Portland And Beyond This afternoon, Donald Trump was asked about invoking the Insurrection Act: “I’d do it if it was necessary.

Trump is trying to make sending troops onto American streets like a normal policy choice for a president to make. It’s time we start insisting that it isn’t. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Bad Bunny just said what millions are thinking — calling out Trump and the MAGA cult for their white-supremacist hate. 🎤💥

The fact that she returns fire with accusations on EVERY question in this hearing is absolutely damning. She knows she’s big time screwed.

So, how do we stop him?

A new White House memo says that furloughed federal workers aren't entitled to back pay.

This is clearly against the law, which guarantees furloughed federal employees back pay for the duration of a government shutdown.

I'm not a conservative commentator. Billionaires won't pay me $150m. No major network is making me the editor in chief.

But I am a lawyer who fights for democracy. I did build Democracy Docket from scratch. And, for $10 a month you can help it do its vital work. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote.

Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Rayfield: When Trump learned that this was a judge who was appointed by him, he said he wasn’t served well.

To have any president or any politician in America say a judge is not serving them—words can’t even describe how backwards that is.

Phang: He’s not the king. He’s the court jester.

This is the state secret police committing acts of public humiliation and torture. Americans don’t have a language for this in the public consciousness but that is what this is with no exaggeration or embellishment.

Attorney General Bondi is about to be sworn in under oath.

Chicago is currently under siege by the President she runs cover for.

I’ll be asking tough questions.

I hear ya.

What a dork.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Torches CNN For ‘New Dark Low’ On Trump A weird interview with the president really riled the anchor.

“Maxwell has only one hope left of getting out of prison, her old friend Donald Trump. And today, CNN’s White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins asked the best question of the day, which revealed that Donald Trump will consider pardoning his old friend.”

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

The problems that we as a nation have sought to illuminate, so that we can remedy them, are disappearing — not because the problems are disappearing or have been remedied, but because we will no longer know about them. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/turning-out-the-lights-on-the-economy

Waukegan mayor intervenes after Border Patrol arrest of woman turns physical outside Waukegan City Hall The Waukegan mayor intervened after U.S. Border Patrol agents forcefully arrested a woman, who is reportedly an American citizen, outside of the Waukegan City Hall Monday afternoon.

#ProudBlue “We don’t need a warrant… f–k off,” one of them responded. The agents also said that it did not matter what her citizenship was and alleged that she was impeding an investigation.”

She wrote down her lies so she wouldn't forget them.

We already knew that before he took this job.

NOTABLE -- Pam Bondi refuses to answer direct questions about if the FBI has incriminating photos of Trump with half-naked young women, but instead deflects from them by attacking Sen. Whitehouse

America’s Fourth Amendment Is on Life Support — What Do You Do When Your Government Becomes the Criminal? Raids without warrants, kids in zip-ties, and officials who say “F** the children”: this is the moral collapse of the American state. It's time for state authorities to start making arrests...

"When the government becomes the criminal, silence is complicity. The Fourth Amendment is not a relic or a privilege; it’s the firewall between freedom and tyranny. If we allow it to burn, we’re setting fire to the idea of America itself".
