“Trump deploys troops to Portland, authorizing ‘full force’ if necessary.

“The action escalates a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent.”

Link: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Full story pictured:
By Michael Birnbaum President Donald Trump announced Saturday that he will send troops to Portland, Oregon, and to immigration detention facilities around the country, authorizing "Full Force, if necessary" and escalating a campaign to use the U.S. military against Americans that has little modern precedent. Trump said in a social media post that he was directing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to provide troops to what he dubbed "War ravaged Portland." Portland has been a target of right-wing politicians for the way it has handled racial-justice protests as well as its homeless population, tolerating encampments in the central part of the city. But Trump will again encounter the dynamic he did when he deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles - a military deployment in a state run by a Democratic governor who objects to the decision and will have grounds to fight it in court. It was not immediately clear whether Trump was ordering solely a National Guard deployment or a broader military operation. This is a developing story.

The Oklahoma Supreme Court has denied a stay on the new social studies standards set to take effect at the start of the 2025-2026 school year. The standards clearly violate the separation of church and state.

Statement from Americans United below.

Link to the story: kfor.com/news/oklahom...
Statement from Americans United: "While it's disappointing that the court has not taken immediate action to block implementation of Superintendent Ryan Walters' religiously coercive new social studies standards, Monday's ruling is not a final resolution of this case. We have presented a strong case to the court that Walters' new standards will violate students' and families' religious freedom by promoting one version of Christianity and advancing Christian Nationalist disinformation. We're hopeful for a final ruling in favor of our clients that protects religious freedom, public education and church-state separation for all Oklahomans."

The misinformation on facebook is out of control. It’s really sad how so many are brainwashed into believing obvious lies. It’s a full-time job correcting people. This one was awful (I’m obviously “Debra”):
Twitter post by Tom Fitton, reposted on Facebook by Wayne Wormald: Obama knew. Clinton knew. Biden knew. Comey knew. Brennan knew. McCabe knew. Strzok knew.Clapper knew.Schiff knew. Wray knew, FBI knew.DOJ knew. CIA knew. State knew. (And Fanni Willis, Jack Smith, Garland, and Alvin Bragg) They all knew (and know Trump was and is innocent but they smeared and spied on him. And they tried to jail him anyway. Worst series of gov't abuse scandals in nation's history. Trump is a crime victim. My reply to the post (pls forgive the typos): I'm not going to comment on all of the people who supposedly "knew" because I don't know what they supposedly knew. Skip down to "they also knew (and know) Trump was and is innocent but they smeared him spied on him." First of all, Trump isn't innocent. He was prosecuted, found guilty at one New York trial, and the other was dropped because he won the election. Secondly, the "smearing" was just startng facts. Thirdly, Trump was not "spied on." His campaign was under investigation but guidelines were followed. Pure propaganda. He deserves to be in jail for life crimes he committed! The rest of your drivel is just bs. You've fallen prey to disinformation from Russia, China, and Iran. Trump is in no way a "victim." Reply to me by Holly A Kovach: Yes, bugging Trump tower certainly wasn't "spying".🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ My reply to Holly: That didn't happen. Don't believe tweets, for crying out loud. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us- canada-39172635.amp Trump wiretapping claim: Did Obama bug his successor? bbc.com Reply to me by Wayne Wormald: Meme that states, “So trump won his appeal against the 34 felony counts you liberals like to throw out. Dropped the 34 charges and got his money back. Notice not one single media site talking about” My reply: Oh man, you were given incorrect information. He did not win his appeal.

Twitter is worse than a cesspool ffs. Worst take ever regarding Trump and the Epstein files, by far!
Twitter post by Azealia Banks (@azealiaslacewig): Ok in Donald Trumps defense -fucking 14 year old girls was really only made a social taboo in the 1990's. My grandmother was born in 1927 and had her first child when she was 12. Teenage pregnancy only become frowned upon with the rise of Jerry Springer and I also can be honest about the fact that I was old enough to choose, seduce and decide to fuck grown ass men when I was 15. I really don't get why women are fronting like they weren't fucking 40 year olds at 15 like come on now. I'm honestly not surprised or mad at Trump for getting some 15 year old pussy because those were the times. Goodnight USA for fucking ever. Now ... if he was fucking a TEN YEAR OLD???? .... We have a problem. But if the girls were 13+, - who cares move on Continuation of Twitter post by Azealia Banks (@azealiaslacewig): Because little Spanish girls be fucking at 13, in middle school with DD+ tits and giving very much - Humans are gonna do what humans are gonna do. EYE am not trying to fuck anything under the age of 45, but IT IS WHAT IT IS GOODNESS GRACIOUS, FORGET ABOUT THE EPSTEIN FILES WHO CARES

Excellent post by Lisa Rubin:

“As the Senate prepares to vote on Emil Bove’s nomination to the Third Circuit, two more whistleblowers have emerged, according to Whistleblower Aid and the Justice Connection.”

Thread continued in screenshots:
NEW: As the Senate prepares to vote on Emil Bove's nomination to the Third Circuit, two more whistleblowers have emerged, according to Whistleblower Aid and the Justice Connection. /1 As confirmed by a spokesperson for Senator Durbin, one of these whistleblowers — the one affiliated with Justice Connection, an organization by and for ex-DOJ staff, has provided evidence to Democratic staff of the Judiciary Committee. 2/ But according to two sources with direct knowledge, the other whistleblower, a former DOJ attorney represented by Whistleblower Aid, submitted a formal whistleblower complaint to DOJ's Inspector General on May 2, more than six weeks before Reuveni's letter was submitted. 3/ This whistleblower has not shared their complaint or underlying documents with any senators or staff but has notified Sens. Grassley & Durbin of their complaint through a June 13 letter encouraging them to ask the IG for the documentation. 4/ This means at least one of the two "new" whistleblowers actually came forward well before Reuveni—and according to two sources with direct knowledge of that complaint, neither the whistleblower nor Reuveni knew of the other's plans before making their respective reports. 5/ Those sources also maintain Reuveni is unaware this former DOJ lawyer has become a whistleblower. 6/ And they also tell me the Whistleblower Aid whistleblower provided the IG with internal documents & communications that corroborate Reuveni's assertion that DOJ personnel violated the March 2025 temporary restraining order Judge James Boasberg entered concerning the removal of those covered by President Trump's proclamation of that day. 7/ My sources acknowledge the whistleblower had no direct interaction with Emil Bove and did not participate in the litigation surrounding the Alien Enemies Act and/or Kilmar Abrego Garcia. 8/ But in addition to corroborating Reuveni's assertions about potential violations of court orders, the sources say the whistleblower's documents suggest DOJ lawyers concealed and/ or misrepresented facts about those events to federal courts. 9/ Finally, the whistleblower encouraged the IG to further investigate, including by looking at electronic communications to which the whistleblower was not privy. 10/ This whistleblower's report was made nearly 3 months ago-and Bove's final vote is expected on Monday. Stay tuned. FIN.

Another great post by Rep. Rosecrants. “One party rule is a 💩 idea.”

Read the article here: oklahomavoice.com/2025/07/22/o...
Facebook post by Rep. Jacob Rosecrants: “What irks me the most about the red flags waved by Ms. Heard about the direction of the State Department of Education (including effing manipulation of school accreditation!) is that shortly after the incompetent Supt. Walters swept into power, red flags were already waving from folks at the Department, and those flags just kept waving. Seeing this, we (House Dems and even a few Rs) pushed for an investigatory committee (similar to the one called to look into the issues within the Department of Mental Health) to be convened to look into the issues. These requests were brushed off by GOP leadership as politicking, which is yet ANOTHER reason why one party rule is a 💩 idea. Please read the piece in full (link to the story in the comments) to better understand that something definitely has stunk & still stinks at the State Department of Education, and it isn't the rank & file folks. It's coming from the very top: Ryan Walters (of course), Matt Langston (is he still collecting a paycheck??), and a clown car full of others who've done all they can to destroy the Department, purposefully. 🚩” Screenshot of article headline: “Oklahoma Education Department official resigned over 'fundamental' issues in the agency. “The official's resignation letter, which the agency tried to keep secret, alleges manipulation of school accreditation, other problems.”

Rep jacobrosecrants.bsky.social de-mongering the fear.
Facebook post by Rep Jacob Rose rants: Sadly, many politicians scare their political base into showing up to keep them in power, & it has a name: Fear mongering, and if the last presidential election taught us anything, it works. While this tactic is used by folks all over the political spectrum, it's especially effective for conservatives, who have a base who seem to believe anything an elected official tells them, which is crazy to me. So let me just de-monger some of the fear, and feel free to share this out to your conservative friends & family: 1. Democrats are NOT socialists nor communists nor demon-worshipping pedos. 2. Teachers are NOT indoctrinating kids in our public schools. 3. Undocumented immigrants CANNOT receive Medicaid, except in emergency situations. 4. The government CANNOT control the weather, regardless of which political party is in power. 5. Radars also CANNOT control the weather. 6. They were NEVER eating the pets. 7. Seeing a rainbow flag will NOT make you gay. - 8. Universities are NOT training grounds for liberal Communist-Socialist foot soldiers. 9. Democrats do NOT kill babies. 10. Undocumented immigrants are NOT the cause of every problem in America. So...how do we combat these lies (and so many others) and the fear they monger? Critical-thinking, inquiry, & research skills, which were most likely taught to you by your friendly neighborhood teacher! (You're welcome btw!) So...if something sounds horrible...like you're gonna be attacked by an army of undocumented immigrants with Communism radar-lasers led by the zombified bodies of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin...it's most likely being used to scare you into voting for the people who are telling you that! Folks, do NOT buy in to the fear mongering...but please ask questions & DO think critically!

The floods in Texas are horrific. 59 people are confirmed dead, 15 of them children. Countless more remain missing, including 27 girls from Camp Mystic on the Guadalupe River.

