If Prop 50 fails — we’ll never put a check on Trump, who just gave $40 billion to Argentina while raising funds for his gilded ballroom instead of continuing SNAP benefits for struggling Americans.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Again, Kavanaugh justified racial profiling by claiming that this doesn't happen--a justification that becomes more preposterous with each passing day as Trump's goons terrorize more people based on the color of their skin

Hey, you guys?
Is it a good sign or a bad sign if a federal judge has to remind you (multiple times) that you’re a lawyer and an officer of the court?

Immergut: You're an officer of the court. Do you believe this is appropriate way to deal with my order?
Hamilton: I'm not a policy maker
Immergut: You're a lawyer
In response, Hamilton basically argues no geographic limit to federalization of CA guard...

I think folks should prepare themselves for the off chance that there is a different outcome in Chicago than the litigation has yielded thus far in Portland. The facts on the ground, I think, are arguably different enough.
But that’ll raise serious Posse Comitatus issues in Chicago. It’s not good.

I’m really grateful for Pritzker. But that he’s so good at this also makes clear just how badly most other Democrats are failing to meet the moment.
In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists when unprovoked — what would we call it?
If federal agents marched down streets demanding papers — what would we say?
Authoritarianism — let’s not pretend it’s something else when it happens in our American cities.

(1) It's all so clear to me. Trump and the billionaires want a culture war because they want the riots to justify martial law and they love video of ICE knocking down immigrants, women, and old folks. Wow! How heroic.

No really how much? 5k? 10k? 20!?
Stop being lazy & tighten up! Never been a better time to try!!! Every time I pick something up in a store I ask myself now do I need it or do I want it?
