I found this map showing which states used Dominion Voting Machines in the 2024 race. With an election denier as the new owner of Dominion which is now Liberty vote, I definitely would advise all states to get out of their contract with them & find a new one.

Usually presidents don't have much of a direct impact on the economy. But in 2025, the downturn is ALL Trump. It's his tariffs, his shutdown, his ICE raids, his health care cuts.

When I talked to bystanders they said agents accused Brockman of “obstruction,” which sure sounds a lot different than this DHS claim

CJ Ciaramella @cjciaramella.bsky.social · 2d

UPDATE: In emailed statement to me / @reason.com, DHS alleges that WGN-TV producer Debbie Brockman "threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer."

Screencap of email from DHS public affairs: Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin:

“U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations and when several violent agitators used their vehicles to block in agents in an effort to impede and assault federal officers. In fear of public safety and of law enforcement, officers used their service vehicle to strike a suspect’s vehicle and create an opening. As agents were driving, Deborah Brockman, a U.S. citizen, threw objects at Border Patrol’s car and she was placed under arrest for assault on a federal law enforcement officer.

“This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of illegal aliens violently resisting arrest and agitators and criminals ramming cars into our law enforcement officers. These attacks highlight the dangers our law enforcement officers face daily—all while receiving no pay thanks to the Democrats’ government shutdown.”

The nation’s largest private prison company is asking the Supreme Court to give federal contractors blanket immunity from lawsuits — including human trafficking claims.

If they win, private contractors could operate with even less accountability than they do now.

The Human Trafficking Case That Could Hand Government Contractors Blanket Immunity

In a little-noticed Supreme Court case, the country’s largest private prison operator argues companies should be shielded from lawsuits when doing the government’s dirty work.

Could you imagine having a job where you've called off all but 12 days in 79 days, and still have that job?

Yea me neither.

But the MAGA republican regime thinks that's OK, and if we check their CR, we would probably find they gave themselves raises again.

For doing nothing.

Federal agents aren’t trying to keep the peace. They want violence to escalate so that Trump can declare martial law.

They shot a reverend in the head with pepper balls while he was praying in front of an ICE facility. If that doesn’t tell you where we are as a country, nothing will.

Yes indeed. My very first response; cold knot in my gut, and a feeling of being lightly electrically shocked as the cortisol hit my system.

If they wanted an airbase, we got SW areas better suited. This is something else.

That decision bears some thought. I’d have to think about it carefully for about an hour or two. Are we talking shark infested waters? Near the Straight of Hormuz (some real predators in those waters)? Are there rescue craft with which to interfere? Is he floating like a bobber bc he a chonk? 🤔
