Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

What the Founders Would Say Now They might be surprised that the republic exists at all.

What would the Founding Fathers say about America now? They might be surprised that the republic exists at all, Fintan O’Toole writes.

😢 (not really) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Judge blocks Trump from deploying troops in Illinois for now Officials in Oregon and Illinois had challenged the Trump administration’s push to dispatch the National Guard in both states.

“I’m trying to put this delicately,” Perry said. “There has been evidence submitted that the very presence of federal agents, that the way they’re interacting with the populace, is itself the cause of violence.”

They either go back to the Capitol or forfeit their salaries. If there’s not a mechanism for withholding pay, CREATE one!

My God! Someone restrain RFK Jr before he kills someone.

I’d say they owe us their salaries back.

ICE getting tailed like it’s a heist movie. Chicago is turning the tables.

If you come for my people, you come through me.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Justice Dept has 10 days left to respond to civil lawsuit filed by Jan 6 police responders who are seeking court order to require display of Jan 6 law enforcement honorary plaque at US Capitol

Plaque was required to be hung by 2023 under federal law

It hasn’t been hung

New bogus legal analysis. This is BS. Johnson is a tool.

These hearings are uncomfortable to watch because they underscore how impotent Congress is at putting the nation first. Dems because they have no power, and Republicans because they have power but are under a fascist boot. Bondi is a traitor to the law.

What a traitor to her job at AG. Also her unsupported slagging of @reidhoffman.bsky.social, to take focus off of Trump (Epstein’s actual pal) should get her a defamation lawsuit.

After threatening that furloughed federal workers might not receive backpay after all, Mike Johnson tries to clarify that *of course* he thinks they *should* get backpay.

Look at what they have to face

Lindsey’s growing performative outrage about Comey in the 2016 election is so pathetic. Nothing about the legality of blowing up boats in the Caribbean Sea.

Vought, Miller and Vance are in his ear continually, flattering him as their internal coup scheme comes together. Totalitarian control.

Someone should start asking why we’re hearing and seeing Stephen Miller so much all of a sudden.

UPDATE: A source shares this message VOA chief Abramowitz sent to workforce following DC Circuit ruling allowing him to remain in his post despite Trump's attempt to fire him:

House Republicans just AGAIN refused to swear in an elected member of Congress, a blatantly illegal act. They adjourned Congress again without recognizing her, all to avoid having to release the Epstein files

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

“I voted for none of this."

Prominent influencers, including Theo Von, Joe Rogan, and Andrew Schulz, are starting to distance themselves from the president they helped propel to the White House.
