Womp womp. Maybe Donnie will try extorting Meryl Streep for one of her Oscars next. www.nobelpeaceprize.org/press/press-...

at some point we're gonna have to have a real conversation about why we're still paying federal taxes to a regime that isn't using them to help anyone, but instead is using them to brutalize us

The Department of Justice's effort to gain access to you sensitive personal information continues. DOJ wants this data to be able to suppress the vote and subvert election results next Fall. They are suing 24 states to gain access. My law firm and I are fighting them in court in every one of them.

Read this. Then read it again.

BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families. The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

"Anyone wanna explain why Trump is murdering people on the high seas because they're alleged 'drug dealers' but then pardoning convicted drug dealers at home?" – @KellyScaletta

POLITICO: “Leaders of Young Republican groups worried if their Telegram chat got leaked, but kept typing… referred to Black people as monkeys, mused about putting political opponents in gas chambers... lauded Republicans they believed support slavery…” www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

“Surveillance video shows federal #ICE agents body slamming 79-year-old US citizen Rafie Shouhed to the ground just outside of his car wash … Shouhed suffered multiple broken ribs, brain damage and deep bruising to his arms.” Now he's suing for $50 million. #AbolishICE abc7.com/post/van-nuy...

Yessss!! I'm sick of his daily personal grievances being aired. Somebody needs to give the man some duct tape, a hug-me jacket and a padded cell. America's sanity needs to be restored.

ICE attempted and failed to disappear a food delivery guy. It needed to be scored.

California made history in 2025. 🌞⚡ Solar is now the state’s #1 electricity source, overtaking gas (83.1 vs 81.6 TWh). In under a decade, solar surged from marginal to dominant. Big kudos to California—proof the clean energy future is not capacity, it’s generation. More to come! #EnergyTransition

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.

It doesn’t get talked about enough that our military rigorously trains people to be ruthless killing machines, subjects them to intensely traumatic situations, and then sends them out into our communities with no therapy or support. It’s astonishing more vets don’t explode into violence like this.

Also, boycott #ICE profiteers and deportation barons, from Thiel’s Palantir to Bezos’s #Amazon, GEO Group, Avelo Airlines, from B of A to AT&T. Resources for further research into other ICE profiteers, including those with a presence in your own area. #NoKings❌👑 littlesis.org/news/the-bil...

Friends — Something happened this week. I don't know if you heard it, but I sure did. I believe that America's Sleeping Giant is beginning to awaken. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-sleeping-giant-is-awakening

Jeff Bezos was worth $194 billion at the end of 2024. He’s currently worth $231.5 billion as of today. It would take him just 17 days to see his net worth increase by $2.5 billion. https://www.reuters.com/world/amazon-pay-25-billion-settle-prime-deception-allegations-2025-09-25/

Harry Enten: "The more RFK Jr is trying to implement his policies, the further down his net approval rating goes. And at this particular point, 21 points underwater is not a place you want to be."

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

Make Corruption a Crime Again!

Why Won’t Farmers Rebel Against Trumponomics? Because They’re Rich. The majority of “family farmers” aren’t working-class strivers. They’re affluent, politically connected businessmen who know when their next bailout is coming.

Not so fun fact I learned today, NexStar owns The Hill. They bought them in 2021 and we have seen how their reporting and lurched to the right over the last few years. #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue thehill.com

Is anyone following this story? No one can find these people, including their families. They are no longer in the ICE databases. @maddow.msnbc.com @jenpsaki.msnbc.com @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com @michaelsteele.bsky.social @nicollewallace.bsky.social

If the GOP want to continue down their current path (Deport Omar! Deport Mamdani!), then Dems need to start calling for the denaturalization & deportation of Melania, fight fire with fire - plus there are far more unanswered questions about her immigration to the US than either Mamdani or Omar.

The Supreme Court’s recent spate of reactionary rulings is a return to the historical norm, writes Richard Kreitner in this excerpt of "The Nine Have Spoken." Proposing ideas for overhauling the court should not be considered particularly radical.

From the failure to prosecute, to the political appointment, to the lack of remorse, and to the current failure to disclose the Epstein files—screams cover-up. We won’t stop until we uncover the truth.

Over 20 years, Peter Thiel quietly turned his Roth IRA into a gargantuan tax-exempt piggy bank. Using stock deals unavailable to most people, the billionaire took a retirement account worth less than $2,000 in 1999 and spun it into a $5 billion windfall. (Published 2021)

Have you watched Webb’s interview? She goes over her two part book called One Nation Under Blackmail. It’s fairly long but really accurate. I like Whitney, she fills in the blanks.

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

OBAMA: Sir, I’m not the President of the United States, currently. So, there’s no point in shouting at me. I’m not in charge of foreign policy currently.

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

Jarvis: I'm paying for them with my tax dollars. They're doing things in my name as a citizen. They're doing it with a mask, never saying their name, never showing a warrant, never giving a badge number, never giving me any sense of who they are. They are masked mobs going after people
