So, when does Luigi get out, cause America has a few more “for profit” industries, that clearly need the oversight of We The People.
Think he would be a qualified executor for that department. Just sayin’.

"The courts have no job to do here other than read the plain language of the Constitution." And so far, with the exception of one very big, important court, they're doing it.

Courts Keep Smacking Down Trump’s Lawless Attempt to End Birthright Citizenship

But he keeps plugging away—believing his allies on the Supreme Court will ultimately side with him.

Pritzker was like, “I hear they’re calling protests music festivals to get media coverage. Hold my beer- and let’s do the symphony of democracy in the river.”

“The first sign went up along the river in 2007. In 2008, it was stolen. Eight years later, its replacement was riddled with bullet holes in multiple acts of vandalism. And last month, the third sign was put up near the river. Only 35 days went by before it was shot up.”

Emmett Till’s memorial sign was riddled with bullet holes. 35 days after being replaced, it was shot up again | CNN

It’s the third sign to go up at the site outside Glendora, Mississippi, near where the 14-year-old’s body was pulled from the Tallahatchie River in 1955.

"Police say Brent Jones, 26, urinated in the reflecting pool and stomped on and broke the eternal flame at the site."

A no-brainer: Pam Bondi could pretend to be a both-sides advocate of justice by staging an outraged press conference and pledging to prosecute this guy. But she won't.

We actually do know who quite a few of them are.
It’s actually not hard to boycott most of their businesses. If money is the only language they understand, we have to yank the Blue money from them.

CEOs are now recommending to Trump where to send the national guard next. Kind of makes me think this whole authoritarian thing is cover for the same class war that's been happening in America forever.

Silicon Valley tech boss Marc Benioff says he's all for Trump sending troops to San Francisco since 'we don't have enough cops' | Fortune

“We don’t have enough cops, so if they can be cops, I’m all for it,” Benioff told The New York Times on Friday.

Seeing a lot of celebration of this as a win.

But at NIH we have seen this exact play before.

It looks like it is the Vought strategy -and to stop the lawless firings we have to see the bigger picture.

But it took weeks or months of confusion before some had their (lawless) RIF notices revoked.

As was widely reported, several NIH scientists, including a major-award-winning Parkinson’s researcher, weren't fully de-RIF’d until @durbin.senate.gov caught out RFK Jr at a Senate hearing about them.

RFK Jr. told Congress no working scientists were fired, but these top NIH brain scientists are still facing job cuts

"As far as I know, we have not fired any working scientists," RFK Jr. had told Congress.

So to summarize:

- There is a pattern where Vought makes the RIFs too wide, apparently to flood the zone with sh*t and see who will draw protests.
- They restore some people after outrage and work by us.
- But we are still left with many who remain fired at the end.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!
