A federal judge in Oregon delivered a second blow to the Trump administration’s effort to send National Guard troops to Portland by temporarily blocking federalized members of the National Guard from anywhere in the US being deployed to the state.

To add insult to injury Trump threatened to use blue cities as military training grounds while funneling our cash to the same folks who keep propping him up.

Tomorrow, he’s expected to announce another farmer bailout. And like clockwork, most will thank him and vote for him and Republicans again.

1. Federal agents from ICE and other agencies are wrongly detaining U.S. citizens, sometimes detaining them for days, on suspicion that they are undocumented immigrants.

The raids are done without search warrants or other procedures designed to protect civil liberties.
How federal agents are terrorizing American citizens
Last week, hundreds of heavily armed federal agents descended on an apartment complex in Chicago, arriving in Black Hawk helicopters and moving trucks.

3 people were hospitalized from this fire after Judge Diane Goodstein issued a ruling temporarily blocking SC from handing over millions of voters’ personal data to Trump. Trump allies - including Elon Musk - ramped up their criticism of judges for being politically biased against the GOP.

I hope Greta wins. Trump will not be able to stand it.
Greta is up for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize, standing for climate action and humanity. Contrast that with Trump, who calls Americans “the enemy,” threatens U.S. cities with the military, and claims he’s at war with half the country. Who truly deserves “peace”?

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

It’s time to engage in “uncooperative federalism” or a “soft secession,” where Blue states start building parallel systems, withholding cooperation, & creating facts on the ground that render federal authority meaningless within their borders.

A must read from Jeffery.
“California, and the country, cannot await the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required.”

Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files.

But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Governor Whitmer was almost kidnapped by armed thugs. Governor Shapiro‘s house was set on fire. Nancy Pelosi‘s husband was violently attacked by someone looking for her. Melissa Hortman was assassinated in her home with her husband and dog…and now this. The left is the victim, not the perpetrator.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

Charlie Kirk called me a ‘lunatic’ and a ‘prostitute’ and demanded I be deported.

Nothing, *nothing*, justifies killing him, or robbing his kids of their dad.

We don’t know the identity or motive of the shooter but murder can *never* be the response to political disagreements.
