Billie Eilish just called out Mark Zuckerberg—to his face.

He’s gonna be gone. Next week or 2030…he’s gonna be gone. All the revisionist history in world won’t change the complete moral collapse that is his current followers. Remember who did what in the run up…when it was easy to hide from it. Not when the exit strategy was already being executed.

The Senate passed a resolution aimed at ending President Donald Trump’s global tariffs introduced last spring, with four Senate Republicans joining Democrats to object to the president’s trade policy.

Ryan Clark responds to Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry vowing to keep LSU AD from hiring next coach "Second most ridiculous thing he said this week. The first was standing on campus and saying he wanted to put a statue of somebody (Charlie Kirk) that doesn’t represent the people of Louisiana"

From billionaire supporters like Musk to top advisers like Stephen Miller to ICE agents carrying out his deportations, Trump is dependent on others to carry out his agenda. Democrats must make clear to every one of those underlings that they’ll be held accountable—if not today, then one day soon.

Cops are great Also: record everything

Killing people on the open seas without a declaration of war is mass murder.

“.. Mr. Xi’s message seemed to be: Beijing had proven its capacity to hit back and Washington would do well to remember it.” @nytimes.com 🇨🇳 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...

So I think the Epstein Files are the key to it all. I've always found it obvious that he was holding some major blackmail on many GOP in congress. It's just not plausible that they all rolled over & gave up all dignity & self respect just to avoid losing their seats.. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

Art of the deal 🤷🏼

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

Nuclear testing isn’t something you greenlight in a post, but turning national security into a fear show is how authoritarians rule.

Too many Americans either didn’t care or didn’t believe. Hopefully they do now.👇

If Stephen Miller had paid attention in con law, he’d know: Congress controls the money. Courts interpret the law. The president doesn’t get to shout “You’re fired!” at the entire civil service when he loses a budget fight.

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras. They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.

"Food Stamps are definitely the problem." #EatTheRich Also, big savings: all USA #Military work for free... now. #TrumpShutdown #PedophileProtection #EpsteinList

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Everybody's talking about Dem strategy, so here's something to add to the mix. I start with this premise: The best and most reliable indicator of whether someone will vote red or blue is the density of the place they live. More dense, more likely to be blue, & vice versa.

Rep. Jim Himes: "Fentanyl...comes out of Mexico, from the cartels there. There is cocaine coming out of Colombia, not so much Venezuela. So what we see there is a massive number of military assets deployed for purely performative reasons...It's purely performative."

Yes, Lord of the Rings is about how you must trust the “hard men.” Just as Narnia is about an evil lion. And the New Testament tells a tale of a wimp who wouldn’t fight back. Next week on “fascists read classics,” we’ll meet tech visionary George Orwell…

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Obviously California has issues but this defense of their policies by Newsom is worth watching. TN is a low tax state - for the top. regressive for the bottom. our services and laws punish working people also (bottom in infant & maternal mortality, poverty, school spending, violent crime, etc..)

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

2nd in line to the presidency, yet consistently has no idea what’s happening in the country

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

Page One in Idaho: you’re on your own, folks. #SNAP #Shutdown

New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people www.404media.co/ice-and-cbp-...

DHS deceptively spliced images from different cities and times in videos sowing fear about "chaos" in Chicago and Washington, D.C., a WaPo investigation found. DHS used footage from years ago, half the country away, or even in international waters, the Post found. 🎁 🔗 wapo.st/4nuDGwf

“.. states with mid-to-high single digit percentage increases in grocery prices over past year ..” (via Liz Ann Sonders) #CPI 🇺🇸

so many companies say they are replacing people - laying them off - with automated systems, AI. but there has been no real auditing or regulatory approach to vetting such claims. i am deeply skeptical. think a lotta the cuts are just due to failures to sell or cut costs & prior over hiring.

Note: This is me — I asked this question. You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Struggling to imagine the chutzpah it takes to say that someone "doesn't understand New York culture" because they're an immigrant.

EXCLUSIVE: Leading Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have launched an investigation into the Trump Administration’s use of private platforms like Truth Social and X for official business — per docs obtained by MeidasTouch.

Authoritarianism comes fast, Governor J. B. Pritzker told @markleibovich.bsky.social. “And if you’re not willing to stand up and push back while it’s happening in the early days,” Pritzker added, “it gets a lot harder later.”

"Institutions like Wikipedia are the last bastions of the dream of a free and open internet that betters humanity. Protecting the source code of reality is a matter of survival for a free and sane society, and we must act like it."

He’s still got it

Colorado’s state version of 1983 is really good. One of the good things it does is create an adverse inference if officers’ body worn cameras are off when they’re interacting with the public. It means the jury gets told to assume the camera would have caught evidence bad for the cop.

Now Open.

Netanyahu keeps bombing his way out of court. Probably a coincidence.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.
