Donald Trump's half-baked decision to hijack the California National Guard into his own domestic police force to terrorize people in the LA area was never about public safety. It was only about dictatorial power and his political propaganda.
They keep losing in court because everything theyâre doing is illegal
Cheers erupt in the House as several Republicans join with Democrats to table a resolution to censure Rep. LaMonica McIver
Shuler: We are living in a very cynical moment right now. So many people are cynical about our politics. Theyâve lost faith in many institutions in our country. But thereâs one institution they still believe in: unions.
Bonta: They tried to rely on this supposed exception to the Posse Comitatus Act. And Judge Breyer, during the trial, rightfully asked: âI havenât seen that in the Constitution. Can you point it out?â Of course, it could not be pointed out by the witness, because it doesnât exist.
Floridaâs decision will have horrific consequences for public health. More and more kids are going to get sick and die from vaccine preventable diseases. Their parents wonât, though. Florida is proudly sending their kids to their deaths.
I have been saying for months that it is critical to monitor your stateâs vaccine requirements for school entry. They are the only things standing between us and massive infectious disease outbreaks. With Florida ending these requirements, other states are sure to follow.
Florida is a center of international tourism and has one of the top 3 populations of retirees. Ending childhood vaccine requirements for school entry there is so dangerous I donât even know where to start. Ground zero for massive unchecked outbreaks of vaccine preventable disease.
It is truly tragic that many people are about to learn this the hard way. Itâs not the kidsâ fault. They donât deserve this.
It doesnât matter if you feed your kids organic foods, MAHA moms. It doesnât matter if you lift every day, bro. It doesnât matter how many supplements you consume. When polio, diphtheria, measles, mumps, and whooping cough come a calling, all that matters is if you are vaccinated or not.
2. Disease outbreaks that rapidly spread globally due to Floridaâs tourism industry and airport hubs. 3. Eventually, mutations arise that evade current vaccines. All thanks to MAHA and MAGA.
What happens when vaccine coverage collapses in Florida because they are ending vaccine requirements for school entry? 1. Disease outbreaks that end up hospitalizing and killing infants too young to be vaccinated by responsible parents, the elderly whose immunity wanes, and the immunocompromised.
All the public heath officials in FL who support this decision should be kicked out of their national public heath associations now! #publichealthmalpractice
Gramps and Grammy have to not winter in Fl
Hereâs a fun graph - what happened after we started vaccinating kids against pneumococcal disease? Disease rates in older adults fell. Now what will happen if we stop vaccinating kids?
âYour body your choiceâ say Florida Health Officials about vaccines. But not âYour body your choiceâ about abortion. Funny about that, eh?
I mean if New Hampshire did this, that would be one thing. But there are an entire class of diseases usually referred to as "tropical" because of their historic endemicity to the tropical or sub-tropical regions. Including Florida. They know this. These Malthus enthusiasts are trying to kill us.
You would think Florida learned its vaccine lesson from CovidâŠ
Floridaâs surgeon general, Joseph Ladapo, a regular amplifier of disinformation who has manipulated data in the past, says that every vaccine requirement, âdrips with disdain and slaveryâ. Iâm sorry, Florida. Youâre in deep trouble now.
Florida is ending childhood vaccine requirements for school entry. This is going to have a massive negative impact on the health of children in Florida and throughout the United States. Florida will now be ground zero for infectious disease outbreaks. H/t @bethlinas.bsky.social.
As concerns that Trump could be deploying National Guard troops as a test run for future election interference, we take a look at one law that will impact stationing federal troops at the polls themselves. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
âWe blew it up.â On Trumpâs orders. Even Rubio wants a little distance from this.
When I go through why slavery was bad, "the slaves were too healthy and didn't get sick enough" doesn't make my list.
The contemporary Republican Party has gathered together, under one banner, the worst human beings in the country. It barely even has an ideology any more beyond "be your worst self."
This is a flagrantly illegal and murderous act.
A personalist dictatorship can have no settled policy except the will of the leader. No facts matter, no principles other than the leadership principle (Fuhrerprinzip)

Shockingly, it turns out that when CBS handed $16 million over to Trump's "presidential library," it didn't placate him in the least. Kristi Noem has now used precisely the same scam, a phony accusation of deceptive editing, that Trump used to extort CBS last time! newrepublic.com/article/1998...

Yes, it is. Textbook corruption.
On Trumpâs orders, Missouri Republicans plan to gerrymander a Black lawmaker out of office. If successful, the new map would give Republicans 90 percent of seats in a state Trump carried with 58 percent of the vote in 2024.
Nope â mostly, just hating women!
Epstein died in a federal prison while Trump was president. Draw your own conclusions.
