Judge tells the felon he cannot run state elections.
ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge on Friday blocked President Donald Trump ’s attempt to overhaul elections in the U.S., siding with a group of Democratic state attorneys general who challenged the effort as unconstitutional.
The Republican president’s March 25 executive order sought to compel officials to require documentary proof of citizenship for everyone registering to vote for federal elections, accept only mailed ballots received by Election Day and condition federal election grant funding on states adhering to the new ballot deadline.
The attorneys general had argued the directive “usurps the States’ constitutional power and seeks to amend election law by fiat.” The White House had defended the order as “standing up for free, fair and honest elections” and called proof of citizenship a “commonsense” requirement.
Judge Denise J. Casper of the U.S. District Court in Massachusetts said in Friday’s order that the states had a likelihood of success as to their legal challenges.
“The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections,” Casper wrote.
Here’s more proof of exactly how little the felon and his frauds actually care about the military.
A group of roughly 60 individuals were arrested outside the US Capitol on Friday evening after breaching a police line of bike racks and moving toward steps leading to the Capitol Rotunda, according to the Capitol Police.
The group, made up of veterans and military family members, planned a sit-in on the Capitol steps to protest President Donald Trump deploying the National Guard and active-duty Marines in Los Angeles, as well as a military parade on Saturday, Trump’s 79th birthday, according to a news release from organizers.
A group of approximately 75 protesters were demonstrating peacefully at the Supreme Court, just across the street from the US Capitol, according to a statement from the Capitol Police. As the group was leaving the area, officers began establishing a perimeter of bike racks to keep the protesters away from the Capitol.
“A few people pushed the bike rack down and illegally crossed the police line while running towards the Rotunda Steps,” the Capitol Police said. “Our officers immediately blocked the group and began making arrests.”
Police said, “All will be charged with unlawful demonstration and crossing a police line. Additional charges for some will include assault on a police officer and resisting arrest.”
So people who want our constitution to continue to be in effect will be prosecuted, but those people who actually tried to overthrow the government got a mass pardon. Sounds logical to me.
And lest we forget .
On July 28, 1932, U.S. Attorney General William D. Mitchell ordered the veterans removed from all government property. Washington police met with resistance, shot at the protestors, and two veterans were wounded and later died. President Herbert Hoover then ordered the U.S. Army to clear the marchers’ campsite. Army Chief of Staff General Douglas MacArthur commanded a contingent of infantry and cavalry, supported by six tanks. The Bonus Army marchers with their wives and children were driven out, and their shelters and belongings burned.
And who doesn’t loves ome World War II imagery?
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) published a new poster online featuring World War II imagery, urging citizens to help locate and report immigrants who are in the country without documentation.
“Help your country and yourself,” reads the poster, which shows Uncle Sam with a hammer nailing a flier to a wall. “Report all foreign invaders,” it says, providing a phone number to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
Do I really have to remind these fools there is no invasion ? And what do they mean by all ? Didn’t the felon just say those “foreign invaders” working on farms and in hotels and restaurants are great hardworking people his owners he wants to stay?
Awww. The poor little dictator wannabe whines he cannot just say “So shall it be written; so shall it be done!”
President Donald Trump on Thursday declared he doesn’t “feel like a king” after he was asked to address the protests planned across the country in the coming weekend to counter the expensive Washington, D.C., military parade scheduled for Saturday — his birthday and the U.S. Army’s 250th anniversary.
