DOJ lawyer Eric Hamilton this morning: “The president’s judgement is unreviewable.”
Perry: Federal law permits the federalization of guard troops in three instances, "not whenever (the president) determines when one of them is met."

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

America, you f**ked up!
She warned us. She had a plan that would have benefited everyday Americans. But too many ignored her—because it was never really about the economy.
Now folks are scared, struggling—and we’re cooked.

Federal workers at a Virginia town hall last night—this says it all!
“I know their goal is to make us miserable.” — so they don’t show up to work.
And Dems, take note: People aren’t here for your ill-timed, tone-deaf donation requests. It’s going to backfire. They want to see you fight for them!

Everything is terrible, or at least it feels like it.
As such, it's more important than ever to take some time for yourself. Remember to do something you enjoy, something that makes you smile, even if no one else understands why it gives you joy.
You owe yourself your mental health.

Every report that describes Tesla “helping” investigators on the car bomb investigation should identify Musk as an avowed racist who recently changed his profile image to a white supremacist symbol but changed it back in time to receive media attention over the car bomb.
