Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

How times change.
NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:
US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It
The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

If ICE agents begins harassing voters on the way to vote on Tuesday, we need local prosecutors to charge the ICE officers with state law crimes. We need to send a message for 2026 that they will be swiftly arrested.

Should be a word of the day:
#defenestration. Out the window!
"The British royal family has, in effect, defenestrated Prince Andrew—who is no longer 'Prince.' I was beginning to think there was no accountability in the world—certainly none for wrongdoing in the Epstein matter...The contrast with us Americans is stark."

Declaration of Independence Grievances have made a comeback! Yes, our forefathers were pissed then, and here we are again! American consumers are paying ADDITIONAL arbitrary tariff taxes on almost everything! #TariffTaxGrievanceIsBack
An embarrassingly obvious point, but...

This. Is. Illegal.

If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed.

In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.
I think at this point it’s fair to say that we’re no longer under the rule of law.

Why would they do this now—when the news that Bessent is giving $40 billion to Argentina to ostensibly help bail out a pal—and DT is sharing details of his opulent ballroom? You can’t help but get the impression they aren’t worried about winning over voters ever again.
