Cenk Uygur and Jordan Uhl discuss on The Young Turks. Do you agree with TYT's take? Tell us what you… Israel's Influencers ARE MAKING BANK

Pro-Israel influencers are making up to $7,000 per post:

Minority Voters Argue Texas Gerrymander Driven By Race as Hearing Kicks Off Read more here.

NEW: A federal court began a hearing in a case here Wednesday to decide whether Texas can use its new gerrymandered congressional map in next year’s midterms. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He can’t take tariff money and give it to anyone, so that is bs. Congress has to pass another farm bailout bill just like they had to the last time Trump wrecked their businesses. So farmers will have to embrace socialism again since they can’t compete in market capitalism.

Rieckhoff: A vet on CNN said we haven’t fought to win in 20 years. I said, I was fighting to win. You were fighting to win.

Kander: That shit pisses me off.

Rieckhoff: He said he meant the generals. Which one? It’s boogeymen—and now cosplay warriors who never served join ICE to bully immigrants.

Lutnick on being invited over to his then-neighbor Jeffrey Epstein's house: He invites us in and there's a massage table in the middle of the room. I say, "Massage table in the middle of your house? How often you have a massage?

And he says, "Every day...and the right kind of massage."

As calls for congress to use the 25th Amendment against the deranged, dementia-addled psychopath grow louder, Rep. Madeleine Dean confronts Mike Johnson. Trump's behavior in a speech to generals and admirals has the entire world questioning the sanity of America's president. 😳👇
