Going back to that raid on the South Shore apartment building. It hasn't gotten much focus that the goons reportedly traveled the same way Patriot Front does: in UHauls. blockclubchicago.org/2025/09/30/a...

this is a very very big story because of the apparently totally fake story ICE/DHS put out about what happened.

Jeffries: "Republicans enacted permanent tax breaks for the wealthy, well-off, and well-connected. Permanent tax breaks. And now the nerve of these people to say to us that 'we do not have the time or inclination to address the ACA tax credits for working-class Americans'"

This case has been assigned to Judge Beryl A. Howell, an Obama appointee who granted a previous PI seeking to block one of the Trump executive orders targeting a biglaw firm. Howell has ordered the parties to come up with a briefing schedule by tomorrow.

ICE is funded, from the Big Ugly. It's REALLY important to make that clear to people, IMO, bc it makes plan what Stephen Miller's entire policy is: No services, just ICE.

"We're gonna crash some planes if you don't fund ICE."

"I’m asking you really basic questions" US judge handling Kilmar Abrego Garcia's civil case repeatedly expressed frustration today that she couldn't get concrete info from DOJ lawyers about what the Trump admin has done re: the apparent plan to send him to Eswatini www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

I'm a bit confused by Barrett's reasoning here. The will of an elected body (Congress) was that the president shouldn't be able to fire members of independent agencies without cause. Should that be a factor when considering irreparable harm? www.cbsnews.com/news/amy-con...

This was literally already asked.

Excellent, for now. Pressure on Trump to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell will amp up. #Epstein www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

🚨BREAKING: Illinois filed a lawsuit Monday to block President Donald Trump’s attempt to send hundreds of Texas National Guard troops in Chicago, saying the deployment infringes on the state’s “sovereignty and right to self-governance.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Virginia Giuffre's family reacts to SCOTUS denying Ghislaine Maxwell's petition: "We are committed to ensuring that convicted child sex trafficker Maxwell serves out the entirety of her 20-year sentence in prison, where she belongs." Full statement below

If you thought the rift over Epstein was bad now, wait until the only person still alive who can be blamed is walking the streets thanks to Uncle Don. So this might be a situation where one horrible, vile person needs to goes unpunished for the greater good. So that's me ruining your day a little.

OK, so this is going to be tough to hear, but it needs to be said. Now that Trump has been enjoined from sending *any* NG to Oregon, ICE is going to go gangbusters in Oregon, dialing everything up to 1000%. Because they need riots. They need someone punching an ICE officer. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.

BREAKING: Immergut has *granted* Oregon and California's motion to block the new call-up of Guard troops to Portland. She says this effort to bring CA and TX troops to Oregon is in "direct contravention" of her oroginal order.

BREAKING: Judge issues 2nd order blocking National Guard deployment to aid ICE in Portland, OR, after Trump sends CA Guard in & moves to send TX Guard, too. Judge Karin Immergut cites actions 'in direct contravention' of earlier ruling. w/ @kyledcheney.bsky.social www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

You know what I found most interesting about this video? How many times that one dude let go of his victim to make sure his mask didn't slip down. I approve of the fact that we have made him worry more about being identified than he worries about successfully grabbing people.

Remember that the TX NG (like any deployed from OR, CA, or IL) will not get paid during a shutdown. So, uproot them from family, home, jobs. And not pay them.

Update: We did get the second written TRO. “Defendants are temporarily enjoined from deploying federalized members of the National Guard in Oregon.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Now we have a question about whether the conditions have been met for such a deployment and, depending on what they’re exactly tasked to do, potential violations of Posse Comitatus.

Her ruling is also a model for how a judge can use Trump’s unhinged words (“war-ravaged Portland”) against him without going off the rails him- or herself. E.g., “The president’s own statements [show] that his determination was not ‘conceived in good faith’” & was “untethered to the facts.” /3-end

Some people just make things up. Other people are experts ⬇️

Folks, on these bruises (click through to the thread for context). They're from an FBI Special Agent, SA Pride, not ICE, tho local cops may have been involved.

Russ is absolutely faint from the constant raging boner he's getting about hurting people he hates.

Fundamentally, the sections of the code dealing with paper currency and money have a principle that you cannot put living people on legal tender. For paper currency, it’s a blanket prohibition. For coins, they’re legislated as a granular level thereby not permitting it. The 250th anniversary coins…

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

A long paper trail shows that Jack Posobiec votes in one state and lives in another.

With White House officials pledging that federal worker layoffs are "imminent," stopping the Trump-Vance admin's use of the civil service as political pawns is more critical than ever. That's why we're taking them to court.

🚨BREAKING: A Texas Democrat testified in federal court Thursday that Republican leadership used minority communities as pawns when they redrew the state’s congressional map this summer at the request of President Donald Trump. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

This is a VERY well crafted lawsuit. 1) Plaintiff is natural born. 2) He was detained 2X in a fast-growing part of Alabama, not in a city that Brett Kavanaugh could be easily duped into believing was all migrants. 3) Unwarranted detentions were on private property. 4) He showed Real ID both times.

Bottom line: There were not five votes to allow Trump to immediately fire Lisa Cook.

How dare journalists quote the president's words in the exact context in which they were spoken.

Hoping @normeisen.bsky.social is thinking of a way for NJ and NY's Dem members of Congress to sue Russ Vought for taking funding from the Hudson Tunnel project, with @mikiesherrill.bsky.social as the lead plaintiff.

#BREAKING: #SCOTUS punts in the Lisa Cook case, deferring resolution of Trump’s emergency application seeking to remove Cook from the Federal Reserve Board pending argument on the application in January 2026. Cook stays on the Board for now:

What dos this have to do with Ghislaine Maxwell getting princess treatment, and his buddy Epstein? #ReleasetheFiles

But Judge Ali concludes he has no power to help now that the man is outside of US custody. It's virtually identical to the position judge Chutkan was in when the US sent 5 men to Ghana — only for them to be sent to places they're likely to face torture. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...
