AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Miller has Fascist Hissy #3 today after another court ruling. This one from a judge appointed by radical left marxist Donald J Trump.

Trump’s Flood of Emergency Appeals Is Straining the Judicial System The administration has turned to the Supreme Court at a record pace, and the justices have issued orders that lower courts have struggled to interpret.

Trump has sought emergency intervention by the Supreme Court 28 times in the first eight months of his new term, more than Bush, Obama and Biden did combined over 20 years. www.wsj.com/us-news/law/...

Hilarious

The Shutdown That Really Means Pay Up First poll shows Americans blame Republicans

There’s a very good reason polls show Republicans are being blamed for the shutdown.

Which judges have ruled against the Trump admin?

Reagan appointed judges .
Clinton appointed judges.
Bush appointed judges.
Obama appointed judges.
Biden appointed judges.
Trump appointed judges.

Trump to attend gathering of top generals, upending last-minute plans President Trump will attend the unusual gathering of hundreds of generals summoned to Virginia on short notice by Pete Hegseth, adding new security concerns.

“The cost of flying and lodging the military leaders will be in the millions.

“The event has also raised security concerns about having the top leadership in one place, and if the government shuts down, it could leave key personnel stranded from their units”

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

Politico: Democrats are demanding Republicans negotiate a bipartisan stopgap spending measure. Among their asks is for the GOP to extend certain Affordable Care Act subsidies, which were expanded by Congress in 2021 and are due to sunset at the end of the year. President Donald Trump on Thursday blamed Democrats for making “unserious and ridiculous” demands, foreshadowing what is likely to be the go-to talking point should neither side blink ahead of the Tuesday night deadline. “He read all the shit they’re asking for, and he said, ‘on second thought, go fuck yourself,’” the White House official said.

If you’re worried about losing your health care, apparently Trump has a message for you:

As of 2pm today - less than 6 hours after receiving formal notice that the President had federalized Oregon’s National Guard in Portland - we filed a lawsuit.

The president has overstepped his authority.

One way to put it

DOJ Deletes Study Showing Domestic Terrorists Are Most Often Right Wing Following Charlie Kirk’s assassination and the Trump administration’s promise to go after the “radical left” a study showing most domestic terrorism is far-right was disappeared.

www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

So Trump gets DOJ to drop an obvious bribery case against Tom Homan, then fires the US Attorney who found insufficient evidence to prosecute Letitia James, then threatens to fire Pam Bondi and replace her with dunce Lindsey Halligan unless she immediately indicts his enemies.

The warfighters in DC got the trash picked up, now time to mulch.

DOGE wasn’t a cost-cutting venture. It was a data mining operation for private interests. Trump opened the gates to the castle from inside for invaders with bad and greedy intent to plunder and exploit.

New Texas Election Map Is Racially Biased, Lawsuit Says Voting-rights advocates are suing, saying Texas Republicans' new congressional maps weaken the electoral influence of Black voters.

“The state of Texas is only 40 percent white, but white voters control over 73 percent of the state’s congressional seats,” Derrick Johnson, President and CEO of the NAACP, said.

“.. The Oval Office photos don’t resolve those questions. They raise them. And until the press decides to treat Trump’s health the way it treated Biden’s, makeup and memos will remain the White House’s first—and last—line of defense.”

A Dangerous Liaison Trump and RFK Jr. play politics with public health and safety

The acting head of the CDC is a tech bro with no medical training who embraced Covid conspiracy theories. Talk about malpractice.

Honoring Ashli Babbitt Dishonors the Military If there’s no difference between upholding the Constitution and attacking it, then there’s no honor in service.

"She did not die defending the Constitution. She died trying to overturn it. She was not protecting lives at a gate in Iraq; she was forcing her way through windows in the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power."
