Yes, Schiff. They will start to beat and arrest us in the streets. My state is handing over voter rolls. Since I’m a democrat, I guess I’m on a ”list” of theirs as well. Soon we all will.

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

I think this was the Floridian they just arrested for intentionally starting the fires in CA.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

so let me get this straight:

Abbott and Trump just violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which technically means Texas has declared war on Illinois, thus Texas has done a declaration of war on the United States?

NEW: TN’s Senators Blackburn & Hagerty joined Republicans in blocking a resolution that would’ve forced Trump to get congressional approval for targeted killings.

AP: The Trump admin hasn’t shown Congress any evidence that the targeted boats were smuggling drugs.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

I do too. He's not running the country. Yes, he lies. But he seems to not know anything about what's going on. Someone is feeding him lines.

Eric Swallwell (D-CA) says it’s coming to an end and House Republicans are privately breaking, that a “jailbreak” is brewing the moment the Epstein files hit the floor, and that Trump’s aura of fear is finally cracking.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

feels like it should be a big deal that the president is directing the invasion of american cities based on what are almost certainly AI videos shown to him by his staff

maybe one of our ostensible news organizations could track down exactly what it is that he's seeing

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

That's what I don't get. What makes these people lie, cheat and steal? It can't be just for money. From Scott Jennings to Trump, I don't get what makes these people tick. When I go out, I want to be proud that I held strong to my values.
