NEW: I spoke to the developer of the ICEBlock app, Joshua Aaron, about it's removal from the Apple App Store amid pressure from the Trump administration. Joshua will also appear on Maddow tonight! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5Oc...

If you voted for Trump 3 times, and his policies put you out of business, shouldn’t you be asking Eric and Trump Org for your bailout instead of the rest of us?

'Judge April M. Perry of Federal District Court in Northern Illinois, a Biden appointee, pressed Trump administration lawyers for more information about National Guard assignments in the, describing herself as “very troubled by the lack of answers.”' { gift link } www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

So all we had to do to keep Republicans from showing up to Congress was to have the 218th signer of the Epstein petition show up to be sworn in?

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

There’s just not enough attention being paid to how unqualified, psychologically unfit, and dangerous so many of these new ICE hires potentially are. If we had a Congress, there’d be investigations & oversight into this.

Right wing garbage Joey Gibson and Nick Sortor are back at the Portland protests. This is why I tell everyone phones out. Record everything. These people will try to stage violence or agitate. Record EVERYTHING. We have nothing to hide.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

you know this guy had to have made a huge number of enemies for oklahoma republicans to want to take him down (serves him right, he sucks)

here's today's post: "elderly golfer big mad because he can’t do a fascism in Portland" — boo fucking hoo, Donny. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter so you never miss a post —

Mike Johnson says “Republicans are the ones who care about healthcare.” Meanwhile, 40% of his Louisiana district relies on Medicaid and he helped pass the OBBB, which made major cuts to it. Republicans don’t care about healthcare, they care about empty talking points.

All Hail the Humping Antifa Frog It’s Monday. There are 395 days until the midterm elections. A Trump judge is big mad at Trump, RIP CBS and a judge’s house burns.

I was a child in the 60s where everyone was racially profiled. Being a white woman I’ve always been ashamed of what happened and what is happening. I still can’t fathom how anyone who’s not white could vote for Trump. All his isms and ists have always been on full display.

Showed a clip from a documentary about Korematsu this morning and managed not to yell back during the part where Justice Anthony Kennedy explains that presidents should never be granted unlimited powers or blindly trusted when they say it's an emergency situation.

I guess the president is rushing to send troops into blue cities because his friends in Congress can't stonewall the release of the Epstein Files forever.

There are no small government traditional conservatives left in the Republican Party, so this seems like a huge waste of time. But huge wastes of time are Ted’s specialty.

www.npr.org/2025/10/06/n... This is amazing.

The home of South Carolina Circuit Court judge Diane Goodstein was set on fire and burned to the ground after she received death threats, following criticism by the Trump administration.

Here's a live webcam of Portland. It's not yet dawn there as I post this, but the cityscape seems to be pretty clear of massive infernos and open battle sites. Maybe they're on the other side? www.skylinewebcams.com/en/webcam/un...

The dementia-addled president is deeply delusional and his poor mental state is going to lead to American citizens being hurt or killed.

Harrigan defends Trump's deployment of troops to cities: "I don't think it's wrong for members of the administration to characterize places like Chicago & Portland as war zones when they're putting up stats up about 50 murders a weekend." (There have been 58 murders in Portland all year as of Oct 1)

Another year, another vicious snub from the Nobel Prize committee.

I only want one Christmas present this year and it will benefit everyone in this country who does not still support Trump.

I still can’t wrap my head around the fact that there are people in our government who have no business being there who just keep throwing shit at a wall to see what’s gonna stick.

We need to have a conversation about the fact that Donald Trump has legitimately lost his fucking mind.

No. No it’s not. Portland is not “burning to the ground.” He’s lying. He’s fomenting hate & division. He’s aching to get our military on our streets to shoot at our citizens. He is the absolute worst of us.

And to be clear, this is not me claiming that the Trump administration is correct about violence in Chicago. It is me saying that the situation on the ground is materially different enough so as to make a potential difference in the outcome of a court case.

There was really and truly basically nothing significant going on in Portland in September before the invocation; a few dozen people protesting outside one building. In Chicago, since the operation has already been ongoing for a month, resistance is more visible and widespread.

Yeah, people need to understand that probably the single biggest reason given in Judge Immergut’s order for blocking the Guard deployment was that the facts on the ground simply did not reflect any serious issues for ICE. In Chicago there is enough of a difference that it could impact a court case.

Good morning, gnats.

Developing: Trump considering $10 billion bailout for farmers he singularly drove into poverty by taking away their biggest customers and markets. No hyperbole here. He started the fire and now he’s giving them a cup of water to put it out. And of course, he expects them to thank him for it.

Good fucking morning to everyone—except the ICE agents in Chicago making false 911 calls to get local cops to harass peaceful protestors and journalists. What the hell are you doing? There are real emergencies in and around Chicago that actually need police attention. Stop wasting their time.

I strongly object to the comparison many are making these days between Stephen Miller and Joseph Goebbels. I think it's deeply misguided, and unfair, to compare them. Goebbels was a far better propagandist, and didn't execute much policy. Miller far more closely resembles Heinrich Himmler.

DRAIN THE SWAMP

Shutdown threatens to drag on for days as positions harden Some are eyeing October 15 — when active-duty military members could miss a paycheck — as the next deadline for action.

Look, I'll take every opportunity to remind the world that Stephen Miller has a BA from Duke University but as he lectures a federal judge about the letter of the law, I'd like to remind the world that is his *only* degree and he never went to law school. A Duke degree is all this kind of guy needs.

Today would be a great day for slimy Mike Johnson to finally swear in Adelita Grijalva so her district can have representation in Congress for the first time in 7 months. All this just so Pedo Protector Mike can hide the Epstein files from the American public.

According to the New Rules, I think this means the Trump administration has to fire Miller?

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.

3 wks ago she won an election to represent a congressional district in southern Arizona that hasn’t had congressional representation for 7 months. But she hasn’t been sworn in. So the district still has no representation. Why? To protect Trump and keep the Epstein files hidden.

Remembering when Chris Rufo insisted that Disney was a thoroughly corrupt institution because it had a small number of employees arrested on CSAM and sex trafficking charges and I replied, well, let's use that standard for Republicans, and he blocked me before I could finish the thread.

NEW! You asked for a longer show, so here you go! I drop a bombshell or two, and as always, I bring receipts. I'm still working on my studio and the run of show, so feel free to share your feedback! 😍 www.youtube.com/live/PkEOK7J...

OH THE HUMANITY

💯

They blew up her house. The odd that this is an accident are very small.

Wow!

In the least qualified administration in US history, Whiskey Pete is still a standout.
