Annals in sane-washing. When I checked NYT, WSJ, Politico, and WaPo for a story abt how Trump invited PizzaGate guy to the White House and declared an end to the First Amendment, this single story that mentioned it was on top of WaPo. Now it's buried.

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A story headlined, Trump builds case for deploying National Guard to Chicago, Portland The president said he would pursue designating antifa a "foreign terrorist organization" and called for Democratic officials in Chicago to be jailed.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday looked to bolster his public case for deploying the National Guard to Chicago and Portland, Oregon, cities where he claims Democrat politicians have failed to protect journalists and Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents from people whom he sees as left-wing domestic terrorists.

Trump said during a televised meeting at the White House that he would pursue designating antifa as a “foreign terrorist organization” — a label that would allow for key financial and legal penalties because foreign entities are not protected by the First Amendment. Proponents of antifa — a political protest movement composed of unaffiliated groups — militantly oppose fascism, right-wing ideologies and are often anti-capitalist or anti-state.

Trump also repeated a call he had made earlier in the day for Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker, both Democrats, to be jailed, accusing them without evidence of “failing to protect” ICE officers who have been sent to the city.

His statements and other remarks given by top aides during a 2½-hour event laid out a legal and moral case for the administration’s push to send National Guard troops into U.S. cities. Designated foreign terrorist groups can face financial sanctions imposed by the Treasury Department. The Justice Department can prosecute supporters under enhanced charges of providing “material support” to a terrorist group.

Gov. JB Pritzker on Trump: "He likes to pretend to be a tough guy. Come and get me."

"What kind of a country are we living in where the President of the United States is targeting his political opponents?"

Sens. Ruben Gallego and Mark Kelly confronted Mike Johnson outside his office for delaying the swearing in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva.

"You just don't want her to be in the Epstein discharge petition."

Gallego told reporters Johnson was 'cover[ing] up for pedophiles on the Epstein list.'

Yet another incident that would’ve gotten any other president immediately impeached that is only the 127th worst thing Trump has done in 2025.

It’s such a relief to know this admin is always working so hard to lower prices, create jobs, reduce the cost of healthcare, and make home ownership affordable.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.

"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."

Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · May 20

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

This is what I’m saying. The same Larry Ellison Trump is trying to give control of TikTok. None of which says good things about Larry Ellison given Trump likes him apparently

Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

There’s a reason federal prosecutors didn’t want this indictment to happen. They have insufficient evidence to indict Comey. Not that it can't happen anyway in a Nazi regime.

Josh Hawley was that self-important prick in high school...who could not back up the aura he intentionally projected. Had he gone to an inner city school, he'd have been even skinnier...from having his lunch money stolen every day.

Tracking ICE is a start; but what is needed is for local officials to demand to see judge signed arrest warrants with particular names on them. If not shown, ICE should be detained for kidnapping.

I wonder if a class action suit would work: petitioning for a court order to involuntarily commit Rump for psych evaluation AS A DANGER TO HIMSELF OR OTHERS. That's generally the criterion. (Oh, and his little maniac Bob Jr, too.)

Who’s playing 2020 videos of Portland for Trump and telling him they are current? How stupid or just a fucking moron he is. Portland is beautiful. Not on fire. No riots. Grandpa has lost all reality (or he’s lying like the lying liar he is) Or…both #Voices4Victory #ProudBlue

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."
