Happy Birthday to the great Larry Tribe, brilliant professor and scholar, freedom fighter in retirement, indispensable champion of constitutional democracy and the rule of law. Take a modest part of the evening off to enjoy!

The condescending attitude. Dude, we don't care what's on your social media. Your JOB is to negotiate with the opposition, and reach an agreement. That's why we have so MANY Congresscritters. If we wanted "our way or the highway", we would have kept mad King George 249 years ago!

No. This is the blanket that trans-ifies them.

If "illegals" taking American jobs is such a concern, where are the prosecutions of employers? Why are the people profiting most not sharing their employees' legal responsibility? How about that "one tier justice system"?

Rep. Khanna: Bondi didn't want to answer the question about whether there were pictures of Trump with young girls. Then she has the gall to tweet out she believes in one tier of justice for all Americans. What about the rich and powerful men in the Epstein files?

I'm starting to think the ONLY thing Trump knows is the last thing somebody just told him. Anybody.

We need to understand that if anybody is engaging in violent behavior, we MOVE AWAY from that person. "Coventry" them. Everybody stays 10 feet away, and nobody interferes with that person's arrest. He or she puts us ALL in danger by inviting police escalation, and the fascists have better gear.

There is no documentation any more. They went after National Archives and Records Administration back in March, probably because those pesky documentation requests were getting annoying. I bet they do it all on Signal, with auto-delete set to one week.

And "obstructing federal law enforcement" includes standing across the street in an inflatable frog costume. Got it.

Absolutely. And some on my side will point out the convenient timing, the day after the President basically declared most Democrats terrorists who hate America.

As federal workers go unpaid, Trump’s grift keeps ticking.
Newsmax is hawking a $500 “Trump watch”, billed as a symbol of “American greatness.”🙄

Nothing says leadership like selling overpriced merch during your own shutdown.
The only thing he’s keeping on time is the grift. ⏱️

They obviously sent out the new catchphrases this morning. "Hate America rally" is the new name for No Kings rallies. So I guess the Declaration of Independence is a "Hate The Colonies Document"

The $20 billion bailout of Argentina is happening, but there’s no money to lower healthcare costs for Americans?

The Speaker of the House is telling the Fox News audience that a peaceful demonstration by Americans on the National Mall will actually be a gathering of organizations the administration has designated as violent terrorists.

Seems bad?

Mike Johnson: "We're so angry about it. I mean, I'm a very patient guy, but I've had it with these people. The theory we have right now -- they have a hate America rally that's scheduled for October 18 on the National Mall. It's the pro-Hamas wing and antifa people ... "

"No Kings" translates to "Hate America" in their minds. It sounds like they need a refresher course in colonial American history.
