OMB deletes reference to law guaranteeing backpay to furloughed feds from shutdown guidance An Office of Management and Budget FAQ document now states that only excepted employees forced to work without pay are guaranteed backpay at the conclusion of a lapse in appropriations.

Lawless Russell Vought thinks he can nullify a law by deleting it from an FAQ

It’s a beauty 🌈

Come on, we don’t need shitty AI to point out her many failings.

To say what is happening makes you sound like a crackpot on a forum. A federal judge is enjoining the president from unlawfully sending federalized soldiers to invade the states of his political opponents against their will.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

This video of Chicagoans intervening to save a man from being abducted off the streets by ICE is making the rounds on Instagram.

Community action works.

Elon Musk and Stephen Miller both tweeted against judges today.

A South Carolina judge's house burned down and almost killed her family.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Everyone who disagrees with me is a terrorist, says the man who insists he isn't a fascist.

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

They’re getting into such circular logic. The justification for sending in troops no one wants is that they sent in troops nobody wanted and people protested, so now they have to send in troops to protect those troops. Just leave!

@Sec_Noem on X: Chicago, we’re here for you.

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

BREAKING: A federal judge says there is a realistic likelihood that the prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driven by vindictive motives — reflected in the public statements of Bondi, Blanche, Noem et al.

He has ordered discovery on the question.

Wut

Russ is absolutely faint from the constant raging boner he's getting about hurting people he hates.

One thing that the Cracker Barrel Meltdown of 2025 made very clear to me is that even if the whole world suddenly agreed to use binary gender pronouns they’d just get mad about something else.

The outrage is what feeds them.

The Republicans could end this shutdown by negotiating a decrease to your rising health insurance premiums. They don’t want to do that because that premium increase will pay for their tax cut for rich people.

Federal Agents Handcuff Chicago Alderperson At Hospital ER In another incident caught on video Friday, federal agents inside a car randomly threw tear gas into a Logan Square street while people — including a 2-year-old — were outside nearby.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities.

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours.

'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement.

In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup.

It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

Say more—I need to bake this asap.

This isn’t just unconstitutional, it would be anti-Constitutional.

They dismembered a journalist.

I think Chapelle thinks free speech means people have to laugh at unfunny jokes.
