House Maj. Whip Tom Emmer called Oct. 18th’s No Kings rally a “terrorist” event.

Elmer is on the side of Jan 6th’s attack to overturn and overthrow a legitimate election.

The level of Anti-American fascism is off the charts. They want to provoke a confrontation. Be careful what you wish for Tom.

You would not fire these people—including the staff of the hugely, HUGELY important 'Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report'—if you cared at all about public health, if you wanted people to live.

And you would not let your thuggish henchmen fire people like this if you were a responsible president.

It simply should not be possible for the president to repeatedly claim that a major city is burning without a wall of live standups happening in that city clearly demonstrating that it is not

"OpenAI reached a deal last year to lease 90,000 square ft in the building, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal."

The Chicago minister who was targeted and attacked multiple times by ICE agents points out how undisciplined and poorly supervised they are. Makes sense. They are there to foment chaos.

California enacts law preventing TV ads from being of higher volume than the show being watched. An Obama-era law was in place since 2010, but the California law forces streaming services to comply with it. It was inspired by Baby Samantha.

I am going to keep from losing my mind by remembering that a.) they lose a lot of cases and b.) this is probably in large part a game of chicken over the budget, albeit one escalated by very powerful sociopaths.

A military explosives facility blew up in Tennessee, United States today.

Several people are still missing, there are reports that some have died, according to CNN.

Rescuers are not able to step in fully due to the risk of secondary explosions.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
