Oh, yes, Texas has a paper trail a mile long arguing that states have the right to fully deploy its state agents to defend its borders and to use lethal force against any invasion. That would inherently include Illinois using lethal force to repel an invasion by the Texas National Guard.
Seems Trump might be trying an end-run in which Texas mobilizes its National Guard. That would be Texas invading Illinois, which as you can imagine is unconstitutional. One wonders about potential remedies, such as IL seizing assets of TX corporations like X, xAI, and SpaceX. Just a thought. 🤔
Read them anyway
Y’all I’am ruaa and I am now just a few meters away from death. I cannot protect my family, nor do I have a place to shelter them. My thinking has collapsed, my brain functions have stopped. I am neither safe nor able to survive. Keep me in your thoughts
Release the Epstein files.
We've always been a racist country. It was built on theft and genocide by slavery and oppression. We got a good man as president then overcorrected back to the norm. That's how we got Regan after Carter and Bush after Clinton. We put a decent person in office, then we get a shit human.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie filed a discharge petition today to force the disclosure of Justice Department investigative files related to the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. Working with Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna, Massie now needs to persuade 216 additional House members to sign it.
Just because the Trump Administration wants to pretend climate change isn’t real, it doesn't make it any less urgent or concerning. It’s time to listen to the overwhelming majority of scientists and act accordingly, now.

chocolate milk is delicious
Trump is still a filthy pedophile ! Never forget!
"Fear narrows the aperture. It makes clever people average…brave people quiet…and decent people useful to indecent power. That’s not a judgment; it’s biology. Your nervous system’s job is to keep you alive…not to preserve a republic. Left unchecked… that wiring becomes a tyrant’s best friend."
🐔🚨TACO ALERT!🚨🐔 Trump chickens out again. We are a global laughinstock!
BREAKING: Large protests against Trump erupt in Washington DC, after he sends in the National Guard because of some Trumped up claim that Washington DC has a major violent crime emergency.
He's also the stupidest one by a mile. I owe W an apology. He was an idiot, but even he wasn't THIS bad.
Fucking republicans. Thanks for nothing, assholes.
BREAKING: Core inflation rose 0.3% in July and 3.1% year over year. This is the fastest annual pace in five months. That's before most of Trump’s tariffs took effect in August. It’s only going to get worse.
The fuck were they waiting on?? Didn't the Supreme Court decide the immunity thing last YEAR??! They should have been raising hell this WHOLE TIME!! Now they take issue!!?
Nine U.S. cities have higher violent crime than D.C. this year. D.C. violent crime is down 26%. He still seized the city.
Don't move on
While securing billions in taxpayer dollars for private prison companies to expand, the Trump administration was also dismantling a far less expensive, community-based national program — one that yielded a 100% appearance rate in immigration court without detention or electronic surveillance.
Grossly irresponsible of the Times to have this ludicrous credulous spin as the top story the morning after a president who rules by fiat proclaims a totally specious emergency to militarize the capital - an editorial insult to our intelligence and our democracy.
Things that make you go 🤬🖕
NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned. Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

When is it too much America?
Trump’s mental decline is undeniable — so what now? thehill.com/opinion/camp... by @thehill.com
So NOW Rump is considering deploying the National guard to reduce crime in DC, but would not deploy them to suppress the crimes committed by his supporters against 'congress on Jan. 6. Not to mention the crimes that are being committed within the White House.
Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.
This has come to pass because the rapist in the White House is ushering in changes that will see women and minorities have no or very few rights. It's up to us to unite and stop this movement. #Resist
📌 Just wrong , on so many levels • Impeach & Remove 🐥
📌 Listen Up • Not a drill 🐥
Tell Apple what you think about Tim Cook kneeling before Trump! Today is Woz's 75th birthday (no joke!): He deserves a more sparkling gift than a groveling 🍎-CEO.
I didn't like this movie when I first watched it because I thought it was supposed to be a serious spy movie with some camp. Nope! This is only one of the cutest and sweetest movies!!
‘Nothing else quite like it’: why DEBS is my feelgood movie
Zelenskyy just REJECTED Trump’s so-called peace deal that would force Ukraine to give up land to Russia without their consent. Ukraine must decide its own future. Not an orange pedo.

The next time you hear conservatives use any of the following terms, ask for a definition. "Woke" "DEI" "Critical race theory" "Socialism" They won't have any. They just want to stoke culture wars to divert attention from economic looting and oligarchy.

HOW TO HANDLE SMALL TALK AS AN INTROVERT 👇
Parts of the Constitution were erased from the Library of Congress website, including the section featuring the foreign emoluments clause. The removal was blamed on a "coding error." Here's a reminder of what the clause says, just in case Congress ever decides to enforce it...
They have no place in our lives, families, or friend groups, either.
Muskrat is probably in the damn files too. They're all disgusting pieces of shit. He knows the Felon won't release them.

This is utter bullshit. Her ass should be in that shitty death camp in Venezuela. Or the concentration camp in Florida. She has EARNED her place in a disgusting hellhole. We can trade her for everyone else. She should know how that works.
Cushy “Club Fed” for a person convicted of… conspiracy to entice minors to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, conspiracy to transport minors to participate in illegal sex acts, transporting a minor to participate in illegal sex acts, sex trafficking conspiracy, and sex trafficking of a minor. 🤬

I know this will get me in trouble. I usually try not to curse but my military is showing… These stupid motherfuckers want to put a nuclear reactor on the moon. Boondoggle and a straight money enema to our oligarchs. Epstein files must be very, very bad.
Abbott just issued arrest warrants for the Dems who fled the state. Rep Jasmine Crockett: unbothered. “You have a lot of intelligent attorneys that serve in the Texas House, and so they know there’s nothing he can do outside of the Texas jurisdiction.”
Raise your hand if you think the Epstein files should be released to the public
NY GOV. KATHY HOCHUL: “If we refuse to fight for our democracy, we’re doomed to lose it… bullies in Texas are not going to intimidate us.”
I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
