Bingo. As soon as I heard Homeland was claiming they were after "Tren de Aragua", I said, "Hold on, that's a landlord scam, who owns that building? Who might want all the tenants out?" Racism in the service of crony capitalism.

southsideweekly.com/federal-agen... The building is in a 27 million dollar foreclosure filed by Wells Fargo. The next day, Wells Fargo filed an emergency motion for receivership. The fascist regime kindly emptied the building for donor Wells Fargo.

🤯OMG… If you’ve been following the raid on that apartment building in Chicago — the one where children were taken out naked in the middle of the night — the details about how and why it happened just keep getting worse...

If you don't have to fly to or in the US right now, don't. "Delays spread to major airports across the country, as the seventh day of government shutdown impacts travelers" www.cnn.com/2025/10/07/u...

how dare you take bribes, pammy jo!

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month. Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?” BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡 (That’s a yes)

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

When people are hired, not for their honesty or competency, but for their ability to be snarling trolls on TV for the delight of their immature and unpleasant boss, you get an AG like Pamela Jo Bondi.

chomp chomp

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

this could be you

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him. Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

This strikes me as pretty bad

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation. Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

this is an SNL skit.

Jeffries: "Johnson has to actually answer that Q as to why Republicans have refused to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva. Why?... when it comes to enacting tax breaks for Republican donors, they race to do it...she will be the 218th signature on a petition to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files"

what a bint

Blumenthal to Bondi: "He has been transparent. In fact, 5 days before the indictment of Comey, he put this post up as instructions to you. He didn't mince words. He was very open & public that you should indict Comey and&others because they are 'guilty as hell, no more delay, now.' 5 days before"

Most Americans think Jan. 6 was quite bad; unfortunately that group does not include the president, the top federal law enforcement officials, virtually all GOP politicians, and the media megaphone supporting them all. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/why...

There was a time when I thought Bill Barr was as bad as they could get. Then Pam Bondi speaks.

Where's the moolah Pam?

Grassley: “Using the power of government to go after people that are political people, you don't like. We're pointing this all out because we can't have this repeated in the United States. We want an end to it right now.”

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

At Attorney General Pam Bondi’s request, Big Tech is blocking communities from crowdsharing information about ICE raids. www.levernews.com/big-tech-doe...

What's happening in Chicago is not normal. The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.

I posted this one week after the election in 2024. Holds up.

“No one man can terrorize a whole nation, unless we are all his accomplices.” -Edward R. Murrow

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Journalist Edward R. Murrow used his platform on CBS to criticize the witch hunts led by Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s. This is what real journalism should do — hold power to account, not capitulate to it.

Immigration sought to deport 88-year-old. But he already died

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

We covered this on today's @dailybeanspod.com. Extremely dangerous and these ICE agents should be charged with felonies.

Back in the land of reality, here's what one of the Black people whose home was smashed into during the apartment raid last week said about his Venezuelan neighbors: "They were cool people." Mr. Jones, a U.S. citizen, was dragged out in handcuffs and held outside for hours.
