I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Check the timestamps. On CNN’s website, the uploaded interview starts at 2:52. On their YouTube page, the upload starts at 2:47. The “plenary authority” comment by Miller was at 2:41, as shown in my side-by-side video post. CNN should be reporting on what Miller said. It’s news!

My latest blog post, Scotland stands at a fork in the road, democracy and decency with independence or impoverishment and authoritarianism in the UK.

The fork in the road
It’s customary to describe every upcoming election as critical. That’s always been the case with Scottish independence, as should the pro-independence parties fail to win a majority in …

Can’t decide which is the wilder use of “BREAKING” by a government official:

1. “BREAKING: I’m launching undercover operations” — Texas Attorney General

Or

2. “BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory” — FBI Director
FBI Director Kash Patel & @FBIDirectorKash X.com BREAKING: MSNBC still an ass clown factory of disinformation. Same circus animals that slobbered all over perp walks of Stone, Navarro, Bannon... MSNBC has no facts and no audience In this @fbi, follow the chain of command or get relieved. 9, Barb McQuade • @BarbMcQuade • 3d DOJ policy prohibits "perp walks," in which arrestees are paraded before the cameras. x.com/ jesserodriguez... 10:03 AM • 10/4/25 • 12M Views Attorney General Ken Paxton & @KenPaxtonTX X.com BREAKING: I'm launching undercover operations to infiltrate and uproot leftist terror cells in Texas. Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. ORNEY

Of course, people can only acknowledge race by practicing segregation. Right. Enjoy and off you go.

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants
