NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

c’mon guys they’re just doing normal law enforcement stuff like hiding their identities and kidnapping people and brutalizing protesters and violating the constitution

"These are law enforcement operations, and these are law enforcement officers that are doing what they were sworn to do, and you can't interfere. The more people resist this in a violent fashion, the more violence is going to be used to defend the officers," Kushner said.

Hand them a urinal to carry. Neither of these have anything to do with protecting ICE. Not to mention that every thinking person knows it isn't ICE that needs protection, it is the rest of us that need protection from ICE. Go Johnson. Go Pritzker. Go Resistance!

Trump posted on Truth Social this morning claiming that Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker should be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.” Seriously? ICE officers are upset they can’t use restrooms or grab brunch.

No Miller didn't stroke out like Mitch.

He just told everyone what their next plan is. This falls right in line with the rest of the regime's actions since the start of the coup in 2016.

Plenary Authority. Sounds like something a tyrannical fascist regime would invoke for control.

The Trump administration is pushing "countries, financial institutions and businesses to roll back their climate change policies, using international forums ranging from the World Bank to stock market regulators." No concessions offered in return, just plain old-fashioned bullying.

The notion that Bari will be "running CBS News" is slightly misleading. What the reporting suggests is that Tom Cibrowski, a guy with normal qualifications, will be doing that. Bari will be Emperor Ellison's Vader-esque enforcer, outside the chain of command, intervening at will.
