Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. 'Patriotism' is its cult...Just as love for one individual which excludes the love for others is not love, love for one's country which is not part of one's love for humanity is not love, but idolatrous worship.

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

STEPHANOPOULOS: Trump said Pritzker should be in jail. Do you think he has committed a crime?

VANCE: I think Pritzker has certainly failed to keep the people of Illinois safe

S: It's a yes or no question

V: I certainly think he has violated his fundamental oath. That seems pretty criminal to me

The best way to keep your state safe is to keep the likes of JD Vance from entering it.

BRENNAN: CBS confirmed the Trump administration rescinded the layoffs of CDC scientists. Some were involved with the federal measles response. How does a mistake like this happen?

VANCE: The govt shutdown inevitably leads to some chaos. It happened because of Schumer

B: But this was a WH decision

BARTIROMO: What are the plans for military pay?

VANCE: We're doing some pretty non-conventional things to ensure our troops are able to get paid. But wouldn't it be great if the Democrats just opened up the government so that we did not have to make these very difficult decisions?

He’s teeing up martial law. The radical left. The exaggerated enemy. Vintage Marcos.

He is going to invoke the Insurrection Act. All hell is about to break loose.

Help me out here. When did Biden take office? Who was the FBI director on January 6th? Who appointed that FBI director?

The people who want violent protests to happen are Trump, Stephen Miller, Kristi Noem, Pete Hegseth, Tom Homan, and other senior appointees in his admin. They are doing everything they possibly can to provoke people to violence and it is obvious that is what they hope for daily.

They want any excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act and have it sustained. An exaggerated enemy that they can provoke.

A Marcos version of a martial law dictatorship.

Lying POS. Trump is a career criminal whose illegality persists today. His regime is a cesspool of corruption.

Jordan continues to show his own stripes in his complicity.

Yep. He is addicted to popularity.

Asked by Kristen Welker on Meet the Press this morning whether the White House was seriously considering invoking the Insurrection Act, Vice President Vance said, "The president is looking at all his options."

There is no basis in reality for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. An exaggerated enemy. He wants the emergency powers of a dictatorship.

An assault on the Constitution.

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

There's a decent chance that the Supremes will strike down Trump’s extra special brand new 100% China tariff, as unconstitutional. And so it's doubly notable how much markets panicked, given the (roughly) 50% chance it won’t happen. The market drop understates the damage Trump's trying to inflict.

"Forty-two judges went so far as to say that the Supreme Court’s emergency orders had caused 'some' or 'major' harm to the public’s perception of the judiciary[,] [including] nearly half of the Republican-nominated judges."
