They’re making it look like money is going to ⬇️, but it isn’t.

My next post will list the accounts I found that were all posting the same content, including links to (supposed) candidates, that were actually PRO PAC.

Ellis rules that the plaintiffs have standing for their case. She cites the "ongoing and sustained record of conduct" by federal agents gathered over the last month.

She further finds the plaintiffs have plausibly shown feds have "frustrated" efforts to "protect journalist safety."

The question isn’t whether ICE has become secret police or its functioning legally within very bad law. Very bad law made it possible for form secret police.

Posobiec, 2024

talkingpointsmemo.com/news/making-...

Beyond his post-Trump shooting tweet, Posobiec has been even more explicit that he sees this “spiritual” battle as one against democracy itself. In February, in speeches to the Conservative Political Action Conference, he pledged to “overthrow” democracy and support January 6 insurrectionists. “We didn’t get all the way there on Jan. 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it,” he said in one speech. In another, he said, “after we burn that swamp to the ground, we will establish the new American republic on its ashes, and our first order of business will be righteous retribution for those who betrayed America.” At the far right National Conservatism conference in Washington, D.C. earlier this month, where now-vice presidential nominee J.D. Vance also spoke, Posobiec laid out a fascistic vision for defeating “un-humans.” (He was also promoting his new book of that title, which has been endorsed by Donald Trump, Jr. and disgraced former Trump national security advisor and stolen election conspiracy theorist Michael Flynn.) Posobiec praised Joseph McCarthy and Viktor Orbán; he called for “investigations to identify the neo-cultural Marxists in seats of power all across Washington.” According to a transcript of the NatCon speech posted by journalist Hamilton Nolan, Posobiec said, “We don’t negotiate with globalist neo-Marxists. We don’t negotiate with the political version of an auto-immune disease. In a word, ladies and gentlemen — taken from the title of my book — we don’t negotiate with un-humans. Because that’s the stakes of this battle: humanity versus un-humanity. Populist nationalists versus atheist Marxist globalists. Strength, beauty, and genius versus weakness, ugliness, and stupidity. Civilization versus barbarism. Crime and chaos versus law and order.”

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

"She’s ready to work," Rep. Nanette Barragan (D-Calif.) says of Grijalva. "It’s a real disservice ... to those constituents that voted for her that she’s not being sworn in."

She adds, "Of course, we know she is set to be the last signature on the [Epstein] discharge petition."

Jeffries says Dems "have made clear privately and publicly" to Mike Johnson that Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) must be sworn in.

"Why the delay?" he asks. "Does it have anything to do with Republicans continuing effort to hide the Epstein files from the American people?"
