Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

I was born at the children’s hospital in Washington DC

The people in Arizona’s 7th congressional district have been without representation in Congress for over 7 months. Mike Johnson continues to deny them representation because their duly elected representative has pledged to sign the petition to release the Epstein files.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Very concerning, if true.

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovino—the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz — to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd. More on Bovino www.allrisenews.com/p/general-sc...

Why didn’t Spirit Halloween label this costume “Trump Cabinet Secretary”

It sounds like he’s talking about a toddler.

Percentage Hispanic population Passaic County, NJ: 42.74% Kern County, CA: 54.9% Riverside County, CA: 49.72% Fresno County, CA: 53.61% Orange County, CA: 34.1% Los Angeles County, CA: 48% What happens when Kavanagh stops meet Roberts' disdain for the VRA

I think one of the things that non-evangelicals find most annoying about evangelicals is when they claim that other people can’t lead happy and fulfilling lives unless they believe in the same things that they do.

Autocrats want you to feel like pushing back is hopeless. It’s not! Trump is a paper tiger. Most Americans don’t want this authoritarian takeover.

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

Joel Camas is a 16 yr-old NYC high-school junior in the Bronx. He loves soccer & pepperoni pizza. Yesterday morning, his lawyer and I accompanied him to an ICE check-in. He has Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) — it should have been fine. But it was not.💔 [thread]

OAKLAND: a Trump ICE goon shoots a PASTOR — Rev. Jorge Bautista — directly in the face with a pepper round We are over the cliff, folks 🇺🇸

WATCH: “A MASTER PLAN” Usually stoic Kushner silently panics as Witkoff spills the beans on the Trump regime’s war profiteering in Gaza - they’ve been working on for ‘TWO YEARS’🤔 (But don’t worry, apparently $50 Billion is “not a lot of money”! 💰🙃) PSA: This slip-up should be a big deal.

Priorities.

This is what @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn & Trump refuse to even discuss, as even Marge points out. It’s not that we can’t afford Medicare for All, it’s that we can’t afford not to do it. How much longer are y’all gonna let this go on?

UPDATE — PERRY COUNTY, TN: LARRY BUSHART IS STILL in jail since 9/22, bail at $2 million (!!), for posting a “we have to get over it” Trump meme after Kirk’s murder (seems Sheriff Weems didn’t realize “Perry High” Trump referred to in the meme is in Iowa) theintercept.com/2025/10/23/c...

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness. Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

“.. It’s also the fastest accumulation of a trillion dollars in debt outside of the COVID-19 pandemic ..” @pbsnews.org www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House. Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

ICE Raid in Idaho: ICE agents allegedly pointed guns at three U.S. citizen children and brutally beat their mother.

No words.

When Tish James walks into a courthouse tomorrow — the target of a political prosecution demanded by a President obsessed with revenge — she does not walk in alone. New York has her back. Grateful to Governor Hochul for bringing us together tonight.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

"The fact that Trump is adorning his office with gold and doubling his net worth is all the proof you need that he was perfectly content to say whatever he needed to say on the campaign trail to manipulate his fans. But now that he's got what he needs from them, he's done helping them."

Protesters gathered on the road leading from Oakland to Coast Guard Island, opposing the deployment of CBP and other federal agents sent to crack down immigration enforcement in the Bay Area. 🎥: Amanda Andrade-Rhoades and Minh Connors

GET OUT AND VOTE, VIRGINIA!!!!

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Radical idea: The next Dem nominee should run on making bribery actually illegal. In every way.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

"nearly half..." ??? it's an open book test. www.nbcnews.com/politics/imm...

This is what Republicans voted for?

Inarguably the most newsworthy moment of the episode… but it was only on “OVERTIME”, not the part of @60minutes.bsky.social that actually aired on TV. Is this the pro-Israel hand of Bari Weiss in action? 🤔Kinda makes ya wonder.

I will repeat this every single day for the next three years: Any Democrat running for president in 2028 must pledge to immediately tear down/bulldoze/demolish Trump’s ballroom and fully restore the East Wing and any other piece of the People’s House Trump has or will destroy.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Oh.