Tea Pain's 2 cents: Marjorie Taylor Green wouldn't be calling for the release of the Epstein Files unless she has been assured Trump has been 100% erased from them. We're watching political theater from the Republicans and fake resistance from the White House. This is part of a GOP cover-up.
Digest this. The White House deems bringing justice against pedophiles a "hostile act."
I stand with @govpritzker.illinois.gov!
JB, Call it what it is: âThis is some serious Nazi shit.â Say those words on TV. @jbpritzker.bsky.social
As a governor who cares about the well-being of my people, I canât live in a fantasy land where I pretend Trump is not tearing this country apart for personal greed and power.
Send them to his fucking state!!!!!!
Trump called republicans and threatened them not to sign the discharge petition to release the Epstein files saying he would consider it a "hostile act" against him.
Epstein survivor Haley Robson on Ghislaine Maxwell: âGhislaine Maxwell doesnât deserve any mercy. She doesnât deserve any grace. She deserves nothing. Why would anybody give someone like her, who is a monster and a liar, a time of day to explain anything?â
"Christian Osborne has been itching to serve his country since he was discharged from the Marines after refusing the coronavirus vaccine." And there it is, ICE in a nutshell: Guy who couldn't follow orders and was kicked out of the Marines longs to wear a mask, carry a gun & round up brown people
Newsmax sues Fox News, accusing the broadcaster of abusing its monopoly power in the right-wing pay-TV market https://cnn.it/45KNsoo
Moskowitz: Do you think the Epstein list should come out? Farage: I have no opinion on it. Raskin: Itâs been reported that heâs called for it to be released Moskowitz: I have it here. Do you agree with yourself?
2/ As indicated at the start of the screen grab below, I found the above Armored Republic clip last year, while reviewing a Cross Politic interview of Claremont Institute alum Meg Basham, an admirer of Doug Wilson who has been involved with NatCon (as have other Wilson admirers & Wilson himself).
The CrossPolitic podcast is hosted by congregants of Christ Churchâled by Christian Nationalist kingpin Doug Wilson. The podcast promotes Armored Republic, a Christian body armor company: âWe create Tools of Liberty 2 Honor Christ by equipping Free Men to defend their God-given rights.â Sound on. 1/
There's a special pain in all of this for young boomers and older Gen X people. We are the ones who most dramatically saw the arc of history bending toward justice in our immediate past and through most of our lifetimes.
I grew up in the â60s and â70s as a proud American, feeling sorry for people in the Soviet Union forced to live under a system of crushing corruption and cruelty. Weâre those people now.
Itâs interesting that Trump thinks he can solve America's drug problem by going after traffickers outside the U.S., but he refuses to address blue citiesâ crime problem by going after the red states supplying the guns.
Chicago has a long history of defiance, featuring bold characters such as Ida B. Wells, Studs Terkel and Jane Addams. Now Gov. JB Pritzker, Mayor Brandon Johnson and throngs of protesters are continuing the tradition, telling Trump: Keep your troops out of our city. My Stop the Presses newsletter.
An Epstein victim says she's afraid of Trump and his gang. Think about why that is.

10. Trumpâs attorney general, Pam Bondi, said in February of this year that Epsteinâs client list was âsitting on my desk right now to review.â Five months later, her agency said no Epstein client list existed. Trump defended her: âThe attorney general has handled that very well.â
9. Trump was president and ultimately responsible for the federal prison system when Jeffrey Epstein died in custody in 2019, supposedly of suicide. Epstein had been on suicide watch, but was taken off the watch 2 weeks before he died.
8. Prosecutor Alex Acosta cut a secret, lenient deal with child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein in 2008 and nine years later Trump named Acosta labor secretary. Trump defended Acosta as details of the Epstein deal became more widely known, but Acosta ultimately quit .
7. Dozens of women have accused Trump of sexual abuse. A jury found he had sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll and awarded millions in damages. A woman filed a lawsuit accusing Trump of raping her when she was a 13-year-old aspiring model, but she dropped the suit.
6. In a 2005 recording that should have killed Trumpâs 2016 presidential bid but didnât, he bragged about sexual assault: âI just start kissing them. ... Just kiss. I donât even wait. When youâre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab âem by the pussy. You can do anything.â
5. Stacy Wilkes was a 16-year-old modeling contestant in the Look of the Year contest, in which Trump was a judge and liked to hang out behind the scenes. âEvery time we changed, it was like Trump would find a reason to come backstage,â Wilkes recalled.
4. A former model recalled that Trump asked her out for dinner in 1989. She said Trump, then in his early 40s, inquired about her age. âI said 17 and he said, âThatâs just great â youâre not too old, not too young.ââ
3. Trump said in a radio interview in 2004 that it was OK to call his daughter Ivanka a âpiece of ass.â Two years later, he said in a TV interview that âif Ivanka werenât my daughter, perhaps Iâd be dating her.â
2. In 1999, when Trump was in his 50s, he said daughter Ivanka made him âswear to her that I would never date a girl younger than her." Ivanka was 17 then. The age of consent in NY is 17. So, in effect, Ivanka was asking Trump not to commit statutory rape.
