Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview.

This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association.

I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

I have talked to former Biden Administration officials who agree that Garland and the DOJ were appallingly slow in prosecuting Trump and his cronies. Justice delayed is justice denied, as we very clearly saw here.
Biden Justice Department slow-walked key decisions in Trump legal probes
The picture of a hesitant Justice Department runs contrary to the GOP allegation that the indictments of Trump were the product of a Democrat-led plot.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Trial is beginning in Oregon v. Trump before Judge Karin Immergut.

Her two TROs blocking National Guard deployment are in effect currently. (DOJ's stay request as to the first TRO is before the en banc Ninth Circuit: www.lawdork.com/p/ninth-circ...)

Trial dial-in information is below:

It’s hilarious how world leaders make so clear that they think Trump is an idiot and easily manipulated and he doesn’t realize it at all.

“Here little boy is the largest cookie in the whole world, made out of rare unicorns and dinosaurs.”
“We present this gold crown to you on this joyous occasion”

Trump: Thank you very much

Remembering Neal Hefti on his birthday 🎂
📷 Gjon Mili, 1940s

A wonderful jazz arranger, for Woody Herman, Dizzy Gillespie, Count Basie, Harry James, Buddy Rich & more.

His best-known tune, though, is the theme from TV's Batman:

Not without setting off a firestorm among the military and we the people. It would be a huge expenditure of money, men, and logistics. That probably wouldn’t stop him but the American people would make it very difficult for him.
Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want
