They "look forward to working with the current administration to reinvigorate their brand image"🤣
My money's just as green as MAGA money! They'll never see one thin dime of it, tho. They're basically telling 1/2 the shopping population that they don't WANT their money! They created their own boycott

“The shutdown does not give Vought or the White House any extra powers, according to Bridget Dooling, a law professor at The Ohio State University who worked at OMB for over a decade.”

As the shutdown drags on, the threat of permanent cuts is mired in politics

President Trump is meeting with his budget director, Russ Vought, about what additional cuts to make during the shutdown, and the president says his targets are partisan.

NEW: A prosecutor fired abruptly while working on a terrorism case posted a BLISTERING open letter, warning that Bondi is "more concerned with punishing the President's perceived enemies than they are with protecting our national security."

Held: Trump's statements about Portland were "not 'conceived in good faith."

Chides defendants for "ignoring the facts on the ground."

Finally, the President’s own statements regarding the deployment of federalized National
Guardsmen further support that his determination was not “conceived in good faith” or “in the
face of the emergency and directly related to the quelling of the disorder or the prevention of its
continuance.” Newsom II, 141 F.4th at 1051 (emphasis in original) (quoting Sterling, 287 U.S. at
399–400). Despite the “minimal activity” outside the Portland ICE facility in the days preceding
September 27, 2025, Hughes Decl., Ex. 22, ECF 46-22 to Ex. 26, ECF 46-26, President Trump
directed Secretary Hegseth “to provide all necessary Troops to protect War ravaged Portland,
and any of our ICE Facilities under siege from attack by Antifa, and other domestic terrorists.”
Marshall Decl., Ex. 12, ECF 9-12. Two days before that directive, the President claimed that
Portland has “professional agitators” who are “paid a lot of money by rich people,” “anarchists,”
and “crazy people” who try to “burn down buildings, including federal buildings.” See Marshall
Decl., ECF 9 ¶ 26. Whatever the factual basis the President may have for these allegations,
nothing in the record suggests that anything of this sort was occurring “every night” outside the
Portland ICE building or in the City of Portland in the days or weeks leading up to his September
27 directive. Id.

Share with all you know in the military, no matter their rank! They need a reminder.

Reminder to all military. You took an oath to the constitution, not to the president or any other individual. Do not betray that oath.

Hundreds marched to Portland's ICE Detention Facility today and were met with tear gas.
Trump's deployment of 200 Oregon National Guard troops has turned a protest into a battlefield.
Protesters gathered peacefully at Elizabeth Caruthers Park, then blocked the street outside the facility.

Within minutes, federal agents poured out: tear gas filling the air, screams echoing through downtown.
Multiple protesters were arrested on the sidewalk, no warning, no aggression, just standing there.
By 1:20 pm, officers still fired tear-gas canisters into the crowd. "Law & order," they call it.

One of them, Steve Hall, a U.S. Army intelligence veteran, spoke for many:
"They (Guard troops) don't belong here. Our police force is adequate to take care of anything and everything."

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A.

ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why.

A judge has ordered his immediate release.

Someone in the press corps atoned after Yom Kippur and finally looked at how a majority of American Jews feel about Israel!

Been screaming at a cloud trying to explain this to Gentiles for years.

John Scalzi @scalzi.com · 4d

Important line in the story, of the US president: "...[H]is pro-Israel message sometimes appears aimed more at his conservative and evangelical Christian supporters than at American Jews, who he has complained are insufficiently appreciative of his positions on the Middle East."

Many American Jews sharply critical of Israel on Gaza, Post poll finds

Most Jews say Israel is committing war crimes — and 39 percent say genocide — while often distinguishing between the country and its leadership.

Even 59% of MAGA want ACA tax credits to stay. 70% of ACA enrollees would blame Trump or GOP if the credits expire. This is winnable. Keep calling your MOC (855-249-6462) to demand they restore healthcare (or thank them for standing strong for healthcare).

.........so some things charged that I wasn't expecting. I have narrowly avoided THOSE overdrafts but now I am basically back to zero.

I need all 170 again in the next six hours. 🫠
