Good morning. ☕️

ICYMI: Trump has now forced more than 211,000 people out of their federal jobs. A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months.

Biggest losses at Defense Dept and Treasury.

Trump Has Forced Out An Alarming Number Of Federal Workers — And Now We Have An Exact Number

“The performance of our government across the board is being diminished,” warned Max Stier, CEO of Partnership for Public Service.

Please don’t skip this. My children and I are living unbearable days. The food is gone — no flour, no rice, no bread. I watch my children cry from hunger, and I have nothing to give them. It’s been days without any donations, and I fear we won’t survive much longer.

Plaintiffs in the lawsuit before Judge Sara Ellis in Chicago have filed their response to the 7th Circuit, over whether Border Patrol Cmdr. Greg Bovino should have to appear in court daily.

They note, as Ellis did, that "Bovino himself has stated publicly" that it "poses no obstacle to his work."

The district court’s administrative appearance requirement does not justify the extraordinary relief that the government seeks. The trial court is not micromanaging the Executive Branch, its administrative order is not the “extraordinarily disruptive requirement” the government contends it is, Motion at 1, and it does not “severely limit” Defendants’ ability to address threats of violence. Petition at 2. Instead, concerned with the lack of regard for judicial authority and court orders, the district court has entered a modest and temporary reporting requirement to enforce its TRO, and to investigate whether Defendants are in contempt of its orders. At each stage of the case, the district court has taken great care to ensure that there is no limitation on executive or law enforcement operations or on lawful uses of force. Defendant Bovino himself has stated publicly that the reporting requirement the government now challenges poses no obstacle to his work. Indeed, he said after the district court’s order that he “looks forward” to reporting to Judge Ellis.

I think early voting usually means something but trying to figure out *what* it means is usually a path to madness and I basically don't factor it into my analysis one way or another bsky.app/profile/mrro...

Here is DHS making false allegations about @katmabu.bsky.social.

Read the affidavit and show me where it alleges that she assaulted anyone.

Spoiler: it doesn't.

The conspiracy charge / title of the statute is throwing people off / leading to a lot of bad faith attacks.

“If you assault or obstruct law enforcement, you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law--regardless of who you are. Abughazaleh assaulted law enforcement and obstructed officers by directly blocking the pathway of a federal law enforcement officer vehicle outside our ICE Broadview facility. She is now facing the consequences of her stunt to earn 15 minutes of fame. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

On or about September 26, 2025, at Broadview, in the Northern District
of Illinois, Eastern Division,
KATHERINE MARIE ABUGHAZALEH,
defendant herein, forcibly impeded, intimidated, and interfered with an officer of the
United States, namely, Agent A, while engaged in or on account of the performance
of his official duties;
In violation of Title 18, United States Code, Sections 111(a)(1) and 2.

The piece they seem to be missing is that a lot of people are going to just drop coverage. Which has ripple effects on people who maintain coverage (even through employers) and the hospital systems. And it's going to hit rural states the hardest

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”.

No we do not agree!

Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.

It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling.

Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!
