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.

Trump's braggadocio about being able to lead his followers around after he announces right to their faces a detail of their blind idiotic behavior: truly amazing, right? "I could say the stupidest things and you'd clap." He has no respect whatsoever for people who follow him.

Fox, probably being fed info from the regime, says the feds' search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home "stems from a criminal fraud investigation into the Somali-born congresswoman's immigration paperwork, which was filled out by her late father when she was a child." In other words, it's fascist bullshit.

👋 My advice is vote early and in person if your state offers it. Vote early to avoid an hours long line on Election Day. Vote in person so that signature matching doesn’t bounce your ballot. Also voting in person avoids any postal delays. 🗳️

We do need to plan for the possibility of long lines even at early voting, though! I'm vulnerable to viruses so I'll be bringing my mask (along with additional proof of my identity and maybe a small bottle of water). It's gonna be a party in that line, looking forward to it

I agree but I highly suspect there's a even more sinister streak to the Putin/Trump relationship. We don't see it often in public, but one of the last clear public signs was when Trump won the election. Putin had Melania's nude pictures posted along with a veiled threat to Trump; remember that?
