@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov This seems like a terrible deal to me, & that’s even IF the GOP keeps its word.

Decent indeed.

Sandwich man leaving court

Ellis: "It is difficult to see how an injunction ordering the government to comply with the Constitution can be harmful."

The Trump administration treated anti-ICE protestors worse because of the content of their speech, in violation of the First Amendment, Ellis says. In fact, the president and Secretary Noem have said exactly that, Ellis says.

Ellis rules that the Trump administration impermissibly prevented the free exercise of religion, in violation of the First Amendment. Those engaged in prayer have been shot, without warning, with pepper balls and tear gas, Ellis says.

Trump: "Hear me, President Trump, when I say this: to get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

Once more, for old times’ sake

Basically I think we all need to stop and marvel at how well the ACA was put together that after 15 years of unrelenting hostility it still stands, the parts they can effect don't undo the whole (despite worries about the mandate penalty), and touching anything else is suicide.

“I’m a law-abiding citizen who never thought I’d be of such interest that the U.S. government would use my tax dollars & yours to try to send me to prison…[after being] manhandled by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent trying to remove my phone from my hand.” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

And…

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here. And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy—they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess...”

When I worked in WaPo Opinions in 2017-2018, senior editors specifically told junior editors not to factcheck Marc Thiessen and other MAGA columnists, otherwise they wouldn’t be able to publish anything by them at all, and “we need them for intellectual diversity.”

Defend and protect the motherfucking AFSCME video. Save it to a USB drive. Write it to a tape backup. Print out every frame on glass and record the audio to vinyl.

Nothing to see here but a cop trying to run down and murder someone with his police SUV because his feelings were hurt. As @gregdoucette.bsky.social would say, cops are great.

God I hope this is real

I fear that Mamdani would treat all women like an aunt, while Cuomo would merely grab their breasts and let their mothers die in a nursing home.

This was a really cool way to highlight the images of the moon taken by the Apollo astronauts. www.nytimes.com/interactive/... And I learned a few unexpected facts: "During their camera training, it became evident that Armstrong had a better eye than Buzz Aldrin." #planetsci

Pinch hit grand slam—at least it gets the Dodger pitcher out of a jam.

This makes RFK Jr. look even worse. mRNA vaccines have been one of the biggest scientific advances in recent memory, saving millions of people, and now we learn they can prolong the lives of cancer patients. And Kennedy is trying to kill them. The dude is a dangerous freakshow. Why is he even here?

Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

Water won’t keep asbestos & lead out of the landfill. In some states you have to show you removed hazardous materials before the landfill can accept it.

Lots of states have rules about disposal of hazards in construction waste. I wonder if the Roberts Court will exempt Trump from them.

But people who had seizures over the removal of Confederate statures are totally cool with this.

Good God.

I like Presidents who don't bulldoze the White House

Wow. Harvard nuking its PhD programs - Science PhD admissions reduced by more than 75% - Arts & Humanities reduced by about 60% - Social Sciences by 50–70% - History by 60% - Biology by 75% - The German department will lose all PhD seats - Sociology from six PhD students to zero

Oh man, the New York Young Republicans implicated in the Nazi groupchat scandal ran up a $23,000 tab eating filet mignon and drinking at a hotel in Syracuse -- a city with one of the highest child poverty rates *in the nation* -- and then refused to pay the bill.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

The sign I ordered from George Soros arrived just in time. I’m all ready for tomorrow!

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Can the prosecution appeal an acquittal? IANAL but I don’t think so.

ICE has decided it has general police authority now? Whole place needs to be shuttered.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Turns out your assumptions about what republican group chats are like is correct www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

ICE acts just like you’d expect them to—delay an ambulance trying to take a guy to the hospital & threaten to shoot the driver.

You know what would be funny? Inflatable ICE costumes.

found exactly the one use of “evil recoils in the presence of Christ” I am willing to sign off on, HOOOOOOOOLY SHIT Father Larry did not come here to fuck around

every single dem should be taking notes. this is how you message around trans issues (of note: i believe he is the only cis candidate for office to have trans people consult on his lgtbq+ policy platform)
