"I’ve spoken to a lot of House Republicans this week and they’ve confided that Trump’s movement/support is fading. As one told me, 'this Epstein bomb is about to drop and no want wants to defend a pedo-protector. It’s just a matter of time.'"

"The military can be called in to assist civilian authorities only under the most extreme scenarios," @lizagoitein.bsky.social tells @wbur.org. And "the facts on the ground" in Chicago and Portland "do not justify military deployment."

Could Trump invoke the Insurrection Act to police cities?

President Trump posted that both the mayor of Chicago and the governor of Illinois should both be jailed for “failing to protect ICE officers.”

We aren't on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We are in the middle of it.

But I worry people don't see the whole scheme. They just pay attention to each new daily outrage. So I went to the Senate floor to explain Trump's plan.

Here's a 🧵of the speech. It's important.

Billed as "Formerly the Warlocks" and only ticketed locally, the show was a Deadhead's dream. The boys reveled in the atmosphere, breaking out Help> Slip> Franklin's after a 4-year hiatus, dropping a magnificent Morning Dew, and giving us so much more magic. gratefuldeadoftheday.com/10-08-1989

Jack Kerouac wrote “On the Road” during a 20-day marathon, typing it out on a single 120-foot-long scroll of paper.

The stream of consciousness in our Notes app doesn’t have quite the same gravitas.

5:39pm EDT: Moon meets up with Eris and then Chiron at 25 degrees, 16 minutes and 19 minutes Aries, respectively. New 30-day cycles around our soul's wounds and how they have contributed to make us who we are. Don't give up on yourself: feel the way you feel.
