Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Joe McCarthy would be so proud. A J6er now working as a lead MAGA influencer in Oregon says his “team” found flyers in Portland doxxing ICE agents but he can’t show them to you…

BREAKING: My team has removed and recovered 15-20 fliers of @icegov agents being doxed around Portland, Oregon.
Fliers include full names, addresses, and images of ICE agents.
This is what the media WON'T show you. Disgusting.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.
a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

"Government" isn't shutdown. The Trump administration continues to destroy the White House, kidnap people, and take bribes. The only thing "shutdown" is the branch of government that could stop Trump (Congress), which is odd because Republican-controlled Congress is too craven to do that anyway.

LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote. This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.
LAWSUIT UPDATE RE: NATIONAL GUARD IN PORTLAND: 

The Ninth Circuit just paused the three-judge panel’s order on our first TRO until Tuesday so they can complete their en banc vote, deciding whether the full court will hear the case.
 
This means for now, both our TROs preventing National Guard deployment remain in effect.What's next: 

Today’s Ninth Circuit’s administrative stay will last until 5pm on Tuesday 10/28. This will maintain the status quo—preventing deployment of National Guard troops in Oregon—while the court votes whether to rehear the case en banc. Given this development, we expect the second TRO will remain in place as well.
 
Our team is working around the clock preparing for the trial in the district court on the merits of this case. The trial will begin on Wednesday 10/29.“This decision gives the court time to fully consider the serious constitutional questions at stake. It also ensures there won’t be a federal deployment while that process plays out—an important step in protecting Oregonians’ rights and keeping our communities peaceful.”
