This story is nuts. "ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

A reminder: The Attorney General of the United States should be the people's lawyer, not the president's personal attorney. The Department of Justice should act to protect the public, not just the occupant of the Oval Office and his political allies.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

An awful lot of these stories...

The Trump administration has explored whether to use a Coast Guard facility on Staten Island to hold detained immigrants, a move that could expand the federal government’s detention capacity in New York as it seeks to escalate immigration roundups in the city. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/n...

I am honestly a little shocked that I haven't heard more pundits and interview subjects pointing back to the Trump/Miss Teen USA stuff from 2016, in light of all the once-again-increased Epstein scrutiny. I mean, it's right there. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Reminder: The Hillary emails were always front page news. But there was no actual news in them. It was all boring stuff. But emails!!!!

Just naked bigotry, they don't even bother trying to hide anymore

So Elise Stefanik is running for NY governor. She abandoned every principle she claimed to have in exchange for a seat on the Trump train. Here’s a thread about Stefanik, who is a serial liar, an ally of a Hitler admirer, and an opponent of sharing baby formula with migrant infants. 🧵 1/10

From the @nytimes.com this is untrue: “Mr. Trump often discredits election results he does not like” It should read: Mr. Trump *always* discredits election results he does not like” I believe his record is unblemished in that regard. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/05/u...

This song was written before Dick Cheney and Company led the U.S. into war with Iraq. But it’s all about him…

Good post, here.

So far, the Trump who claims to hate foreign adventures has suggested taking over or invading: Greenland Gaza Canada Venezuela Nigeria In the first 9 months.

Straight up “papers please” harassment of people doing their jobs and assault and brutalizing of people who tied to intervene. Abolish DHS.

Tomorrow, everyday runners will compete against the best in the world in the #NewYorkCityMarathon. Same course. Same day. Every other sport has some barrier to entry that prevents amateurs from competing against world class athletes. Major road races stand alone.

Impeachable offenses now happened with such regularity that nobody blinks.

Numerous scenes of violence have emerged from the besieged Sudanese city of El Fasher since it was captured by paramilitaries last weekend. The evidence of atrocities stoked fears that Darfur is plunging, once again, into a cycle of genocidal violence.

Alejandro Juarez, who worked for more than a decade at a Trump Organization golf club, said he was never given a chance to contest his deportation in front of an immigration judge before he was returned to Mexico. ICE agents told him that they were just following orders. Those orders were wrong.

I’ve been saying this for months and it’s good to see another sober documentation. When oh when will the press start demanding to see the evidence for DHS’s inflammatory claims?

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

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

"The club condemned the incident, saying: 'This really is happening in our country with frightening frequency. It’s terrifying and it has to stop.'" It will continue until enough of us demand that it stop.

Mass killings reported in Sudanese city seized by paramilitary group

It was never a peace deal. It was a ceasefire. The explicit goal of Hamas is the extermination of Israel and creation of an Islamic theocracy.

When Trump raced in to tear down the Bonwit Teller building in Manhattan, in order to put up Trump Tower, he hired illegal immigrants. They were called the Polish Brigade. And yes, of course Trump stiffed them.

I wonder how many on the White House demolition crew were immigrants. It would make a great story.

Half of the chuds applying for ICE jobs these days are unable to pass the written part of the application process, even though it’s an open book test.

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death. adamisacson.com/boat-strikes/

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Contrary To Trump's Plan: Senior Hamas Officials Emphasize The Organization Will Not Disarm

I posted a short video about today's ICE raids just to document the massive show of force that I saw to arrest no more than three people: youtu.be/gLsUtilFAOc

Well, that is one way to encourage activists around the state to paint crosswalks. "Look, here's a cheap, peaceful and easy thing to do that they will notice!"

Trump demanding the U.S Treasury to pay him $230M, when he controls the people making the decision, is, quite literally, looting the U.S. Treasury. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/u...

Remember when Bush came into office and they accused the Clinton predecessors of removing the W from the keyboards?

Last weekend, @annabower.bsky.social started to receive Signal messages from the U.S. attorney who is leading the prosecution of Letitia James. Throughout the exchange, Lindsay Halligan complained about Bower’s tweets and reporting on the indictment–but never once asked to be off the record.

I worked with Erez Reuveni at the Dept. of Justice. He is a man of consummate integrity. His warning must catalyze action by us, the people of the United States.

This one is for the runners: Musket fire is an awesome way to start a race. Along with a fife and drum corps. Paine to Pain. Trail Half Marathon. New Rochelle, NY. This past Sunday.

Trump's federal agents shot Marimar Martinez, a US citizen, multiple times for allegedly menacing them with her car in Chicago. Only hours later, Kristi Noem and DHS started spreading disinformation about the shooting. Now the official line is crumbling. 1/ (link) newrepublic.com/article/2019...

I’ve never seen sadism described like that.
