“America’s senior military officers, including Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Dan Caine, must approach Trump now and make clear to him that they will not obey illegal orders to act against American citizens or disrupt the American political process.”

Fascism doesn’t just come out and announce itself by killing people…

It starts with subtle dehumanising, subtle rhetoric, bits of propaganda…

Then it latches on to a crisis moment to double down on the rhetoric to get people on-side.

The killing is the last part.

Pritzker: "He said he was going after the worst of the worst. It's not going after the worst of the worst when you're just literally stopping children who happen to be brown & asking them for papers as if they're gonna have proof they're a citizen. Pull out your phones and film everything you see"

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Israel Hamas is NOT a done peace deal. At this point it is only a hostage release. Period. End of story. They have not settled on anything else. You know as well as zzI that Netanyahu will not leave Gaza. Zero peace!

I love the clip of Trump being handed a note about the Israel/ Hamas peace deal.
He stares at it, makes a few stupid faces and pretends to understand it, but says nothing.
Then, Marco Rubio comes over, whispers an explanation into his perfectly healed ear and he suddenly starts spouting self praise.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Seeing as how Antifa dates back to Weimar Germany... She either really old or they raised a German cemetery.

"Before we were Antifa we were the Originals, but we had to change our name because someone was already using that name. It was the Regulars, then they changed their name back to The Regulars and we thought, well, we could go back to The Originals but what's the point?"

They also could have brought up the bribe she took from Trump via a campaign contribution to end an investigation into Trump University.

I think they should have asked her "do you believe in an independent DOJ"? If she said yes "then why are you spending your time here trying to protect President Trump rather than answering our legitimate questions?"

Most of Dem Senators did not attack Bondi yesterday as they should have. Among other things they should have said, "You're lying again, Ms. Bondi" and "That's a bald-faced lie, Ms. Bondi."

The rapid rise of authoritarianism is no place for etiquette.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

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.

Has a single “journalist” in mainstream media asked Trump, Mike Johnson or John Thune why they haven’t used their Senate majority to override the 60 vote threshold and reopen the government?
