"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

If you look closely you will see pre prepared notes for how to attack Senators and blame the Democrats.

A cheat sheet for avoiding accountability.

It's stuff like this that gives me hope in the U.S. and that we're not all a bunch of sh*t heads! I've seen a lot of decency by a lot of people standing up for what is right. It's just too bad those at the top just don't care.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

How the Supreme Court could aid the GOP's redistricting games

If the court rules quickly enough in a key voting rights case, it could allow yet another round of partisan redistricting before the 2026 midterms.

It's interesting that Bondi can release records of former special counsel Jack Smith, but can't release the Epstein files. It's interesting how Bondi can indict Comey for a "supposed" lie, but not indict Homan for taking $50,000. DISBAR BONDI!

How Merrick Garland’s hesitation, Joe Biden’s restraint, and the Democratic addiction to “respectability” turned Arctic Frost into the right’s revenge weapon.

What began as a routine investigation became a propaganda gift...proof that caution without courage is a weapon aimed at yourself.
