Trump is a provocateur. He is purposely deploying troops to American cities to deliberately provoke incidents that could lead to a broader manufactured crisis of HIS own making. It is purposely designed to normalize his authoritarian rule. This is to intimidate the political opposition. Call it out!

Apropos of nothing in particular this morning, I've been told that, in essence, there are two things that physicians can't do at the White House medical unit: MRIs and surgeries. Virtually anything else can be done there if you have to or want to.

Response from Sam Lau, Spokesperson, @hrc.org, the nation's largest LGBTQ+ civil rights organization:

"Yes, Lt. Gov. Earle-Sears, that is indeed discrimination. Vote for Abigail Spanberger."

AS: My opponent has also previously said that she thinks it’s okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay. That is discrimination.

WES: That’s not discrimination! (2/2)

VA Gov debate:

Spanberger: my opponent has previously said that she does not think that gay couples should be allowed to marry

​Earle-Sears: That's not discrimination

​Spanberger: she thinks it's okay for someone to be fired from their job for being gay

​​Earle-Sears: that's not discrimination

Did the moderator ask if Winsome Earle-Sears was fine with the shit that comes out of the Mango Mussolini‘s mouth? I bet not.

Congratulations to Maria Corina Machado, recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize - her incredible optimism has already changed her country. I spoke to her, and wrote about her, at the beginning of this year:

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

My full statement:
New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

No one should be surprised that Donald Trump is employing fascist tactics—prosecuting his opponents, weaponizing the federal government, and attacking the very fabric of our democracy. And Trump should not be surprised when millions of Americans stand up to his authoritarianism and his greed.

If Trump wants to leverage baseless charges to visit political retribution on New York’s Attorney General, he’ll have to go through New Yorkers first. The Attorney General has had our back, time and again. We have hers.

Today would not be a good day for any cabinet member to visit the White House. And by all means, they should stay away from the Oval Office.

I know this isn’t the point but is it normal for DHS officials to stay at a Ritz-Carlton on work trips?

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports.

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.

Republicans in Congress strangely silent on the Argentina bailout to benefit Bessent’s friends.

It also helps you to avoid talking about it when you are never asked about it.
