Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.

I refuse to let hopelessness prevail. This may just be one essay, by a lawyer few have heard of, in a newsletter read by a fraction of the public. But I will not stay silent.

Will you?

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN. “If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

Why has Dominion Voting Systems been settling defamation lawsuits with Trump allies who falsely claimed the company stole the 2020 election?

Because Dominion has just been bought by a company run by a former GOP election official.

Be warned.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

I can’t say enough good things about this novel. Brilliantly executed - I couldn’t put it down! It’s the kind of work that makes me want to be a better writer.

If you’re in the Eastern District of Virginia and you get a jury summons, maybe don’t sit this one out. You could end up on a Jim Comey or Tish James case.

I understand Miller doesn’t like being called Goebbels, but maybe - and I’m just spitballing here - he should stop plagiarizing Goebbels speeches

Nursing and doctor shortages aren’t real. They’re manufactured by hospitals that refuse to put patient safety first over profits by hiring enough staff.

You can thank private equity for that‼️

Pritzker: Trump looked at the cameras and asked for me personally to say, Mr. President, can you do us the honor of protecting our city? Instead, I say, Mr. President, do not come to Chicago.

Your remarks about this effort have betrayed a continuing slip in your mental faculties

Lavrov’s response 3 times is to insist that Russia has “never, ever targeted civilian sites.” So the apartment buildings and hospitals we see in flames every day and bodies of civilians is all made up apparently. This is who they are - liars and barbarians.

What we see happening in real time is actually part of Martial Law. Oh, it hasn’t been officially declared, but his federal takeover plans for cities across the nation…under the cloak of “attacking crime,” is pre-positioning for when he does. It will happen prior to the November elections. Watch.
