Gosh, why and how could that be? Such an enigma!

Tax the rich. Tax the rich. Tax the rich.

NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find: - NONE of the arrested were criminally charged - NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists." - ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

They work for us. We’ve been clear we don’t want their leader to lead us. It’s just another slap in the face to leave him there. They don’t hear us!!

I am kind of sitting here mouth agape as I realize that the thing that really got eight Democrats to cave was a provision which provides backdoor criminal and civil immunity to them personally by making it functionally impossible to ever investigate the Senate

This is exactly correct.

I have to hand it to Democrats. I'm one of the feds working and not getting paid and they manage to make reopening the government feel worse than the alternative. Like, why did I miss 2.5 paychecks to end up right back where we were before the shutdown started?

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Thank you to Senator Ron Wyden for letting us know the MAGA Senate Republicans are trying to slide a nationwide abortion ban into the shutdown negotiations. Hell no! They want to control every part of women’s lives and we aren’t having it. F the patriarchy.

Alex Karp and Peter Thiel are two of the worst people on this planet running one of the most evil companies to ever exist—we should do whatever we can to make Palantir go bankrupt.

ICYMI

What's particularly chilling about this is the implication that the ICE agents see their role as a politicized one - they're not enforcing laws - they're pushing their political party's views. No professional law enforcement agency should operate this way.

Important lesson Post 2024 polls show Harris campaigning with Cheney decreased enthusiasm by 7% Post 2025 polls show Mamdani running as unapologetic progressive earned him 9% of MAGA 2024 voters Corporate Dems: You dont flip votes by compromising your values—but by unapologetically embracing them

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

apnews.com/article/snap... Federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the Trump administration Thursday to find the money to fully fund SNAP benefits for November. Ruling by U.S. District Judge gave Trump’s administration until Friday to make the payments.

This isn’t politics anymore. It’s moral collapse. A baby. One year old. Still in her car seat. Watching as men with guns drag her father away. And then those same men climb into the car and drive off with her still inside. That’s not “law enforcement.” That’s state-sanctioned terror.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

We knew it would happen like this: Self-assigned armed brutes, satisfying their violent urges: “Criminals posing as US immigration officers have carried out robberies, kidnappings, and sexual assaults in several states, warns a law enforcement bulletin… by the FBI.” www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.” Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

I’m going straight to hell I can’t stop laughing 😂😂

They are not "ignoring" a court order. They are DEFYING IT.

Vanishing people from records is part of the protocol used by death squads and the worst South American dictatorships.

ONG

All the billionaires, celebrities and corporate leaders calling out the GOP regime for intentionally starving Americans on SNAP while pledging their enormous donations to food banks across the country.

Kash Patel in 2023: “I’m just saying Chris Wray doesn’t need a government funded G5 jet to go to vacations. Maybe we ground that plane. $15,000 every time it takes off. Just a thought.”

I think one of the saddest things about being a millennial is remembering a time when technology was advancing in a way that made life better and easier and more exciting instead of actively, intentionally worse

Turns out the sweetheart deal that Trump's former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta gave Epstein back in 2008 was even worse than we thought. Epstein's emails show Acosta tanked an investigation that had Epstein dead to rights on money laundering, and other financial crimes.

The Governor of Tennessee y’all. Won’t spend a penny of our $2 billion rainy day fund to feed children, but will take a taxpayer-funded trip to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan because “TN is such a great place to invest” 🫠

On Thursday (10/23), as I was walking back to the office with my lunch I stopped to heckle a crowd of National Guard and federal agents. I was then tackled to the ground, slammed against a squad car, arrested and held in a cell for several hours.

Congressional candidate @katmabu.bsky.social, who was indicted today for protesting outside the Broadview ICE facility: "We've been punched, dragged, thrown, shot with pepper balls, tear gassed, rubber bullets from snipers on roofs going into local businesses windows."

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

INBOX: TN5 candidate Columbia mayor @chazmolder’s statement after Pinocchiogles Andy Ogles called him a “Marxist” (as Andy tries to deport Zohran): “I’m running to make people’s lives more affordable, Andy’s running to stay out of jail. I’m not concerned with his name calling.”
