"Let them call me rebel and welcome, I feel no concern from it; but I should suffer the misery of devils, were I to make a whore of my soul by swearing allegiance to one whose character is that of a sottish, stupid, stubborn, worthless, brutish man."

Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1776
Taking the day off from the collapse of America to remind my children of the importance of not lighting candles.
The irony of demanding testing while also not paying the people in charge of maintaining our nuclear arsenal.
Q: What prompted you to announce you're resuming nuclear testing right before the meeting with Xi?

TRUMP: They seem to all be nuclear testing. We have more nuclear weapons than anybody. We don't do testing. We halted it many years ago, but w/ others doing testing I think it's appropriate we do also
Notable members of the "We Have Our Own Militia Club": California, New York, Illinois, and Oregon.

These state militias are small, but they do not answer to the President. Virginia is also a member, and state law authorizes it to grow quite large, which a new governor might push come January.
Every Democratic governor needs to have a serious conversation with their Adjutant general about the ramifications of this. Are states really okay with supplying people that will oppress their own citizens?

Remember that 20 states have their own defense forces that CANNOT be federalized at all.
En banc, let's go!!!!
They're slow moving, but I do have some faith left in the federal judges sitting on the bench right now.
BREAKING: The full Ninth Circuit vacates last week’s 2-1 order granting DOJ a stay of the district court’s TRO in the case over Trump’s National Guard effort in Oregon. The court will rehear DOJ’s stay request w an 11-judge panel.

Today’s order means Judge Immergut’s TRO remains in effect for now.
I don't remember any additional security during the Sniper either. But these guys are at every station and still standing around town.
Nothing says "Freedom!" more than a military presence at every Metro station.
Duffy is about to FAFO that California does not need the rest of the country. How long until CA "pulls" the option for CDL drivers to cross state lines with agricultural products? Oops. No food for you, Sean.
Sean Duffy: "I'm about to pull $160 million from California, and as we pull more money we also have the option of pulling California's ability to issue commercial driver's licenses."
It should be much more survivable for Cuba. Right now it looks like this will be the worst hurricane on record for Jamaica and it'll hit a huge population in Kingston. Couldn't draw up a worse scenario.
Non-essential personnel and families from Naval Base Guantanamo Bay are being evacuated, and right now the track looks like a direct hit on the base. Mission essential and any detainees will presumably hunker down in hurricane shelters (repurposed fallout shelters) until it's clear.
With the US falling apart, what nation is going to help Jamaica? Current forecast is a direct hit by Hurricane Melissa as a Cat 4 or 5. Absolute nightmare scenario for the people there. 30-40 inches of rain is just... unfathomable.
Even if you have an attorney, ICE has been moving people from facility to facility in an attempt to hide them. It is terrible.
Happy birthday to me! This should be enlightening.
#BREAKING U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis orders Border Patrol commander Greg Bovino into court Tuesday.
Literally just thought the same thing. "Well fuck, it's News Dump Friday."
They destroyed an entire wing of the White House in a matter of days. There is no way anything of value was salvaged or mitigation was taken to protect people from lead or asbestos.
Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.
So, in theory, if I'm two blocks away at my hotel next week, walking around, would I be in danger of inhaling this stuff?
Realistically, how dangerous is the White House and the surrounding area going to be moving forward? I have no concept of how long asbestos can harm you if it's in the air or on the ground and you walk through the grass next year.
Doubtful, but the state senators have already threatened to cut UVA off (financially) for signing. They don't meet until the new year though.
I am begging a journalist to ask one of these Representatives or Senators what their future plans are since Congress has no authority or purpose now that they've ceded it all to Trump.
What the actual UVA.
The Interim President's message to the UVA community.
You're allowed to redirect with your skate. Good goal.
