This is a story in pictures about some drama that took place on our hillside. These momma deer and turkeys were doing their thing together on the hillside. I ran up to get my camera and when I came back, they were on high alert.

For the people around him, like Miller and Vought... his dementia means they have even more power and they'll fight anyone who talks about removing him because of it. I wonder if trump even knows... they might keep it from him for fear of his reaction.

Guess they should have thought of that before they actively worked to elect and support a mentally declining 34x convicted lying criminal, pedophile who incited an insurrection who believes he has plenary power.

WSJ reports that DOJ is going to charge John Bolton.

In case you needed anyone less sympathetic to rally behind than Jim Comey.

Prosecutors in Maryland are expected in coming days to charge one of Trump’s first-term national security advisers, John Bolton, now a top Trump critic, with mishandling classified information, according to people familiar with the matter.

One thing @govpritzker.illinois.gov does here, which WE ALL need to do more often, is lead with Trump's crimes.

A sex assaulted fraudster serial felon who freed HUNDREDS of cop assailants--and some terrorists--on his first day is trying to claim Democrats are criminals.

This is exactly why ICE needs to be unmasked and ID’d — like cops.

📌 Cases of ICE impersonators this year alone outnumber the last four presidential terms combined.

None of this happened in Portland. It only happened in Trump’s dementia-addled brain.

Hi @cnn.com -

On behalf of the 2/3s of Americans who DID NOT VOTE for Trump, pls STOP reporting on what he SAYS (LIES) and start reporting on what he DOES (LIES).

Best,
The Majority

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Very relevant and useful distinction:

Adam Bonica @adambonica.bsky.social · 11h

As the Supreme Court term begins, keep this framework in mind: Autocratic Legalism.

Instead of “rule of law” (law constrains the power), we get “rule by law” (law as a weapon for power).

Authoritarians usually have to install allies. Trump started his second term with that step already complete.

The only effective opposition is through the language of morality and documented harm—not legal technicalities that can be swept away with a 6–3 vote.” The text is centered on a neutral background, with “morality” and “documented harm” slightly emphasized to underscore the moral and empirical contrast with “legal technicalities.”

All considered, Bondi now ranks as the White House’s least favorite Cabinet secretary, according to an informal survey of several presidential advisers by Wired’s newsletter.

“Worst, Bondi,” they begin. “2/ Bondi. 3/ Bondi. 4/ Bondi. 5/ HegsethRFKTulsiNoem.”

Guess Which Two Cabinet Members Trump Advisers Hate the Most?

Donald Trump’s advisers are pretty clear on who they think will get fired first.

“This is a man who’s suffering dementia,” said @govpritzker.illinois.gov. “This is a man who has something stuck in his head … He doesn’t read. He doesn’t know anything that’s up to date. It’s just something in the recesses of his brain that is effectuating to have him call out these cities.”

Gov. JB Pritzker says President Trump deploying troops to Chicago due to ‘dementia’ and obsessive fixations

Democratic governor’s comments came as he continues to oppose President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago area for deportation efforts.
