A sad irony in Washington, D.C., where West Virginia National Guardsmen were shot today. Six days ago, a court ruled their deployment was illegal, but stayed the order pending appeal. My heart goes out to these public servants and their families. oag.dc.gov/sites/defaul...

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

This will probably not even make the front page of any significant national media org. That gives you some sense of how far through the looking glass we are.
The President of the United States is literally threatening opposing lawmakers with death for a video they made encouraging service members to refuse unlawful orders.
Trump posts again about Democrats, saying their behavior is “punishable by DEATH!”

Let’s be clear: the DOJ has already been subpoenaed to release these files to the Oversight Committee, and the deadline to turn them over has come and gone.

Now that this has passed in the House, the Senate needs to do its job, and the President needs to sign it.

Listen… Mike Johnson can claim he never tried to stop this, but the timeline tells the truth. If he wasn’t trying to bury this petition, we wouldn’t have spent weeks begging him to do the bare minimum.

Release the files.

Today, Nov 17, is the birthday of Sarah Humiston. She died at 42 in a 2024 family annihilation in Fall City, WA. Sarah was a faithful church member who enjoyed serving others. A gifted homeschool teacher to 5, she enjoyed reading, baking, cooking & chauffeuring her kids to their activities.

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov I want you to watch this video of me slammed to the ground- why are you allowing this to happen to people you know are on the right side of history. They tied my hands behind my back and when I asked them to be loosened because I was going numb they said, “STFU.”
at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd.

he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him.

situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

This is real. A government agency calling Americans performing their democratic right of protest “imbecilic morons.” This Trump regime is a poison and never should have gotten power. A total disgrace.

Brentlee should be 13 today.
He loved baseball & the outdoors.
He was a well mannered & kind student & friend.
Brentlee was killed in an accidental shooting.
In the US, accidents account for an estimated 37% of gunshot injuries. Our numbers are 4 times higher than peer countries.

The original Dem demands were:
1) Permanent ACA subsidies
2) Medicaid funding restored
3) No more blank checks for the regime (rescission)

They dropped Medicaid immediately. Went silent on rescission. Cut back to 1 year of subsidies on Friday. And surrendered today.