1. Child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein said: âI was Donald Trumpâs closest friend for 10 years.â Trump said in a 2002 interview that he was friends with Epstein for 15 years. He added that Epstein was a âterrific guyâ who liked females âon the younger side.â
đ§”đ§”𧔠In this thread, I lay out more than a dozen facts about Trump and his child-molester friends Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. I challenge you to read the whole thread and then decide what the odds are that Trump did not abuse girls or tolerate his pals Epstein and Maxwell doing so.
Re-upping this thread with facts about sexual predators Trump, Epstein and Maxwell. Please consider sharing it so everyone understands the depravity of these people.
Jon asks why the GOP's "one is too many" logic applies only to immigrants and not mass shootings
Trump on what he's doing stop Russia's war on Ukraine: "We have stopped the money. We send weapons to NATO. They pay full price." (In other words he's trying to compel Ukraine to surrender but not Russia to stop the violence.)
When âtwo weeksâ doesnât work out, you always have âa very short period of timeâ and âa very long period of timeâ to fall back on
The man doesnât eat in a place he doesnât own.
Raskin: "When private comments made by federal employees are scrutinized for anti-Trump bias and they can lose their jobs because of it, then we've entered the realm not just of Vladimir Putin but Joseph Stalin."
McGovern: "You guys think you work for Trump ... Let me repeat -- every single Republican on the Rules Committee voted against releasing the Epstein files. Every single one. We heard last night that all Republicans want full transparency. But that's just not true."
@raskin.house.gov Whooo boy! Thank you!
That feeling when someone is handing you your ass AND you realise you've shit yourself all at once. Couldn't happen to a more deserving twat. Thank you Rep. Raskin.
Both Farage and Trump look and act like a very crude and obvious joke version of a person you should absolutely not trust. I will never understand what some people apparently see in them :(
that feeling when
A) If there were an actual emergency, one wouldn't be in the position of just picking and choosing. B) While there are serious federalism problems with invading a state without the consent of its government, there are other kinds of problems with governors inviting invasion cities in their states..
The biggest political con after Trump , Farage fooled the little Englanders into giving up freedom of movement while he holds dual citizenship , Brexit has been a disaster and he now disowns his part in it .
Farage is a hate baiting pos , spends more time up Trumps ass than he does in his constituency of Clacton .
Farage is another demented simpleton masquerading as a genius. One Trump in world politics is already more than we can cope with. Two would be a complete disaster.
Nigel Farage, Andrew Tate, Wikileaks/Stone, Russian puppet
Nigel Farage looks uncomfortable as Jamie Raskin uses his opening statement to absolutely demolish him
This a really solid pummeling, and Farage has earned every ounce of it.
Describing Trumpâs actions as âperformative sadismâ is spot on. He is someone who harms people for pleasure. His whole career and everything heâs done as president becomes understandable when one recognizes this need to harm drives him. He is a sadist. And he brings out the sadism in others.
I love this guy. He is a fellow resister. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c20J...
Trump is content to swagger around in his own background and rule as King within the US borders... defended by a Confederate Militia. He was never comfortable on the world stage, with other accomplished, dignified leaders... knowing he was an Imposter. He's killing US from the outside in.
The more he imposes his dystopia on the rest of the country, the more Americans push back. And with every successive destructive action, he exposes that he's an enemy of the United States & a danger to our republic. youtu.be/6Qp5AZZ-N2A
New in PN: Potemkin village populism "Unlike the fake villages Potemkin erected, Trumpâs theaters of cruelty are not harmless diversions. And while he imagines Americans cheering him, his performative sadism is only a winning strategy in his own mind. In reality, heâs becoming more & more reviled."
No notes
âweakening centuries-old powerâ is another way of saying violating the Constitution. But why speak clearly when euphemisms will do?
CNN, MSNBC, and Newsmax are currently covering the Epstein survivors press conference on the Hill. Fox News and NewsNation are not.
Massie: "The Speaker of the House just offered a fig leaf to my colleagues. They're gonna vote on a non-binding resolution today that does absolutely nothing ... they're allowing the DOJ to curate all of the information that the DOJ is giving them ... the perpetrators are being protected"
Itâs all a horse and pony show for MTG, Mace, low iq Bert nothing more. Fake asf
Donât trust her.
Epstein survivor Annie Farmer: "When the systems meant to protect us recreate the abuse cycle, the betrayal that occurs can be just as damaging as the original trauma...We are not going to be quiet. We are not going to give up. And I ask the American public to stand with us."
