NEW: President Trump’s incoming White House press secretary echoed the debunked pizzagate conspiracy theory, accused Hollywood elites of being pedophilic cannibals, and said Michelle Obama had a penis in posts, reposts, and deleted tweets. (And more)

Twenty-two days away from the midterm election, another politicized “investigation.”
Straight out of the authoritarian playbook.
Breaking News: Homeland Security agents executed a search warrant at the home of Rep. Ilhan Omar of Minnesota. The Justice Department has historically avoided such investigative moves related to political candidates so close to elections. nyti.ms/3Un76Uv

WASHINGTON—Trump’s federal agents raid Rep. Ilhan Omar’s home over decades-old “immigration paperwork” her father filled out when she was a kid.
No charges. Breaking DOJ norms. Over the cliff, folks.

The bare facts-
- Trump admin raided opposition party member’s home 3 weeks before election
- they tipped FoxNews in advance
- Trump, Vance, maga influencers pressured officials to do this
- “investigation” is re her father’s legal immigration 3+ decades ago when she was a child

So the whole 60 days until an election thing is out the window I guess.

Dear white people of the united states who are absolutely obsessed with Minnesota but really just Minneapolis and don’t live here, we don’t care about you or your opinions, but the normalization of racism against our somali neighbors is repulsive, go be an active parent instead

Whoa. Fire from Judge Ana Reyes just now
"I don't know how I could've made it clearer!"
"What has happened has cost the government all of its credibility!"
Judge says Team Trump needed to - but didn't -- alert court before toppling of 100s of trees at DC's East Potomac Park
Mccloser retweeted
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Reyes is furious. She has repeatedly told the government to inform her before any major demolition work was done on the golf course. The abrupt removal of 500 trees, without notice, "has cost the government all of its credibility" in this case.

Tom Emmer is afraid of you.
Tom Emmer is afraid of me.
Tom Emmer is afraid of US.
Why?
Tom Emmer is afraid of reality.
A reality where prices are skyrocketing.
A reality where working families are hurting.
A reality where we love and respect our neighbors — not fear them.
Tom Emmer would rather deny reality than turn his back on a President whose policies are causing so much pain — because doing so would cost him the fame and proximity to power Tom Emmer so desperately craves.
Tom Emmer is running around the country and hiding from us here at home because he’s afraid of stepping outside of the bubble he and his fellow Republicans have created.
We can burst that bubble and get back to reality this November 3.
You deserve better.
You’re ready for better.
And THAT’S what Tom Emmer’s afraid of.
22 days until Election Day. #FlipThe6th #LFG #ReadyForBetter

Dear People On Medicare,

I challenged Ken Paxton to a debate 85 days ago, but no one has heard from him.
People are getting worried.
I’ve received credible reports he's suffering from a rare condition that causes clinical levels of cowardice.
@KenPaxtonTX: I am asking for proof of ability to debate.

KARL: This idea of livestreaming the execution of the Fort Hood shooter -- the US Conference of Catholic Bishops called it 'a barbaric promotion of the culture of death.' Are you in favor of this idea?
TOM EMMER: I am so happy we have a president who will make a decision which is in the best interest of the American people. He will hold the criminals and terrorists accountable.

What happened today was a blitzkrieg on a public park. A cherished DMV space. If you are not livid about the circumstances that led up to this and what exactly the Federal government did in the past 24 hours I don’t know what to tell you.
Let’s do a quick timeline:
1. Last night, a Friday before a long weekend, at 5PM, government lawyers filed a notice that tree cutting would begin in earnest today. The stated reason was a pretext - apparently fulfilling a 2019 Cultural Landscape Review on East Potomac. This was clearly an excuse to bring the gangs in.
For months the government has stated there is no plan, nothing has been decided, going to follow the law. Ya, right.
2. At 5:30AM this morning, 3-4 dozen workers assembled at East Potomac Park. The blitzkrieg began shortly thereafter. They were given clear orders to fell as many trees as possible.
3. For hours, from 6AM until 4PM today, nothing but chainsaws. Healthy trees, old trees, all would come down. No clear estimate for the extent but at least 100 trees came down.
The devastation is apparent. Entire groves cleared. Not a single animal on the peninsula. Not a sound aside from the roar of chainsaws. Earth ripped to pieces.
Anybody that thinks it is acceptable to shred public lands to appeal to the vanity of the President of the United States needs their head examined.
We have been sounding the alarm on this for months. For months we knew this day would come. Where the President would, under dubious legal pretexts, sic his goons on a beloved public space.
This is not a local issue. This is fundamentally a question of if we the people own our public lands or the temporary resident of the White House does.

Astonishing.
48 hours ago the NYT reported on a Treason scandal exponentially bigger than Benghazi, at the center of the Iran War, and involving Trump agents hiding the deaths of Americans in service of a foreign power—and besides the NYT the only outlet I see covering it is PROOF (my pinned post).

How is this fucking legal!!!!!
"Something stinks.
Astoria is one of my favorites on the Oregon coast, a small town of around 9,000 people with great restaurants and crafts shops.
Two of them, a coffee shop and ceramics studio, are owned by a small businessperson, Audrey Long, who’s mailed herself five postcards since August to test the mail.
The results have been grim, particularly since Oregon is a 100% vote-by-mail state.
So far, only two of the postcards have arrived, and the first one took more than a month (and Oregon doesn’t even send out ballots until next Wednesday).
Across the street from one of her shops the town’s City Hall isn’t getting its mail reliably, either, and the same is true for the tenants of a 40-unit apartment building next door, according to reporting by Oregon Public Broadcasting.
Oregon Senator @SenJeffMerkley is looking into it, his office telling OPB’s reporter, “The timing of these issues is especially concerning.”
Raw Story’s Alexandria Jacobson reports that nearly 1,000 armed private security guards have been deployed to at least 55 postal facilities in places with lots of Democrats like Atlanta, Phoenix, Denver, and Chicago.
Instead of using the Post Office’s own police force, Trump’s people have hired Prosegur, a Spanish multinational armed mercenary force that Norway’s sovereign wealth fund blacklisted in 2024 over what its ethics council called “an unacceptable risk that the company is contributing to serious human rights abuses.”
The company’s also been accused of intimidating union organizers across Latin America, which may be why Frank Albergo of the Postal Police Officers Association worries out loud that nobody from the Postal Service seems to be supervising them. He described the result as “private contractors in and around ballots without any federal control.”
In other words, we’re already partway there: armed men who answer to a foreign contractor and Trump instead of to the public, with no transparency and no clear reason for their being there, are overseeing the buildings our ballots pass through this month."
