Epic Freudian slip "We fought the Nazis, we defended that evil ideology" -Mike Johnson

Extremely excited about this series TPM is doing in concert with our 25th Anniversary, reflecting on 25 years of digital journalism .. the good, the bad, the awful, and where we are now. Our first two essays are out. We’ll be publishing 25 over the next month.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

U.S. AG Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”. Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade!

The suit was primarily brought by journalists who allege they have been targeted by federal agents, but the list of plaintiffs also included the Rev. David Black, a Chicago-area Presbyterian minister.

now that django's gone david rose has moved on to taking care of shotzie.

Nope. Nope. Nope. Not cool. Not here. Not ever. We will keep working with real translators and narrators (and artists and proofreaders and authors and...) without any of this "AI" bullshit.

Rev. David Black who was shot multiple times by ICE with rubber bullets speaks.

“A clarinet player was arrested after playing her instrument to the tune of the ‘Ghostbusters’ theme song outside of a Portland ICE facility…”

My latest, on a man who supported the war in Afghanistan, came to the U.S. legally, applied for asylum, had two kids, became a bookkeeper, bought an American flag bumper sticker. Then ICE arrested him. If he's deported, he expects the Taliban to kill him. wapo.st/49aGaw2

Talk about indoctrination…

Why do all of the "Young Republicans" look 50?

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism. Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Young Republicans say they love Hitler. But what does that tell us about their politics?

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Whether it's young Democrats expressing their support for DEI or young Republicans saying "I love Hitler,' both sides have expressed controversial opinions.

The president is clearly insane, is on a white supremacist government purging spree, has masked men in the streets abducting people based on their race, is trying to start a war with Venezuela, and is tanking the economy, and none of that would be apparent just going by most corporate news outlets .

Fresh off not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Trump decides to blow up another boat and call it narco terrorism. Why Venezuela hasn't declared war on us, I don't know. apnews.com/article/trum...

The ‘Peace President’ killed six more people off the coast of Venezuela this morning. We have no evidence other than his word that they were a threat to anyone, anywhere and also release the Epstein files. Thank you for your attention in this matter!

Trump just murdered six more people off the coast of Venezuela.

Trump on moving World Cup games from Boston: "We could take them away. Your mayor is not good."

Phil McGraw positioned himself as an active participant in Trump administration. But his media venture floundered and, in July, it filed for bankruptcy. It also got hit by a lawsuit McGraw of fraud and misrepresentation www.rawstory.com/dr-phil-trump/

Faux doctor allied w/the enemy & now he's broke. YAY! I hear farms, Home Depots & ICE are hiring. I hope he remembers to carry his papers & lose some weight for Kegseth. Dr Phil faces 'total collapse' after MAGA alignment backfires massively: report www.rawstory.com/dr-phil-trump/

Heading back to Chicago to ask Dr Phil if he can grab a cup of coffee between ICE raids

Ah, the simple joy of opening up the new issue of The Onion

Reading that cretin Alex Jones was put on blast by the conservative Supreme Court and "Dr. Phil" has had to declare bankruptcy on the same day? What an embarrassment of riches! Only one other breaking news story about another odious man would make things better. www.rawstory.com/dr-phil-trum...

It's always sad when you appeal your $1.4 billion dollar Sandy Hook judgment, and the Supreme Court tells you to fuck off with your bullshit. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice Alex Jones
