Retiree along with brother, as housemate. Love to write, read, encourage, and laugh. Major fan of film noir and old films, road trips, small children’s giggles and being a community protector of our democracy. NO DMs🚫

Here are just some of the nearly 500 protestors who showed up to our No Kings event in red, rural Lebanon, OR (population 19,600). It was an exuberant, persistent, celebratory crowd.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Why would they do this now—when the news that Bessent is giving $40 billion to Argentina to ostensibly help bail out a pal—and DT is sharing details of his opulent ballroom? You can’t help but get the impression they aren’t worried about winning over voters ever again.

Apropos of nothing, once the President of the United States confirms covert CIA operations in a country… say, Venezuela, those operations are no longer covert.

And it puts CIA officers at significantly more risk.

“The 3.5% rule is a concept in political science that states that when 3.5% of the population of a country protest nonviolently against a government, that government is likely to fall from power.”

If you can get to a No Kings rally this Saturday, please do.

Dismantling the VRA is their plan. An all out attack on black/brown representation that would give Republicans a hammer-lock on power.

A potentially 20-plus house seat shift. Pay attention.

Pentagon beat reporters have been handing in their press passes all day long today. It is one of the most striking examples of news media solidarity we've seen this year.

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.

Trump and Vought are now breaking both sides of spending law. They’re illegally not spending where the law requires them to spend, and they’re illegally spending where they don’t have the money to spend.

What we have is an appropriations king.

Spending “deals” are meaningless under that setup.

The level of kleptocratic corruption in this regime is breathtaking, e.g.:

—Selling off Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae to big banks

—Bribes from ABC & CBS

—TikTok sale to Ellison

—Everything Qatar: the plane gift, the Idaho military base

—Whoever has bribed him by buying his scam meme coins

The homeowner told agents she would not allow them inside because the warrant they presented did not include her address and lacked a judge's signature.”
