Peaceful assembly isn’t an insurrection.

Storming the Capitol to hang your own vice-president and end democracy is.

A Very, Very Expensive Way to Reduce Crime

The Trump administration’s National Guard deployments are highly inefficient.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?

Bitch, stop lying!!! 🤬 You were in the street. You saw what did not take place. You saw there was nothing burning! So why did you go back to your boss and lie? There is no cover up. This is Portland. Yes, it stunk for a day only because you were there.

We ❤️ Portland. We know the truth.

1. This AM we learned Bari Weiss sent an email to CBS News staff asking them to submit a memo explaining how they spend their time and what’s working/not working.

Now, the Writers Guild, the union which reps some CBS News staff, says it has sent a demand to CBS to get more info about Bari’s request

Dear Guild Members:
We are aware that Bari Weiss sent an email asking CBS employees to provide information about their jobs and feedback about CBS News. Many of you have expressed concern to us about the purpose of the email, and we share those concerns. That is why we sent the company an immediate demand to provide information about the email by Monday. (Information request copied below.) We suggest that you refrain from responding until we are able to share the information that we receive so that you can make an informed decision by the Tuesday deadline.
Solidarity,
Michael Isaac, Director of
Broadcast/Cable/Streaming News
Brandon West, Field Representative
Sophie Martin, Field Representative

I know Mike Johnson says there is nothing for the House to do but there is.

You see by law a budget was supposed to be in place by Sept 30th, but Rs haven’t passed one. The reason? There isn’t a GOP budget. They haven’t even started working on one. This is what the House should be doing FFS!

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Don't be fooled. The only reason the USDA is barring Chinese nationals from buying U.S. farmland is that they want to be sure it is available for U.S. oligarchs to purchase on the cheap as the farms go into bankruptcy.

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”
