One more time, for good measure. bsky.app/profile/pawb...

While everyone sitting in Congress still collects their checks‼️

Good morning everyone Shout Out to Virginia Early Voting NOW VOTE ABIGAIL SPANBERGER FOR GOVERNOR Go to elections.virginia.gov REDRAW THE MAPS

Another case bites the dust! Prosecutors found that James allowed a niece to live in the house rent-free in 2020. She only reported collecting $1,350 in rent money to cover utilities on her tax return. The small sum undercuts the DOJ theory that she was using it as an investment property.

Chicago City Council member searching for agents on bike during school pick-up: "We are gonna have to be as relentless as ICE"

Smart appliances aren't smart. They're skeevy little rats telling your secrets to giant corporations who sell your life to other giant corporations because they can. Your Roomba and Alexa are basically creepy stalkers. Don't let them into your home.

Love @jollygoodginger.bsky.social and the Chicago mayor for their stance of the ridiculous term illegal aliens. Remember entering the country illegally is only a civil matter.

Day # 279 Our Shared Humanity Discrimination in the GO☭ workplace! Not a shocker. Time for a new Copernicus Moment. Maybe a Hippocrates moment? To realize intersex: natural creation & part of a continuum of sexuality? Time to ⬇️ discrimination against science! www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Young and healthy people who get Affordable Care Act health insurance are thinking about dropping coverage next year, as the government remains shutdown over health care tax credits.

🧵 Pop quiz: Who said these things about Trump? 🧵 1. “America’s Hitler.” 2. “Lacks the character and moral center we desperately need.” 3. “A race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot.” 4. “Con artist.” 5. “Insulting to women.” 6. “Inexcusable.” 7. “Pathological liar.”

Rubio took Russian mafia blood money.

Wait! They tore down the East Wing even though plans for the new ballroom haven’t been approved yet? Why the rush?

As a former performing arts (percussionist) nerd, I can assure you this is every musician’s WORST nightmare. Conductor begins a DIFFERENT piece than what pianist prepared—so pianist didn’t have sheet music in front of her; she (rightfully) FREAKS out, tells conductor—but he believes in her‼️ Watch..

As Governor, I fought to defend and expand reproductive rights in Maine. My Republican opponent can't say the same. She cast the pivotal vote for Brett Kavanaugh who brought down Roe v. Wade.

Want to see how far right the Republican Party has gone? Watch George H. W. Bush and Ronald Reagan answer a question about illegal immigration during a 1980 debate. They wouldn’t even be allowed in today’s Republican Party.

File this under “ideas @gregolear.bsky.social has that sound great in theory but will never happen IRL.” This plan is not perfect. But it’s a plan that would work, under current U.S. law. Interesting read. open.substack.com/pub/gregolea...

👺When you steal $40b from USA farmers, as 42M Americans can’t eat, drink, sleep safely🇺🇸😢

A U.S. citizen and student was violently detained by ICE near the school in Chicago They want community members too afraid to resist out of fear that they might be next. As ICE occupations worsen, communities have proven to be a lynchpin to resisting ICE. We must build up community solidarity.

Following the publication of my story, defense counsel for Letitia James filed a motion alleging that Halligan violated multiple legal and ethical rules governing the conduct of prosecutors. They want the government to maintain a log of its media contacts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

From @stevanzetti.bsky.social: In February, the Texas Observer confirmed that James “Jim” Joseph Rodden—an ICE assistant chief counsel in Dallas—operates a white supremacist X account. Now, ICE refuses to tell us, or members of Congress, if he's still employed.

My statement on Governor Youngkin declaring a State of Emergency over Donald Trump's SNAP cuts.

Not surprisingly, most of the U.S. tariffs are being paid by American companies and consumers — NOT by foreign exporters.

Ontario Premier Doug Ford and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are raising the stakes of this year’s World Series.

I hope it eats at all these ICE scumbag's souls how much they are hated by everyone.

Donald Trump is “making fun of people for being Hispanic or dark-skinned or different colors,” says 10 year old, August. "Why is he talking to other people if he's orange?!” Hear from the kids at the No Kings protests—and from the parents who decided to bring them.

Tear gassing random residential streets is just absolutely psychotic behavior.

They thought they could silence us. We had a surprise for them: www.digitaldrumbeat.com/p/how-americ...

Now THIS is a mission the National Guard can be proud of. 🙌 Via @voteinorout.bsky.social

Calling Nancy Mace and MTG!!! Y'all went after Hunter Biden for at least 4 years. Hunter took zero money from the government. Investigate Donny Jr and force him to testify. Show all his strung out on drugs photos and everything he's ever done in his life that is corrupt and illegal.

Residents of Lakeview, Chicago drove ICE out—literally. When agents tear-gassed a lunch-hour worksite near Wrigley Field, neighbors poured into the street, filming, blowing whistles, and shouting them off the block. Community > cruelty.💪

Not often you’ll here this from this account, but: listen to President Reagan on how disastrous high tariffs are for this country!

For example: The people of Little Village showed the nation what courage looks like: standing unarmed, united, & unafraid in the face of ICE’s tear gas & violence. They protected their neighbors, not with weapons, but with peaceful & fierce solidarity.

COLOR ME SHOCKED: Jon Sheptock, a Christian musician and former worship minister at a Texas Baptist Church, was arrested in late September on charges of possession and production of child pornography.

Everyone’s talking about Steve Bannon saying Trump will be president in 2028. But here’s the point most are missing: He’s openly floating treason and civil war. “Seizing institutions and purging them.” Isn’t rhetoric, it’s a test to see how far Trump’s followers will go. 1/2

Never in my life did I think I would see this from a mayor to police: “We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different….”

When the ICE agent is Canadian… 🇨🇦 😍😂

Manufactured crisis. Why am I not surprised?

Farmers are destroying crops they can't sell due to trump's policies & tariffs while federal workers line up at food banks & SNAP gets cut. We have food rotting in fields & people going hungry, not because of scarcity, but because of trump's policies. He is trying to starve us into submission.

People are being detained and deported during immigration court processes, citizens are being detained, random boaters are getting drone strikes, some secret person is paying the military, Trump is enriching himself countless ways, there's a pardon casino, J6 was effectively erased. Need I go on?

Just for the record, in 2020: - Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey - Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes - Garland was an appeals court judge - Monaco was in private practice in LA There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise. He crazy.

This is real. Ross Douthat begins by attacking Obama for his Chicago presidential center and then waves away concerns about historical preservation and the absence of input for the White House ballroom project by using an “abundance liberalism” argument about permitting processes being restrictive.
