The idea that this discussion is just happening now is an idea that originates from the White House and is intended to leave the impression that Team Trump is simply reacting to facts on the ground.

That's a vile lie.

This man and his goons have *always* seen the Insurrection Act as their endgame.

When we lose our capacity to be outraged & shocked by the lawless, corrupt, dishonest, ignorant, cruel, un-American, fascist, & just plain horrible things Trump does every day, he wins. So stay outraged. Stay shocked. Don’t ever normalize him.👇 open.substack.com/pub/socialco...
You're Damn Right I'm Shocked

This reporting in WSJ makes it highly likely that the district court will dismiss the indictment Lindsey Halligan brought against James Comey on the grounds of vindictive or selective prosecution. This is a claim that is very difficult to prove. But here is the evidence.

If you are a federal worker, there are several credit unions and other financial institutions that are offering zero interest loans during the government shutdown.

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.

Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

With fewer than 60 lawyers, we are currently litigating 63 voting and election cases in 30 states — a number that will almost certainly rise in the weeks to come. The only thing that could cause it to fall anytime soon would be court closures resulting from the Republican-caused government shutdown.

There is no left-wing violence in Chicago or Portland. It simply is not happening.

It's so not happening, in fact, that Republicans in Oregon took footage from two South American countries to create a hoax photo about Portland.

They have no actual violent footage to put forward.

Trump critics like James Comey may never be convicted — but the long, expensive process itself can still be punishment, a law scholar writes.

For Trump’s perceived enemies, the process may be the punishment
Even when a prosecution fails to convict someone, the process of defending against charges can itself can be a form of punishment.

It'll take years to weed out all the corporate shills Trump installed in the government (oil lobby shills, anti-enviromentalists in enviromental protection positions, anti-science lunatics running science budgets and departments, etc).

The damage Trump did to America is immeasurable.

California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

A federal judge in Chicago has found that ICE conducted numerous illegal warrantless arrests in Illinois and nearby states in defiance of a 2022 consent decree. It also prepared post hoc arrest rationales after the fact based on details agents "did not know at the time they made the arrests". /1
ICE Violated Consent Decree With Warrantless Arrests, Federal Judge In Chicago Says
Attorneys argued that the recent arrest of an Albany Park family at Millennium Park violated a consent decree that limits the conditions under which federal agents can make warrantless arrests.

Every candidate for every position whether it’s for a judgeship, city council, school board or utility board member. They are all partisan so don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

From 2018, when many people wouldn’t take this question seriously. Three years before he tried to overthrow the election he lost. Seven years before he began sending troops into US cities and seeking revenge on top government officials. This has aged grimly well. www.motherjones.com/politics/201...
Does Donald Trump want to be dictator of the United States?
His behavior lines up alarmingly well with studies of authoritarianism.

Reverend David Black, other faith leaders, journalists, and protestors have joined a class action lawsuit alleging ICE violated their First Amendment rights during protests outside a detention center.

The brutality of this regime is on full display.

Well, I’m definitely for more leaders than what we have now the Republican leadership is spineless. The Democratic side is quiet because they’re overwhelmed and helpless.

So hopefully we get people like this who could stand up and fight for our democracy

At 21, Akbar Ali looks to be the youngest member of Georgia’s General Assembly. He’ll bring a much-needed perspective to the body, focusing on strengthening public schools and lowering costs for Georgia families.

Randy Villegas grew up on Medicaid & food assistance; the very programs Republicans like Rep. Valadao have gutted. While his opponents are raking in big money from the very corporations ripping us off, Randy is refusing corporate checks and is fighting for Medicare for All.
