The call, first reported by Politico, highlights the proactive effort and coordination among law enforcement nationwide following the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021, which exposed how quickly social media chatter can morph into an attack.
Multiple sources told CNN the recent developments could embolden violent extremists to engage in attacks or other criminal activity targeting abortion clinic staff, patients or clinic facilities.
One law enforcement source added that government officials -- including the nine justices and their staffs -- or abortion-related advocacy groups and abortion-related First Amendment-protected events could be targets for violence.
The source also said social media chatter against the justices and members of Congress is being tracked -- work that has become standard practice in an era of heightened use of social media to express extremist ideas.
Republican Sen. John Cornyn of Texas introduced a bill this week to expand Supreme Court Police authority to include security for the justices' immediate families and other members of the Supreme Court, citing concern over the hyper-politicized landscape. Democratic Sen. Chris Coons (Delaware) signed on to co-sponsor the bill Friday.
Concern about the justices' security is just the latest in an on-going conversation about how to protect members of the judiciary, who oversee high-profile, dangerous cases but lack individual security teams.
CNN previously reported the watchdog for the US Marshals Service found in a June 2021 report that the agency "does not have the resources or proactive threat detection capabilities that the USMS has determined it needs to meet its protective service obligations for USMS-protected persons, including judges."
The US Marshals Service protects roughly 2,700 judges nationwide, and notes that threats or inappropriate contacts have spiked in recent years. The inspector general report noted the agency responded to more than 4,200 threats in 2020, up 81% from 2016.
The DC Metropolitan Police Department and US Capitol Police have added officers to the area since the leaked opinion surfaced.

THere has not been a right wing "riot" prior to or since the Jan 6th riot... and we now know that both FBI and Antifa were part of the instigators.
Oh... and unlike the Floyd BLM riots that caused over 2 billion in damages the Capital riot caused almost no damage. They estimated 25 million, but much of that included their own costs to put up fencing and other security costs "post-riot".
Nobody likes abortion, even when safe and legal. It’s not what any woman would choose for a happy time on Saturday night. But nobody likes women bleeding to death on the bathroom floor from illegal abortions either. What to do?
Perhaps a different way of approaching the question would be to ask: What kind of country do you want to live in? One in which every individual is free to make decisions concerning his or her health and body, or one in which half the population is free and the other half is enslaved?
Women who cannot make their own decisions about whether or not to have babies are enslaved because the state claims ownership of their bodies and the right to dictate the use to which their bodies must be put. The only similar circumstance for men is conscription into an army. In both cases there is risk to the individual’s life, but an army conscript is at least provided with food, clothing, and lodging. Even criminals in prisons have a right to those things. If the state is mandating enforced childbirth, why should it not pay for prenatal care, for the birth itself, for postnatal care, and – for babies who are not sold off to richer families – for the cost of bringing up the child?
And if the state is very fond of babies, why not honour the women who have the most babies by respecting them and lifting them out of poverty? If women are providing a needed service to the state – albeit against their wills – surely they should be paid for their labour. If the goal is more babies, I am sure many women would oblige if properly recompensed. Otherwise, they are inclined to follow the natural law: placental mammals will abort in the face of resource scarcity.

But I doubt that the state is willing to go so far as to provide the needed resources. Instead, it just wants to reinforce the usual cheap trick: force women to have babies, and then make them pay. And pay. And pay. As I said, slavery.
If one chooses to have a baby, that is of course a different matter. The baby is a gift, given by life itself. But to be a gift a thing must be freely given and freely received. A gift can also be rejected. A gift that cannot be rejected is not a gift, but a symptom of tyranny.
We say that women “give birth”. And mothers who have chosen to be mothers do give birth, and feel it as a gift. But if they have not chosen, birth is not a gift they give; it is an extortion from them against their wills.
No one is forcing women to have abortions. No one either should force them to undergo childbirth. Enforce childbirth if you wish but at least call that enforcing by what it is. It is slavery: the claim to own and control another’s body, and to profit by that claim.

BTW......2 million damage to the capital is way more than almost no damage.......BWAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Your 2 billion damage for riots has not been confirmed as actual.....sorry sport....your opinions suck!!!!!
The FBI says there's no evidence antifa played any role in the deadly mob that stormed the Capitol on Wednesday.
"We have no indication of that, at this time," said FBI Assistant Director Steven D'Antuono said at a Friday press briefing.
A day earlier, Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney for the District of Columbia, also said investigators had not seen evidence of antifa involvement.
Their comments come after Trump supporters such as Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and conservative media spread false claims that Antifa instigated the violence that left five people dead.
Antifa is a loose collection of "anti-fascist" activists that attend protests and often clash with far-right groups. It has become a bogeyman on the right and is often the subject of false rumors and impersonation campaigns.
Speaking in the House Wednesday night after the attempted coup, Gaetz cited a Washington Times article that claimed a facial recognition company had identified two antifa members among the crowd at the Capitol.
That story was removed by the outlet after BuzzFeed News reported that the facial recognition company said it was “outright false.”
The Washington Times later published a corrected version that acknowledged the firm had identified "neo-Nazis and other extremists" — not antifa members.
Gaetz's office did not respond to a request for comment.