“I don’t feel like a king,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “I have to go through hell to get stuff approved.”
He whined about people saying he wants to be a king, but of coruse he used the royal we . (Same link)
Weatherman has blunt report.
A meteorologist for Miami-based NBC affiliate WTVJ had a frank, chilling warning for his audience about an unprecedented hurricane season this year.
What’s happening?
On June 1, John Morales addressed his audience, which is in a hurricane-prone area, per the Guardian .
WTVJ shared a clip of Morales’ segment, which began with an archival hurricane forecast from “about six years ago.” In the earlier footage, Morales assured viewers that the hurricane then being tracked “would turn,” and he provided an estimate for when the turn would likely occur.
“Remember that?” Morales asked as the clip ended. After identifying the older forecast as one from Hurricane Dorian, the weatherman segued into a jarring warning.
“As you’ve grown accustomed to my presentations over my 34 years in South Florida newscasts, confidently, I went on TV and I told you, ‘It’s going to turn, you don’t need to worry,’” Morales began. However, what he said next was blunt and concerning.
“And I am here to tell you I’m not sure I can do that this year. Because of the cuts, the gutting, the sledgehammer attack on science in general,” Morales continued, referencing well-documented cuts to both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Weather Service.
I’ve lost count how many times I’ve call him this: racist-in-chief .
Donald Trump is trying to justify federal agents handcuffing California Senator Alex Padilla by suggesting that he “looked like an illegal,” his leading biographer has revealed.
“Trump saw these pictures and then has been on the phone saying to people, ‘Nobody’s ever heard of this guy,’” Michael Wolff, the bestselling author, said this week on The Daily Beast Podcast . “As though that’s an excuse. And then he’s gone on to say, ‘and he looks like an illegal.’”
Hey, let me cut funding emergency agencies and then blame you!
President Donald Trump on Tuesday said he will start “phasing out” the Federal Emergency Management Agency at the end of this hurricane season and reduce the amount of federal money that’s given towards disaster relief in the future.
“The FEMA thing has not been a very successful experiment. Very, very expensive and it doesn’t get the job done,” he told reporters from the White House while criticizing the agency’s recent handling of Hurricane Helene, which caused $78.7 billion worth of damage in six states, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration .
and
“If a certain state, as an example, gets hit by a hurricane or tornado … the governor should be able to handle it. And frankly, if they can’t handle the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor,” Trump said Tuesday.
Garcia arraigned on human trafficking charges
Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Salvadorian migrant who was erroneously deported to El Salvador before being returned to the U.S. to face federal prosecution last week, pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges of human trafficking and conspiracy charges.
Garcia’s legal team told U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara Holmes on Friday that they have had time to review the indictment, and Garcia understands what he is accused of, before he formally entered the plea, which stems from a 2022 traffic stop.
Abrego Garcia is charged with the trafficking of undocumented migrants, and conspiring with others to do so.
And yet Mexico is not seeking his extraditon for the deaths of “over 50” people in Mexico as the felon-in-chief’s sock puppets have alleged he is responsible for. Color me surprised if that didn’t happen.
Hegseth is turning into Captain Queeg.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has appeared angry, unkempt, and tentative since March’s Signalgate scandal, Pentagon insiders told New York magazine.
Six sources close to Hegseth described a changed man after the defense secretary shared war plans on a Signal group chat that mistakenly included Jeffrey Goldberg, editor-in-chief of The Atlantic .
“He was more prone to anger and less likely to be clean-shaven in the morning,” New York ‘s story reads . “He seemed reluctant to make decisions; scared of doing the wrong thing, paralyzed as he awaited orders from the White House.”

HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. (KTLA ) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined federal immigration agents Thursday on a raid targeting a man with a criminal record at a Huntington Park, California, home, the agency said.
The raid occurred Thursday morning when about a half-dozen vehicles carrying heavily armed, masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents converged on a home occupied by a 28-year-old pregnant mother of four.
Sabrina Medina said she was in the shower at around 6 a.m. when her brother-in-law first saw the menacing presence in front of the family’s home.
“I was just terrified, I’m not going to lie to you,” Medina told Nexstar’s KTLA. “I was shaking. I was scared. I’ve never gone through anything like this.”
Medina, a U.S. citizen, said she looked out the window and saw 10 men dressed in tactical military gear, all of them carrying rifles.
“I was like, ‘Am I dreaming or is this real?’” she said.
According to Medina, the agents told her to exit her home with her children. Standing in the driveway, they showed her a warrant for her husband, with his name listed as David Garcia.
As she explained that her husband’s name is Jorge and that he was not at the house, one of the agents is captured on an outdoor home surveillance camera turning the device away from what was transpiring.
Why yes Donny, exactly the way the Constitution set it up!actual Constitutional powers of the Presidency really are.

Are you talking about this constitution ?
Nah. Too long and too many big words.
I really feel hopeful today – that Trump’s plans and schemes have been totally ruined. The court have/will put a stop to federalizing the National Guard, and he himself* pulled the plug on mass deportations (I hope Stephen Miller is beside himself with impotent rage today).
*(I’m sure that what actually happened is that his friends in agriculture and hospitality called him up and said “WTF ARE YOU DOING, YOU IDIOT? YOU’RE SCARING AWAY ALL MY CHEAP LABOR!!” )
Now, if a miracle happens and Big Beautiful Bill comes out of the Senate with the worst parts amended to death…

Hey, if you deport all of my workers, I cannot pay you !
Sounds about right for Trump. Remember this one? Trump’s been able to eyeball a person’s ethnicity since at least 1993:
Trump’s comments saying Native Americans ‘don’t look like Indians’ resurface after remarks about Harris’ heritage
Footage of Donald Trump complaining that Native American casino operators “don’t look like Indians to me” has resurfaced in the wake of his shocking comments where he questioned Vice President Kamala Harris’ heritage.
Back in October 1993, Trump spoke at a congressional hearing about the opening of Native American-owned casinos , which would have competed with his own casinos in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The then-businessman had sued the government claiming that Native American casinos had an unfair advantage because, under federal law, they did not pay taxes on casinos on Native American land.
During the hearing, Trump got into a heated exchange with Democratic congressman George Miller where he claimed that many Native American casino owners “don’t look like Indians.”
I had an idea for trumps big beautiful parade. This morning, fior reasons I can’t fathom, our classical music station started the day with a choral version of the Star Spangled Banner. But it gave me an idea I wish I could use.
Before trump paradfe, they should do the SSB, of course ('Murica fuck yeah!). but do all four verses. Make the fat fuck and his sycophants stand for 5 minutes or more while they get some typical MLB anthem singer to streeeetch out those notes as long and as torturous as possible. And they can’t complain, because, hey, don’t you love our country??
I was reading the comments on a Facebook post concerning the use of the military, and one response was that “the Marine Corps is known as The President’s Own, meaning he can deploy them anywhere anytime he wants.”
I think he was serious.
There is a unit of the Marines known as “The President’s Own”. It’s the Marine Corps Band , formerly under the baton of John Philip Sousa. I guess the designation means that the President can tell them to perform “Stars and Stripes Forever” anytime he wants.

Ahem. The proper term is big bullshit parade . Remember, everything he wants to call *big beautiful" is, in fact, absolute bullshit.

I stand corrected. That’s bloody awesome! Pardfe, indeed.

And since it’s the United States Army’s birthday celebration he’s hijacking, add the entire Army Song to it.
What? Oh, I see. Never mind.
Every time I got to McDonalds for a pardfe the machine is broken so I have to settle for a covfefe and an apele pie.
Do you order those along with a hamberder?
In one of Trump’s Truth Social Posts this morning, he spelled the word “perade”. I doubt he is literate enough to notice any other changes to the word.
"REMEMBER, A RAINY DAY PERADE BRINGS GOOD LUCK. I’LL SEE YOU ALL IN D.C.”

And remember when he says he’ll see you, what he means, of course, is you will see him. And his being seen is all that matters to him.

Good luck would be the entire event being canceled.
Or one of the tanks going out of control and just flat out running over him?

The bits I’ve seen of the parade – and I’m mostly watching MSNBC, which is not focusing on the parade itself – have been, frankly, boring. Few horses, few marching bands, no flashy fancy uniforms – but lots of soldiers in olive drab marching (and casually, rather than crisply). And the occasional armored vehicle.
I hope Trump is bored to tears.

Why would he be? They’re all there for him.
