‘Political opposition is not rebellion’: Appeals court rejects Trump’s rationale for Chicago troop deployment The court also rebuffed the administration’s argument that judges have no power to review the president’s decisions to federalize the National Guard.

Imagine Trump's rage if he ever figures out he's just a demented but useful puppet for people with real agendas.

The reviews are in

It should be a litmus test for Democratic presidential primary candidates whether they will restore the White House and DC public properties to exactly the way they were before the Palm Beach lounge lizard decided to turn it into Mar-a-Lago meets 1936 Nuremberg.

Ireland is taking its cue from Australia by banning Candace Owens for eternity. “We haven’t had snakes here in thousands of years - why invite one in.”

ICYMI — @GovBillLee was just caught brazenly lying about arrests Trump’s occupying force has made in MEMPHIS.

@MLK50Memphis: “most people arrested were not charged with a violent crime, immigrants arrested on administrative, not criminal, warrants.” mlk50.com/2025/10/15/b...

Unfortunately, I remember all of these. Fortunately for us, it cost Clayton Williams, and we got the amazing and incredible Ann Richards for governor.

Joe Rogan Warns Trump Deploying Troops in US Is ‘Dangerous Precedent’

"The military in the street, I think, is a dangerous precedent," Rogan said on his podcast.

The Bolton Indictment - emptywheel The indictment against John Bolton charges him with sending, and then retaining, eight documents containing classified information.

My quick read on the Bolton indictment--it is a substantive indictment, alleging that for each of 8 docs (in which he shared classified info), he sent, then retained the information.

Stupidly telling the truth. Got it.

We waited 20 years for John Bolton to be punished for telling lies about Iraq.

Instead, he gets punished for telling the truth about Trump.

😂 Hey! If we’re going back to the past, well…
