Just a quick PSA that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in your public movements. This is why law enforcement can follow YOU or photograph YOU in public without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Law enforcement doesn’t get “extra” protection in that regard. Goose/gander etc.
Because he’s doing his job…reporting. Because we still live in a free country with a First Amendment and a free press.

Mike hasn’t clocked into work in 3-plus weeks, and hasn’t spent a full week at the office since July.

“Been a little busy”: with what? Keeping cucumbers over his eyes so he can pretend not to see anything?

Par for the course. This is exactly what an enemy of the United States would do and Trump is an enemy of the United States.

There is no difference between Trump destroying the East Wing and using a wrecking ball on the Washington Monument or Smithsonian. Just because he (temporarily) lives there doesn't give him the right to demolish the White House without Congressional approval.

Let’s call it what it is: murder
Asking myself again why I follow the @nytimes.com. Not for these cheesy and poppable recipes.

Donald Trump is far too selfish a person to go to the trouble of building an enormous ballroom that won't be finished until his last, legal term is up if he weren't planning to use it in his next, illegal term.

Fox News anchor Laura Ingraham is deeply immersed in a business venture with the Trump family. No professional news organization would ever permit something like this. But then, Fox News is not a news organization. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...

This shows in so many ways Halligan is unsuited to be United States Dogcatcher, let alone United States Attorney. She writes a reporter whining about reporting but not offering any actionable specific things the reporter got wrong. There's NO WAY that helps anything.

They won’t even give the movement a name as they did the Tea Party.
Remember April 2009 when about 250,000 people took to America’s streets in Tea Party rallies and the media was like “oh man, the Dems are in trouble?” Approximately 28X as many people took to the streets to protest Trump yesterday. Didn’t even make the NYT front page.
In April of 2009 I observed the Tea Party rally in Salem. As this front page story says, there were a couple hundred people there. This past weekend in Salem there were roughly 2-3000 people at the Hands Off rally. Yet the Tea Party coverage seemed to take that event far more seriously.

22 arrests.
All Maga.
Including this armed terrorist with a gun who assaulted a woman.
I think we know who the violent ones are.

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."

I overheard--just a few days ago!--someone say COVID was never that big a deal, that masks never worked, and it was all a Democrat scheme to make money...within earshot of someone who lost a child to COVID and another whose lungs have been permanently fucked up by it.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting.

Now the official line is crumbling. 1/

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.
As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

Specifically, Trump dumps shit on No Kings protesters in this AI slop video, while wearing a crown.

But Hillary said "deplorables" once nine years ago, so let's keep talking about that for another couple of decades.

Bizarro world where I'm in agreement with Rand Paul.
Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."
The GOP wants the violence as a precursor to further violating people's rights.

The military seizing survivors of illegal strikes should be a much bigger story.

Hark, Speaker Mike Johnson! Looking at all the many, many pics of the enormous, joyous “No Kings” rallies throughout the United States today, I am struck by what lovely weather your Lord and Savior provided. Apparently, God is a fan of, as you claimed, "America-hating Antifa terrorists." Glory!
