“I sort of intentionally deferred to others … “ - Sen. Lummis

IOW … 🙈 🙉 🙊
GOP Sen Lummis says she’s changed her mind after the new Epstein revelations today: “Initially my reaction to all this was, I don’t care. I don’t see what the big deal is. But now I see what the big deal is. The members of Congress who were pushing this were not wrong!”

“One of ours, All of yours” is not a direct quote from Nazi Germany. That said, "the Nazi Party employed collective punishment throughout World War II to hold entire communities accountable and retaliate against them for the death or injury of German soldiers."

History rhymes.

Wow … thank goodness a federal judge stepped up and called this for what is: the Trump Regime is attempting to sabotage the midterm elections. 🇺🇸❤️✊
NEW: A federal judge in Oregon issued a sweeping rebuke of the Justice Department’s nationwide push to seize state voter rolls, ruling that the department can no longer be presumed to be acting in good faith and warning that its conduct threatens voters and states’ rights.
Federal judge rules DOJ can ‘no longer’ be trusted in voter roll crusade
The judge pointed to a letter from Bondi to Minnesota that tied federal immigration enforcement to demands for voter data as the smoking gun.

Trump’s ICE/Immigration de-escalation exposed for the dog and pony show it really is ...
“An administration official gave away the game to Punchbowl News, admitting that these “de-escalatory measures” are about placating Senate Democrats so they don’t seize this moment to demand restrictions on ICE as part of any government funding package.”

One can only wonder what is going through the minds of military personnel today. Are they struggling with the upside down direction of this fascist regime, and if ordered to commit violence “as necessary” against Americans, will their “orders” overrule their conscience?
1/About 1,500 active-duty soldiers, two infantry battalions of the Army's 11th Airborne Division, are under prepare-to-deploy orders for possible action in Minnesota. This means Donald Trump is actively contemplating invoking the Insurrection Act.
