As President Trump pressures the Justice Department to bring criminal cases against his perceived enemies, legal experts say former FBI Director James Comey could attempt a rarely successful legal maneuver that allows judges to throw out charges that were unfairly brought. https://cnn.it/4gP0JAj

Good morning, all. I wonder what nonsense awaits us today.

Now to be clear there is no connection as of now to the killers past support of Trump and the shooting. We simply don't yet why he did this. But this is posted to counter any BS from Trump that the guy was a "leftist." He was not.

Police are trained to de-escalate conflict. Sending a show of federal force into places like Chicago is having the opposite effect. Seems like the real goal is political: bait Democrats to criticize and then portray them as soft on crime.  www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Communities that end fluoridation will see more decaying teeth, according to Margherita Fontana of the University of Michigan School of Dentistry. Children, older adults, people with disabilities and people who are poor are especially at risk.

Look at this video. Take a long, hard look at this scene. Masked federal agents, armed like soldiers on a battlefield, a dozen of em, taking down & detaining one immigrant. On our streets. Take a long, hard look at this. And then pass it on to others. This is Trumpism. This must not be who we are.👇

He’s sending masked troops to Chicago & threatening to send troops to Portland. This is the move of a fascist, a dictator. This should never happen in America. He must be taken to court ASAP. The American people must make it clear this should never happen in America. www.mediaite.com/media/news/a...

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

We need a Blue Wave so big no amount of gerrymandering can stop it.

Musk, Bannon and Thiel named in new Epstein estate documents. These new files are notable in that they suggest all three powerful men had a relationship with Epstein after his controversial plea deal that forced him to register as a sex offender.- POLITICO

Yup, he's evil.

We're in a health care emergency: 15 MILLION people are going to lose their health care. Millions are about to see their premiums skyrocket. Republicans are in power. They need to roll back their massive health care cuts and fund the government.

REMINDER: It's now 251 days since Trump was sworn in but he has still NOT released the complete Jeffrey Epstein file. What is in the file Trump does NOT want us to see?!

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

The American Alliance of Museums is among those concerned that the threat of interference stretches far beyond Washington, DC. https://cnn.it/4nV0plL

This is chilling for a number of reasons. First, the familiar disregard for the people who actually do the work of the Fed govt. But also: who did that offended officer call at the WH? Who made the decision to fire her and executed it so quickly?

Finally (for now): a story showing that the firing of US attorneys for not following orders did not begin with the Comey case. In July, a USA in CA told a Border Patrol officer to adhere to a court order. She was fired *that day. * www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

I will be happy to watch both!!

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.” I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt. And that’s wrong.

All the cities Trump is sending troops to except for one are run by Democrats. Is that enough retribution for you?

What the fuck is going on? open.substack.com/pub/logicall...

As Trump declares war on our cities and our citizens, remember that the unnecessary pain and chaos are on the heads of every craven Republican using his dementia to further their fascist ideology, protect their power, and placate their billionaire donors.

This reporter helped expose the falsity of ICE's narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas Gonzalez. His work is a perfect example of why we don't have secret police. Journalists have a constitutional right to cover protests and their aftermath. Release @peoplesfabric.com immediately.

Unfortunately, Donald Trump lying about Portland being a war zone isn't insanity. It is a carefully calculated lie invented by Stephen Miller, cynically intended to provide a pretext for seizing authoritarian power. It isn't random madness, it's calculated fascism.

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.
