Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act. I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

👀 Marjorie Taylor Greene breaks with Republicans on Obamacare funding, saying she’s not a fan of the law but demands action to prevent a premium hike. “I’m absolutely disgusted that health insurance premiums will DOUBLE if the tax credits expire this year.” She says GOP leaders don’t have a plan.

Just FYI. Oregon's Senator Ron Wyden wants everyone to see what was going on in Portland, Oregon today. bsky.app/profile/wyde...

Stephen Miller’s attacks on a judge that President Trump himself appointed, and the American people as a whole, must stop. As I told Alex Witt today, it’s time to demand that the president explain why he is allowing Miller to drive strategies that ignore the Constitution and are unAmerican.

Trump’s #MassDeportation agenda just killed good-paying jobs for Tennessee. This is a company Gov. Bill Lee recruited! Are we great now, GUV? tennesseelookout.com/2025/10/02/e...

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Trump told NBC on Sunday that he saw some Portland riot footage on Fox and thought it reflected current events. It didn't. It was 5 years old, from the George Floyd aftermath. And we learned that due to the diligence of a local TV reporter, who got the transcript. www.cjr.org/laurels-and-...

No words.

Theresa Claiborne "retired badass Black woman pilot 👩🏾‍✈️✈️💙" 7 years USAF active duty 13 years USAF Reserves duty 34 years as a united pilot (767 and 787) President of Sisters of the Skies And most recently, recipient of the Brigadier General Charles E. McGee Aviation Inspiration Award

Chicago, Illinois, 2025: "They had the Black people in one van, and the immigrants in another van." "They was bringing the kids down, had them zip-tied to each other." "I kept asking, 'What is the morality?' One of them laughed. He said, 'Fuck them kids.'" abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

We sued because ICE arrested Leo twice for being brown on a construction site and refused to believe his REAL ID was real. DHS responded today by calling our case "garbage," "race-baiting" that will "directly contribute" to more assaults of ICE officers. bit.ly/3KvED9R

Perfect illustration of the Article I Crisis.

It should be at least 80%. But the media likes to blame democrats.

New bench slap just dropped. They are coming at a truly astonishing rate. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."

Mikie Sherrill: "There's no mistake that was made here. This was intentional ... there's really no doubt in my mind that this was fully intentional from the Trump administration to the Ciattarelli campaign to attempt to do this."

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

He was body-slammed by immigration agents. Now a car wash owner has filed a $50-million claim against DHS

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Trump demands that Microsoft fire Lisa Monaco. Anybody from the party of small government have an issue with this or nah?

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

We often hear from people who are concerned, as we all should be, about protecting our basic rights — like free speech. Last night, Jimmy Kimmel addressed what’s at stake & confirmed what we’ve long known: there is power in the American people speaking up. We must continue to do that in this moment.

Pritzker: "One of the reasons Trump wants to send troops into cities is bc he wants to be able to take control of the 2026 elections...if they've got troops in cities, & it becomes a kind of norm for people, then it won't be abnormal for them when they're going to vote having troops at ballot boxes"

She makes everything more annoying in ways you don’t necessarily expect. It’s a gift. Like how she spells tick tock wrong

This is the way. Re-pledged to PBS, as well.

Mike Johnson said this kind of rhetoric is highly inflammatory and incites people.

The Late Late Show: #RTE #jimmykimmel

JON KARL: What do you make of Pam Bondi saying she's gonna go after hate speech? A lot of your allies say hate speech is free speech TRUMP: We'll probably go after people like you because you treat me so unfairly. You have a lot of hate in your hate. Maybe they'll have to go after you.

wait, but I thought crime was totally out of control in cities?

Republican senators: “Putin is playing Trump like a piano.”

If you have 30 minutes, I recommend watching this video. I explain what Trump has in store for 2026 and how we can fight back. If you find it helpful, please share it with others. youtu.be/7PXQfDHr9Aw

Murder. He’s calling for the murder of people, a significant percentage of whom are veterans who served in our country’s military.

Why does he still have a job? He is calling for mass murder? Where is the outrage?

This! 👇

Charlie Kirk’s murder “is a tragedy for his family and a disaster for the country,” George Packer writes. “In an atmosphere of national paranoia and hatred, each act of political violence makes the next one more likely.”

This week's news: * many male elites approve of & participate in raping girls * POTUS is a pedophile serial rapist voters chose TWICE over more qualified women * he wants to decriminalize domestic violence bc it's so common it's driving up crime stats Male pundits: "Misogyny is a side issue."

I will post this everyday to remind us. She was always right.

My God. Chills.

How big is the slow down in US clean energy manufacturing investments? Huge. 🔌💡 We are now tracking 39 projects, $41.8B in investment and 42,429 jobs that have slowed since Trump took office. That compares to 70 projects, totaling $31.9B, and 36,554 jobs that have advanced during the same time.
