He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

BREAKING: A federal jury in Brooklyn awarded our clients — 674 immigrants unlawfully jailed by the Suffolk County Sheriff’s Office — $112 million. Could not be more proud to work at @latinojustice.bsky.social and to partner with the talent of Winston & Strawn.

Trump is worried that if he feeds the hungry and he didn’t have to, that he won’t be able to get the money back. Our money. Appropriated by Congress. To feed the hungry.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

Good grief. This administration is so soft on crime.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

NEW: DOJ alleges that James Comey authorized someone “at the FBI” to anonymously engage w/ the media. But documents suggest that that “someone”—Daniel Richman—may not have been officially employed by the FBI during any of the communications cited by prosecutors www.lawfaremedia.org/article/more...

They can't hide from the Epstein files forever. I have some new information about them that I'll reveal on this Sunday's Breakdown over on @meidastouch.com at 3:30 PM PT.

And there it is….. Announcement is made that the U.S. House will be out of session AGAIN next week Two full months since their most recent vote

Authoritarian expert Ruth Ben-Ghiat on how Tuesday's election provides a blueprint to defeat Tyranny! But In this clip she bluntly shares a warning of what Trump will attempt next to hold on to power

That was the only time in the years I was in the unit that I saw any politician do that. And I never forgot it. /thread

Well, tens of millions of Americans are going hungry and tens of millions of Americans are losing their health care, but it's all been worth it to ensure transgender citizens can't get passports.

Just note that in 2024, voter turnout was 64.1% ... so fully ONE THIRD of registered US voters can't be bothered to vote .... even with early voting, mail-in voting, and same day voting.... compare that to say Germany who has 82% turnout on a single/ same-day vote. So stop complaining & just vote!!

Trump’s ballroom-to-be may seem silly to focus on when the administration daily takes one backhoe or another wrecking ball to the rule of law itself. But the patterns of abuse here are the same. Read my latest @lawfaremedia.org: www.lawfaremedia.org/article/trum...

Let's not forget They plan to NOT lose in 2026 and 2028, no matter how many people vote for Democrats Republican election official bought Dominion Voting Systems and all their election related subsidiaries Just one of their many plans www.wired.com/story/scott-...

Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison. So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Brilliant piece as always, please read it - no one understands this foul, scheming beast more deeply than Noel. Trump is a wrecking ball - it's why his obscene destruction of the people's East Wing to build himself a gilded, oligarch-funded grifting annex was the perfect metaphor for his presidency

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

👀 WOW — “Speaker Johnson is stalling Grijalva until Van Epps gets there to cancel out her vote?” TN-7 nominee @aftynbehn.bsky.social tells us Johnson plans for Van Epps to help him cover up the Epstein files. (His weak answer to NC5 is another clue🕵️ )

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

They unanimously acquitted sandwich guy, even though this was probably misdemeanor assault. I know I joke a lot about this case, but this jury nullification is actually really embarrassing for Pirro/Trump/Bondi.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump administration "did not comply" with his order.

The judge DENIES the government a stay. SNAP must be fully paid by TOMORROW.

Govt doesn't want Comey to look at grand jury transcripts. Way to look guilty, guys. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history. She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

1 in 8 people rely on SNAP.

You know something's wrong when in the richest, most powerful country in the world, the President is refusing to fund SNAP and instead, actively weaponizing people's hunger.
 
It's immoral. It's cruel. And it must come to an end.

The Trump family crypto grift and the Binance pardon boil down to one thing: CORRUPTION. Trump is profiting off the presidency every day, while leaving Americans out in the cold.

Donald Trump was re-elected president one year ago today. I said at the time I was hopeful America would quickly wake up to his corruption and authoritarianism. After last night, I hope you feel that optimism too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bepjl3orz1A

Neal Katyal's opening volley against Trump's tariffs: "May it please the court: Tariffs are taxes."

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

Today is Day 36 of the Republican shutdown. Your regular reminders: 1. Republicans control the White House, Senate and House. 2. GOP making deep cuts to Medicaid, Medicare and ACA. 3. Democrats are fighting to lower costs, cancel the cuts and save healthcare for Americans.

Americans want sane, stable leadership that is focused on lowering the cost of living. People are already fed up with the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration. Republicans should LISTEN and work with us to reopen government and save the ACA tax credits.

“Donald Trump - since I know you’re listening - I have four words for you. TURN THE VOLUME UP.” - Mamdani

I mean this is so far pretty close to a 10 out of 10 night for Democrats. Winning everywhere! Statewide in PA and GA, huge margin in VA gov race. Sherrill tracking double digits as well! Mamdani above 50% in a the highest turnout in NYC since 1969. Big pick ups in VA House of Delegates.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members. At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

Open defiance of a court order + dissolution of the House = dictatorship. Dictators don't get voted out. gregolear.substack.com/p/8647-donal...

I've been wracking my brain for months, trying to figure out how we can get rid of not just Trump, but also Vance and the entire monstrous Cabinet. #Liz48 is what I've come up with. Please share this.

👀 Scoop: IRS Direct File, the free government-backed program that let you file your taxes for free, is dead. IRS wrote to state tax agencies saying it would not be operational this coming tax season, per records I've obtained. IRS Direct File: 2023-2025. (Story from when the pilot launched.)

For millions of Americans, today will bring the chance to be heard. If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.
