It’s not that the Supreme Court said it’s legal for Trump to steal all your tax money, just that they said nobody is allowed to stop him
…or just have a DOGE stooge flip a switch.
A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account
Breaking News: President Trump wants $230 million from the Justice Department for investigating him, people familiar with the matter say. Any settlement might ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit. nyti.ms/4hmIi5X

So far this year, 16 states have enacted 29 laws that restrict the vote — a rise from previous years. 28 and parts of the 29th will be in effect for the 2026 midterms. Learn more in the latest State Voting Laws Roundup from the Brennan Center and @goldmanschool.bsky.social:
State Voting Laws Roundup: October 2025
The number of new restrictive voting laws has increased this year, while legislation aimed at expanding voting access has lagged.

I’m glad people are taking notice of what the House Minority Leader’s been saying and doing.
I’ve been hard on Hakeem in the past, but I’m impressed by how the Democrats are handling this shut down. Protect American healthcare!

Q: Getting back to the Jeffries threat, this is one of a number of J6 pardons that's been rearrested. Did Trump make a mistake?

JOHNSON: I don't know any of the details. I'll tell you the violence on the left is far more prevalent than on the right. The rhetoric that you saw Saturday plays into it
More popcorn !!
JUST IN: Judge Cameron Currie, a Clinton appointee, will decide whether Lindsey Halligan is disqualified as interim U.S. attorney, following a motion brought by James Comey. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...
More stealing in broad daylight with help from his henchies (henchmen and women).

Why not? We’re going to be in real pain this winter - no health care and scarce food.

American taxpayers are the number one purchaser of firearms.

That’s why Brady is driving procurement reform efforts nationwide, to ensure our tax dollars aren’t fueling the gun industry’s profits. They also shouldn’t be funding agencies that turn those weapons on our neighbors.
ICE’s weapons spending is up 700% under Trump to go after Americans on domestic soil.

They’ve turned law enforcement into an armed political tool and left communities to face the scourge of illegal guns alone.

They’re not preventing crime. They’re fueling it.
ICE boosts weapons spending 700%
A Popular Information investigation reveals tens of millions in new ICE spending on guns, chemical weapons, and explosives.

If I could afford a second home NOLA would be it!!
As a retired fed employee who was responsible for the execution of the National Historic Preservation Act, I can assure you this is ENTIRELY illegal. Utterly and completely.
Thank you for this summary. I will be praying for the sanity of the 11th circuit….
As a former fed. Employee, I can think of a couple-dozen laws that have been broken right here, right now. Donnie Dump is the foulest skank on the planet.
It is shameful that Republicans & the Supreme Court are letting an Adderall addict with the IQ of a Q-tip and man who thinks he has ended 8 wars, destroy America, the Constitution, Democracy and the White House.

I wonder how these guys manage to get out of the establishment in the first place?
We all knew that would happen, but it’s really affecting to see it on paper. (So to speak).
Don’t let them know how hideous it really is.
Reject the evidence of eyes and ears etc.
The Treasury Department instructed employees not to share to share photos of the demolition of parts of the White House’s East Wing
Right now, only the lower courts are acting responsibly. It looks like everyone else has cowed.

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.
The National Historic Preservation Act, plus the Congressional appropriations process are just the tip of the iceberg. Part of the reason Congress is DOA is because they’ve let him go too far. They themselves are complicit. It’s a cesspool…
40 billion dollars for nothing.
so that was money well spent then, hey? america firrrrst!

"Given Portland protesters’ well-known penchant for wearing chicken suits, inflatable frog costumes, or nothing at all...observers may be tempted to view the majority’s ruling, which accepts the gov't’s characterization of Portland as a war zone, as merely absurd. But [it] is not merely absurd..."
As expected, 9th Circuit panel rules for Trump, allowing deployment of the Oregon National Guard to Portland.

Graber, in dissent, asks colleagues on 9th to vacate the order.
"I ask those who are watching this case unfold to retain faith in our judicial system for just a little longer," she writes
