Hey California 🔊 I voted "YES ON 50" today! 🗳 I HOPE 🤞🏽 that you will also! 💙 🇺🇸

Just in: The Pentagon Press Association issued a new statement condemning the DOD's new press policy, which has mostly expanded restrictions on the press — including outlawing reporters from soliciting information.

I suspect that other than the pure lunatics the Repubs know the economy is sinking, & health care is about to blow up, & Stephen Miller is president. And I doubt any of them are afraid of Stephen Miller

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.

Looks like many of those influencers of Gen Z males to Trump are now trying to distance themselves from him: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Number of new US study visas issued to students from India drop 44.5% compared to 2024. Visas for Chinese students also dropped u.afp.com/Smfb

Think this is what Mike Johnson fears happening to HIM if he swears in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social by MAGA-types or those in the #EpsteinFiles likely facing prison?

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

One example is that I was on Facebook and a friend of mine posted of how a judge in South Carolina had her house blow up with her family inside. They were lucky to get out and I assumed that it was from MAGA-types. I brought this up as an example

Except their "masters" would claim they would not have enough "bling" to deal with dog-eat-dog mega-elites in known tax shelters like Monaco. Any new tax they would use to rub in the faces of the "masters" that they pay little or no tax and use that to humiliate them as they're THAT MEAN.

And that to me is what they really fear. The #EpsteinFiles will show connections between those in it with #transnationalorganizedcrime that would take them down and also take down Trump, Bibi, Putin, Orban and many other world and corporate leaders in a massive avalanche.

I think Johnson fears if he swears in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social, he and his family will face violent "very bad things" in retaliation from MAGA-types or those in the #EosteinFiles who would be looking at prison and think they'd have "nothing to lose" by murdering Johnson and his family.

Referring to the abuse visited upon over a thousand girls as a “red herring” is nasty work, you asshole.

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

NEW: In Texas redistricting case, a leading political scientist testified that he saw “evidence of intentional discrimination” in the map, which “aggressively seeks to roll back minority power.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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...

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Who could ever have imagined when I played a fictional rebel who joined the Resistance to oppose a criminal Authoritarian & wannabe King, it would be happening in real-life? #TwentyfiveFortyseven

This is no longer America "for the people, by the people"... Republicans are 100% complicit ... Vote Blue! 💙

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

Robert Reich seems to think what will end the shutdown will be when air traffic controllers start calling out sick: ca.news.yahoo.com/robert-reich...

Trumpnomics: Get tariff money from US consumers on Chinese goods. Our farmers can’t sell their products because the Chinese refuse to pay our tariffs. China buys from farmers in Argentina instead. We send Argentina $20 billion. Then we pay our farmers to throw their crops away.

And it's to me the GOP DONORS who seem to get a demonic pleasure of seeing the less fortunate suffer. It's like they feel a need to be this way because of dog-eat-dog mega-elites overseas who would be looking to humiliate them for showing any empathy at all. Some are THAT miserable.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend voters in 7 of those cases in ME, MI, MN, NH, NY, OR and PA. I suggest that DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining one in CA.

California and New York paying taxes to this federal government in 2025 is tantamount to England and France paying taxes to Germany in 1940. The money is going to be used *against* you.

Priorities.

The teen in New Jersey who deliberately slammed into two girls on bikes, killing them, has a connection with the local police where his father appears to be a captain.

Donald Trump shut down the government because he doesn't want you to have healthcare. But this isn’t just on him. Democrats MUST use their leverage to protect our rights, but it can’t end there. Schumer and Jeffries can’t just go on TV or write letters, they need clear demands. We need action now.

Easily, his most elaborate and destructive distraction from #TheEPSEIN_Files... yet.

@padems.org @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social this is the crap I'm getting about the THREE liberal judges up for reelection in November from conservative groups. Idiots here are going to fall for the "scary red" and the "term limits". I see their ads all over YouTube but none from Dems...🤷🏽‍♀️ #VoteYesPA 👍🏼

NEWS ANALYSIS | WAR & PEACE We Said “We Will Block Everything” and We Did: Inside Italy’s Strike for Gaza Following a 24-hour general strike on September 22, the country is now gearing up for a national protest on October 4. By Laura Montanari , TRUTHOUT September 30, 2025

This photo just about sums it up

I hope people understand that Trump just declared war on us. We will see what the generals do but be ready for anything to come. #Resist

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

A show of hands please.

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek in Portland: "I will not be approving utilization of the Oregon national Guard. The President does not have the authority to deploy federal troops on State soil."

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

Imagine being 12 or 14 and have this utterly disgusting prick raping you! Eww. Does that filthy man even shower on occasion? 🤮🤮🤮😡😡😡 www.al.com/politics/202...

Wow. Let’s not blow past this. The administrator of the ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY says that climate change is a hoax/con job.
