After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

Imagine if this wasn’t Cuomo (whose current campaign is incompetent) or if this wasn’t such a highly scrutinized race, and it was a slightly more subtle and realistic video. That’s our political future. And it’s terrifying (especially given where we are presently).

And right on time: bsky.app/profile/prem...

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

The IG page @littlevillagelocal posted a few videos and a photo of what happened in the nhood today. Their caption was so moving! It spoke to ICE attempting to enter doors throughout the nhood but people and businesses resisting and locking their doors. La Villita Se Defiende.

This is legit no different than if he had the Lincoln statue removed from the Lincoln Memorial and replaced with one of himself.

Donald Trump loves our traditions so much he literally sent in construction equipment to tear down a historic wing of the white house without any sort of oversight or review, so he can build a butt-ugly ballroom adorned with his usual tacky bullshit.

republicans have weaponized patriotism and the flag and loving america etc. for so long, they assume it's their birthright. call me a crazy optimist but I think that stuff can only carry you so far when you're shitting on Americans, sending in troops, and LITERALLY DESTROYING THE WHITE HOUSE.

Honestly this is what I see coming. Some kind of pay to play or ability to “rent” the ballroom for your special events, etc. It will be dumber and grosser than you ever imagined. Bookmark this skeet

Maybe this is obvious to everyone but…why does the White House need a ballroom? It has enough space for state dinners, no? Is this for dances? Weddings? Storing classified documents? Just confused so the reason would be helpful thx

the IOC banned Russia from the olympics for a lot less than 'genocide'

IOC wants no sports events in Indonesia after Israeli athletes’ visa ban

well that just about said it all

Just a quick PSA that you have no reasonable expectation of privacy in your public movements. This is why law enforcement can follow YOU or photograph YOU in public without reasonable suspicion or probable cause. Law enforcement doesn’t get “extra” protection in that regard. Goose/gander etc.

Johnson sure has time to do lots of media interviews.

Mike Johnson says he's open to meeting with Adelita Grijalva but he's "been a little busy"

i hope that a governor spanberger and a democratic general assembly uses its authority to discipline the university for its capitulation and to remove these BOV members who have decided that they work for donald trump and not the people of the commonwealth

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

Many of these colleges are implementing the racist and transphobic DOJ memo that defines trans people out of existence, a massive insult and infringement on basic rights aimed at the significant trans populations at the universities. www.justice.gov/ag/media/140...

Universities that have caves to Trump this year on trans/race issues include: Brown University University of Pennsylvania University of Virginia Columbia University Next colleges to watch trying to make deals with Trump: UCLA/UC system Harvard University

Track other universities caving to Trump: bsky.app/profile/tran...

Virginia has strong civil rights protections for trans students in education, so it's likely these actions will violate state law, as at Brown University. www.jacksonlewis.com/insights/vir...

The University of Virginia has capitulated to Trump on transgender and race (affirmative action) issues. The details are currently sparse, but reporting suggests they've agreed to define trans people out of existence and ban trans students from facilities. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

'Corporate Terrorists' May Stand in the Way of Elon Musk's Trillionaire Status, He Claims https://gizmodo.com/corporate-terrorists-may-stand-in-the-way-of-elon-musks-trillionaire-status-he-claims-2000675753

The White House getting bulldozed is giving “Saturn Devouring His Son” vibes, with Trump consuming the country instead.

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

“I don’t trust this president. I don’t trust the word of Republicans. I want to see something substantive,” says Sen. Cory Booker as Democrats stand firm on their healthcare fight amid the government shutdown.

Looks as if Trump is saying no Democrat will be allowed to win another national election—and he will use the FBI, the DOJ, and the CIA to make sure of that. This is a full-scale attack on American democracy, and every Republican, CEO, and conservative mouthpiece who doesn't object is complicit.

One day the White House “ballroom” will be a museum cataloguing this country’s descent into autocracy, including horrors we have yet to see. Bookmark this skeet

Billionaires are using a loophole to avoid Medicare taxes. Closing it — and eliminating other ways around the tax for wealthy business owners — could raise more than $250 billion over 10 years for the program. (Published Dec. 2024)

Releasing a health care plan is not negotiating. It's...releasing a health care plan. Odd that the House speaker doesn't understand that basic point.

COLLINS: If you have a healthcare plan, why not have that out there to talk about in the public so people can hear it? MIKE JOHNSON: We need to get back to regular session so we can. We will not negotiate with legislative terrorists

the ghost of liberace is all "whew tone it down gurl"

Trump waves around renderings of his new ballroom, which appears to be entirely gold

Andrew Cuomo’s campaign just posted — and quickly deleted — this AI-generated ad depicting “criminals for Zohran Mamdani.” Features a Black man in a keffiyeh shoplifting, an abuser, a trespasser, a trafficker, a drug dealer, and a drunk driver all declaring support for Mamdani.

He knows what's coming next year and he sure as shit is more afraid of AOC-types than anybody else.

Trump: AOC is talking about having rebellions, she's not the leader, who the hell wants to go into her door anyway, she never took a course on the environment. The only thing wrong with midterms is a President gets elected, and for some reason, you lose the midterms.

"This student’s parent reached out to our district and asked for help finding a solution. We informed the parent that documentation such as a chromosome analysis could be considered to help support or verify eligibility in accordance with policy." that's the statement released *to the press*

Don't forget the "donations," which pretty much amount to a backdoor bribe. If he's using the USG to cover the renovations AND taking donations, then those donations are going to be "leftovers." And since money is fungible... I don't know what the total donations are, so that's just stand-in.

Paragraph at the bottom confirms my suspicion that he’s ordering the DOJ to pay him $230 million so he can finance his ballroom. The Epstein Ballroom.

The repeated lying is noted, in a begrudging nonconfrontational way, but it doesn’t stop the piece from wholly relying on what these bald-faced liars are saying now.

This little item by Luke Broadwater on the abrupt, wholly unannounced destruction of a major component of the White House complex is a microcosm of the dysfunctional relationship the press has with this mendacious administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

And, no, do not pull this shit with me.

Congrats, The Atlantic and The New York Times, this is the country you've created.

This particular incident involves a terrific @chicagotribune.com reporter who is doing his job by reporting ICE sightings in Chicago. Both the trump admin and Twitter extremists are coming after him. It’s outrageous.

Signal boosting in the hope one of the journalists who follows me or @whstancil.bsky.social will read the thread and reach out to him. What Will is experiencing goes far beyond just “trolling” and is quite dangerous.
