AKSHULLY, I wrote a separate piece on Hegseth's military jamboree, and again, my issue was one I chose: The declining mental acuity of the man with the nuclear codes. You can read it here:

Only the military remains outside Trump’s grip. Despite the firing of several top officers—and his threat to fire more—the U.S. armed forces are still led by generals and admirals whose oath is to the Constitution, not the president. But for how long?

After yelling and obfuscating to senators for hours, Dick Durbin hit her with this one: "Eventually you are going to have to answer for your conduct in this. You won't do it today, but eventually you will." Suddenly, she went SILENT.🔥 She knows.

You're phucked, Pam....just sayin'

I don’t see Democrats ever doing that. What I hope they do when they get power back is immediately expand the court to 13 justices. One for each appellate court. I don’t see another way to reverse this disastrous course of making a mockery of the rule of law.

But they, like the current majority in Congress, are really dancing on the edge of rendering themselves merely a rubber stamp to an unrestrained executive.

The next Supreme Court term is shaping up to be the most consequential since 1937. Depending on how it rules, it may cease to be accepted as a legitimate arbiter, and even nullify its own power as an independent judiciary.

Shocking battle footage from war-ravaged Portland, as the
Portland Frog Suit Guy shakes his amphibian antifa butt at ICE officers in a most warlike manner. Domestic terror!

(Also he says in the video that he's fine after some ICEhole maced his suit's air vent the other day)

Video screenshot: Guy in an inflatable cartoony frog suit waves his butt at ICE agents in full battle gear in front of the ICE detention facility in Portland, while the cops fire gas rounds at the ground near protesters the entrance. At least not at anyone's head, this time.

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

DHS Secretary Noem is coming to Portland today because our city is "overrun with terrorists."

I mean, just look at all of these people running for their lives last Sunday!

Truly a dystopic nightmare.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

(RNS) — Last month, the Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility and spread his arms wide. Adorned in all black and wearing a clerical collar, the pastor looked up at a group of masked, heavily armed ICE agents on the roof and began to pray.

“I invited them to repentance,” Black, a minister in the Presbyterian Church (USA), said in an interview. “I basically offered an altar call. I invited them to come and receive that salvation, and be part of the kingdom that is coming.”

But when Black began to lower his arms a few seconds later, the agents responded to his spiritual plea by firing pepper balls, or chemical agents that cause eye irritation and respiratory distress, video footage shows. One struck Black in the head, exploding into a puff of white pepper smoke and forcing him to his knees. Fellow demonstrators rushed to his aid, and as the pastor rubbed his face in pain, the agents continued to fire.

“We could hear them laughing,” Black said.
