We have no universal healthcare or even high-speed rail. Americans have long been inured to mediocrity (ashy turkey) despite better options staring us in the face (braised short ribs).

I know it feels pointless to speak up against this. I know you feel like it won't matter. Still, it remains imperative that we call a spade a spade (or, in this case, a traitor a traitor).

The President of the United States is sprinting to normalize the murder of journalists and dissenters.

This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

The contrast with SNAP is deafening.

The White House is stretching well beyond what anyone could claim is legal in order to pay the troops โ€” while simultaneously stretching beyond whatโ€™s legal to NOT pay SNAP benefits.

Proceedings: (IN CHAMBERS) ORDER RE DEFENDANTSโ€™ EX PARTE APPLICATION
FOR STAY PENDING APPEAL [98]
On September 10, 2025, the Court granted Plaintiffsโ€™ Motion for Preliminary Injunction.
[Dkt. 83]. Defendants filed a Notice of Appeal nearly a month later. [Dkt. 89]. The instant Ex
Parte Application for Stay of the Preliminary Injunction Pending Appeal (โ€œApplicationโ€) was
filed on October 15. [Dkt. 98].
Defendants contend that immediate, ex parte relief is required in light of the โ€œNo Kingsโ€
rally scheduled to take place in Los Angeles (and across the country) on October 18. Application
at 2. They also assert various โ€œworkabilityโ€ concerns and other substantive arguments largely
mirroring those raised and addressed in prior briefing. Id. at 12โ€“31.
To justify ex parte relief, the moving party must show that its โ€œcause will be irreparably
prejudiced if the underlying motion is heard according to regular noticed motion procedures,โ€
and that it is โ€œwithout fault in creating the crisis that requires ex parte relief, or that the crisis
occurred as a result of excusable neglect.โ€ Mission Power Engโ€™g Co. v. Contโ€™l Cas. Co., 883 F.
Supp. 488, 492 (C.D. Cal. 1995).
Here, Defendants waited five weeks after the Court issued its injunction to file their
Application, during which time the Court presumes Defendants complied with its order to
disseminate the injunction. Furthermore, they waited almost three weeks from when they first
indicated to Plaintiffs that they would be seeking a stay. Declaration of Peter Bibring in
Opposition to Application ยถ 2 [Dkt. 100-1] (noting that Defendants notified Plaintiffs of their
intent to move for a stay pending appeal on September 26, 2025). And Defendants waited over a

protests-california-oct-18. In short, Defendants have not shown any exigency not of their own
creation and therefore have not shown an entitlement to extraordinary relief.
Notwithstanding these procedural deficiencies, the Court will address the merits of the
arguments presented. To that end, the Court will issue a substantive order on the stay request no
later than October 24, 2025. Given that a substantive opposition has already been filed, the
matter is deemed submitted until then. All prior orders remain in full force and effect.
IT IS SO ORDERED.

It was really important for the reporter to 1) talk about he was having trouble breathing because of all the tear gas and 2) be like: your eyes are not lying to you. LASD are the agents of chaos, not the protesters.

Not just reporting, but truth telling. Yes, it sucks I have to delineate the two.
