  7. 7 House #Democrats Vote With #GOP to Give #ICE More Money Despite Deadly Invasions of #USCities

    “The billions in funding in this bill will only embolden ICE and CBP to continue arresting our neighbors—immigrant and US citizen alike,” warned one ACLU attorney.

    Excerpt: "Democratic Reps. #HenryCuellar (Texas), #DonDavis (NC), #LauraGillen (NY), #JaredGolden (Maine), #VicenteGonzalez (Texas), #MarieGluesenkampPerez (Wash.), and #TomSuozzi (NY) joined all Republicans but Rep. Thomas Massie (KY) for the 220-207 vote that sent the legislation to the Senate—where the GOP also has a majority, but it’s so narrow that most bills need some Democratic support to pass.

    "House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) notably refused to pressure members of his caucus to oppose the bill, even though voters clearly oppose federal operations featuring violence and lawlessness by agents with Customs and Border Protection (#CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (#ICE) everywhere from California and #Illinois, to #Minnesota and #Maine."

  12. Seeing Things – The Trump And Hegseth Show: Toxic Masculinity – Liza Donnelly

    The Trump And Hegseth Show: Toxic Masculinity

    And use US Cities as military training grounds

    By Liza Donnelly, Sep 30, 2025

    Today, Pete Hegseth and Trump gathered 800+ Generals, spending millions to bring them to Virgina just so he and Hegseth could have a photo op. It was a joke, Hegseth looked riduculous. A former FOX talk show host talking to 800 men and women who have risked their lives for our democracy. I don’t really want to spend too much time on it, but it really annoys me. Their effort to ram a toxic brand of machismo down our throats is offensive.

    Hegseth: “No more climate change worship, no more division, distraction or gender delusions,”

    There are no words to describe this Not My President. –DrWeb

    He wants to get rid of facial hair in the military.

    He wants everyone in the military to be really “fit.”

    He defended his firing of more than a dozen military leaders, many of them people of color and women: the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Charles Q. Brown Jr., who is Black; the first woman to command the Navy, Adm. Lisa Franchetti; and the U.S. military’s representative to the NATO military committee, Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield.

    Walking around stage, he said he wanted to change the military’s “stupid rules of engagement” that he claims limit war fighters in the field. Hegseth had fired the top lawyers for the Army, Navy and Air Force in an effort to “remake the military into a force that is more aggressive on the battlefield and less hindered by the laws of armed conflict.”

    He wants his “Department of War” (what Trump wants the Defense Dept to be renamed, but Congress has not approved it) to be able to play dirty, I guess.

    Trump followed Hegseth, and try as hard as he could, he could not get the military leaders to laugh or even applaud. It is customary for miltary personal to remain non-partisan in situations like this, much to Trump’s chagrin. NY Times reporter Maggie Haberman wrote, It was striking how many times President Trump tried to get the assembled military leaders to break character, or laugh when he mocked his predecessors or used his typical political lines. It was also striking how often they resisted before Trump finally threw in the towel.”

    In his rambling delivery, repeating so many of his grievances to the assembled group of high ranking professionals, he brought up tariffs, Joe Biden and the autopen, the southern border, CNN, his feelings about Putin and his desire for a Nobel Peace Prize he feels he deserves. “I think we should maybe start thinking about battleships by the way,” he said at one point, pausing to bring up a 1950s documentary series about naval warfare. “I used to watch ‘Victory at Sea.’ I love ‘Victory at Sea.’”

    Trump said he told Hegseth that “we should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military,” referring to urban areas in the US.

    This man is crazy and dangerous.

    The goverment is close to a shutdown, which will furlough many and stop services. Speaker Johnson has set it up so that this will happen: he canceled votes earlier this month after Republicans in his chamber pushed through a stopgap spending measure to fund the government through Nov. 21. That was a bid to “pressure Democrats into accepting the Republicans’ proposal, but they refused, blocking the measure in that chamber, where the bill is currently stalled, awaiting the 60 votes it would need to move.”

With a looming #GovernmentShutdown, and military invasions of #USCities, and vaccines either restricted or not mandated, it's not looking good people...

    3 Pillars of Trump’s Power Are Tested, as Pivotal Cases Head to Supreme Court

    The Brief September 10, 2025

    The Brief September 10, 2025

    Editor’s Note: Audio on the linked article/site. Not available to embed.

