Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Gov. JB Pritzker on ABC: "He certainly has the power of the presidency. He does not have the power to overcome the Constitution. And so am I afraid? I am not afraid. Do I think that he could do it? He might. But as I've said before, come and get me I mean. You're dead wrong, Mr. President."

these guys haaaaaaate free speech

Recognizing that Trump is driven by greed, Qatar and other Middle Eastern countries have figured out that they can get whatever they desire by simply bribing the felon in the White House. 😳👇

Every time the GOP claims they support the troops, remember this

Pope Leo XIV weighed in on U.S. politics, saying that Catholic politicians must be judged on the full range of their policy positions and suggesting that the country's immigration policy is "inhuman."

Trump got a Covid vaccine today.

also a sign of how far trump has checked out-there is zero chance in the old days he would countenance anyone else taking credit, even in a slip of the tongue

A producer and editor for WGN-TV was violently forced to the ground this morning by two Border Patrol agents, before having her hands cuffed behind her back, during an ICE action in Chicago’s Lincoln Park neighborhood. Debbie Brockman has worked for the local television station since 2011.

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia" Full interview: newrepublic.com/article/2016...

🚨 It’s Mythbusters time. I asked my Democratic colleagues to help me clear up the shutdown misinformation being spread by Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social @pelosi.house.gov @frost.house.gov @raskin.house.gov @kim.senate.gov

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

NOTABLE: Lindsey Halligan requested that a summons be issued for Letitia James to appear in court. She did not request an arrest warrant.

BREAKING New York Attorney General Letitia James has issued her first statement in the aftermath of being indicted by President Trump’s DOJ.

New statement from AG James: "This is nothing more than a continuation of the president's desperate weaponization of our justice system. "I am not fearful — I am fearless."

I've been wondering why Dominion Voting Systems suddenly reached settlements with Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, and One America News. Turns out, it's been purchased by a Republican-owned election tech firm that insisted on it, per Axios. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

BREAKING: New York Attorney General Leticia James was just indicted by the Trump Administration. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

The federal investigation into the death of convicted sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was marred by significant lapses, experts told CBS News, including the failure by investigators to interview potential witnesses, properly preserve certain evidence and run basic forensic tests.

The Rudy method..."'We've got lots of theories but we just don't have the evidence,'"

Yesterday: Trump bragged, "We took the freedom of speech away." Today: New reporting on Trump's plans to go after opposition groups. In 9 days: We mount the largest peaceful protest in modern history to say, loud and clear, that America has no king. nokings.org

Russia took less than 1% of Ukraine since Nov 2023. Only cost them at least half a million soldiers.

WSJ: President Trump believed his Truth Social post demanding prosecutions of James Comey and other political foes was a private message to his attorney general, and "and was surprised to learn it was public." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

First, Texas buses thousands of migrants to Chicago as a political stunt. Now, Trump sends the Texas National Guard to "manage" the situation they helped create. The audacity is breathtaking.

Someday these ICE thugs will be brought up on criminal charges and receive the justice they deserve.

Pope Leo has reportedly escalated his growing feud with Trump, instructing U.S. bishops to take a stronger public stand against the president’s hardline immigration policies.

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats: “Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

just lol at the point

Josh Hawley and Yale Law School, ladies and gentlemen.

Wise words and hope. Thank you, Jane Goodall.

Sound familiar? 😳👇

Except that Donald Trump himself signed the current law requiring federal employees to get back pay.

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?” BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡 (That’s a yes)

Republican logic: Hold the majority, refuse to negotiate, go on vacation, blame Democrats for the shutdown. FACT: @housedemocrats.bsky.social have been showing up to work ready to stop the shutdown and save health care. Republicans have not.

Did Dems walk into a shutdown "trap"? Or is Trump using the shutdown to continue doing all the authoritarian s**t he was going to do anyway?

Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

“Multiple current and former JAGs — military lawyers who are members of the judge advocate general’s corps —told CNN that the strikes do not appear lawful.”

“This is a nation of Constitutional law, not martial law,” wrote U.S. District Judge Karin Immergut, a Trump appointee.

What's important is to understand the cumulative effect of it all. To not just see today's outrage. See the silencing of Kimmel, the arrest of Comey, the harassment of Soros, the troops in our cities, the seizure of spending power, as all part of a plan to end our democracy.

Evil fuckery: With Maxwell’s appeal denied, Trump says he’ll “take a look” at a pardon, pretending he barely remembers her. A convicted sex trafficker dangles for favor while the presidency toys with clemency. Justice warped to placate power.

Greta Thunberg speaks to the press after being released from illegal detainment in Israel: "I could talk for a very, very long time about our mistreatment and abuses in our imprisonment. Trust me, but that is not the story.”

Republicans lie. They know they're lying. It's intentional gaslighting. Pointing out their lies will never get them to "see the light." THEY ARE INTENTIONALLY LYING. It IS their strategy. Lying is the MAGA strategy. They do it because they know a lie repeated becomes perception.

BREAKING: Illinois has filed suit to block Trump's deployment of the military to Chicago. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Supreme Court rejects Ghislaine Maxwell’s appeal — now release the Epstein files. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

I should note her order blocks it from any state and includes DC

Speaker Johnson is fighting release of the Epstein files

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Trump sending ICE agents on Black Hawk helicopters to land on the rooftops of Chicago residential buildings to killing people in international waters based on zero evidence they are a threat to the US demand far more media coverage. Yet corporate media would rather talk Bad Bunny upsetting MAGA.
