Dance party protests might be one of the best moves right now.

These make fascists look ridiculous, counter the "Portland is dangerous" narrative, and showcase joy and community at a time when those things are in short supply. Keep it up.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

This WH liaison's actions were a clear attempt to exert power and create an uncomfortable, potentially unsafe situation for his co-worker.

A human resources complaint was eventually filed, but was retracted days later, as she feared retaliation. No one is safe.

Sometimes….I just have to remind people…Trump is old…and in poor health. And don’t give me a hard time about calling “79,” old. When you’ve never exercised and eaten fast food your entire miserable life…79 is the new 97.

In late July, Paul Ingrassia, the White House liaison for the Department of Homeland Security, arrived at a Ritz-Carlton in Orlando with a lower-ranking female colleague and others from their department. When the group reached the front desk, the woman learned she didn't have a hotel room.
Ingrassia then informed her that she would be staying with him, according to five administration officials familiar with the episode. Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him, three of those officials said.

The ‘currency swap’ has been finalized. Argentina got their $20 billion and gave us an unknown number of pesos, while he cuts healthcare and human services for Americans. Don’t call it a bailout, they say — it’s like saying tariffs aren’t taxes. What happened to America First?

Shutting down the House is not a strategy. It’s an abdication. A failure. And yes, an embarrassment. Even MTG is calling out the GOP for shutting down the government.

You know who takes a cognitive test? People whose family members suspect their loved one is suffering from dementia. If he kept getting “perfect” scores…they wouldn’t keep administering them. My take? He blew the first one he ever took. Now, they’re tracking the decline. I’d bet my hot coffee on it.
