Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

The truth that Russia has been bribing European politicians is coming out. If Russia was bribing them, we know they were also bribing our politicians. May the light of truth sweep across the ocean.

"According to Kunter Pedoski, operational commander of Estonia's Southern Prefecture, border guards observed an unusually large presence of Russian military personnel near the crossing on the evening of Oct. 9."
OH SHIT...this is bad. I hope it turns out to be a bluff:

@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

Dems floated a narrow bill to fund the military, which can’t move because the House isn’t in session. Meanwhile, DoD is now going to spend funds not appropriated by Congress to ensure military paychecks continue.

POTUS now both commands and provisions the military. Unconstitutional and SO dangerous

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.
A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC
News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.

Depraved.

I think it should be clear at this point that like the US federal government has collapsed.

There are no branches. There are no rules.

There is just one man and his truth social posts.

“America is first, and Canada can be second,” U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick was quoted as saying lately.

Here’s a thought Lutnick, Canada is the country America can only dream to be, and we are second to none. 1/

BREAKING: President Obama issues a stark warning—authoritarianism isn’t creeping anymore, it’s sprinting.

Around the world, leaders are silencing dissent, controlling media, and twisting justice into a political weapon. His message is clear: democracy won’t survive if we stay silent.
