Masked, heavily armed federal immigration agents arrested a US citizen in the parking lot of a Los Angeles Home Depot store, then entered his car and drove away with his toddler, who is also a US citizen, in the backseat. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

All jokes aside, what an absolute farce and waste of taxpayer money. Even if the sandwich HAD “exploded” against the agent’s bulletproof vest, ask any Uvalde parent of the 21 elementary school shooting victims *without vests* if a sandwich compares to high velocity rifle rounds. Pirro. 😡

Child-Rapist Trump is patting himself on the back for bringing energy prices down. So why does our Bill keep going up? Because he's a liar. If you are the one paying the energy bill you know he's a big fat liar. It's so ridiculous.

The video shows an Oak Brook police officer handcuffing and placing the ICE agent under arrest after he refused to undergo a breath analysis, telling police, “I’m not going to do that.”

Sandwich man leaving court

What a sociopath does when another human being collapses in the room and so rudely interrupts his gloating:

By resisting surveillance and extraction and pursuing goals such as affordability, dignity, and justice, New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani can show how technology can truly serve the people, writes Rebecca Williams. The first step, she says, is to protect immigrants.

Let’s normalize this. #EatTheRich

Sean Dunn, the Sandwich Guy, found NOT guilty for throwing his subway hero at officers. Congratulations, Sean! 🐸 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

"It’s likely that SNAP recipients are hungry as we sit here," McConnell says. He also says Trump and his allies have admitted to withholding SNAP benefits for "political reasons" rather than to preserve child nutrition programs, which the judge said was a pretext."

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

McCONNELL said Trump's Truth Social post was essentially an admission of his "intent to defy the court order when he said 'SNAP payments will be given only when the government opens.' As a result "people will go hungry, food pantries will be burdened and … suffering will occur."

New: Conde Nast fired four employees who were among a group that confronted the company's head of human resources on Wednesday over the decision to fold Teen Vogue into Vogue/recent cuts. Employees who were fired included journalists from the New Yorker, Wired, and Bon Appétit.

A hearing has begun over the enforcement of a federal judge's order to fund SNAP benefits through November. Plaintiffs say Trump is holding "full SNAP benefits hostage for political leverage during the shutdown." Coverage ahead www.allrisenews.com/p/snap-judgm...

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump administration "did not comply" with his order.

As my general two cents: don't cancel your WIRED subscriptions. Best culture, best newsroom of anywhere I've worked. I love the living shit out of these folks, and they don't deserve to be negatively impacted by a decision that was made by the parent company, not them. And it's only $2 a month.

The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

This is a really hard day and I want to just add as WIRED's politics editor -- WIRED's politics reporting isn't going anywhere. We are very much here and won't stop. Please continue to read and support us - canceling your subscription to WIRED is not standing in solidarity with our journalists.

@atrupar.com really burying the chancery-lede here that he literally asked them hot in the oval about "what's up with this little bidding war" omg

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time. Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

Trump lies shamelessly: "Every price is down."

A Russian Ilyushin Il-76MD military transport aircraft, used to move troops and munitions, including warheads, landed in Venezuela today. The motherfucker is going to start WWIII.

Did I announce “WE GOT A FIRST TIME VOTER HERE!” as I walked into the polling place with my 18yo daughter, prompting a roomful of election workers to clap and cheer?

Trump’s ingenious plan to make things more affordable for us is to slap tariffs on a large percentage of things we buy each month, while deporting a big chunk of the labor pool that produces our food supply. We really don’t appreciate this man enough.

NEW: Aurora City Councilwoman Danielle Jurinsky has conceded. A stunning defeat for a MAGA media fixture who built a national profile on claims of a "complete gang takeover" of Aurora that led President Trump to visit and falsely proclaim the city "conquered" by an immigrant gang

Can we set aside that crisis of young men being driven to the Right? From NBC’s exit polling for young men 18-29: VA: Spanberger +14 NJ: Sherrill: +10 NYC: Mamdani +40

Fox Propaganda has gone Full George Orwell to cope with last night's ferocious rebuke to Republicans and, especially, Trump.

Newsom’s social media team is on a level we’ve never seen before

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand. For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power. Let’s change that. One election at a time.

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

A baby in the car😡‼️ And the Father is an American citizen ‼️ THIS has to STOP‼️😡

Beware people trying to minimize Mamdani's win by comparing his number to other democrats in other races. Those other democrats didn't run a three-way race with two democrats and a republican. Getting more than 50% in a three way race is a DECISIVE win. Folks saying otherwise are just mad

“It’s completely illegal and unconstitutional, but the clean up will be too yucky” is the most ridiculous argument for capitulating to this malevolent bastard, but I think you’ve gotten a glimpse of their cowardly out.

Barrett asks Katyal "if you win," how would the tariff reimbursements work? "Would this be a complete mess?" Katyal responds that the question underlines why this is a major question.

I'm sorry, but when you lose by 13 points, contesting the election is not really an option. Republicans spent yesterday spreading lies about the election. We will see more of it in the days and weeks ahead as the margin of victory fades from our memory. 2026 will be a real test of our democracy.

No fewer than 28 billionaires donated at least 100k to beat Zohran Mamdani. Their overt attempt to buy the election provided Mamdani with perfect talking points. From @ryanlcooper.com: trib.al/LEnjMCa

These disturbing videos show officers acting reprehensibly. We must prosecute every officer involved. I suspect most of these idiots will flee the country, becoming immigrants themselves. May be treated accordingly. 🙏

Federal agents pulling a woman out of Rayito Del Sol, a daycare by Lane Tech high school

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I'm Jewish, I was born in New York City. My grandparents were immigrants from Europe. My grandfather opened a kosher dairy restaurant in lower Manhattan. Jonathan Greenblatt from the ADL is a bigot who doesn't speak for me. Congratulations, Mayor Mamdani!

Last night's elections help explain the enormous, enthusiastic turnout at "No Kings" to denounce the direction Trump is taking the United States. Americans have had enough.

For those who don’t know, Lina Khan gave tech bros hell AND her ass to kiss when she was FTC chair. She was busting monopolies left and right. Gave Amazon and Meta the finger too. This is an EXCELLENT addition to his team.

Sotomayor notes accurately that no president has ever used IEEPA to justify tariffs. Sauer responds with Nixon's action, which predated IEEPA's existence.
