Diehard, disappointed NY Yankee fan, but I adore MVP Aaron Judge. Diehard disappointed fan of Democracy. Sometime writer, researcher, piano-playing cook. Love my beautiful GSP

Shame, shame, shame on cowards Marco Rubio and Lindsey Graham in particular. These 2 know better: all their previous bluster about protecting America from Communism, and foreign threats, extinguished yesterday.History will not be kind.

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next

We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

She's a smug, brazen, reprehensible liar, but she knows the truth. She's seen those pictures of Trump and young girls. She knows that's her - and the boss' undoing - and that's why she plays offense; I think she's actually terrified.

Let's be honest: they all act this way, because, up-to-now, none of them held accountable for anything; I'd be smug, too. The rest of us would be jailed for so much less

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

Ms Ice in her Veins looked and sounded flustered. She's seen those photos and even this steely liar can't hide the truth

COLLINS: Pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell -- is that something you're open to doing?

TRUMP: Who are we talking about?

C: Ghislaine Maxwell

T: I haven't heard the name is so long. I can say this -- I'd have to take a look at it ... I will speak to the DOJ

C: She's convicted of child sex trafficking

Someone looking at all this with a cold eye might say that Miller and Hegseth are seeking control over the power ministries before a Vance ally invokes the 25th Amendment.

This guy's a freak, like Mike Johnson, Hegseth, Noem, even Vance: they're impeccable liars.

Christian nationalist fascism: when they lower masked Gestapo goons from helicopters in the night to smash apartment windows, terrorize residents, and zip-tie and kidnap children for not being white looking enough— and then violate the 1st Amendment by reciting scripture from a government account.

Sen. Schiff to NBC: "He's described me as the enemy within. He's described other Democratic elected officials as the enemy within. He is using the Justice Dept. to go after his political enemies, and he's using the Justice Dept. to protect his political friends … This should concern every American."
