This is fight that we need to see from our Senators in California. I’m looking at you Schiff and Padilla.
“Fuck Trump”, quoted from a new campaign ad for former Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton who is running for the Senate in Illinois.

#Republican calls are growing for a deeper #investigation into the fatal #Minneapolis shooting
A growing number of Republicans are pressing for a deeper investigation into federal #immigration tactics in #Minnesota after a U.S. #BorderPatrol agent fatally shot a man in Minneapolis, a sign that the #Trump administration’s accounting of events may face bipartisan scrutiny.

This article is worth the time to read.
A quick cruise through #Dailykos and #Bluesky tells me what I suspected. Rank and file aren't going to like the deal.
It's a cave when you have the upper hand BUT..
Democrats were on the precipise of overplaying their hand. Tuesday was the win. Obstinately holding out would have made the public start to turn on us as real consequences ( planes, military pay, SNAP..) continued to affect millions.
The win is the GOP will have to open the House. #epsteinFiles

Downtown #LosAngeles was a sea of blue clothing and confetti Monday as Dodger fans took to the streets to celebrate their team’s back-to-back #WorldSeries wins.
But some fans are questioning if their love for the team is reciprocated.
After all, #Dodgers owner #MarkWalter has a financial stake in the ongoing #ICE raids that are ravaging #SouthernCalifornia’s #Latino communities.

Great new Daily Kos cartoon. Dance with the Devil, anyone?
Canada’s ad using Ronald Reagan’s argument against tariffs.
From the DailyKos, "According to the BBC, the Province of Ontario had put together a one minute ad featuring clips from a Ronald Reagan radio address”.
I’m not a Reagan fan, but he’s correct in this instance.

Federal judges call SCOTUS’s shadow docket “inappropriate,” “opaque,” and a “judicial crisis” – Daily Kos

The current Supreme Court is making unprecedented use of the ‘shadow docket’. Reaction has been mixed. Liberals say the Court is a rubber stamp enabling Trump’s imperial presidency. MAGAs argue that SCOTUS’s conservative bloc is doing God’s work by thwarting anti-democratic rulings by unelected, activist, lower court judges.
However, politics aside, Supreme Court rulings impact how the Judiciary does business. To understand the practical effect of the Court’s use of the shadow docket, the New York Times polled US District and Appeals Court judges.
It reported its findings in an article titled: Federal Judges, Warning of ‘Judicial Crisis,’ Fault Supreme Court’s Emergency Orders.”
The subhead summarized the substance of the piece. To wit:
Dozens of sitting judges shared with The Times their concerns about risks to the courts’ legitimacy as the Supreme Court releases opaque orders about Trump administration policies.
The Times wrote to “hundreds of federal judges across the country” — and 65 replied. The respondents are not named. But the paper said presidents of both parties had appointed them. And that, while there was a difference in degree, Judges across the political spectrum worried about SCOTUS’s high-handedness. In the NYT’s words:
Of the judges who responded, 28 were nominated by Republican presidents, including 10 by Mr. Trump; 37 were nominated by Democrats.
Adding: While those nominated by Democrats were more critical of the Supreme Court, judges nominated by presidents of both parties expressed concerns.
The paper asked the judges if they agreed or disagreed with the following statement: The Supreme Court has made appropriate use of the emergency docket since President Trump returned to office. Overall 72% said SCOTUS’s use was inappropriate, 9% hedged, and 18% (all Republican) said it was appropriate.
Tellingly, while almost all Democrats said SCOTUS was on the wrong side of the line, nearly half the Republicans concurred. The conclusion is inescapable. When half your team thinks your side stinks, it stinks.

"A moment of reckoning comes for every bully, strongman, and dictator. Always. See History. GNR”, #DailyKos
"Nobody likes a bully. Not even the human parasites who lurk by his side, snickering nervously as he picks on people who are (temporarily) unable to defend themselves. In the end, the bully has no friends or allies. Everyone fears and despises him, biding their time until the bully is weak and exposed, ready to be overthrown. That moment of reckoning has come for every bully, strongman, and dictator who has ever lived. See History.
Trump does not understand this lesson."
I'm mighty proud that my latest post to #DailyKos went viral. Evidently I'm not the only one who's long been baffled by this very troubling phenomenon that defies all objective logic.
The research I did for this piece is largely based on texting conversations with a couple of evangelicals whom I've known for several decades, plus interactions with three men's bible groups. No minds have been changed, but at least now I understand where they're coming from.
