Doocy: Does this help get you into heaven?

Trump: I don’t think there’s anything that’s going to get me into heaven. I think I’m not heaven bound.

The #Broncos just look pathetic against the Jets - stupid, stupid penalties vs. an 0-5 team. What a joke so far. Really glad we got up and ready early to watch this debacle starting at 7:30a MT...

Maybe the Philly Inquirer could, I dunno, reach out to Pritzker's office to request a statement. Is he aware of/ok with this? Did he order this? Does he condemn it, or provide a 'no comment?' Would like to get that addressed before going further down the "both sides" drain.

I saw myself as maybe all in for J.B. Pritzker

But I am losing faith, rapidly.

Police state fascism in America is bigger than Trump. It's backed by Democrats just like Republicans. And it's not going anywhere

State police just started pushing people off the business park corner. Here in the road, a brave group of demonstrators are attempting to hold their line.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Why play defense? Why not call for CA, WA, OR and CO's combined National Guards take Wyoming, Montana, Idaho - sure, why not? Fair's fair, right?

Oh no - that would mean Civil War...But when Red States do it, all is well? Huh.

Compared to Dylan and Springsteen, country-music legend Johnny Cash can seem deeply uncool. It took time for me to appreciate his profound, plainspoken strength, writes Jon Fasman.

This is getting wild.

The states of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and 14 others have just asked for permission to file THEIR amicus brief in IL v. Trump.

The States of Iowa, Montana, Oklahoma, South Carolina and 14 additional States
respectfully move for leave to submit the attached amicus curiae brief in support of Defendants
and their opposition to Plaintiffs’ requested temporary restraining order and preliminary
injunction. Proposed amici are States with a vested interest in federalism, the relationship between
States and the federal government, and deploying the National Guard. We also each have a vital
interest in supporting the President and Congress in enacting and enforcing valid immigration
laws. Every State has a responsibility to protect our citizens.
The federalization of States’ National Guard units is a matter of profound public
importance, as it directly implicates the delicate balance of power between state and federal
governments—a true cornerstone of Federalism. States generally maintain authority over their
National Guard units, allowing governors to deploy them for state-specific needs, such as disaster
response or public safety. Federalization of state National Guard units without gubernatorial

Remember hearing from a now very senior sales-ads guy who had the Trump Org as a client many moons ago in NYC...Said Trump read at maybe a 4th grade level, at best - and that Trump is "functionally illiterate."

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 4d

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.
