NEW: First TV ad of the cycle in #IL09 is from Kat Abughazaleh, centered around ICE’s activities in Chicago Here it is 👇🏼👇🏼

McIver: The things we’re seeing this president do — it’s unbelievable. I just saw the new number: $300 million for a ballroom. The audacity of this man while we’re in the middle of a shutdown and people aren’t getting paid. I saw a line wrapped around the corner in the DMV area for the food bank

Trump wants to use the Navy to build $10B worth of migrant detention camps. Let me get this straight: we "can't afford" to invest in public programs that make housing or healthcare more affordable — but we have endless funds to detain migrants and enrich defense contractors?

Please sir I am just a small soybean farmer and a common man

The seeds are being planted to rig the midterms. It’s becoming more explicit. (Also note the gratuitous shot at the NBA, aka Black athletes who oppose him)

These are big strong men doing big important things to keep us all safe, you see

Are you kidding me with this line of questioning? CBS doing their best to downplay the seriousness of the GOP effort to rig the maps and increase voter suppression.

I’m sure Bessent was out on the back forty under the hood of his combine and had to be dragged into this interview.

I made an image of all the art posted by US DOL on X since approximately Labor Day

substack.com/@mikaanderso... The people have to use their power!

This is true—Bessent owns $25 million of farmland in North Dakota—and a reminder of why farm bailouts are nothing more than a giveaway to feudal lords who demand the government grossly distort agricultural economics to make their tax haven "farms" even more valuable to them.

WELKER: Coffee prices are up 19%, beef is up almost 15%, and bacon up almost 6% just to name a few. So when are all grocery prices going to come down as President Trump promised? BESSENT: Kristen, it's unfortunate. As much as I like you, you like to cherrypick.

Bessent on Trump bailing out Argentina: "It is America first because we are supporting a US ally."

This is their new line: I reject the premise of your question.

“I've been outed as a class traitor and I'm proud to wear that badge.” @mehdirhasan.bsky.social asks @saikatforcongress.bsky.social if people should be skeptical of his campaign for the working class, despite being a multimillionaire himself. Watch the interview: open.substack.com/pub/zeteo/p/...

And here I was, thinking it was just known as “breaking the law.” You’re telling me there’s a *strategy* here? Golly, I’m such a rube.

they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

Nothing says “you guys got me all wrong” like suddenly making your campaign staff sign NDAs.

They send armed goons to kidnap parents in front of their children and then get mad that we don’t thank them for “keeping us safe.” Hell isn’t hot enough for these assholes.

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.

Apparently Blackhawk pajamas guy is the Cook County Prosecutor. There’s a good lesson here. He says he imagined ahead of time how he would respond. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/25/c...

The Trump administration has just agreed to buy thousands of drone parts from Donald Trump Jr.’s new drone company.

When Democrats hold the majority in Congress, we will hold anyone accountable who aids Trump’s corruption.

Mark Remy joined a clean-up organized by the nonprofit SOLVE, an approximate acronym for “stop Oregon litter and vandalism,”three years ago and has been involved ever since. And while Remy says the work itself is “not very glamorous, not very sexy,” he finds it gratifying.

i really resent the continued assertion that there’s so much anger on both sides, as if the causes of the anger are equally legitimate. we’re angry because masked maniacs are violently snatching our family and neighbors off the street, and they’re angry because we’re calling them out for it.

So many lies

Border patrol agents deployed tear gas on the 3700 block of North Kildare where residents say a landscape worker, a resident, and a woman on a bike were detained. Video from a resident.

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “They’re talking about getting rid of the Voting Rights Act — that may likely happen in months… they’re rewriting history… ANTI-WOKE IS ANTI-BLACK… we’re not doing enough. We’re not calling this out.” Full: youtu.be/H5_tNkzX1yg?...

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A lot of folks may think that just yelling at ICE agents is ineffective, but consider the cumulative psychological toll of being yelled at EVERY DAY when trying to do shit. Even the biggest asshole in the world who doesn't give a shit about other people will feel the pressure.

This right here! substack.com/@therealmich...

False equivalencies will be the end of us.

“I’m not going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we’re just going to kill people that are bringing drugs into our country…We’re going to kill them. You know, they’re going to be, like, dead” - the antiwar president! Give him a Nobel!

💯

This is coming from a guy who lied on the stand about a protester, only to be humiliated by video of what actually happened, leading a jury to acquit in an hour. This vapid shitbag liar wants to “correct misconceptions?”

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

The headline writes itself. "President refuses to name secret donor..."

So when Trump was president throughout all of 2020, the Biden administration went back in time to rig the election so they could come into existence? Is it like a Looper situation?

Threatening to arrest governors for seditious conspiracy. Getting dark fast.

What a fortunate coincidence! The most corrupt family in our nation’s history, with no close second. But “HunTer BiDeN” right? www.nytimes.com/2025/10/24/u...

Rand Paul should name names.
