And then think of what a cornered psychopathic human being with the morals and instincts of a rat and control of over five thousand nuclear warheads would do.

Trump Pardons Two for Crimes Related to Jan. 6

Pam Bondi has posted rants and videos saying that there’ll be no mercy for those who threaten federal agents.

But she and her boss just pardoned a woman who threatened to shoot federal agents.

Why did this Florida woman get a pass? She’s MAGA.

Trump doesn’t care about federal agents. Never did.

1. This is a thread on freedom, and how easy it is to lose.

Over the past 2,000 years in Europe, there have been few periods and places of freedom. For much of the time we lived under highly oppressive tyrannies of various kinds, whether small or grand, local or imperial, secular or religious.🧡

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

NEWS: A federal judge says Gregory Bovino lied under oath. The Department of Homeland Security has a massive credibility problem. Two federal judges in Chicago have ripped the government’s credibility.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

Questions After Quantico U.S. military commanders around the world will be working to provide steady leadership after Hegseth’s bravado and Trump’s bluster.

When Washington speaks, commanders must answer. But let’s not forget: Those commanders need a foundation of lawful, principled leadership to stand on. www.thebulwark.com/p/questions-...

So Speaker Johnson gave the congress another week off. Paid of course, while they shut the govt down.

The GOP has made it clear they have no interest in compromise with Dems. So they will have to figure how to reopen their govt that they closed.

And they get another vacation

Editorial: A sun-soaked Sunday in downtown Chicago, marred by a Trumpian show of force Dozens of heavily armed immigration agents descend on downtown Chicago on a gorgeous early fall Sunday. What’s wrong with this picture?

From the Editorial Board:

A beautiful early fall weekend in downtown Chicago. Sun-splashed lakefront. Families enjoying the museums and city sights. Packs of men in military fatigues carrying high-powered long guns.

Which of those images doesn’t belong?

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Trump told military leaders today that US cities would become β€œtraining grounds.”

Do you understand it yet, America? This IS the talk of a dictator.

I’m not afraid to say that word. I’m afraid that my former party is going along with it.

I'd be curious to know who much it cost the American taxpayers to flying generals in from all over the world so Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump would have a captive audience to witness their weird and dangerous witlessness live.

Fox is showing viewers footage of vandalism from 2020. The White House is touting misleading statistics on violence. Trump’s allies are telling his base that the left is a dire threat, and even he is buying it. www.pbump.net/o/how-trumpw...

Government shutdown, farmers needing to be bailed out, troops in the streets, country bitterly divided, revolving door of appointees, Putin getting coddled, constant chaos … must be another Trump term.
