Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

A federal judge just asked the government if they're the cause of the violence in Chicago - whether this is of their own making.

Jon Seidel @jonseidel.bsky.social · 19h

Perry asks directly whether the feds started the alleged violence in Chicago.

She asks whether it matters if the inability to execute the law was "caused by the federal agents."

Hamilton: "No, your honor."

This. Seems like they let him do what he wants (going after political enemies, extorting private businesses, getting foreign billions through crypto, funneling billions through Argentina …etc) he signs the laws that benefits them

It’s a weekend at Bernie’s situation. They will keep propping him up and rolling him out as long as he just goes along with all of it. He couldn’t care less. They throw him an indictment or two of his enemies and he will sign any EO they put under his nose

This is exactly the situation. Also, the constant hand bruise is from whatever infusions they’re giving him to keep him upright. It won’t cure the dementia, but it will give him more energy/stamina so he does fall asleep as often.

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?
