Trump just bombed six more people in the Caribbean, for a total of 27 civilians who have been killed so far by the US military. It’s illegal for the military to target civilians who do not pose an immediate threat. This is murder.

On Oct. 1, a gas explosion caused a public housing project in the Bronx to partially collapse. On Friday, HUD fired all the federal government's housing inspectors: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Murders per 100k residents: * Houston 19.0 * Dallas 16.6 * San Antonio 15.9 * Ft. Worth 10.8 * NYC 4.6

Trump got his COVID19 vaccine today. He will always have access to everything he needs to maintain his health while denying others the same.

Well, I got this one wrong. My bad. Apparently, she's a Trump supporter. The world is darker than I thought.

Speaker Mike Johnson just extended the House recess through next week, which means members of Congress will keep getting paid for doing nothing while essential staff like members of the military will work without getting paychecks during the shutdown. That's Republican leadership.

Republicans won’t show up to vote on paying our troops during the shutdown because avoiding a vote on the Epstein files to protect Trump and his friends is more important.

All to cover up the Epstein files.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/10.09.25...

Happy Successful MLB Season Day to all who celebrate

Texas AG Ken Paxton hired a former staffer to work on a recent case. As a state employee, her labor would have cost taxpayers $641. As a private attorney, Paxton allowed her to bill $3,780 an hour, so that day of work cost taxpayers $24,570. (Published July with @texastribune.org)

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square. Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files. Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

He had his “yearly physical” on April 11th. They’re not even trying.

Trump’s and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s family members are positioned to benefit from efforts to overhaul drug sales

Stunning corruption

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

Thus far, ICE and CBP in the Chicago region killed an immigrant Shot a woman 5 times-after allegedly taunting her, saying “Do something, b****” And shot a priest-who wasn’t remotely a threat-in the head So when does Governor Pritzker deploy the National Guard to protect citizens from these thugs

*There's* the fire.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Greg Abbott sends the elite Meal Team 6 from the Texas National Guard into Illinois.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm. Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant. By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

While there is no prohibition on Chinese ownership in U.S. military contractors like Elon Musk's SpaceX, such investment is heavily regulated and the issue is treated by the U.S. government as a significant national security concern. By @justinelliott.bsky.social & @josh-kaplan.bsky.social

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now. This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country. So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.

The regime’s playbook: Launch militarized raids in America’s cities to provoke a reaction. Then claim the reaction is insurrection to justify even more authoritarian action. The regime is using state-sanctioned violence to create a crisis. There is no justification for violence by anyone.

New KFF poll: Americans want Congress to extend the expiring, enhanced Obamacare credits by a whopping margin of 78% to 22% — a remarkable political entrenchment for subsidies that were a heavy political lift for Democrats just a few years ago, per Politico.
