NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

With nearly 600 National Weather Service employees gone this year, as many as left in the previous five years combined, some forecast offices can’t operate overnight, raising urgent questions about public safety as Trump adds political loyalty tests to new hires.

Mike Johnson: "The WIC program, the nutrition program -- women, infants, and children -- that program won't be funded. FEMA won't be funded."

Most of the Latiné people you know are walking around knowing this could happen to them at any moment. Citizen or not.

Around 80% of the psychiatric hospitals in the U.S. that have violated the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act in the past 15 years are owned by for-profit corporations. Only a few have faced any repercussions from regulators. By @emcahan.bsky.social

Funny thing is the question “of what country are you a citizen” violates your 5th Amendment right against self-incrimination. It also completely backs up immigration checkpoints when lots of white citizens refuse to answer this question. youtu.be/lMN5DQFz0Pg?...

National Weather Service at ‘breaking point’ as storm approaches... Staffing cuts under the Trump administration mean forecasters are struggling to maintain normal operations just as wildfires ramp up in the West and the Atlantic hurricane season peaks. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Looks like ICE basically carried out their own gang retaliation.

Dozens of Democratic lawmakers announced they are investigating the Trump administration’s practice of disappearing immigrants to countries where they are not citizens, have no connections, and are at risk of being tortured.

Where did they get removed to?! JFC.

Nearly 63M Latinos call the U.S. home, fueling culture, science, medicine, and the economy. And as @tusk81.bsky.social writes, "the numbers don’t lie." In 2023 alone, Latino GDP hit a record $4.1T, making the community one of the strongest engines of growth in the world. #HispanicHeritageMonth

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

More kids are severely ill or dying from the flu, CDC reports As fewer children get their flu shots, cases of a rare, severe complication are rising. Last season, the U.S. experienced the highest number of pediatric flu deaths in 15 years. www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

EINHORN: ".. The numbers that are being thrown around are so extreme that it’s really, really hard to understand them. .. ".. there’s a reasonable chance that a tremendous amount of capital destruction is going to come through this cycle.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

NEW: Kristi Noem has been widely criticized for slowing down FEMA's response to natural disasters. But she fast-tracked $11 million+ to fix a Florida tourist attraction — after one of her big donors reached out. www.propublica.org/article/kris...

The government shutdown began January 20. Billions in taxpayer dollars have become virtually untraceable. In many cases, there’s no publicly available evidence that appropriated money is being spent at all.

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)

🧊🧵✈️ THU 25 SEP 2025 – PART 2 ⚠️ HEADS UP MASSACHUSETTS‼️ 👉 ICE Air inbound to Hanscom Eastern 737 – Tail: N668CP ETA – 4pm EDT 👀

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

✊Today, hundreds of New Yorkers shut down the streets surrounding 26 Federal Plaza to make it clear that they will not stay silent as ICE commits violent & unlawful actions against our immigrant communities. Join us today at 6PM at Foley Square to demand #ICEOutofNY!

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Yes

It was a joy to kick off CBC week at the State of the People DC Community Day. This is about mutual aid, and sharing resources that uplift health, justice, and economic opportunity. In this moment of chaos, we must always choose community.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” ripped $1 TRILLION out of healthcare, then they brag about tossing a few billion back into “rural healthcare.” That isn’t a win. It’s a massive net loss and a hoodwink. 📌 Three Virginia healthcare clinics are shutting down because of it. And it’s just the beginning.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — UN chief warns world leaders that humanity has entered 'an age of reckless disruption and relentless human suffering.'

Make America Starving Again. awful.

All five were documented. ICE only cared about their race when they grabbed them.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you care about corporate media capitulation & Jimmy Kimmel getting canceled, you should definitely care about the Trump administration trying to deport journalist Mario Guevara.

Mahmoud Khalil’s abduction & ongoing targeting by Trump is egregious. Trump is weaponizing our courts to persecute students exercising their First Amendment rights—just as a dictator would do. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

Watch this video. Mimi is a constituent of mine. She testified at a shadow hearing today about caring for four U.S. citizen children who were detained and torn from their parents.

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Just another day of the regime's secret police force arresting elected officials

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Looks like ABC was more afraid of what Kimmel was ABOUT to say that night than they were with what he’d already said.

Women are only 5% of skilled trades. Sexual harassment, stereotyping, ostracization & surveillance keep women from entering & staying. Sexual harassment is more likely when men see women as outsiders, women have less seniority & jobs are physically demanding. theconversation.com/4-decades-af...

I gave my heart and soul to that place. Built entire sections for journalists pushed out of their home countries. When the writer I hired, Jamal Khashoggi was murdered by Saudi Arabia, they paraded me around as a symbol for press freedom. I put MY LIFE on the line to defend journalism and WaPo.

You gotta love @crockett.house.gov

DC residents: Get your annual Covid vaccine while you still can! Get your flu shot while you’re at it.

Good morning. Immigrants are #HereToStay.

Warren: "I'm reminded that Powell said last month the Fed would have cut interest rates back in February except for the concern about the chaos that Donald Trump was causing to the economy because of tariffs. That means for 7 months now families have been paying more on credit cars and car loans."

You are absolutely one of our Sheros all year long! ¡Dalé chingona poderosa!

I think about the New Deal a lot, esp. the compromises that moved it forward. The exclusion of Black, Indigenous, and Latiné people was the “acceptable tradeoff” for “progress”. I think what I’ve seen in the last week is the deep hurt a lot of us carry that the same compromises would be made again.

BREAKING: A court ruled that ICE can no longer detain immigrants in abusive conditions at 26 Federal Plaza while our case continues. This ruling requires ICE to provide people detained at the facility access to hygiene products, sleeping mats, and free, confidential calls to their lawyers.