    In early September, President Donald Trump’s White House sent out a press release laying out ways Trump has been “delivering historic results.” It outed $158 billion in tariff revenues coming into the U.S. since Trump took office. It said that Trump’s border crackdown has led to a 97% drop in northward migration from Central America and that his use of the military for law enforcement in Washington DC is a “model” for other cities.

    It was just the latest example of the Administration highlighting how Trump is following through on his campaign promises to aggressively deploy tariffs, ramp up deportations, and send the National Guard into U.S. cities. But a recent drumbeat of court rulings have called those three central actions of Trump’s presidency into question. Lower courts are repeatedly finding that Trump has exceeded his powers as President under the Constitution. In just the last two weeks, federal courts ruled that most of his tariffs are illegal, that he violated a law prohibiting the use of soldiers for law enforcement inside the U.S., and that many of his most high-profile deportations were based on a faulty reading of law.

    The White House is challenging all of those decisions, setting the stage for the Supreme Court to ultimately determine if if Trump may have to rein in his efforts in those areas The high court, where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority thanks to the three justices Trump hand-picked during his first term, has so far taken an expansive view of Trump’s ability to act.

    Here are three major actions Trump has taken that are in jeopardy and appear destined for the Supreme Court:

    Issuing Tariffs

    A federal court ruled in late August that most of Trump’s tariffs are illegal because they were imposed without Congressional approval. But that lower court held off on enacting its order to give the Trump Administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, the high court announced it was expediting the tariff case, demanding briefs from all sides from the government and the plaintiffs by Sept. 19 in order to hear in-person arguments in early November.

    The case was brought by a group of small businesses that said the tariffs Trump imposed so far “amount to an average tax increase of $1,200-$2,800 per American household.” The business owners argued that issuing those tariffs were beyond the President’s powers under the Constitution. Article I of the Constitution empowered Congress to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” and demands that bills for raising revenue “shall originate in the House of Representatives.” (CONTINUED)

    The case was brought by a group of small businesses that said the tariffs Trump imposed so far “amount to an average tax increase of $1,200-$2,800 per American household.” The business owners argued that issuing those tariffs were beyond the President’s powers under the Constitution. Article I of the Constitution empowered Congress to “lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises” and demands that bills for raising revenue “shall originate in the House of Representatives.” (CONTINUED)

    In early September, President Donald Trump’s White House sent out a press release laying out ways Trump has been “delivering historic results.” It outed $158 billion in tariff revenues coming into the U.S. since Trump took office. It said that Trump’s border crackdown has led to a 97% drop in northward migration from Central America and that his use of the military for law enforcement in Washington DC is a “model” for other cities.

    It was just the latest example of the Administration highlighting how Trump is following through on his campaign promises to aggressively deploy tariffs, ramp up deportations, and send the National Guard into U.S. cities. But a recent drumbeat of court rulings have called those three central actions of Trump’s presidency into question. Lower courts are repeatedly finding that Trump has exceeded his powers as President under the Constitution. In just the last two weeks, federal courts ruled that most of his tariffs are illegal, that he violated a law prohibiting the use of soldiers for law enforcement inside the U.S., and that many of his most high-profile deportations were based on a faulty reading of law.

    The White House is challenging all of those decisions, setting the stage for the Supreme Court to ultimately determine if if Trump may have to rein in his efforts in those areas The high court, where conservatives hold a 6-3 majority thanks to the three justices Trump hand-picked during his first term, has so far taken an expansive view of Trump’s ability to act.

    Here are three major actions Trump has taken that are in jeopardy and appear destined for the Supreme Court:

    Issuing Tariffs

    A federal court ruled in late August that most of Trump’s tariffs are illegal because they were imposed without Congressional approval. But that lower court held off on enacting its order to give the Trump Administration time to appeal to the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, the high court announced it was expediting the tariff case, demanding briefs from all sides from the government and the plaintiffs by Sept. 19 in order to hear in-person arguments in early November.

    The case was brought by a group of small businesses that said the tariffs Trump imposed so far “amount to an average tax increase of $1,200-$2,800 per American household.” The business owners argued that issuing those tariffs were beyond the President’s powers under the Constitution.
