Sick with it / slick with it, hiding sin behind that goblin grin.

An abhorrent guise in pursuit of the prize / trying to win..

..by any means necessary strategy, just black cat capers?

Maybe warped verities; please don't sign those paper!

Many are asking; so what's really the score behind the sacred door?

Was it the fault of our dreams? others said they'll bore..

..us; but is there justice for the comatose princess?

Caused by black cat capers from that daughter of chaos?

Pritzker on Fox on ICE agents: "The problem is, who's holding the bad ones accountable? Because the bad ones, frankly, are the ones we're seeing all the time."

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

Crimer-In-Chief Donald Trump wants to steal $230 million dollars from American taxpayers, claiming he’s owed money because of his investigations and prosecutions.

His claims are absurd & we should all sue him for the pain and suffering he’s put us through over the years.

You know, if @nicollewallace.bsky.social had not spread affirmative disinformation, if her spouse weren't STILL lying abt what happened in the first term, prosecutors would have less need to speak out.

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing.

Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Justin Walker writes an absolutely shameful dissent in upholding TRO against FTC conducting a weaponized investigation into Media Matters.

Hopefully I can outsource this to @mmasnick.bsky.social to explain why.

media.cadc.uscourts.gov/orders/docs/...
When President Biden’s officials were sued for violating social-media users’ free-speech rights, all seven federal judges and justices who reached the suit’s merits agreed that the Biden administration had brazenly violated the First Amendment. The district court found “a far-reaching and widespread censorship campaign.”8 Then a unanimous circuit panel held that the White House likely “coerced the platforms” and “commandeer[ed] their decision-making processes, both in violation of the First Amendment.”9 And finally, though six justices concluded that the plaintiffs lacked standing, the only three justices to reach the merits called the White House’s conduct “dangerous” and “blatantly unconstitutional.”10

“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime.”

Yeah, well, looks like Trump just committed one with a $300 million price tag and a bulldozer. If any other American did this, they’d already be in handcuffs. Trump is immune and he knows it.

Trump’s mandate to fast-track 10,000 new hires is coming at a cost: quality.

As anyone can see from the cache of videos all over the internet, ICE is a mess.

Not only has training been cut from 13 weeks to 6 weeks. They’re letting people with criminal records, failed drug tests…

Glad ICE is getting called out for plate swapping in Illinois, but this has been happening in California from the jump.

Todd Blanche has participated in trafficking of mostly innocent men to a concentration camp in Venezuela.

He ordered the kidnapping of Newark's Mayor, even after knowing Ras Baraka had not trespassed.

And he put an unlawfully appointed US Attorney before a grand jury.

That's what we know about.

Critical angle: Trump's accomplices are surely counting on pardons, which only makes them more beholden to him. Todd Blanche must think hard about saying "no" to Trump's demand for the $230 million.

Raskin and I discuss this here. It's something Dems could say more:

New in PN: Trump shits on us. Why doesn’t the media care?

"Millions exercised their rights & Trump’s response was burying them in virtual feces. At best it's juvenile; at worst an ugly attack on the democratic spirit. Either way, it’s very offensive. You’d think journos would want to talk about it"
Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?
For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

Here's the letter, from last week, that @warren.senate.gov sent to Google about the quid pro quo, settling their YouTube lawsuit in exchange for helping to destroy the East Wing.

Wyden, Sanders, Blumenthal, and Merkley also signed.

www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
On September 29, 2025, YouTube agreed to settle President Trump’s censorship case for $24.5 million13 — despite the fact that legal experts viewed the lawsuit as “likely doomed from the start,” and YouTube as well-positioned to prevail in court.14 $22 million of the settlement will be given to President Trump, which he has directed to be contributed, on his behalf, to the Trust for the National Mall, “to support the construction of the White House State Ballroom.”15 President Trump has discussed his dream of a White House ballroom for over 15 years and reportedly values the ballroom as an opportunity to host large groups and “put his aesthetic stamp on the White House itself.”16 According to a White House official, construction of the ballroom will continue throughout the federal

Too much time on my hands so you can catch me investigating.

Wondering; still trying to figure out what's behind the sacred door?

A lot of whispering was heard, related to loving or hating?

Maybe insipid idealism; soon we'll know the score.
