Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. Let me explain what’s going on.

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Any bailout for the "Farmageddon" caused by tariffs might just pay farmers back with their own money (via Bloomberg Opinion)

‘Farmageddon’ Can’t Be Solved With a Bailout Alone

It’s harvest time in the Midwest and farmers are bringing in bumper crops of soybeans, corn and wheat. They should be elated.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

Voters in California who live more than 50 miles from a USPS regional mail center must mail their VBM ballots AT LEAST ONE DAY BEFORE ELECTION DAY to ensure they're postmarked on time and counted. Ballots mailed on ED will be postmarked the following day, making them ineligible.

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

It is also the PERFECT justification for Mayors & Governors to form special police task forces to engage with *any* suspicious DHS-style activities to see if they are legitimate.

Not only would this curb criminal copycats, but would give residents a resource when facing ICE overreach.

CoachN @coachn.bsky.social · 12d

I’ll reiterate the fact that I have gone to my County board demanding they prepare our police to counter DHS & copycat criminality.

If you live in a blue city or state, I highly recommend you do as well as there is NO time to lose./1

CoachN @coachn.bsky.social · 29d

I’m just going to keep banging this drum until I see real action from Mayors and Governors.

Homan is telegraphing the regime’s battle plan for this “soft civil war.” Counties, cities, and states have “soldiers” too — they’re called the police.

DHS overreach & criminal copycats are a crime wave.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

Hard to imagine even hard-core MAGA buying this BS anymore. Not even sure why Thune and Johnson try it.

Smarter to deflect to the culture wars they built their constituency on. They lose the matters of substance because they have none.

It’s a long thread, but @editorialboard.bsky.social really hits it with his comparison of Herr Miller to Wormtongue; using the TV and social media The Mad King obsesses over in order to pour poisonous lies into his severely compromised ear.

The Editorial Board @editorialboard.bsky.social · 21h

1. Today, I have a few things to say about that putz Stephen Miller. First, he’s been on TV a lot lately, because that’s how he pours more poison into the president’s already-poisoned brain.

Curious to see if this has real ramifications on Orbán, as the evidence as presented here looks damning. I’m not an expert on EU regulations, but this seems like something that could lead to severe sanction or even expulsion.
