I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.

💔💔💔💔💔

And one of these pardoned J6er’s was up on the roof of the PDX ICE building with federal snipers this weekend showing off the “power” of another forced intrusion. He was goading Portland protestors on all weekend, picking fights (as he meant to). He is now known as a “conservative influencer”. WTF

That’s a total fabrication.

FACT FOCUS: Democrats did not shut down the government to give health care to 'illegal immigrants' This is false. Democrats say they are pushing for the inclusion of key health care provisions in the next congressional spending package.

It's clear that rightwing agitators are flocking to Portland to distort what's happening, pick fights, and create incidents so the Trump Administration can escalate their punitive plans.

As this piece by the Star Tribune lays bare, those plans include turning the US military against Americans.

Even after DOGE cuts, Bill Huizenga has no problem targeting even more federal employees at risk of losing their jobs. #MI04

"If you're nonessential, we need to start talking about what exactly you are doing."

Oh for heavens sake. Now the DOJ is filing charges against Portland’s Chief of Police because they arrested one of their right wing cohorts. GOP tears!!

Federal Workers Are Being Told to Blame Democrats for the Shutdown Workers at one agency were given unhinged, partisan language to use when setting out-of-office replies.

Lies and lawlessness.

Imagine being asked to lie for your boss in an unhinged and extremely partisan out-of-office email reply, breaking the law and committing a fireable offense,

all while they’re NOT paying you.

There is a certain kind of Army officer who, after the excitement of company command, finds his career stalled, and who perhaps leaves the service as a major in the National Guard filled with bitterness and resentment. He may then dream of one day being in a position to make all the superior officers who failed to appreciate his leadership qualities, his insight, his sheer fitness stand to attention and hear him lay down the law about what it is to be an officer, and threaten to fire those who do not meet his standards. In this respect, and this respect only, on that stage Pete Hegseth was living the dream. In all other respects, however, he was ridiculous...

I did not expect this kind of fire from Eliot Cohen, but he has Hegseth absolutely pegged www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
