Smokey the Bear wearing California shorts and a California hat pointing to a blackboard that says, “vote yes on prop 50 redistricting. Remember! Only you can prevent fascism”.

There’s also what looks like an armadillo and a deer in front of the blackboard. Smokey is holding a shovel.

There was a mass shooting in South Carolina last night and all we get from the GOP is thoughts and prayers.

Here’s my plan.

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."

Hard to say which is more offensive:

JD Vance’s lie that they have to fire federal workers in order to pay for other services-right after they gave a $20 billion bailout to Argentina

Or the utter disdain with which he speaks about the government workers they just terminated

WELKER: During the 2019 shutdown when Trump was president, no federal workers were laid off. Why are these firings necessary?

VANCE: Who do we care more about- federal bureaucrats or the troops getting the payment they need?

WELKER: But layoffs are a priority?

VANCE: They have forced us to choose

Sens. Schumer, Merkley, Murray, and Peters are calling for the resignation of OMB Director Russell Vought.

"By impounding billions of dollars … and aggressively pursuing the illegal use of pocket rescissions, Vought has done everything in his power to gut the federal government piece by piece."

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels.

I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them.

Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy.

Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

Resignation letter from ousted longtime federal prosecutor in Eastern District of Virginia

It issues a scathing rebuke of Justice Dept leadership:

"The leadership is more concerned with punishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with protecting our national security"
