Every time I see this app, I think of the song Blue Sky by Ian Moore. It's just a fantastic song and was one of my favorites back in the 90's music scene in Austin.

It appears that the President has dissolved the House of Representatives. It won't reconvene as long as the 218 threshold continues. If they somehow solve that problem (death, blackmail, special election, 2026 midterm elections, etc.) then perhaps it will reconvene.

Lying is their shibboleth. It's how they know each other. The more outrageous the lie, the more committed you are to the White Christian Nationalist project.

They want to inflict pain on their perceived enemies. Their base will eat this for dinner and ask for seconds.

This bill passing the Senate is the surest sign yet that the House has been dissolved.

Why would they not want this story circulated? That seems like a ridiculous claim. It is exactly what they have been aiming to do for decades.

For obvious reasons, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Facial recognition has high false positive rates for immigrants in particular!

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people

www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...
Ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee Bennie G. Thompson said in a statement “Mobile Fortify is a dangerous tool in the hands of ICE, and it puts American citizens at risk of detention and even deportation.” He also said “ICE officials have told us that an apparent biometric match by Mobile Fortify is a ‘definitive’ determination of a person’s status and that an ICE officer may ignore evidence of American citizenship—including a birth certificate—if the app says the person is an alien. ICE using a mobile biometrics app in ways its developers at CBP never intended or tested is a frightening, repugnant, and unconstitutional attack on Americans’ rights and freedoms.”

Anti-progressive political campaigns = "I'm against my opponent" rather than offering a clear vision for their own leadership.

We'll see this in every Democratic primary in 26. Wherever there's a progressive candidate there'll be a (white) conservative dog whistler indistinguishable from MAGA.

I want you to pause for a moment. The Steady State...former officers of the CIA, NSA, DIA, State Department, and other national-security agencies posted this earlier. They shared a post made by the Department of Homeland Security.

Ladies and gentlemen, friends and neighbors...this...is not a drill.

When the state begins speaking in the language of purity and duty, history warns what comes next.

Not if we want to win. Harris lost against Trump. Running her again won't change many voters' minds. We need someone more compelling.

We can get caught up in virtue signaling or we can plan to win. It will take an overwhelming majority of votes to overcome the R's election scheming.

Congress isn't going to do anything for the next 14 months unless there's a way to get around the 218 Epstein doc threshold.

Paying to help keep the Epstein files under wraps? I wonder why?

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

It will not reopen -ever- unless they have a solution for the 218 threshold.

After the 2026 midterms is the *earliest* we'll see it resume unless someone dies, resigns, or is added through special election or appointment. Or is blackmailed to change their vote.

Not until after the midterms, and only if they retain a majority.

It's why he's destroying the White House. The Presidency is no longer about governing, but about grift. Everything will exist solely to enrich the Autocrat.
