It’s an ideology not an organization. These people want a bogeyman, and bogeymen are fictional.

Trump just installed Michael Ellis as CIA general counsel, possibly to green light legally dubious CIA ops to do this as an end run around congress.

Kelly: I really worry about those aviators, drone operators, special forces guys that are in the Caribbean right now striking these boats and whether or not this is legal..

There’s no authorization for the use of military force. The Congress has not given that to the president. He hasn’t asked.

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

Jeffries: "If Republicans continue to refuse to extend the ACA tax credits, tens of millions of people are about to experience dramatically increased premiums ... including in the state represented by Speaker Mike Johnson. In fact, in his own district, I believe premiums may increase by about 380%."

BREAM: Open enrollments starts in November. People are already getting notices about what they may pay. I mean, that's gotta be resolved.

MIKE JOHNSON: Yes, and they're eating up the clock in the month of October

(Johnson canceled the House in August to avoid taking votes on Epstein)

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

Lawyers for Luigi Mangione claim he wasn't read his rights before he was questioned by law enforcement officers, and they failed to obtain a warrant before searching his backpack.

BREAKING: Judge William Young finds that Noem, Rubio, DHS, and State "deliberately" sought to restrict non-citizens' First Amendment rights.

"'No law' means 'no law.' The First Amendment does not draw President Trump’s invidious distinction ...."

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

President Irump here makes clear that, in his view, the First Amendment's
protection of freedom of speech applies to American citizens
alone, and to an unconstitutionally narrow view of citizenship at that.
This case -- perhaps the most important ever to fall within
the jurisdiction of this district court -- squarely presents the
issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United
States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally "yes, they do." "No law" means "no law." The First Amendment does not draw President Trump's invidious
distinction and it is not to be found in our history ....

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
