"What kind of monsters grab children & take them outside without clothes? Who does that?

Important line in the story, of the US president: "...[H]is pro-Israel message sometimes appears aimed more at his conservative and evangelical Christian supporters than at American Jews, who he has complained are insufficiently appreciative of his positions on the Middle East." wapo.st/42q0h5z

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Everyone should listen to Chris Murphy's extraordinary warning about Trump on our pod. First, he says the logic must be that the more lawless he gets, the stiffer the resistance. "If I give in and consent to these kinds of tactics then it just normalizes it all." 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2013...

Relatedly, someone really should fund a lawsuit by ppl who got home-invaded, assaulted, and kidnapped by ICE agents without a warrant. Yes, SCOTUS will throw it out. Make them. Let Roberts and his fellow Republicans on the court tie themselves to this hideous and also hideously unpopular atrocity.

Someone suggested we call these attacks on civilians "Kavanaugh stops." Because after a brief questioning you're free to go, right?

Trump: "There could be firings & that's their fault, & there could also be other things. We could cut projects that they wanted, favorite projects, & they'd be permanently cut. A lot of people are saying I wanted this. I didn't want it. But a lot of people are saying it bc I'm allowed to cut things"

Let’s open our eyes. This isn’t a functioning democracy any longer when - in the middle of a high stakes funding fight - the President illegally suspends federal projects in states run by Democrats as a way to punish the political opposition.

From 1939-1945 German officers also listened to speeches from civilians about how the laws of war didn’t apply to them. And then they participated in the Holocaust, starved millions of prisoners of war, destroyed villages and cities, and were defeated.

No more delays, Speaker Johnson. Administer the oath of office to Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva so she can get to work for Southern Arizona.

What Kori said

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate. Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

Hey guys heads up – Republicans are repeating the same braindead lie about health care for undocumented immigrants to try and distract from their open efforts to spike your premiums.

These lies are pissing me off. This isn’t about health care for undocumented immigrants – that’s already against the law. It’s about the fact that Republicans are intentionally skyrocketing your premiums.

All blue states. What a surprise. I guess all we can do is vote out every single Republican candidate for every office in those states since none of them will speak up or do anything. And the Appropriations Chair Susan Collins.

Swear her in.

COLLINS: Why do you think Trump didn't mean that? He referred very specific cities MIKE TURNER: He doesn't mean it in the manner you said it COLLINS: I was just quoting him

Trump/Hegseth/Miller think our forces will use Chicago or Portland as practice for going into a city like Fallujah? That is horrific and idiotic at the same time, the Brass know they’re idiots Trump Gave the Military’s Brass a Rehashed Speech. Until Minute 44. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/30/u...

Gallego: "The president is an idiot. He doesn't actually understand how the military works."

Mikie Sherrill: "There's no mistake that was made here. This was intentional ... there's really no doubt in my mind that this was fully intentional from the Trump administration to the Ciattarelli campaign to attempt to do this."

Legendary, veteran prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, known for targeting Osama bin Laden and bringing down the Illinois mob, is coming out of retirement to defend former FBI director James Comey.

"FEMA officials arrived to go door-to-door to help residents apply for federal funds. But then they stopped as the administration canceled the door-to-door program. FEMA closed disaster-recovery facilities where residents could apply for financial assistance last week." www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

Monopoly and totalitarianism go hand in hand. The only way to stop the growing censorship of Trump's critics is to fight the consolidation of media outlets into the hands of a few families that do not care about the best interests of the country.

The Administration’s theory: Foreign drug companies will cut prices if Americans can buy elsewhere. The flaw: For patented drugs, there's no competition and demand is inelastic. That’s the textbook case where buyers—American patients and insurers—eat the cost.

McCabe: "When Trump started having his first interactions w/ Comey, we were almost naive in thinking, 'Is this president actually trying to influence our investigative decision making?' We didn't want to believe it ... fast forward to today. Those requests are happening on social media."

Trying to help get the word out

The Trump administration's illegal leak of my records — including my Social Security Number — to Jack’s campaign isn't just about me. It's about any veteran who's considering standing up, and the chilling effect this will have.

If there’s one thing you do today, listen to Andy McCarthy who made clear that there is no case against Comey. It’s not surprising Halligan had to present the case to the grand jury herself.

www.kgun9.com/news/local-n... She won by over 60% of the Vote But Speaker Johnson is delaying her swearing in Now possibly not till October 7th Or even October 14th when the election is certified by the State of Arizona Take a moment to listen They are desperate not to release the files

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

Jeffries: "Here's what DHS has done. DHS put out a hit list directed at Democratic members of Congress, Dem governors, and Dem officials. It's a hit list saying to crazies all across the country 'target these people.' So no, we're not gonna be lectured by DHS. Take your hit list down."

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Crockett on Homan: For instance, when you are talking about solicitation, and it has to do with, say, prostitution, it's not a matter of whether or not the prostitution took place. The solicitation is complete. Once you actually engage in the agreement, that is enough for solicitation.

This should be getting a lot more attention. And no journalist should sign it. "The idea that a member of the Pentagon press corps or a reporter writ large can only write what the government tells them to, that's not how it works in the United States of America." www.rawstory.com/pentagon-267...

He betrayed his oath as a physician and sold out the country when he voted to confirm RFK Jr, knows damn well he’s a dangerous quack, but keeping Trump neutral in his primary is his highest priority.
