US citizen Maria Greeley, a Latina who was adopted, was walking home from work downtown when masked agents zip tied her. They said she “doesn’t look like a Greeley.” This is how the government treats people under current deportation policies. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/11/15/l...

They long stopped pretending this was about crime.

The Trump regime is declaring that funding for the CFPB is illegal. Remember: This is the agency that protects Americans from financial predators. Anti-CFPB oligarchs, who spent millions to re-elect Trump, will now have an easier time padding their pockets by ripping you off.

Donald Trump is now going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to take SNAP food benefits away from Americans in need. California won't back down in court from supporting the tens of millions of Americans the Trump Administration seemingly wants to starve.

His "concept" of a Healthcare Plan is finally revealed. It involves eliminating the Insurance Industry & people purchasing their OWN, MUCH BETTER, HEALTHCARE. Unrelated, note his obsessive envy of Obama, historically rated 1 of our finest presidents, who he still believes was born in Kenya. #sad 🤣

Went to an art show in Brooklyn tonight, and came across a piece that definitely captures the spirit of the moment. Link to the not-on-Bluesky artist here: tr.ee/0PMUiFI1bO

So now we will have California redistricted, and possibly Virginia and others. On to 2026. Time to fight fire with fire. WE. WILL. WIN. Let’s get to work.

For the first time in 25 years, Major League Baseball has a repeat champion, and of course it’s California’s own Dodgers. Congratulations!

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

www.lawfaremedia.org/article/tria... Great coverage from Molly Roberts of Lawfare on the arraignment of Letitia James. I love this exchange between the prosecutor and the judge about the length of the trial.

Let people see Jack Smith for who he is and not the characters depicted by Trump and others.

Welp. The White House Concrete Slab is even uglier than I realized.

16% of Americans say Donald Trump has definitely set a high moral standard for the presidency.

Any real expert inside the government knows the President’s boat strikes won’t hold up in court. And they know detention in many cases will bring on judicial review. If those voices prevail, the govt will avoid bringing detainees to the U.S. or GTMO.

Fascists in the house!! “Before mass leaders seize the power to fit reality to their lies, their propaganda is marked by its extreme contempt for facts as such, for in their opinion fact depends entirely on the power of man who can fabricate it.” Hannah Arendt

You know shit's getting serious once they start using words you usually only hear over a boiling cauldron.

kristi noem...who claims she has to 'sign-off' on ANY govt purchase over $100K in order to 'prevent waste' BUT now she's spending upwards of $200MM to buy 2 GULFSTREAM private jets 1 each for her and her SIDEPIECE lewandowski⁉️ 🤮 the corruption is STAGGERING 💢 www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

There are more of us than there are of them. Thank you for a truly historic day of peaceful protests across America. #NoKings

Let’s be clear: Trump’s attacks on California's flood control projects started long before this shutdown. This flimsy pretext should not distract from the fundamental truth of his presidency: Trump is only interested in representing states that voted for him. He is half a president.

Among George Santos’ many scams was a “pet charity” where he swindled people out of money who needed it for medical care for their pets. This is who Trump just pardoned www.nytimes.com/2023/02/09/n...

Sometimes this administration makes my job really easy. Sometimes!*

here’s more context to the videos DHS is putting out from Chicago.

Unless and until some kind of compelling legal and moral argument is presented as to why this is a legitimate use of deadly force, this is just…mass murder.

Virtually every staffer that helps parents of children with special needs is gone from the Dept of Education. This is simply cruelty. abcnews.go.com/Politics/spe...

The government’s own data and detentions like the ones we reported on in Chicago raise serious doubt about whether the Trump administration’s mission is to target “the worst of the worst” at all. New reporting from @msnbc.com. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

JUST IN: Federal prosecutors in Chicago move to dismiss "without prejudice" the charges against Huburt Mazur, who faced a misdemeanor charge stemming from ICE protests in Broadview. Mazur's preliminary hearing was set for Wednesday morning. Background: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

two men were taken at a bakery by armed and masked federal agents in Cicero, Illinois this morning while having coffee before work. we were there moments later. Trump says they’re going after the “worst of the worst” around Chicago. that’s not what we saw. youtu.be/EkCcsaFdpsw?...

Immergut: I'm handling this on expedited basis, but defendants haven't provided new info. SHE RULES FROM THE BENCH: I grant the plaintiffs motion for a second TRO based on reasons stated in previous order...

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now. We are taking this fight back to court.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Hours after a federal judge paused the Trump administration’s plans to deploy 200 members of the Oregon National Guard to Portland, federal law enforcement officers escalated the tactics used on protesters in the city. Troy and I were on the ground:

Two things felt different to the ppl I spoke with who’d been protesting at the ICE building for months. 1st was the sheer volume of tear gas, pepper balls and flash-bangs used, seemingly unprovoked. 2nd was seeing so many videographers/live-streamers embedded with the feds as they marched out.