AP Stylebook Goes to Bat for Dems on ‘Pregnant People’ Having Abortions
“Phrasing like *pregnant people* or *people seeking an abortion* seeks to include people who have those experiences but do not identify as women, such as transgender men and some nonbinary people.”

Fair and balance news according to Scott who has been....
It never fails to amaze me how often dictionary publishers alter their definitions of certain words and the Associated Press Stylebook updates their guidance on the use of certain terminology whenever Democrats are on the ropes, have made themselves look foolish, and need an assist.
For instance, in September 2020 after several months of violent looting and rioting in Democrat-run cities by Antifa/BLM-led “protesters,” the AP changed their guidelines to suggest the use of the word “riots” was incorrect when referring to the Black Lives Matter riots, claiming “riots” had “been used in the past to stigmatize broad swaths of people.”
Instead, they recommended terms like “unrest,” “revolt,” and “uprising” to describe “protests” and “demonstrations” that they acknowledged “can be legal or illegal, organized or spontaneous, peaceful or violent, and involve any number of people.”
Conveniently, just a few months earlier as the George Floyd riots and looting sprees were just beginning to take place, a reminder was posted about how it was important to “limit” the use of the word “looting” because it supposedly carried “racial overtones” with it:

Conveniently, just a few months earlier as the George Floyd riots and looting sprees were just beginning to take place, a reminder was posted about how it was important to “limit” the use of the word “looting” because it supposedly carried “racial overtones” with it:
In April 2013 under then-President Obama’s administration and at a time when illegal immigrants were pouring over our southern border like Niagara Falls, the Associated Press banned the use of the term “illegal immigrant” in their reporting:
The Stylebook no longer sanctions the term 「illegal immigrant」 or the use of 「illegal」 to describe a person. Instead, it tells users that 「illegal」 should describe only an action, such as living in or immigrating to a country illegally.
[…]
illegal immigration Entering or residing in a country in violation of civil or criminal law. Except in direct quotes essential to the story, use illegal only to refer to an action, not a person: illegal immigration, but not illegal immigrant. Acceptable variations include living in or entering a country illegally or without legal permission.
Except in direct quotations, do not use the terms illegal alien, an illegal, illegals or undocumented.
And right on cue, just two days after the story that recently broke about the Supreme Court leak regarding the draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito in which he declared that “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” the AP has made some style changes to how they refer to pregnant women:
There was also this from earlier this week:
None of this is coincidental, of course.
At first glance on the “pregnant people” guidelines, some might think “well, this is the right approach to differentiate stories specific to women born women versus stories specific to transgender men and ‘binary people.'” But what happens when these stories intersect, which is often the case? You better believe they’ll use “pregnant people” as the default because they want to appear inclusive and woke, regardless of how in doing so it helps erase women from the public discourse over time.
And as for stories specific to pregnant transgender men, why not just refer to them as “pregnant transgender men” instead of “pregnant people”? Perhaps because even the Associated Press knows how ridiculous that will sound (even more so than “pregnant people”) to the average reader of their news reporting, most of whom know that actual men cannot bear children. That will lead to a number of uncomfortable questions and comments from readers that they don’t want to answer. Case in point:

