“ICE, their secret police, is their tool,” said Michelle Brané, a human rights attorney who directed DHS’ ombudsman office under Biden. “Once they have that power, which they have now, there’s nothing stopping them from using it against citizens.” @davidmcswane.bsky.social @hannahallam.bsky.social

🚨NEW: Following California's lead, Virginia is planning to redraw its Congressional map to cancel out GOP gains from partisan gerrymander. Illinois and Maryland need to follow suit.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche is threatening to arrest top California officials.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

Breaking: The Supreme Court is now officially considering taking up a case overturning same-sex marriage. This is the first time in history the court has considered rolling back this right.

an FBI official says the alleged NBA gambling ring involves the "Toronto Rangers" (not a real team), which doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the quality of their investigation

Yes, what the fuck???

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

“How DARE Cracker Barrel change their logo 😡🤬😡🤬 I’ll never eat there again!” “Destroy the White House harder, daddy 🥵🤤”

Reporter: The president had initially said that this project wouldn't interfere with or touch the current structure. Leavitt: If you look at the renderings, it's very clear the east wing was going to be modernized. Reporter: But modernizing and tearing down are two different things.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

🚨 oh look! Jack Smith is calling Marsha Blackburn’s bluff. Surely she should want him to testify publicly if she isn’t entirely full of 💩, right? Right?? www.cnn.com/2025/10/23/p...

Things like this keep happening.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

This is precisely how the Trump Foundation worked. He raised money and then spent it on himself. Which got him banned from operating a charity.

Trump is having a tariff meltdown on Truth Social this morning

im sorry but if you think “normies” dont care about the white house being demolished for a half billion dollar golden vanity ballroom as the economy implodes then you just arent as plugged in as you think you are

You Can Kill a Democracy Without a Dictator www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/o... With a gift link because I think it is very important for people to understand this:

New ICE recruits have shown up to training without full vetting. Recruits have had criminal backgrounds or failed drug tests or were unable to meet physical or academic standards. Some were dismissed because ICE training leaders learned that they had pending criminal charges.

A president who can tear down 1/3 of the White House can tear down the entire White House. A president who can steal $230M from the treasury can steal $1T from the Treasury. We have both legalized and tolerated Trump’s crimes, so they will only get bigger.

Bulldozed in 2025-as if this was his own property and not the peoples’ property. No one is holding him accountable. Get back to work @HouseRepublicans. You took an oath to protect our Constitution NOT this man. NO Kings in the USA!

On this day in 1961, Birmingham city officials announced they would close all city parks and swimming pools rather than permit Black citizens to use those facilities.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Federal agents raided the WRONG HOME in Portland—no warrant, guns drawn on a family with a baby. ICE still arrested 2 people after realizing the mistake. ICE official on the aggressive tactics: "If people interpret that as aggressive, so be it."

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

What??

As ICE continues to terrorize our communities, kidnapping our neighbors, 9 cyclists came together this morning at 6am to buyout 5 vendors and donate the food to a local shelter. They went home safe, hungry ppl were fed, this is #BikeChi ✊🏽

It’s crazy how willing he is to just confess to illegal things in front of a camera

The obvious $130M bribe paid directly to Donald aside, he's conspicuously hiding both of his hands now.

She will be fired and replaced with some unqualified Trump flunky hack who will do what they’re told.

I usually can't stand the sound of his voice, and I know Aaron transcribes these clips verbatim, but this one I had to hear for myself. What the actual fuck.

Listen: covert supply chain intervention concerns regarding implantation of listening devices in, say, new buildings in US military bases in Guam are considered really serious. And this is the WHITE HOUSE. Has there been vetting of vendors? Contractors and subcontractors? All labor? We don’t know!

the ballroom will never be built and he’ll just pocket whatever money he collects because he is a grifter first and foremost

One of Zhao’s lawyers also represents Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff’s son Zach, who co-founded Trump’s crypto company with him and got UAE to put in $2 billion. Zhao’s other lawyer is Donald Trump, Jr’s longtime hunting companion. bsky.app/profile/atru...

I honestly don't know how this video is not a bigger scandal. I don't care who you plan to vote for; this video was absurdly racist, besides the lack of disclosure. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/n...

🚨BREAKING: Virginia Democrats follow in California’s footsteps, and will hold a special legislative session to draw a new congressional map to counter the wave of aggressive Republican gerrymanders nationwide.

Republicans in NC are rigging the map against Congressman Don Davis because they can't beat him at the polls. This isn't what we fought for. It's naked corruption. Read the full statement from North Carolina US Army and USMC veterans on this pathetic new gerrymander. #NCpol

CHP is currently pushing people out of the entrance to Coast Guard Island, Alameda, California, where ICE agents and federal guard are being housed. They’ve been asked to clear the street so “civilians” can leave the base. Unclear what they mean by “civilians” and won’t offer more information.

This is what it used to look like inside the lobby area.

Because bigotry is confused with patriotism and because these “patriots” are seen by the press corps as the only authentic Americans. Everyone else, and I mean this, is second class.

They know the East Wing demolition is bad optics for them that’s why so many have suddenly “come to life” on this platform today armed w/inaccurate talking points about earlier renovations at the WH.

Ad: This clip, then cutting to people waiting in food lines, then to Johnson saying he isn't familiar with X, Y, or Z, then cutting to U.S. citizens being arrested by masked goons, then a quote from Roberts and the immunity decision.
