I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

How do you do, fellow state senators, GOP attorneys, and balding, 31-year-old Hitler enthusiasts?

"In unison." Amen. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

So much for Facebook's renewed commitment to free speech. And so much for this administration's condemnation of social media censorship. How long will it be before the DOJ demands platforms remove news reporting on ICE?

Last weekend, Trump flew to the Middle East to celebrate a ceasefire his administration helped broker between Hamas and Israel, after over two years of war. Still, despite celebrations and the release of surviving hostages, much remains unknown about what will happen next.

Any one of us could be in the next apartment building that ICE raids in the middle of the night. Any one of us could be on the next boat that Trump bombs on a whim. Any one of us could be detained for hours despite being a U.S. citizen. Authoritarianism hurts all of us.

This morning, the justices will hear oral arguments in a case that could represent a fatal blow to the load-bearing pillar of American multi-racial democracy: The 1965 Voting Rights Act.

The case before the Supreme Court is called Louisiana v. Callais, a redistricting dispute that has become a major test of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 (VRA), the landmark civil rights law designed to protect Black Americans and other minorities from being shut out of political representation.

“Dozens of prominent artists and cultural organizations will participate in a series of artistic demonstrations to protest what authoritarian overreach by the Trump administration. The protests, known as Fall of Freedom, will take place on the weekend of Nov. 21...” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/a...

Court overseeing the Comey case rejects government application for a broad protective order: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us... Loss #1

JD Vance claims Trump is deploying the National Guard because crime in Chicago and Portland has gotten "out of control." But crime rates were already falling in both cities. This is all a power grab — and a pretext for something much worse. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8vrfgHqs

🚨💥 PAY ATTENTION!! 💥🚨 Trump is dismantling the federal agency that protects elections ahead of 2026. I’m old enough to remember when Chris Krebs, the former CISA Director, was fired by tweet for stating a fact—the 2020 Election was safe and secure. CISA’s Acting Director is DHS Kristi Noem’s guy.

The 176 layoffs are a more recent development, and it's still unclear exactly which offices and positions they targeted. But officials told me the layoffs spared the Cybersecurity Division and focused on two other divisions and a particularly vulnerable part of a third.

How did we get here? ffs

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you. Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide. So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Everything is for sale.

Nearly every media outlet is announcing they will refuse to sign the Pentagon’s new rule stating they cannot report information if it’s not government “authorized.” Even Newsmax is refusing to sign.

Trigger Warning: Footage from war torn Portland!!! you might smile.... be careful

Union for US Capitol Police: "My officers are on duty today protecting the Capitol complex.. Friday, they missed their first FULL paycheck.The longer the shutdown drags on, the harder it becomes for my officers. Banks & landlords do not give my officers a pass because we are in shutdown.."

Ugly laws: The blueprint for Trump’s anti-homeless crusade

"If Antifa really were a domestic terrorist organization and it really was behind the No Kings event, then the government would not allow the events to take place." The fact that it is allowing them tells you the Antifa stuff is BS. www.thebulwark.com/p/are-you-an...

"I wouldn't say it makes me change and reflect on my service. I still love this country and I 100 percent love the Army....I know that what's happening right now doesn't define America." Veteran and American citizen George Retes, wrongly detained by ICE, joins @timmiller.bsky.social:

“If Americans had a more clear-eyed view of Putin, they would see a dictator who’s bet everything on a failed invasion, a country losing its sphere of influence, and an economy…cooling. A realistic view of his power would strip Putin of his biggest leverage: the perception of his invincibility.”

Trump retribution takes center stage as Tish James speaks out, James Comey faces key court deadlines, and Adam Schiff becomes Trump’s latest target. Former CIA Director John Brennan joins The Weeknight to break down the national security stakes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=sW8_...

Comey’s pre-trial motions are going to start coming in hot and heavy next week.

Trump’s shutdown drags on as House Republicans remain missing in action and Democrats turn up the heat. Rep. @jayapal.house.gov joins us to break down the mounting demands for accountability. www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0dh...

Great to see news outlets almost uniformly reject Hegseth’s ridiculous Pentagon prior restraint policy. Hopefully they’ll show the same unity next time the administration targets one of them as they’re showing now that it’s targeting all of them.

Per new court filing: "On Oct 20... James Comey, by counsel, will file his motion to dismiss challenging the lawfulness of the appointment of the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia"

EXCLUSIVE: Our friends at @lighthousereports.com obtained a secret data trove. It revealed a vast global surveillance empire whose tech has been used to target politicians, journalists, tech execs, and Jared Leto. The story only gets wilder from there.

“It’s too late for preventative antifascism. I think we’re in a new era.” After death threats for his work on antifascism, a Rutgers University professor fled the United States. The latest from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social:

As the government shutdown stretches into its second week, experts warn that women and children reliant on federal food assistance funding are vulnerable to losing their grocery benefits. In the midst of it all, the USDA has stripped away the infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in the US.

“Putin’s biggest win comes from convincing the world that he’s winning, even when he isn’t.”

"Trump is a field day for Palantir, OpenAI, xAI, Anduril & others. He may think he's the ultimate peacemaker. But his actions are stoking China’s self-belief and elevating America’s military-AI complex. It would be rash to assume he knows what he is doing." My column. www.ft.com/content/7343...

He is far from alone. Do you know how many people I know, journalists, thinktankers, civil servants, politicians, who always excel at explaining to you why what is currently happening was always bound to happen, from which they conclude that it should happen?

When Germany is telling us we're off the rails, pay attention.

Chris Christie: “Thie is no longer, the Department of Justice, is no longer the premier prosecuting office in America. What it is now is a capo regime who goes out and executes hits when directed by the Don to do so. That’s what it is.”

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces. This is truly terrifying.

Obama: "When you see an administration suggest that ordinary street crime is an insurrection or a terrorist act, that is a genuine effort to weaken how we have understood democracy."
