Good to see this letter from House ranking members on the nat'l security committees asking for the administration's list of "designated terrorist organizations" and the OLC legal memo blessing lethal strikes in the Caribbean. Executive branch has issued itself a license to kill secret enemies.

@whitehouse.senate.gov has her number.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

A major immigration raid in Chicago last week led to dozens of arrests, including of green card holders and U.S. citizens. While the Trump administration has released a highly produced video of the raid, it still has not answered basic questions about the operation.

This strikes me as pretty bad

Well that's not how appropriations work at all *WHITE HOUSE TO TRANSFER TARIFF REVENUE TO FUND WIC: LEAVITT

These two grafs from @elienyc.bsky.social. Woof. www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Weird how all these ICE agents cosplaying Tier One operators have yet to enter a known violent gang area to make arrests.

Not sure people realize how INSANELY DRAINING data centers will be on our planet. If you imagine data centers as their own country, they'll rank fourth in global electricity use by 2035 — outranked only by China, India, and the U.S. Read this in @bloomberg.com👇 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

Ohh www.propublica.org/article/elon...

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

It’s boiling in October because you’re using ChatGPT to write your emails, Janice.

"We are facing a clear and present authoritarian danger. In these circumstances, can Democrats in Congress continue to take the position that their demand from the Trump administration is simply to restore health care funding? I don’t think so." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-rule-o...

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

Black people in Chicago had their apartment building raided in the middle of the night, were detained for hours, and had their Fourth Amendment rights violated during an ICE operation that had nothing to do with them. Nah, they are not thrilled.

We are deeply alarmed by reports that the government is rolling out a plan to attempt to incentivize unaccompanied children to waive their rights under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) and accept "voluntary" return to their country of origin in exchange for $2500.

I truly don't understand what people thought was going to happen

Developing: Trump considering $10 billion bailout for farmers he singularly drove into poverty by taking away their biggest customers and markets. No hyperbole here. He started the fire and now he’s giving them a cup of water to put it out. And of course, he expects them to thank him for it.

This is fucking vile beyond words...

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods? We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

Anyone who is familiar with the Portland Police Bureau would be surprised to learn that Portland cops are woke antifa marxists. More emblematic of PPB has been their senior guy (and high school classmate of mine) Krueger who built a shrine to Nazi SS officers www.oregonlive.com/portland/201...

Now Mike Johnson is saying if 4 Democrats would vote with Republicans to not release the Epstein files they would end the government shutdown TODAY! It's not about healthcare for the GOP it's ALL ABOUT NOT RELEASING THE EPSTEIN FILES! That's also why they are refusing to swear in new Democrats!

Trump’s treatment of immigrants is cruel, inhumane and unacceptable. And as they pump money into ICE and for-profit detention centers it will only get worse. www.thebulwark.com/p/the-moral-...

An 84-year-old said she sustained a concussion and was hit with a projectile after she and her husband, a Vietnam vet, were knocked down by federal officers.

Honestly in some ways this is the epitome of this administration. This is a government of podcasters and TV presenters led by a reality TV star who doesn't actually want to govern, he just wants to create *content*

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

BLACK LIVES STILL MATTER! IT’S TIME TO STAND UP AGAINST THIS FASCIST REGIME & IT’S FASCIST POLICE STATE. ICE HAS STARTED VEERING OFF FROM IMMIGRANTS TO BLACK CITIZENS IN CHICAGO. WHO’S NEXT??

What are you doing to *hold them accountable* though?????

Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes' office has released video of federal agents handcuffing her at Humboldt Park Health, as she asked them to present a judicial warrant for another arrest.

EPSTEIN FILES: @aoc.bsky.social explains why Republicans won’t bring the U.S. House back into session 👇

Good to see resolve/resilience from rank and file and House Democrats. Good on @rephuffman.bsky.social daring the republicans to abolish the filibuster ▶️ "[L]et them proceed with GOP votes and let the country see with perfect clarity who owns all the damage and destruction they're fomenting." (1/2)

This was taken two nights ago outside Portland’s ICE facility. According to the Trump administration a guy in a chicken suit counts as a reign of terror.

I cannot emphasize enough that this administration shouldn’t get 𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘴𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘦 𝘷𝘰𝘵𝘦 from the Dems until they start obeying the law. Not. One. Optics matter: if you want people to turn out next election despite troops in the streets, then show them it matters. Do your goddamn jobs and hold the line.

Read this, and more importantly the full post linked in the comments.

it fundamentally fucks our sense of things that the robot is good at language and bad at math and fact

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

Essential personnel: ICE agents arresting and jailing people Non-essential personnel: Government lawyers giving the detained people due process

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

Six Democratic senators on the Senate Judiciary Committee (Durbin, Schiff, Whitehouse, Klobuchar, Coons, and Welch) voted yes on two Trump district court nominees this morning, and my question remains, why do senior members of this party keep voluntarily ceding political capital to Donald Trump

I don't see where you can still "avoid" a civ-mil crisis when the military is already obeying illegal orders and the National Guard is being deployed against governors' will Apparently, it's only a crisis when military leaders publicly voice dissent www.foreignaffairs.com/us-militarys... #CivMilSky
