They got out the ouija board to consult James Madison’s ghost and discovered Trump can do anything he wants UNLESS it hurts the justices’ stock portfolios.

JUST IN: Judge blocks Trump admin bid to pull from NY/transfer to other states $34 million in public transport counterterrorism funds due to NY sanctuary policies. Judge Lewis Kaplan (SDNY/Clinton) halts for 14 days. Was supposed to happen yday. Doc: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

That’s a lie. A big lie. A really big lie. And I’m pretty damn sure he knows it.

HAPPENING NOW — Video obtained by The TRiiBE shows a federal agent with his hands around the neck of a Black man following an apparent car crash on the West Side near California Avenue and Congress Parkway. thetriibe.com/2025/10/vide...

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

I like this analysis. BC loves to cut taxes. We have the lowest income taxes, we cut the consumer carbon tax, we removed bridge tolls and health care premiums, and often have low property taxes … but nobody wants to admit that this has created a provincial revenue shortfall of billions of dollars.

@radiofreetom.bsky.social: "Even if Hegseth is calling this meeting to discuss serious issues of national defense...few things are important enough to justify the security risk of putting the entire top U.S. military command, the secretary of defense, and the president all in the same room."

There is something weird here that Trump will tell Republicans not to touch Medicaid while simultaneously also pushing a bill that will do massive harm Medicaid. He does this behind closed doors, suggesting he may not actually understand what is in his bill www.politico.com/news/2025/05...

Something he's never going to do again.

DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin reports the MASSIVE confiscation of 2 firearms and a package of fireworks from the "rioters" in Portland.

“…arrest every person suspected of threatening or assaulting a federal law enforcement officer…” New memo drop from AG Bondi

exactly like the Chinese surveillance state

Yup. These rat bastard Republicans want us to die off—children first.

Brett Kavanaugh definitely had it right — it’s very easy to talk to ICE in these definitely low-stress, high voluntary, and respectful encounters on the streets. ICE carefully obeys all civil rights and bends over backward to respect civil liberties.

Those programs weren’t going to be funded anyway.

Incredible. They once again wrote a brief that simply pretends that Lynch v. Clarke, the first major case on birthright citizenship, just simply does not exist. It gets not a single mention or acknowledgment.

On the one hand Trump is cruel, predatory and a dictator in the making. He believes he owns the country. On the other (no real contradiction), this is entirely plausible. This presidency is an erratic/predatory ID being run and directed by a small handful of toadies and degenerate policy hands.

Am I reading this correctly? A grad student ... in Computer Science ... enrolled in an undergraduate seminar ... in the American Indian and Indigenous Studies program ... where he ignored the readings and hijacked discussions to talk about Israel and defend its actions in Gaza? What the hell?

Even before Trump announced troops to Portland recent polling suggests concerns about "threats to democracy" have been rising with voters. Dems would be smart to pay attention to how the political landscape is changing and lean in. More 👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/kimmel-ret...

Today, Thomas Sanford murdered five people in Grand Blanc, MI + injuring many more after setting fire to a church. Sanford was a Trump supporter + signed various petitions supporting conservative causes. Seen here with a "Make Liberals Cry Again" Trump shirt. www.thedailybeast.com/trump-sign-s...

An abortive attempt at a Kavanaugh Stop.

Thomas Sanford poses alongside his wife and son wearing a pro-Trump shirt with the message: 'Make Liberals Cry Again.' The shirt, which sells for $15.95 on eBay, has a cartoon style picture of Trump with his fist in the air, and reads: 'Re-elect Trump 2020.' www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Kristi Noem: How DARE you accuse our glorious ICE agents of racial profiling. Head of the Chicago raids: We are stopping people based on “how they look, how do they look compared to, say,” a tall, middle aged white guy.

An incredibly important election in a tiny country just went the right way. Moldova has resisted a huge Russian disinformation campaign and will not become a Russian puppet state.

It's so clear that there's a huge number of professionals in the US who carry with them traumatic memories of being excluded, laughed at, or looked down up on by the Smart Kids and who have basically made hostility to Smart Kids their entire personality, ideology, & worldview.

What has Yvette Cooper’s proscription of Palestine Action done to this country? Beyond absurd. It’s extreme authoritarianism. These police should be arresting rapists & crooks, not neglecting those duties to spend time arresting citizens standing against genocide. It undermines police and the law.

At least the UK papers are reporting the truth. US media is afraid to anger Trump www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone. Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.

Adams: *drops out* Jeffries: How can I make this development about me in the worst, most incomprehensible, most doomed way possible?

I'm 80-20 that this is going to be a big dumb nothingburger photo op waste of everyone's time at which Trump and Hegseth talk down to people who have spent their whole adult lives in uniform about the manliness of shaving and doing pull-ups. But that 20%... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/28/u...

For @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social @mcopelov.bsky.social or anyone else who's interested in the full exchange with Bannon, it's in the screen caps in this tweet below. It's quite something: bsky.app/profile/greg...

Scholars of the 50s and 60s, now’s your time to remind people of how the FBI infiltrates left-wing groups and foments violent action.

I just signed this electronic postcard to tell my member of parliament to stand up and protect our public postal service, and its jobs, before it’s too late. Will you sign too? #HandsOffMyPostOffice social.cupw-sttp.org/s/Jzej6Vcy @patrickbweiler.bsky.social @liberalca.bsky.social

Hey @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social,I asked Steve Bannon directly if he thinks Miller will now unleash the state on groups that describe ICE as "authoritarian," and he said: "Yes," adding that Miller is "in charge." cc @mcopelov.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2009...

Mockler: I'm pretty tired of conservatives gaslighting about the current political environment and Donald Trump's rhetoric when all of this escalation can be traced back to his entrance into American politics.

"War-ravaged" Portland today... #WarRavagedPortland

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

Shorter JD Vance: You are not allowed to criticize ICE. Goes along with shorter Pete Hegseth: You are not allowed to criticize the military's action at Wounded Knee. And shorter Donald Trump: You are not allowed to criticize me. It's full-on authoritarianism, all the way down.

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

Unreal. The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.

This is how it’s done. May we hope the United States will be handing out such medals in a few years
