I’ve long assumed Trump will declare we are under “invasion”, and democrats and immigrants will become the targets of unlawful emergency powers.

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.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

Companies should have never been allowed to buy single family homes.

Mr Autumn Man @hartsunknown.blacksky.app · 16h

Private equity bought 1/3rd of the homes, making home buying unaffordable. Then they began buying apartment buildings, raising rents above monthly mortgage averages.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

The fact that so many US citizens have no idea Bad Bunny is also a US citizen (and don't believe he can be a US citizen) tells you that when they say "citizen," they really just mean white.

Anyone else find it suspicious that the clearly deteriorating Donald Trump is having a "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center *6 months after* his last "routine yearly checkup" at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center?

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

If you rename the Department of Defense the Department of War, then bomb fishing boats in the Caribbean, and shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper bullet, you should automatically be barred from receiving the Nobel Peace Prize for the rest of your life.

I knew Fox News was theater. I just didn't realize it was a repertory theater that recycles actors for different roles.

You'd think a company that had to pay $787,000,000 for deceiving its viewers would be a little more careful about blatantly continuing the practice.

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command.

The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

The authoritarian takeover of America is in full swing.

But they have no idea what they are getting themselves in for.

Watch America crumble when the states like California and New York no longer provide money for the United States.

I’m serious.

This will not go well.
