As I predicted two days ago. It won’t just be the #FBI. DHS HSI, #ICE & DOD will provide surveillance & intelligence.
Straight up police state.

The move means that #transgender #ServiceMembers will now be faced with the choice of either taking a *lump-sum* [meager] separation payment offered to JUNIOR troops [regardless of their actual status] or be removed from the service.

An #AirForce [#USAF]spox told AP that “although service members with 15 to 18 years of HONORABLE service were permitted to apply for an exception to policy, none of the exceptions to policy were approved.”

Another blatantly unconstitutional directive from Trump, this time concerning the census and the 14th Amendment requirement that it count every “whole person” in the U.S. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/aug/07/trump-us-census-excludes-undocumented-immigrants

#Texas Gov #GregAbbott sues to remove TX #House #Democratic Caucus Chair Gene Wu from his seat amid #redistricting battle between TX #Democrats & #Republicans.

“What is at stake here? Nothing less than the future of Texas. If a small fraction of recalcitrant lawmakers choose to run out the clock today, they can do so for any, & every, Regular or Special Session, potentially bankrupting the State in an attempt to get their way,” Abbott’s suit reads.

Donald Trump threatens federal...

@Nonilex Uh… sending the military in to “keep the games safe” doesn’t make it seem like you’re in control of your own nation.

Any respectable country NEVER needs military to keep the Olympic Games safe.

This clown thinks this makes him look strong, but it exposes how incredibly weak and pathetic he is.

"Lindsey Langston, a Florida Republican state committeewoman and the reigning Miss United States, has filed a restraining order against Florida Republican Rep. Cory Mills, after reporting him to local and state law enforcement for harassment, threatening to release sexual videos, and to harm future boyfriends."

When it came to infrastructural projects for the country, the city of Antigo, Wisconsin, where I spent my “formative years,” has a brand new water tower just down the alley from my folks’ place because of bipartisan legislation passed in Congress during the Biden administration. Where’s the Republican-led Congress now? Sure as hell not in session ‘cause House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) didn’t want to bring to a vote whether the Epstein files should be released. 😳

Do you still have freedom of religion? Not under Trump's MAGA government.

The only lobbyists @MarshaBlackburn opposes are the ones that help teachers. www.tennessean.com/story/news/2...

“‘An inexperienced kid just out of law school who says “Trump is the constitution” is exactly the kind of political hack you’d expect Trump to put in charge of subverting protections for federal employees and whistleblowers,’ the conservative lawyer George Conway, once a potential Trump appointee turned fierce critic, told me.”

@peribotsarah @AlliFlowers it definitely doesn’t help that about ½ of my ancestry is unambiguously white (50% Ashkenazi, 50% Scottish, Welsh, Irish, and English, according to ancestry.com). Makes it difficult to feel like it’s a subject I get to have an opinion on.

Really sort of drives home that the whole dynamic of race is to separate people from each other.

2/ 🤦🏻‍♀️ “The remaining lawmakers in the House approved a motion that will allow civil warrants to be issued for the lawmakers who fled the state. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott previously threatened to remove lawmakers who didn’t show up today.”

Just for the record: we're - once again - not white.

Texas Democrats With The Win On Monday!
