Breaking News: The Trump administration is said to have plans to slash refugee admissions to a record low, with many slots reserved for white South Africans.

Meiselas: I think this is a serious oversight issue. $17 trillion is apparently missing right now, and we’re in a government shutdown. Trump keeps saying he’s got $17 trillion. Where did it go? Garcia: If there is $17 trillion somewhere, the government doesn’t know about it.

Pam Bondi's DOJ now running interference for far right influencers arrested by local cops in Portland. Opens investigation into arrest of Nick Sortor www.kgw.com/article/news...

Donald Trump fired a respected prosecutor and installed a White House aide to overrule career prosecutors and bring charges against his opponents. This isn't justice — it’s undermining the rule of law.

"A grave betrayal of America’s principles of due process and press freedom." PEN America expresses outrage at the deportation of journalist Mario Guevara to El Salvador, a country he fled 20 years ago because of threats tied to his reporting. pen.org/press-releas...

Russ Vought is Trump’s shutdown hero. His neighbors think his work is "abhorrent." “He takes food and health care from the neediest and tries to, in his words, traumatize people—then he calls himself a Christian,” a neighbor told @isabelaalhadeff. “Pretty despicable.”

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

These people want any excuse available to abuse women.

MAGA star Jack Posobiec says voter fraud is a serious issue—yet he has voted for years in Pennsylvania, despite clearly living in Maryland. slate.com/news-and-pol...

When you recall that political reporters ran interference for Trump over his "opposition" to Project 2025, remember that even AT THAT TIME there was a hidden camera interview with Vought where he said that was bullshit and he didn't mean it. www.mediamatters.org/russ-vought/...

Portland, Oregon, is in President Donald Trump's sights—just the latest Democratic city facing increased militarization. But video shows that this "war-ravaged" Portland Trump is talking about...is all just in his head. WATCH:

BREAKING: ICE launches operation targeting unaccompanied immigrant children as young as 14—with reports the age could drop to 10. Children will be pressured to give up their rights, accept $2,500 to self-deport or face threats of parental arrest. ICE also plans to detain all youth who “age out.

1. This is one of the most insane statements ever delivered by a presidential spokesperson in U.S. history. Totally disconnected from reality. 2. There is either going to be a civil war or abject Democratic surrender to autocracy. They are telling this you, to your face, in explicit terms.

80% (!) of the ACA subsidies that are about to expire go to people in states that Trump won in 2024. Time and time again, Trump and MAGA Republicans will sell out their own voters — all to fund massive tax cuts for the super rich.

We're not at war with Venezuela, these boats are many hundreds of lines from our waters, much less our shores, there is no threat, this is just murder. I really do think everyone from the SecDef to the guy who pushed the button should be tried for murder on this.

MUST READ: We Need to Talk About Soft Secession Is it legal? Is it possible? Can we afford to wait and find out? The fed. gov’t isn’t functioning. Republicans obstruct, defund & dismantle; federal agents can now racially profile, assault and abduct citizens. SCOTUS has allowed them to ignore laws.

BREAKING: CBS News to name Bari Weiss, a frequent critic of mainstream media, as its top editor www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Hey America, job growth is stalling, groceries are way more expensive, small businesses are hurting bcuz of the uncertainty, he’s putting the military on our streets, and he has a secret police force ignoring the Constitution & terrorizing entire communities. MAGA, MAGA, huh?

Like clockwork, we are back to the Republican framing that government assistance is okay if its farmer bailouts and tax cuts for the wealthy & big corporations but hell no for people who need help with healthcare, food or housing.

You can’t lead the people if you don’t love the people. Donald Trump has confessed his contempt and hatred for Americans. And his suggestion that our military be turned against those people he hates, and views as his enemy, is something we all should speak out against.

On his birthday, remembering the wisdom of Gandhi.

Republican lies cannot obscure the truth: congressional Republicans continue to cause a health care catastrophe for Americans. Their position is unpopular and will hurt millions. Their position is cruel and their lies are craven.

Know your rights, Illinois. Stay safe and stay informed.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

ICE’s brutality is no longer confined to the shadows. Don’t miss this episode of Protect & Serve with @mayaonstage.bsky.social and @michaelfanone.bsky.social with guests @glennkirschner.bsky.social and @frankfigliuzzi.bsky.social. www.lincolnsquare.media/p/the-alarmi...

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance. Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn. We have been sent here to fight for people.

Apple pulls ICE tracking apps after pressure from the White House

Joni Ernst: "Unfortunately, our farmers do need that assistance. They don't like it. They consider it welfare. They want trade, not aid. So we really need to see some of these new markets opening up around the globe ... but if there's anybody that can make a deal, it's President Trump."

Sorry to see schools placed in this situation but very glad Newsom is doing this. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

In just nine months, Trump’s DOJ has completely reversed the department’s long-standing role of protecting and defending voting rights, and is now actively working to undermine them. We’re closely tracking their actions. Stay updated below ⤵️

A group of nine universities are at the center of a political collision as they prepare responses by Oct. 20 to the Trump administration’s sweeping proposal to reform campus operations in exchange for preferential access to federal funds.

APPLE REMOVES ICE TRACKING APP AFTER TRUMP AG PRESSURE “There was nothing inherently illegal or unsafe about ICEBlock. It functioned no differently than a crowdsourced app for finding potholes or speed traps.” appleinsider.com/articles/25/...

Our government has given these men license to do this. Supplied them with weapons and uniforms even. Given them ample resources to live out their hate filled fantasies while saying we have no resources for healthcare. It’s truly unforgivable.

ICE lied about the person it shot, claiming he was a "criminal," but NBC finds that he had no criminal history whatsoever. Not even traffic tickets in 12 years! It also lied about the extent of the injuries to its agents....
