centrist: Where do we go from here? We have to find common ground. We can't just call the other group "Nazis." At the end of the day, we're all just rich white men with podcasts.

Republican lawmaker: Welcome to Hitler Chat. I'm Hitler

Republican lawmaker 2: Hello. I am Hitler as well.

NEW: The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did.

We found more than 170 such incidents since the start of the second Trump administration. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes nearly 20 children, two of whom have cancer.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

The dissent does an excellent job making the majority look like fools. cst.brightspotcdn.com/d9/44/ff61b3...

The district court’s factual findings, which the government does not
challenge on appeal, and which are not clearly erroneous in any event, fully resolve
this issue. In the two weeks leading up to the President’s September 27 social
media post, there had not been a single incident of protesters’ disrupting the
execution of the laws. Oregon, 2025 WL 2817646, at *10. I repeat: not a single
incident for two weeks. Here are summaries from police reports for the five days
preceding the President’s social media post.
September 22: Approx. 7-10 people. No calls.
September 23: Few people. No activity.
September 24: Approx. 10 people. No calls.
September 25: Approx. 20 people. No calls.
September 26: Approx. 15 people. Energy low, minimal activity.
No incidents.
A police officer’s report from September 26 stated: “Throughout the day we
observed approximately 8-15 people at any given time out front of ICE. Mostly
sitting in lawn chairs and walking around.”
It is hard to understand how a tiny protest causing no disruptions could
possibly satisfy the standard that the President is unable to execute the laws.

Nelson is also citing incidents that happened way back in June as proof that Trump was reasonable in sending in the NG in October.

Nelson wrote the opinion, and he's using the ICE shooting in Dallas (in which no agents were hurt) and the protests in Broadview, IL to justify bringing in the NG in Portland.

Jamie Dimon really thinks Congress and the American people will believe that only one top exec at his multi-billion dollar bank enabled Epstein. Be serious. Today I’m giving Dimon and JPMC another chance to explain why they appeared to enable Epstein's trafficking for years.

Public reporting, which JPMC has not disputed, shows that executives including the head of JPMC’s private bank for the ultra-wealthy, were warned repeatedly about Epstein but kept him on as a client.

New developments in my 3 year Epstein investigation, this time regarding JP Morgan Chase and its CEO, Jamie Dimon. This is a long thread, but worth sticking around for.
