I will not support a deal that does nothing to make health care more affordable. We are in a health care emergency. A simple one-year extension of these tax credits would cost less than Donald Trump’s $40 billion bailout for Argentina. A vote for this bill is a mistake.

📍 𝐂𝐇𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐆𝐎, 𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐈𝐒: A child-care worker at a preschool on Chicago’s North Side was detained by federal immigration agents as children were being dropped off — despite having a valid work permit and no criminal history. #AbuseofPowerWatch

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

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

😳 😮 🫢 this is embarrassing 😳 😮 🫢

This is fucking amazing

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma. Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

Did you know some California students are getting into college without even applying? It's called direct admissions. EdSource reporter Michael Burke explains. Learn more: bit.ly/4nnBfLX

BREAKING: Indiana Gov. Mike Braun calls a special session to redraw congressional districts, expanding Trump’s push to add GOP seats.

I’ve seen just one counter-protester at No Kings San Diego. He’s got a Trump 2024 flag and this guy has been following him around for probably an hour playing Benny Hill and circus music.

We got the Lucha contingency out here

This is not a minor issue: it’s a serious threat to democracy. We’re rapidly transitioning into a world where, as long as you support the president, you can be above the law; if you’re in the opposition, you have a target on your back. Opposition can’t survive under these conditions.

A top Trump administration official said the White House would be “immediately pausing” more than $11 billion in projects in cities led by Democrats, including San Francisco.

BREAKING: The White House has confirmed it's called the 5 institutions who haven't signed its compact to a meeting this afternoon. Insiders tell us it's "an effort to regain momentum by threatening institutions to sign" @knottkatherine.bsky.social has the scoop www.insidehighered.com/news/governm...

NEW - White House spokesperson responds: “As long as they are not begging for federal funding, universities are free to implement any lawful policies they would like. However, the notion that universities should benefit from taxpayer money without responsibilities in return is terribly misguided.”

JD Vance dismisses Young Republicans who in a group chat said "I love Hitler" and joked about slavery and rape as "a bunch of kids" who "told stupid jokes" and adds that "most of the stupid things I did when I was a teenager and young adult, they're not on the internet."

This morning I was filming ICE abducting sometime in Petworth. One of the agents told me "the last US citizen that did this he put in cuffs all the way to the courtroom".

If Trump helped with the release of prisoners and hostages there, maybe he could release the political prisoners held illegally in US concentration camps. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/09/w...

Fight on! Boo Michigan! Boo Fascism!

ICE secretly kidnap autistic boy during bathroom break—never notify parents. Mother reported him missing a week ago—turns out ICE had him detained the whole time. He was helping sell fruit and asked to go to the restroom—by the time she was done helping a customer he was gone. Houston, Texas

The Times' coverage of Rowan's role has been remarkable. It is sad to me that after forcing his alma mater, Penn, to oust a really good president for incredibly poor reasons, Rowan's megalomanical next thought was "maybe the federal government should do this everywhere" and they're actually trying.

Finally, revisiting a recent journal rejection. Wowza, the reviewers were straight-up HATERS! Life is too short to hold that much anger towards a practice brief.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

Apple has removed an app that allowed people to track and anonymously report the activities of ICE agents from its app store, due to “objectionable content,” the developer said. It comes after criticism of the app from Trump administration officials.

🚨 Another detention center has opened in California City—illegally, without permits. Inside: no clean water, no medical care. Outside: immigrant families are too afraid to leave their homes. Fear is the point. We refuse to accept it.

I’m in Philly for 36 hours to help plan the AERA Division J (#highered section) for the 2026 conference in LA, CA! Always excited to represent @uscrossier.bsky.social #academicSky @usc.edu @uscpullias.bsky.social

Kavanaugh stop

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.”

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

The agent admits he treats immigrants like "they're animals" and that he tells his kids that they are animals "all the time"

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

Pay attention. Something dark might be coming. The murder of Charlie Kirk could have united Americans to confront political violence. Instead, Trump and his anti-democratic radicals look to be readying a campaign to destroy dissent. 1/ Here's what's happening.
