ICE is using your tax dollars to target children. A child in my district was deported days before the start of the school year. We are demanding answers on why K-12 students are being arrested and whether the Department of Education is fulfilling their obligations to students in custody.

Reported Trump plan to cut more than 750,000 older Americans off disability: www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Sen. Duckworth: ICE agents are zip tying children, throwing reporters on the ground, separating children from their mothers. They are raging through the streets trying to intimidate ordinary citizens. That's not what America is about. It is shameful Trump has instigated this

“Our economy right now is not great.” Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke admits the economy under Trump is in trouble.

From Jacky-o to Tacky-ho. Melania Trump greeted sailors with a “hooyah” as she took the stage Sunday at an event in Norfolk, Virginia, marking the U.S. Navy’s 250th anniversary.

NEWS: A top federal prosecutor in Virginia has informed colleagues the she is DECLINING to charge NY AG Letitia James, despite pressure from Trump himself to indict her on bogus charges. New via Carol Leonnig and Ken Dilanian of MSNBC. Link in reply.

RIP, CBS.

The problem isn't that Kash Patel is failing at his attempts to be a serious and capable figure. The problem is that the FBI director isn't even trying. Take his firing of a field agent who wouldn’t humiliate James Comey, for example. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Every single one of them. Tell Congress to cancel the GOP healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz #GOPshutdown

Leader Jeffries: The House Republican spending bill continues to gut the health care of the American people. House Democrats rejected it because it was an attack on veterans, children, housing affordability, and health care.

Leader Jeffries: A married couple that makes $85,000 per year currently may pay about $8,000 for their health insurance. That is already far too expensive. But that couple could see their premiums increase to $24,000 a year. They're going to lose their coverage or be forced into medical bankruptcy

This is all bullshit! I certainly hope Cuomo doesn't become the mayor of NYC. He's another abuser of women. abcnews.go.com/Politics/cuo...

Even Sporkfoot knows who is responsible for the government shutdown.

Arrests are sometimes necessary, but DOJ policy prohibits “perp walks,” deliberately parading an arrestee before cameras simply to humiliate them. My thoughts in @BloombergOpinion. www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

Andrew Cuomo is on The View talking a lot of bullshit!

The Trump administration’s blatant disregard of the laws and traditions governing federal communications—rules that most employees follow dutifully throughout their careers—has left workers feeling further insulted and demoralized.

Breaking: The state of Illinois has filed a lawsuit to block the Trump admin from deploying federalized National Guard troops on the streets of Chicago. "The Trump administration's illegal actions already have subjected and are subjecting Illinois to serious and irreparable harm."

Trump is claiming no inflation. He knows that, unlike him, we actually do our own shopping and know that’s bullshit, right?

The president told thousands of members of the military that Democrats are "gnats that "we have to take care of." www.huffpost.com/entry/trump-...

The Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Jeffrey Epstein co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell. Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison term, was moved from a prison in Florida to a minimum-security camp in Texas after she was interviewed in July by Trump’s former personal lawyer Todd Blanche.

JUST IN: The Supreme Court has denied consideration of Laura Loomer's lawsuit over social media censorship:

Republicans continue to postpone the swearing-in of Adelita Grijalva, the newest Democrat elected to Congress, for a sixth day. Her day one promise is to be the tie-breaking vote to release the Epstein files.

My message to Kristi Noem is clear: Get out of Chicago.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Trump melted down over a programming choice. www.huffpost.com/entry/donald...

Trump sending troops into Blue states is not about crime. It's TREASON!

California, and the country, cannot wait for the outcome of the midterms to repel Trump’s siege on democracy. More drastic action is required. In a new piece, @clarajeffery.bsky.social argues it's time for soft secession.

The Supreme Court just took legal status from 300,000 Venezuelans

A common thread running through the controversies of the new fall season of America’s bitter politics is Donald Trump’s attempt to impose unfettered, often unprecedented presidential power on multiple fronts. www.cnn.com/2025/10/06/p...

Tyranny isn’t American. Defiance of tyranny is. Trump might think he’s warming people up to the idea of authoritarianism, but he’s encountering patriotic resistance at every turn. From judges, governors, ordinary citizens…like us. True Americans will not go quietly into the night.

In four years we went from every far-right nut saying the federal government should just shut down so states can do everything to the exact same nuts saying that federal law enforcement is so incapable of taking care of itself that states must protect them around the clock or else it is insurrection

Stephen Miller’s own cousin Alisa Kasmer on Miller: “I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil. I grieve what you’ve become, Stephen.”

BREAKING: Trump-appointed US Federal Judge Karin Immergut just blocked Trump for a second time from sending troops to Portland. This comes hours after the Pentagon confirmed 200 members of the California National Guard had been reassigned to Portland. Trump is a loser.
