While we were sleeping:
A federal judge in Oregon has blocked the Trump administration from deploying any federalized National Guard—Texas, California, the state’s own—in Oregon.
That’s big news. Even bigger: She’s decided to hold a trial on the merits. That is: She’s putting people under oath.

I know 'separation of church and state' was never gonna happen with this guy, but I guess I assumed we'd at least get 'separation of school meetings and Pornhub.'

A reminder that the Fox News Cinematic Universe only focuses on black officials when they can tear them down.
They used to mock Baltimore's Brandon Scott as a "DEI mayor" but now that homicide rates have plummeted they're just pretending he doesn't exist.
