The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Israeli settlers attack Palestinians, journalists at West Bank olive harvest, witnesses say - www.reuters.com/world/middle... There is no ceasefire. 🤬🤬🤬

Phillip Lewis, a 72-year-old cancer patient, said he was woken up and marched outside his home in his robe and underwear before federal officers even checked his ID. He was not, it turned out, the man they were looking for. By @wendicthomas.bsky.social & @kathsburgess.bsky.social

I believe these are called "concentration camps."

Let’s hear more of the dangers of democratic socialism under Mamdani

FBI director Patel used a goven't jet to see his gf sing the national anthem at a wrestling match. His response. Fire the person responsible for revealing it. Flight logs show there was a flight to the location and Patel posting pics of him and his gf there. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Maybe because he intervened militarily to end a democracy of 340 million people.

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second? I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Gift article www.nytimes.com/interactive/... Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has, often in open defiance of the law. His actions have raised a chilling question. OPINION | THE EDITORIAL BOARD Are We Losing Our Democracy? By The Editorial Board

You can't make this up.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE: FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown. Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

When I told a friend about this she said, “but that’s when I get all my deals…” My response… what will you do when there are no deals, no food, no jobs, no homes…?

One of President Donald Trump's nominees to lead the U.S. Export-Import Bank withdrew from consideration on Wednesday after Democrats raised concerns about his ties to Russian businesses, according to a new report.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

I’m sure they worked very hard for it.

A running team from Chicago posted that Trump’s federal agents dragged a runner (67 years old) from his car, broke his ribs, and caused internal bleeding. IG: dwrunning1

Jeff Bezos contributed millions to Trump ( who solicited money from billionaire oligarchs) for that ballroom. Two things are sure: Bezos & wife will dance in that ballroom. Regular Americans will never be invited

They actually said "Bottom line, the well has run dry," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in a post on its website. "At this time, there will be no benefits issued November 01." WTAF? Is it empty because of $40B to Argentina, w jets for Noem, a Qatari jet retrofit or the inflated golf trips?

@pkeough1.bsky.social writes that Guillermo del Toro's #Frankenstein2025 is, like some other realizations of longtime cinema dreams, alternately magnificent, stunning, provocative, over-produced, exhausting, and fatuous. artsfuse.org/319122/film-...

Hide your pets from ICE because not only that they love killing people but also, animals. Make sure to learn some form of self defense to protect yourselves, families, and pets! Put locks on your doors and use door stoppers to help keep them out. Try setting up traps around your home to deter them.

The @nytimes rightly taking heat for burying coverage of the massive protests in tiny pics below the fold on the cover and the story on page 23 — while saying they drew “thousands” (it was millions) and glazing Vance’s marines stunt. What’s going on in there?

Marco Rubio betrayed drug gang informants to seal El Salvador prison deal, report says

Huge surprise. Hostages freed, renew the war. Never saw that coming. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/m...

All they have is fear. You can't run on fear forever.

As a reminder to everyone, a key part of the Bari Weiss origin story is her livetweeting editorial meetings. In the institutions she critiques she treats leakers (including herself) as principled dissenters. In the institutions she controls, she expects loyal silence.

Trump is saying that the courts got it wrong, because Santos is "just a rogue". But he always votes Republican. So Trump sets him free. If this is not sheer partisan favoritism & a birdflip to the judge, I don't know what is. Trump making the judicial system a joke! www.abc.net.au/news/2025-10...

TACO strikes again. apnews.com/article/trum...  Ahead of Zelenskyy meeting, Trump shows signs he might not be ready to send Kyiv Tomahawk missiles

When a picture says a thousand words… #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn

Elise Stefanik is scrubbing photos of herself accepting awards from the vile Young Republicans caught in the Politico group chat. She supported every single one of them in New York State.

Anyway here's a picture of Mike Lawler hanging out with one of the Young Republicans who suggested putting their political opponents in gas chambers

I’m pretty sure they don’t even let you *run* for Congress as a Republican unless you’ve got at least one (1) restraining order from a former girlfriend half your age.

Half of America’s Voting Machines Now Owned by a MAGA Oligarch They told us elections were rigged. Then they cloned stolen voting software. Then they bought the voting machines. dissentinbloom.substack.com/p/half-of-am...

NEW: Adrian Fontes has CERTIFIED the results of the AZ-07 election of Adelita Grijalva. Mike Johnson is OUT of EXCUSES and should swear her in.

2 These aren’t trolls. The logs show slurs used 251+ times; William Hendrix used the N-word more than a dozen times. Peter Giunta: “everyone that votes no is going to the gas chamber.” Members include a state senator and a Trump administration adviser. One lost a job; another had an offer rescinded.

OMG quit it Gavins press team im running outta tears laughing so damn hard!!🤣🤣👇👇👇👇

Q: We've seen images out of Chicago of federal agents shooting faith leaders with pepper balls and arresting journalists. Where's the limit for you on what's acceptable conduct by federal agents? MIKE JOHNSON: I've not seen them cross the line yet.

In their entirety.

Maybe #KathrynBigelow's #AHouseofDynamite wants to tantalize us with a nightmare from which there is no escape, writes @pkeough1.bsky.social, in order to distract us, briefly, from the ongoing disasters that we are compelled to face and overcome. artsfuse.org/318465/film-...