But you can come and go as you please, right Alky?
My god what a pathetic life here all day, in your semi private 300’ room with the 5th Beatle, awaiting some mush like meat, with canned English peas and carrots and precut nanners, on a paper plate, with plastic utensils on that plastic table cloth. And then you can binge Matlock
But you can come and go as you please, right Alky?
Dayum your life must truly be pathetic since you think your existence is perfect......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! You are a fucking loser salesman with a napoleon complex!!!!! Have another cocktail and go beat your wife.....asshole
I’ve enjoyed my day extensively fatboi, was at the neighborhood farmers market this morning, lunch with my wife and a bit of antique shopping.
While you and Roger have pissed another glorious weekend away. You with your pathetic attempts for attention to troll everyone with nonsensical gibberish banal insults unworthy of an 8 year old, while the Alky screams for the blogmasters attention
It must really suck to be your 70s and incapable of mobility, you because of obesity and Alky because he ain't got the door code
I'm one of the few people here who aren't really old one lady is 94. Most of them have moderate alzheimers and other mental illnesses. It is not a nursing home. Unfortunately I'm here because of my mistakes in the past years.
I am free to come and go anytime, without an escorts. I don’t like it but I keep coming here to mess with Scott.
I'm fully mobile and can go ðķ♂️ and the food is usually quite good. I'm not obese either I'm going to get back in shape soon ðŠ You really would not want to mess with me.
This is the real difference between Donald Trump and the political establishment, whether Republican or Democrat. The esteemed “conservative” Wall Street Journal editorial board has called on Wisconsin authorities to ignore a preliminary investigation report by former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman that found unethical and illegal acts that he says should prompt the state legislature to “take a hard look” at decertifying the 2020 election.
The Journal says Wisconsin should instead be practical and play it politically safe. In its editorial, the Journal urges Republicans to move on and concentrate on defeating incumbent Democrat Gov. Tom Evers rather than “chasing ghosts.”
For his part, Trump says if investigation is halted, perpetrators will be emboldened to cheat again in this year’s elections.
The “conservative” Journal finds itself arguing the Democrat party’s standard talking point: “Move on.” That preference reveals the extent of the swamp that voters chose Trump to drain in 2016. It’s a bipartisan cesspool and even conservative media champions are caught in the bog.
It’s also nothing new. Republicans have traditionally conformed to the “move on” mentality after every election. After his 1960 loss, Richard Nixon declined to pursue JFK’s obvious election chicanery.
Just wanted finally show you something you have to get help. You believe in the deep state conspiracy theories.
Or, as Trump puts it with his characteristic plain talk: “Voters know that unless we fix what happened in 2020, those who stole the 2020 election will try to do it again in 2022.”
It's politically dicey to pursue what mainstream media has characterized from Day 1 as a “conspiracy theory.” The CIA popularized the related phrase "conspiracy theorist" half a century ago as a pejorative expressly to discourage talk and publication that conflicted with the government’s position that Lee Harvey Oswald alone was responsible for President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
It worked.
For decades only the most courageous -- joined with the habitually distrustful -- dared to buck the official government talking points. But Americans aren’t stupid. In ensuing decades polls showed that upwards of 80% of Americans considered the government case to be a lie and believed a conspiracy killed JFK. But by then, the powers that be had moved on. Chalk it up as another victory for the swamp.
Living with accepting the lie when they knew better created arguably the first major crisis of confidence in government for this nation. Few have trusted government to be forthcoming ever since. Few in government have bothered to be truthful ever since. The MO that works politically to put unpleasant realities behind us is to move on.
Wisconsin faces a pivotal decision as to whether to give investigators more time and encouragement to get to the bottom of what Gableman so far has found to be a swamp-sized nest of illegalities. If he’s ignored, expect more of the same in this election and the next.

I’m writing from Atlanta, where I’m spending this week reporting on the Republican primary for secretary of state.
This race is perhaps the most important primary happening in America this year. Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s incumbent secretary of state, is in a really tough re-election battle after memorably standing up to Donald Trump in 2020 and refusing his request to “find 11,780 votes” to overturn the election 2020 results. The former president is backing Jody Hice, a conservative congressman who has embraced the myth the election was stolen in a bid to oust Raffensperger.
It’s the first major test we’re seeing this year of whether a Republican who defends democracy can withstand the wrath of his own party. It’s also a major test for democracy both in Georgia and the US – one of several closely watched races this year in which candidates who have expressed willingness to overturn an election are seeking to be the chief election officials in their state.
I spent Monday morning in a conference room at the headquarters of Georgia Public Broadcasting, watching a live stream of Raffensperger, Hice and two other candidates – David Belle Isle and TJ Hudson – debate downstairs (reporters were not allowed in the room). Nearly the entire hour was about the 2020 election, with the other three candidates repeating baseless and debunked claims of fraud. The first question Hice was asked was why voters should trust his judgment if he continues to believe the election was stolen. He dodged.

But you can come and go as you please, right Alky?
My god what a pathetic life here all day, in your semi private 300’ room with the 5th Beatle, awaiting some mush like meat, with canned English peas and carrots and precut nanners, on a paper plate, with plastic utensils on that plastic table cloth. And then you can binge Matlock
No one visited again this weekend I can see….
But you can come and go as you please, right Alky?
Dayum your life must truly be pathetic since you think your existence is perfect......BWAAAAAAAAA!!!! You are a fucking loser salesman with a napoleon complex!!!!! Have another cocktail and go beat your wife.....asshole

