CHICAGO — U.S. District Court Judge Sara Ellis said Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino admitted to lying about whether a rock hit him before he used tear gas on Chicagoans in Little Village last month. @wttw.bsky.social #Chicago #ICE @brendannyhan.bsky.social news.wttw.com/2025/11/06/f...

Guardian: Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Remember, this is coming out in discovery in “impeding a federal officer” criminal proceedings against the *shooting victim*

Why are tax cuts for the rich permanent while anything for workers is temporary? We know the answer and we are sick of it

In Trump's first term, he was directly responsible for 25% OF ALL US DEBT acquired – going back to the beginning of the country. In the last 9.5 months, he's added another $4 Trillion to the national debt. Scream this at every Republican who claims they're the party of fiscal responsibility.

Is that the combined weight of GOP candidates in midterm elections?

My experience as a single woman: The Venn diagram of men who think women should not work and the men who call women "gold diggers" is a perfect circle.

Update Breaking: Chicago's Victory Over ICE - For Now! Attorney Rob Held Explains From the Scene

Vote for MAGA when you really hate your flight being on time.

Can’t pick the right proverb. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes? FAFO? Lie with dogs, get up with fleas? You reap what you sow? Play with fire, get burned? You made your bed, now lie in it? Nah. He’s a scorpion—you knew what he was.

The fuckers got away with it. The company. The people who made the decisions. All of them. They got away with killing hundreds for the sake of a few cents per share of increased earnings. 🤬

Federal workers are furloughed. Veterans can’t access benefits. SNAP is blocked. Families are choosing between groceries and rent. Trump? Hosting a Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago for billionaires - while sending $40B to Argentina. Breadlines for us.🥖 Champagne for them.🍾🥂

This is so heartbreaking! This poor kid and everyone just like him! I just can't. 😭😭 youtube.com/shorts/kmnuv...

As we lament cancelled and delayed flights, a reminder of what air traffic controllers have been going through. It's insane that we pay them so little to begin with that they live paycheck to paycheck, and now there's the shutdown. It's not right, and it makes me very worried for air safety too.

Gonna go out on a limb and say if a judge has to order you to provide water to the people you have kidnapped and detained, that you are not on the side of anything holy. You are in fact, evil.

Another part of the huge victory....dems won enough seats in Mississippi to break the GOP super majority

At today's hearing on Republicans Stealing Food and Healthcare, Ashley Gooden-Stewart of TX testifies: "The thought that any lawmaker prioritizes a billionaire's greed over my daughter's access to her asthma medication makes my stomach churn."

10% of Meta's 2024 ad revenue came from outright frauds and scams; the platform shows consumers 15 billion ads for fraud and scams every single day. This doesn't even include agitprop and AI slop. the existential collapse of this monumental pile of shit company simply can't come quickly enough

If you wonder why Trump is talking about invading Nigeria when he can't even find it on a map, this article from last year sheds some light. Tech billionaires paid for Trump & they want the minerals that their tech depend on. They will destroy us all for more $$$ blogs.lse.ac.uk/africaatlse/...

Gee we never had to reduce flights to “maintain safety” when Pete was transportation secretary.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

"What has happened today is domestic terrorism!" says a City of Chicago employee, who's a parent of a child at Rayitos del Sol day care center, where a teacher was violently abducted by ICE this morning. It is a violation of rights of children, parents, and teachers! www.youtube.com/live/ahjU7LH...

hey Chicago here a couple of actions I cannot make but maybe you want to know about them, if you’re upset about daycare teachers being abducted by the secret police in front of toddlers: - press conference at 1:30 at @quigley.house.gov ‘s office on 1925 N Clybourn - rally at Belle Plain/Damen 6:30

GOP is the party of traumatizing toddlers. It's either kidnapping their teachers or sexually molesting them, but the GOP is all about it. What has the GOP ever done that hasn't traumatized toddlers? Because they really seem to enjoy starving them.

Jesus fucking Christ.

Highly recommend this book by Artem Chapeye on what it feels like to be inside Ukraine, fighting for your existence, right now.

To be crystal clear: if the Dems racking up wins today had taken the breathless advice of opinion columnists and thrown immigrants and trans people to the wolves, they would have lost today. They won because they didn’t.

Who could have predicted that what voters wanted after all were candidates with even a modicum of a spine? This was truly unknowable before today.

Every time I come to China I get more and more annoyed with how many interesting, well resolved choices in budget EVs they have that we don’t. This is the GAC Aion UT, a small hatchback about the size of a Chevy bolt that stickers for about $10,000 USD. @insideevs.com

As DHS attorneys argue in court this morning that reporters are somehow just wandering into the path of fire and catching strays is their own fault, here's a video from 9/26 (the date in question) that shows feds aiming directly at an obvious press gaggle trying to stay out of their way:

Zohran Mamdani overcoming a nationwide smear campaign from both sides of the establishment once again proves that there is no substitute for simply being the person you say you are.

if they'd been smart enough to sense which way the wind was blowing they could have jumped on board and then taken credit for it. now they all look like, AT BEST, they were too dumb to see this win coming, but honestly it's pretty clear they're just assholes who were trying to sabotage him

Pope Leo addresses DHS’s refusal to allow pastoral visits at Broadview: “Jesus says very clearly: At the end of the world, we're going to be asked, how did you receive the foreigner? Did you receive him, and welcome him, or not?”

“Look at these scumbags — in the car with guns with a baby in the back.” What are we doing?

Amazing what can be accomplished with the power of an aloof wife

Early reports from the front lines of right-wing media tonight are starting to trickle in. We’re being told “hoes mad”

I love that Zohran did not praise Cuomo in his speech. You absolutely do not have to say nice things about bad people. We should normalize that in “polite” politics: Praising bad people is not actually “civility.”

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

No one deserves more scorn tonight than Chuck Schumer. Take a bow, Chuck. Your failure to endorse Mamdani was a master class in how to miss an incredibly obvious political opportunity. How to Kick Yourself in the Dick Politics 101. Great job teaching young democrats what NOT to do. No notes.

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…
