I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Hey ChatGPT: Please generate an image of a man thoroughly devoid of any and all human empathy.

Federal agents’ use of force amid the aggressive deportation campaign in Chicago “shocks the conscience,” and the Trump administration “lacks credibility.” That’s what a judge found Thursday in a crucial new ruling: chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

all you really need to know that andrews is an idiot is that she is an unrepentant white supremacist but if you needed any more evidence you could just listen to her attempt to reason

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

Why does this column exist?

I'm genuinely befuddled that a man as genuinely ugly inside and out as Ross Douthat and who hates women because of it is allowed a @nytimes.com platform to amplify his misogyny.

“.. in a group Signal chat, .. he wrote in part: ‘I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book boys.’” @reuters.com #Chicago www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

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?

Anyone want to ask Lauren Boebert about what the children at a Chicago daycare saw today?

The word "evil" is often overused to describe people with whom we disagree. But I can find no other word to describe ICE agents seizing a day care teacher in front of young children. At an age when teachers are beloved, they will be traumatized by this - and lose trust in adults. Evil.

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

"Democracy is centered on diversity." THANK YOU.

We’re thrilled for our upcoming Reproductive Herstory event in Boulder! Listen to the KGNU Interview Here: kgnu.org/cobalt-bring...

Right — I thought from the first photos that the image included text-recognition artifacts, but no: that's just what's on an exterior wall of the White House. Paper. Scotch tape and paper. Is grandpa doing alright?

What's happening in TX-18 is more obscene than not seating Grijalva during pro formas. Turner died in March. Abbott delayed the special election until yesterday, and now it goes to a runoff early *next year.* Congress can and should require special elections to be held within 90 days of a vacancy.

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

Terror at a Chicago daycare facility: "The agents had followed the woman as she parked and chased her inside the daycare and preschool." “It’s some of the most chilling video footage I have ever seen" said one local elected official. blockclubchicago.org/2025/11/05/d...

While the government prosecutes this case “in some purported effort to keep law enforcement safe and free from food fights,” CBP employees “are joking about it.” The gov, she says, is trying to turn a “gag-gift worthy moment into a federal criminal offense. We ask you not to allow them to do that.”

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

Assault now. Injury, government says, isn’t the layman’s definition but the legal one. “Hit with a sandwich. Having a sandwich spiked on your chest. Is that offensive to a person of reasonable sensibilities? Certainly. We have an assault.”

We have reached the moment the footlong was flung. “He spikes it, throws it like a baseball.” It strikes Agent Lairmore in the chest — “he says he could feel it.” Government acknowledges prosecution is not alleging he needed medical treatment.

Not top of ticket, but Regina Maestri, who repeatedly attempted municipal abortion bans in Pueblo, has lost her race for an at-large seat on Pueblo City Council. #copolitics

A damn daycare. This is sick. What are we doing?

Gee, two women women win in landslides and it's trivial but a man wins and it's important. When I talk about entrenched sexism in the pundit corps, this is what I mean. Men ALWAYS have more validity.

I would like some thinkpieces on why young women voters are rejecting Trump and the Republican Party.

i closed out my column this week with this preemptive jab at basically every commentator currently looking for ways to say that last night didn’t count

WOW. 81% of women 18-29 voted for Mamdani, 80% for Sherril, and 78% for Spanberger. Gen Z women aren't playing around.

Even SCOTUS Justices notice political winds.

I am taking particular pleasure in the complete collapse of trans-as-unbeatable-wedge-issue narrative this morning. It might be an 80-20 issue in voters minds, but it has to be on voters minds to matter. The results in VA demonstrate that it is very much not on voters minds.

Turns out us educated liberal big city US folks knew something about how heartbreaking it was for Americans to witness Trump demolishing the White House. It's not 'aesthetics'. It's the People's House and the people said no.

real sense in which last night was fairly predictable. real question is why our pundits and the elites who listen to them couldn’t see it. (gift link)

Lot of people were dunking on this but my read was even in Kentucky people were eager to vent their frustration against the orange menace. This is a good thing.

*whispers* you can continue to read me, the pundit who insisted the other pundits were wrong about these conclusions

NEW: Mississippi Democrats broke the Republican Party's supermajority in the state Senate tonight for the first time since 2011. It came as Democrats flipped 2 Senate seats and 1 House seat. “Mississippi just broke the supermajority—and the people have taken back their power,” the party says.

Errrbody can shut up about running 'pro-life Democrats' now.

His puffer vest just deflated

I do think yesterday’s results reinforced the dynamic that while much of the American leadership class is chickenshit, most of the electorate is not

There’s no reason ever again for any Democrat to suggest moderating on trans rights. There was never a moral reason but now there’s no political reason either. Somebody tell Gavin Newsom and Pete Buttigieg. it’s joe-ver.

Not top of the ticket but my friend AnnMarie Jensen is leading in her race for Lafayette City Council in Boulder County :)

virginia democrats winning the three big offices with a cia agent, an indian muslim immigrant, and a black lawyer who loves committing terms of service violations is real 2025 democratic party moment

BREAKING: Democrats just broke the GOP supermajority in the Mississippi Senate! In a stunning victory, Democrats gained seats in court-ordered special elections and will now head to Jackson to represent and fight on behalf of their constituents.

BREAKING: Theresa Gillespie Isom just FLIPPED Mississippi’s SD-2! A former nurse and educator, she’s ready to use her experience to further serve her community and will be a passionate voice in Jackson for progress and opportunity for all.

Colorado's shock of the night if this holds, but Republican firebrand Danielle Jurinsky narrowly trails in her Aurora City Council re-elect bid. Jurinsky built a national profile on immigration via Fox News and the Trump campaign, but she trails two Dems in a pick-two race. #copolitics
