“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

NEW: A Ninth Circuit panel temporarily permits the federalization but NOT the deployment of National Guard troops in Oregon, in advance of tomorrow's oral arguments.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

In the circumstances here, granting an administrative stay will best preserve the status quo. Prior to the October 4 temporary restraining order, Oregon National Guard members had been federalized but not deployed. The Memorandum
authorized federalization of the Oregon National Guard members. An
administrative stay of the October 4 temporary restraining order will maintain the
federalization of Oregon National Guard members, because that order prohibits
implementation of the Memorandum. Additionally, the second temporary
restraining order has not been challenged or appealed, and it prohibits the
deployment of National Guard members in Oregon. Thus, the effect of granting an administrative stay preserves the status quo in which National Guard members have been federalized but not deployed.
Administrative Stay GRANTED.

Just here with a handful of press waiting to see if we can catch the Texas National Guard arriving in Broadview tonight.

Every other outlet reporting that House Republicans are in open revolt while the Senate Republicans feel boxed in, but yeah, the Free Press has its finger right on the meme pulse of things.

Jack collaborated with neo-Nazi twins to make a documentary. He was a fan of white supremacist Richard Spencer. He has tweeted 1488, the alphanumeric code for Heil Hitler. He wrote an unreadable anti-antifa book. Last year he wrote a book abt the left called “Unhumans.” That he’s now speaking here…

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

Notable about today’s WH roundtable on Antifa, IMO: not just one outside law enforcement/public safety official brought in for it. Bondi, Patel for administration, but no police chief, state Public Safety Secy, sheriff, etc. Just a dozen right-wing “journalists”. …

The administration’s current approach to “the cartels” is bombing civilians who they accuse of being part of cartels and killing them without any arrest or trial. And Bondi just said that they plan to “take the same approach” with antifa as they did with drug cartels.

I can't wrap my head around how bonkers this is. Here's a man who has posted Neo-Nazi memes with extensive ties to white supremacist groups, telling the President about the dangers of Antifa by connecting its modern incarnation with the anti-Nazi movement in 1930s Germany, like it's a bad thing.

Justin Baragona @justinbaragona.bsky.social · 4h

Incredible.

Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.
