The ravings of a Mad King.

America ousted its king 250 years ago.
Not going to allow one now.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday morning took aim at Mayor Brandon Johnson and Gov. JB Pritzker, writing on social media that both should be jailed for “failing to protect” ICE officers.
Pritzker, Johnson fight back after President Trump says they should be jailed for failing to protect ICE
Gov. JB Pritzker responded Wednesday morning, writing on X, "I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?"

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

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.

I would say, with more respect than your quoted twoot, that we don’t say “ACAB” because every cop is literally a bastard but because the problems with American policing are deeply structural. It is the job of cops in our society to rough up protesters and reporters.

NYT reports that Letitia James’s great niece lives in the home that is the subject of the indictment.

The niece reportedly testified before a *different* grand jury, telling them that she had lived there for many years without paying rent. James visits regularly.

She was not asked to testify again, and the grand jury that voted to indict Ms. James was not seated in Norfolk, but in Alexandria. The specter of Mr. Trump's revenge campaign has so far overshadowed the facts of the case, given how he has pushed for Ms. James's punishment.

If James visits the home regularly then it is available to her for personal use, which means it is not a “rental investment property” as defined by the mortgage rider…and therefore negates the central claim of the indictment

Also: if you work for ICE, even if you’re not one of the ones arresting citizens or tackling 15-year-olds or zip-tying kids together and segregating them by race, you’re part of the mechanism making it happen, and you should suffer long-term social and post-regime-change consequences.

The most frustrating part of this is that a federal judge literally made a finding of fact of the evidence presented by the administration, a judge appointed by Trump, and that judge called the narrative untethered to facts, and the narrator, unreliable.

Agents have now asked multiple area housing associations to unlock main doors—so they can go door to door.