See ya assholes.....hope your mothers are proud of you slurpers......BWAAAAAAAAAA!!!! Traveling south tomorrow
I’ve enjoyed my day extensively fatboi, was at the neighborhood farmers market this morning, lunch with my wife and a bit of antique shopping.
While you and Roger have pissed another glorious weekend away. You with your pathetic attempts for attention to troll everyone with nonsensical gibberish banal insults unworthy of an 8 year old, while the Alky screams for the blogmasters attention
It must really suck to be your 70s and incapable of mobility, you because of obesity and Alky because he ain't got the door code
I'm one of the few people here who aren't really old one lady is 94. Most of them have moderate alzheimers and other mental illnesses. It is not a nursing home. Unfortunately I'm here because of my mistakes in the past years.
I am free to come and go anytime, without an escorts. I don’t like it but I keep coming here to mess with Scott.
Because I read very rapidly I read both sides.
Leginssurection is nuts
I'm fully mobile and can go ðķ♂️ and the food is usually quite good. I'm not obese either I'm going to get back in shape soon ðŠ
You really would not want to mess with me.
Loony tools
What 'Moving On' Has Cost Us
By Mark Landsbaum
This is the real difference between Donald Trump and the political establishment, whether Republican or Democrat. The esteemed “conservative” Wall Street Journal editorial board has called on Wisconsin authorities to ignore a preliminary investigation report by former Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Michael Gableman that found unethical and illegal acts that he says should prompt the state legislature to “take a hard look” at decertifying the 2020 election.
The Journal says Wisconsin should instead be practical and play it politically safe. In its editorial, the Journal urges Republicans to move on and concentrate on defeating incumbent Democrat Gov. Tom Evers rather than “chasing ghosts.”
For his part, Trump says if investigation is halted, perpetrators will be emboldened to cheat again in this year’s elections.
The “conservative” Journal finds itself arguing the Democrat party’s standard talking point: “Move on.” That preference reveals the extent of the swamp that voters chose Trump to drain in 2016. It’s a bipartisan cesspool and even conservative media champions are caught in the bog.
It’s also nothing new. Republicans have traditionally conformed to the “move on” mentality after every election. After his 1960 loss, Richard Nixon declined to pursue JFK’s obvious election chicanery.
Just wanted finally show you something you have to get help. You believe in the deep state conspiracy theories.
Or, as Trump puts it with his characteristic plain talk: “Voters know that unless we fix what happened in 2020, those who stole the 2020 election will try to do it again in 2022.”
It's politically dicey to pursue what mainstream media has characterized from Day 1 as a “conspiracy theory.” The CIA popularized the related phrase "conspiracy theorist" half a century ago as a pejorative expressly to discourage talk and publication that conflicted with the government’s position that Lee Harvey Oswald alone was responsible for President John F. Kennedy’s assassination.
It worked.
For decades only the most courageous -- joined with the habitually distrustful -- dared to buck the official government talking points. But Americans aren’t stupid. In ensuing decades polls showed that upwards of 80% of Americans considered the government case to be a lie and believed a conspiracy killed JFK. But by then, the powers that be had moved on. Chalk it up as another victory for the swamp.
Living with accepting the lie when they knew better created arguably the first major crisis of confidence in government for this nation. Few have trusted government to be forthcoming ever since. Few in government have bothered to be truthful ever since. The MO that works politically to put unpleasant realities behind us is to move on.
Wisconsin faces a pivotal decision as to whether to give investigators more time and encouragement to get to the bottom of what Gableman so far has found to be a swamp-sized nest of illegalities. If he’s ignored, expect more of the same in this election and the next.

Roger, be honest, why didn't you get married today?
I’m writing from Atlanta, where I’m spending this week reporting on the Republican primary for secretary of state.
This race is perhaps the most important primary happening in America this year. Brad Raffensperger, Georgia’s incumbent secretary of state, is in a really tough re-election battle after memorably standing up to Donald Trump in 2020 and refusing his request to “find 11,780 votes” to overturn the election 2020 results. The former president is backing Jody Hice, a conservative congressman who has embraced the myth the election was stolen in a bid to oust Raffensperger.
It’s the first major test we’re seeing this year of whether a Republican who defends democracy can withstand the wrath of his own party. It’s also a major test for democracy both in Georgia and the US – one of several closely watched races this year in which candidates who have expressed willingness to overturn an election are seeking to be the chief election officials in their state.
I spent Monday morning in a conference room at the headquarters of Georgia Public Broadcasting, watching a live stream of Raffensperger, Hice and two other candidates – David Belle Isle and TJ Hudson – debate downstairs (reporters were not allowed in the room). Nearly the entire hour was about the 2020 election, with the other three candidates repeating baseless and debunked claims of fraud. The first question Hice was asked was why voters should trust his judgment if he continues to believe the election was stolen. He dodged.
Did she every really exist?
Or, was she just another of your feble old man delusions?
Imo Chief Justice Roberts will get one of Trump’s nominees to vote with the three liberals to leave Roe v Wade intact. Kavanaugh is my first choice..
