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."

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.

GFY. You are a master at false equivalence and gross overstatement,

MTfromCC @mtfromcc.bsky.social · 26m

It's all they know how to do. Except maybe cheating at elections. They sure as hell don't know how to govern.

He's right. It's not a "both sides thing." Because it is not a "thing" at all. The only person who wanted Kirk dead was the guy who shot him, the son of an "all MAGA" family who were obsessed with firearms . . . a very confused, white Mormon gamer w/ no known or uncovered left wing ties. None.

No, she lost because of cheating by Trump and idiotic false equivalency by the American left.

I simply cannot wait until the day Trump is reunited with his bestie, Epstein.

Mayonnaise Miller glitches while falsely claiming Title 10 gives Trump Plenary Authority over the Armed Forces (ie. unlimited and unchecked power). Not even the Insurrection Act grants Plenary Authority.

MORE THEATRICS FROM REPUBLICAN LAWYERS?
Like Josh Hawley with his fist in the air at a coup....

THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT SERIOUS ABOUT GOVERNANCE.
THEY ARE SERIOUS ABOUT CONTROLLING FREE PEOPLE.

WE MUST STOP THEM.

WE MUST END THE REPUBLICAN PARTY OF HATERS.

All these headlines saying “Bondi Goes on the Attack.” Really? She wasn’t in the octagon, she’s a public servant who was at an oversight hearing. Her job was to answer questions. She refused to do her job. Stop glamorizing and whitewashing this moronic, performative bullshit.

Q: Do you agree that the mayor of Chicago and governor of Illinois should be in prison?

MIKE JOHNSON: Should they be in prison? I'm not the attorney general. I'm not following the day to day on that

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland.

That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead.

This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her.

Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis

David Dayen @ddayen.bsky.social · 5h

So this is funny.
The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Trump Labor Department Says His Immigration Raids Are Causing a Food Crisis

In a filing in the Federal Register, the Labor Department argues there are “immediate dangers to the American food supply” due to a lack of migrant agricultural workers.

Yesterday on CNN Stephen Miller said Trump has plenary authority. If you watch the video, you can tell it was a slip of the tongue — he instantly froze up after realizing he’d said the quiet part out loud.

Just to be clear, Trump does not have plenary power — yet.

We all know why Nigel Farage is accusing Labour of inciting violence against him while cutting his security. Because if he didn’t, people might remember to ask him who paid for his house in Clacton and why he hangs around with people who take bribes from Russians.
