The American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) union has now released a statement [SEE HERE] saying both sides have proved their point, and it is now time to end the federal government shutdown and pass a short-term continuing resolution (CR).

This move will put significant pressure on the Leftists and Democrats to stop their federal government shutdown. The AFGE represents 820,000 federal and D.C. government workers.  The position by the AFGE carries with it a cultural component in alignment with the DC membership makeup.

In approximately one week SNAP benefits will be at risk, and collectively the interests of the AFGE and the AME (African Methodist Episcopal Church) come into alignment. The change in position is not coincidental.

WASHINGTON — The country’s largest union representing federal workers is calling for lawmakers to pass a short-term spending measure to immediately end the government shutdown, urging Democrats to abandon their current position and join Republicans in supporting a stopgap solution.

An interesting development, as one of the embedded Lawfare operatives is exposed by CNN. According to documents reviewed by CNN, the Dept of Justice fired Virginia prosecutor Beth Yusi for sending the unauthorized case file, against New York Attorney General Letitia James, to her personal email account.

Apparently, the transfer of files is the process used by DOJ Lawfare operatives to leak information to the media. Beth Yusi (pictured left) was fired for doing it, and shockingly CNN has the receipts.

(VIA CNN) – The Virginia federal prosecutor who resisted bringing mortgage fraud charges against New York Attorney General Letitia James sent investigative files with James’ personally identifying information to her own private email account, according an email reviewed by CNN.

The prosecutor, Beth Yusi, was dismissed earlier this month at least in part because of the mishandling of the personal information, people familiar with her termination said.

Yusi’s attorney Margaret Donovan told CNN that the former prosecutor “has no record of any such email” and “has never used her personal email account for any portion of any investigation. (read more)

In related matters, Letitia James appeared in court today, and took to the steps of the courthouse to say she was being politically targeted for her mortgage fraud.  The hypocrisy is rich considering James ran on a specific platform to target her political opposition.

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals has cleared the way for the Trump administration to send National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon. The 9th CCA lifted a lower court’s temporary restraining order that previously blocked the deployment. [Ruling Here]

A three-judge panel for the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals voted 2-1 to stay a district court order that had prevented the deployment of National Guard troops to the city. The majority opinion found it was likely that the president had lawfully exercised his statutory authority.

WASHINGTON — New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat who has clashed with President Donald Trump, was indicted Thursday by a federal grand jury in Virginia, three sources familiar with the matter confirmed to NBC News.

Interestingly it appears the Democrat machinery has decided to torpedo former House member Katie Porter from her primary race for governor. Monday a controversial video segment appeared showcasing the unstable disposition of Mrs Porter, and today someone from inside the Biden govt decided to deploy another video showing her angry state of mind.

As noted by the New York Post, “California gubernatorial hopeful Katie Porter snapped and tried to storm out of an interview after being asked a simple question about President Trump — with the Democrat raging “I don’t want this all on camera.” Footage of the bizarre encounter, which aired on Monday and quickly started going viral, captured Porter flipping out when the reporter asked how she planned to win Republican votes as she tries to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom.” WATCH:

The second video is even more interesting as it comes from the vaults of the Democrat leadership apparatus.  The second video emphasizing the unstable Porter narrative was recorded during an interview with former Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm in July 2021.

The video was sent to, and released by, Politico [STORY HERE].

Publicly vowing to maintain criminality where possible, Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson on Monday signed an executive order limiting where federal law enforcement can assemble, prohibiting any/all crime fighting efforts from using city-owned spaces for law enforcement activities.

“In recent weeks, federal agents used several City-owned properties—including parking lots near Harrison and Kedzie, and a vacant lot at 46th and Damen—as staging sites for immigration enforcement,” the mayor’s office said in a release about the order. “Such use of City property undermines community trust and runs counter to Chicago’s Welcoming City Ordinance, which ensures that all residents—regardless of immigration status—can live, work, and seek services without fear.”

Chicago is well known as a safe haven for domestic communist activity. Radical political groups, the Weather Underground, Revolutionary Communists, Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and their Chicago Alinsky disciples all have called Chicago home for their base of operations.

As a result, it does not come as a surprise that all these hard-core leftist elements have converged in commonality to physically fight against any effort to bring peace and stability to the Chicago metropolitan area. However, the scale and scope of their activity is still alarming to hear when explained by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

In this interview Secretary Noem notes that bounties of $10,000 per kill have been placed on the heads of the ICE/CBP officials currently operating to arrest criminal cartel members and illegal aliens.  While she is careful to avoid giving details of ongoing investigations and interdiction efforts, Secretary Noem notes the scale of the threat presented by the alignment of these radical groups and their support for the criminal cartels who operate in the area.  WATCH:

A disturbing set of text messages from Virginia Democrat nominee Jay Jones has recently surfaced.  The text message exchange shows Mr. Jay Jones openly advocating for shooting then Republican speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates Todd Gilbert.

The text messages show a rare glimpse into the psyche of a Democrat politician running for higher office. Even if you take the politics of the issue out of the equation, these are the text messages from a severely disturbed mind.

“Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler, and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head,” the text reads in part, referring to Republican Speaker Todd Gilbert and the two dictators.

Factually, well beyond politics, this is not an emotionally or cognitively stable person.

The disturbing messages come amid a larger conversation about Democrats and Leftists promoting violence in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, and the politically motivated execution of Democratic Minnesota State Representative Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark Hortman in their home earlier this year.

Democrats have been defending their promotion of violence for several weeks, and now the documentary evidence, provided by Virginia Democrat candidate Jay Jones, is staring them directly in the face.  Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the Virginia Democrat Party is now defending Jay Jones and supporting his violent messaging.

Using his Truth Social account, President Donald Trump expresses his appreciation to radical leftists and Democrats for providing the “unprecedented opportunity,” within their government shutdown, to permanently downsize the federal government.

“I have a meeting today with Russ Vought, he of PROJECT 2025 Fame, to determine which of the many Democrat Agencies, most of which are a political SCAM, he recommends to be cut, and whether or not those cuts will be temporary or permanent. I can’t believe the Radical Left Democrats gave me this unprecedented opportunity. They are not stupid people, so maybe this is their way of wanting to, quietly and quickly, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
