Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo? I talked to him yesterday. He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

"In effect, these voters responded to the most comprehensive attempt to provide concrete benefits to them since the New Deal by loading an economic shotgun and pointing it directly at themselves." prospect.org/politics/202...

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Leave it to CNN to use imagery from the 1992 Rodney King riots to prop up Trump's threats to use the Insurrection Act in 2025.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Note: Cao is the dude who is scared of Wiccans, and who claimed he was 100% disabled "just from being blown up in combat many times"—despite never having received a Purple Heart nor having been awarded the Navy Combat Action Ribbon, discrepancies he has declined to resolve.

Portland is so peaceful Republicans had to go all the way to South America to find photos from years ago for their bad memes.

"A clear visual clue that the photograph was not taken in Portland was that the first officer’s shield is marked 'Policia', the Spanish or Portuguese word for police." As you can see, I had to use cutting edge #OSINT techniques for this one.

Looking forward to seeing this referenced by @craigcalcaterra.bsky.social in tomorrow’s Cup of Coffee newsletter

These Republicans are unbelievably soft

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago. ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social

But I thought if you smeared someone and they were then the victim of violence, that meant you had to be fired from your job. Or does Fox News only think that applies to teachers?

ICE is lying. Go figure

Hey there, @nytimes.com. The judge didn’t “decide not to immediately block.” She ordered a response from the government Wednesday and set a hearing Thursday. Let me know if you need help with this.

Important post here. Also, I am so tired of these made-up titles to enable the people really running our government to avoid even a brief day of questioning in the Senate. If Congress wants to create a "CEO" of the IRS, it is certainly free to do so. I expect that would be a Senate-confirmed role.

President Donald Trump and other high-ranking Republicans claim Democrats forced the government shutdown fight because they want to give free health care to immigrants in the U.S. illegally. That's not true. Here are the facts. buff.ly/chEhHMc

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

Read the whole thread to see how the no experience new editor in chief of CBS (potentially) chatGPTed he heartfelt all staff email

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

I told ya this would happen

Contrary to the new owner of CBS, it isn’t the case that 70% of Americans identify themselves as center-left or -right. www.pbump.net/o/you-cant-g...

the restraint Senator Kelly shows in not ending this with "... you little ignorant little sycophant." is incredibly admirable.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

Mark Sanchez is doing football commentary the right way. by Ezra Klein

Trump is ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to deploy their National Guard, ignoring the truth, lying about violence to justify his invasions.

Notice how Miller reframes opposition to Trump policies as "designed to nullify the results of the 2024 election" as if winning means no one can oppose Trump or protest against him. It's all so laughably hypocritical. Obviously he took exactly the opposite approach under Biden.

NEW: Oregon and Portland filed an amended complaint in their lawsuit against Trump tonight, with a new plaintiff added who is joining them: California. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Video taken one hour ago outside the Portland ICE facility of the violent insurrectionists in question

Last week, one of Trump's senior DOJ appointees strongly attacked a South Carolina's judge's voting rights decision. Today her house was burned to the ground by suspected arsonists.

I told you guys back when ICE first invaded LA the agents tried to go into my hometown Whittier public library to pee. When the librarians told them to get lost they peed all over the building and flower beds in broad daylight.

If a Dem President had done this, Fox News and the GOP would have focused on it for weeks, meanwhile this will barely be a ripple.

Meanwhile, construction of the $200M ballroom at the White House continues apace.

One in five Americans say they regularly get news on TikTok, a dramatic uptick from just 3% in 2020, according to a Pew Research Center analysis published last week. 🔗: https://www.niemanlab.org/2025/09/more-americans-than-ever-now-get-news-on-tiktok-pew-finds/

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts. Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

UPDATE — “Former megachurch pastor Robert Morris, once spiritual adviser to Trump, pleaded guilty to sexually abusing a child… 10-year suspended sentence, ordered to serve six months, register as a sex offender, pay $250,000 in restitution…” www.dallasnews.com/news/faith/2...

If you said this exact combination of words to a cop at a traffic stop, they wouldn't even waste time with the breathalyzer.

NEW: A 20-year federal prosecutor, fired abruptly this week even as he lead case against Abbey Gate bomber, warns his colleagues: the Trump administration is sacrificing national security to purge Trump's perceived adversaries. w/ @dnlbrns www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

There are two reasons for this 1-keeping the House out jams the Senate with the 7-week CR as the only available option 2-it keeps Adelita Grijalva from being sworn in, so there aren't 218 names on the discharge petition to release the Epstein files

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Happy 74th birthday, Dave Winfield! The story behind his personal brand, designed by legends Todd Radom & Bill Frederick, is built on one word: integrity. Full story: news.sportslogos.net/2016/02/14/p... #MLB #HOF @toddradom.bsky.social

SCOOP: PA prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parent's address in Pennsylvania for years. Me with @marisakabas.bsky.social slate.com/news-and-pol...

Remember when Hillary Clinton called some Trump supporters “deplorable“?

First give Trump a gold plated phone then follow his autocratic orders