Read more in live updates: www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...
At least 59 people have been confirmed dead by the floods that swept through a region of Central Texas known as "Flash Flood Alley," as a frantic search-and-rescue operation continues for countless more who remain missing, including 27 girls from a beloved summer camp on the Guadalupe River. City Manager Dalton Rice of Kerrville, one of the hardest-hit areas, told reporters Saturday evening that the search for survivors would continue through the night, though heavy rains continued in areas outside San Antonio and flash-flood warnings and watches remained in effect for parts of the area, dimming hopes that others could be found alive. Fifteen children are confirmed to be among the dead, and authorities expect the toll to rise. Map of cumulative rainfall, July 3-4, showing areas around Camp Mystic receiving 7-10 inches of rainfall, with some areas receiving greater than 10 inches. • Extraordinary atmospheric conditions released 1.8 trillion gallons of rain in and around Texas Hill Country on Friday. In one part, the Guadalupe River rose from 7 feet to 29 feet in just a few hours. • The National Weather Service reported additional moderate to heavy rainfall falling in and around the area on Sunday morning, extending a Flood Watch advisory for swaths of the region until 1 p.m. local time. • The National Weather Service said its reports gave localities hours of lead time, but the speed and severity of the flooding still appeared to catch many off guard. Department of Homeland Security Kristi L. Noem said that the agency used an "ancient system" for alerts and that the White House has been working to upgrade the technology.

“The Federal Bureau of Investigation on Friday [6/27] issued an alert concerning Scattered Spider, a cybercriminal organization currently targeting the airline industry.”

Read more here: myfox8.com/news/nationa...
Twitter/X post by the FBI on Fri, 6/27: ALERT—The FBI has recently observed the cybercriminal group Scattered Spider expanding its targeting to include the airline sector. These actors rely on social engineering techniques, often impersonating employees or contractors to deceive IT help desks into granting access. These techniques frequently involve methods to bypass multi-factor authentication (MFA), such as convincing help desk services to add unauthorized MFA devices to compromised accounts. They target large corporations and their third-party IT providers, which means anyone in the airline ecosystem, including trusted vendors and contractors, could be at risk. Once inside, Scattered Spider actors steal sensitive data for extortion and often deploy ransomware. The FBI is actively working with aviation and industry partners to address this activity and assist victims. Early reporting allows the FBI to engage promptly, share intelligence across the industry, and prevent further compromise. If you suspect your organization has been targeted, please contact your local FBI office.

NYT Editorial Board: “Mr. Trump’s playbook for the F.B.I. is plain to see. He is turning it into an enforcement agency for MAGA’s priorities. He is chasing out agents who might refuse to play along and installing loyalists in their place.”

Archived link without paywall: archive.ph/EpBKk
Only Il days after President Trump was inaugurated for a second term, his administration began a purge of the F.B.I. that now threatens some of the bureau's most important missions. His appointees ousted eight of its most experienced managers, including the division heads overseeing national security, cybersecurity and criminal investigations. Several had worked on prosecutions of Jan. 6 rioters or had assisted in the various investigations of Mr. Trump, and Emil Bove, then the acting deputy attorney general, said they could not be trusted to carry out the president's agenda. That was just the beginning. Over the past five months, many F.B.I. agents, including other top managers and national security experts, have been fired, pressured to leave or transferred to lesser roles. Hundreds have resigned on their own, unwilling to follow the demands of the Trump administration. Their absence has left a vacuum in divisions that are supposed to protect the public. These losses have "obliterated decades of experience in national security and criminal matters at the F.B.I., Adam Goldman of The Times wrote. Mr. Trump's playbook for the F.B.I. is plain to see. He is turning it into an enforcement agency for MAGA's priorities. He is chasing out agents who might refuse to play along and installing loyalists in their place. He is seeking to remove the threat of investigation for his friends and allies. And he is trying to instill fear in his critics and political opponents. Among his many efforts to weaken American democracy and amass more power for himself, his politicization of the F.B.I. is one of the most blatant. These developments should unsettle all Americans, regardless of party. As one former Justice Department official told NBC News, the decimation of the bureau's senior ranks has left it "completely unprepared to respond to a crisis, including the fallout from the current conflict in the Middle East." Mr. Trump's politicization of the F.B.I. has left it less able to…

If Grenell thinks a 1.6¢ gas increase is bad (& somehow equals 65¢??), Oklahoma increased its gas tax by 3¢ this year and it goes up by 3¢each of the next 2 years.

Info on states’ increases: www.ncsl.org/transportati...
AI overview: Oklahoma has been gradually increasing its state gas tax. In 2025, the gas tax rate is set to increase by 3 cents per gallon, reaching 21 cents per gallon on July 1st. This increase is part of a multi-year plan to gradually raise the tax rate to 27 cents per gallon by July 1, 2027. The revenue generated from these increases is primarily allocated to the state's transportation infrastructure. Here's a breakdown: • Current rate (2024): 18 cents per gallon. • July 1, 2025: Increase to 21 cents per gallon. • July 1, 2026: Increase to 24 cents per gallon. • July 1, 2027: Increase to 27 cents per gallon. The state gas tax increase is intended to fund road and bridge improvements, with a portion of the revenue also going towards a multi-modal investment fund.
