I bet the mainstream media will be all over this outrageous and dangerous comment, right?

Ha — just kidding!! 🤣 The media will IGNORE it, just like they ignore ALL the batshit crazy comments from Trump and his minions.

So does this mean we’re done celebrating peace in the Middle East?

"We’ve been sending up well-tested people for decades, and the country is in worse straits than it’s ever been. It’s a mess right now, and it’s a mess that is, in my opinion, built specifically by the political class. And it’s time to do something different." - @grahamformaine.bsky.social

For nearly a decade, I’ve fought Greg Abbott in the Texas House over his schemes to hand out no-bid contracts to his donors, attack our public schools, and let big corporations profit at the expense of Texans. I’m never going to stop fighting back.

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho.

One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire.

25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage.

This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

It’s unlikely that ICE will follow this judge’s orders so please, always keep recording!

Thanks to everyone for always keeping those cameras rolling and sharing the videos online. Federal immigration officers in the Chicago area will now be required to wear body cameras, following a ruling by U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis.

Hamas never agreed to all of the terms of this “Peace Agreement”. It didn’t win him the Nobel Peace Prize, so now he’s going to get retribution from the innocent Palestinians that finally had hope for their country’s future.

Asked this ICE protester which organized crime syndicate he was with. He said none. Life in war-ravaged Chicago continues apace.

Remember when Biden bungled a comment and it sounded like he called all MAGA garbage, quickly corrected and it was still a 3 day news story?

Never stop scheming: Jonathan Mitchell Shutdown Edition.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

UNITED STATES DIST RICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS
FORT WORTH DIVISION
Braidwood Management Inc., et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., et al.,
Defendants.
Case No. 4:20-cv-00283-O
JOINT STATUS REPORT AND MOTION TO STAY
PROCEEDINGS
The plaintiffs have been preparing a second amended complaint, as well a motion
for leave to file a second amended complaint in this litigation. Because of the government shutdown, however, the Department of Justice attorneys who represent the defendants are prohibited from working, even on a voluntary basis, except in very limited
circumstances. See 31 U.S.C. §§ 1341–42. The parties therefore respectfully ask the
Court to stay this case until the government shutdown ends.
When the shutdown concludes and the government reopens, the parties will confer and submit a joint status report to this Court, which will propose a briefing schedule for the plaintiffs’ motion for leave to file a second amended complaint.
A proposed order is attached.

Respectfully submitted,

/s/ Jonathan F. Mitchell
JONATHAN F. MITCHELL

BRETT A SHUMATE
Assistant Attorney General

Today's GOP:

Where Trump bragging about assaulting women/grabbing them by the pussy is just "locker room talk."

And Young Republican leadership professing their love for Hitler, using the n-word, & calling rape "epic" is just "what kids do" according to JD Vance.

* Note the ages of those "kids"

Note that if JD Vance's adult "kids" were brown and 13 they'd have been zip-tied and disappeared by ICE because dangerous adults.
