So the argument for sending US troops into cities to be used against Americans is that Antifa has apparently taken over our cities and the troops have to battle them.

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.

Christ, even the access crew at Axios are dumping on Johnson and GOP

Things have to be really bad for Republicans when their pals at DC gossip outlets are piling on

Murshed Zaheed @murshedz.bsky.social · 18h

At this point Democrats in Congress shouldn't concede an inch unless Johnson and Thune meet all their demands.

Republican rank and file members know it - majority of public are siding with Dems over healthcare and tired of giving Trump blank checks. www.axios.com/2025/10/08/m...

This is well said. Trump and Noem need to back off before we have another Kent State tragedy.

Tweet from Aaron Reichlin-Melnick quoting Laura N. Rodríguez Presa.
Aaron’s comment: “DHS is an escalation spiral; the more they do things like this, the more people on the ground push back... and I'm deeply worried what the ultimate result will be.”
Laura’s tweet reads: “A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them... Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents ICE activity, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.”
Attached photo shows a federal agent inside a vehicle pointing a rifle out of the driver’s side window.

We’re not dealing with brilliant strategists cleverly laying traps, we’re dealing with impulsive whiners whose advantage is contempt for laws, norms, and morality.

They’re not pulling some elaborate trick, they’re just willing—even eager—to do things regular, principled people consider off limits.

I love how Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House and #2 in line for the presidency, is always like, “What? News?! I never read or hear anything that happens in the world, anywhere. I’m totally offline. What even is ‘social media’? They play news all day on TV!? Wow! That’s a surprise!”

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

Comey’s lawyer Pat Fitzgerald tells the court they will be filing a selective prosecution motion and I’m sure others as well. That’s the right move even though Comey had seemed rarin’ to go to trial.
Trial set forJanuary 5. EDVA moves fast, but not that fast given the motions practice. It will slip.

To dismantle democracy and give the Nazis total power, Hitler systematically dismantled civil liberties through pseudolegal means, used terror and intimidation against opponents, and purged all institutions.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

ACLU: "Never in modern times has the federal government undermined bedrock constitutional protections on this scale, or usurped states’ police power by directing federal agents to carry out an illegal mission against the people for the government’s own benefit."
