Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Man @gavinnewsom’s team doesn’t mess around

I remember when the @nytimes.com in a headline referred to #StephenMiller as a "firebrand." Um, no, he's not--he's an extremist, right-wing psychopath. #Trump #GOP #Media #EpsteinFiles newrepublic.com/post/202475/...

Hi, I’m God. Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Thanks, God

Well, then some House Democrat needs to start impeachment proceedings against Johnson, according to House Rule IX.

Remember when I said that the @housedemocrats.bsky.social could claim that the Speaker's seat has been vacated AND that they could swear-in Rep. Grijalva? I was right. Any House member can move to impeach the Speaker at any time AND swear in a duly-elected rep. budgetcounsel.com/laws-and-rul...

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

#ICE agents are acting "aggressively" towards #Illinois and #Evanston residents who are just trying to go about their daily business. Shame on @nytimes.com for quoting #DHS as though their propaganda is valid, when in fact #Noem and her thugs are blaming the victims.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Why can't the Senate and the House Democrats declare that the House #GOP has vacated their seats and call for a new election? AND swear in Rep. Grijalva? In the meantime, the House Dems and Senate can come up with a CR that doesn't cut healthcare. #EpsteinFiles

In the past month, a serial child rapist has murdered 100 people in the Caribbean, destroyed the East Wing of the White House, neutralized our Congress, & stolen food from 20% of American children. We pay him, house him, drive him, fly him, and pay for his bodyguards. Call your reps 202-224-3121

With federal immigration raids continuing around Chicago, artist Henry Gonzalez predicted this year’s festivities could hold special significance for people with Latino heritage, who “might be looking to be closer and hold on tighter to their culture.” trib.al/mn0uEEq

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”

S...ing on Americans daily

YIKES

So, how are the Idaho anti-government types taking this incursion into their state by the feds?

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office. Why the delay from Mike Johnson? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

I call bullshit.

Kristi Noem is obsessing about how "unsafe" foreign truckers are. What about HER decade of 20 speeding tickets, 3 failures to stop, a citation for driving without a license, and 6 failures to appear?

When I was mayor of Mpls, I was on the leading edge of something people didn’t want to name — a new wave of harassment toward women in public office. New research shows women mayors face far more harassment and threats than men. @politico story 👇 www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I think refusal to swear in Adelita Grijalva could be useful. Democrats - who should have expelled from Congress every January 6 planner on January 7 - should refuse to swear in those same folks when they have the majority in 2027. Just say no, we won't be doing that, and move on.

Johnson basically says it here

If I was the manufacturer of #Tylenol, I'd be suing #Trump and #RFKjr.

Can’t a recent widow slip into her leather pants and lovingly caress the hair of prince weirdo on stage without people getting all gossipy about it?

Donald Trump’s administration doesn’t respect the Constitution. But they’re learning that Illinois does not and will not bow under their tyranny.

Illinois is truly in the Middle of Everything, with a tourism industry that's booming like never before. With yet another record-breaking year, we really have something for everyone as a world-class destination — and we are proud to welcome visitors from across the globe.

Republicans hate this bill because they say "the measure sends a message to police officers that 'you could be next,' referring to the provision allowing lawsuits against federal agents." With #ICE and #Trump, any one of us "could be next" and be kidnapped and "disappeared" off the streets.

Donald Trump's administration is treating the people of this country as an adversary. It's pushing the boundaries of its authority, terrorizing our communities, and disregarding all accountability. We will not meet intimidation with fear — we will meet it with truth.

Yeah, what's up with this? Isn't there an international criminal court that investigates these kinds of crimes against humanity, such as a regime kidnapping and "disappearing" people off the streets?

Republicans always find more ways to screw their constituents, yet the dopes keep voting for them. This is why @housedemocrats.bsky.social need to be out there every day telling voters the #GOP is to blame for robbing them to give money to the wealthy.

From billionaire supporters like Musk to top advisers like Stephen Miller to ICE agents carrying out his deportations, Trump is dependent on others to carry out his agenda. Democrats must make clear to every one of those underlings that they’ll be held accountable—if not today, then one day soon.
