Trump and his thugs are a disgrace.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

“Without the hands, the poster would have been okay, the district’s chief academic officer told Inama this spring. But with the hands, it violated a West Ada School District policy, enacted in 2022, which requires all classroom displays, posters, flags, etc., to be “content neutral.””

Do Americans need a government that lies with every breath?

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

NEW Trying to make sense of the nonsensical decision to drop the Chinese spying prosecutions How the positions of neither the CPS nor the government stand up to scrutiny By me emptycity.substack.com/p/trying-to-...

The murderous assault on Ukraine and its civilians continues while Trump fiddles.

They arrested a giraffe.

The mechanism through which Trump is paying the troops is the most blatant large Antideficiency Act (ADA) violation in US history. It's also clearly willful. No one has been charged under the ADA before, but violations carry a two-year jail term. The statute of limitations is five years.

They grabbed him, pulled him over the line and then charged him with trespassing once he was there. #RobbyRoadsteamer consequence.net/2025/10/robb...

Republicans are going to cheat & gerrymander with the rubber stamp of the Supreme Court. It will be very hard for Democrats to take back the House and Senate. Meanwhile, Trump will send the military to crush protests, and when he gets desperate, he'll implement martial law. Eyes wide open, folks.

Johnson and the regime are sooo corrupt, so anti-democratic.

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

The Gaza grift: “A FIFA spokesman noted that many world leaders were present and that as FIFA president, Mr. Infantino was justified in being there as something of an equal.” (NYT)

One year ago today, NASA flagship Europa Clipper launched. Today, NASA JPL, which built it, fired another 500 people. (They've lost 25% of workers total.) We're sacrificing scientists and engineers to build concentration camps and gaudy White House ballrooms. NASA is in crisis. America is in crisis.

If you can’t rely on a law-abiding government to do what’s right, then, yes, you resort to the courts.

So Hegshit is annoyed at media orgs (even Fox) saying no to his fascist Pentagon restrictions, and wallops another boat in the Caribbean in pique. bbc.com/news/article...

This is so true.

Big roar for AG Letitia James at the ZOHRAN rally👇🏽

This is great

Brilliant.

The right mayor for the moment.

Wow, wow, wow. This has always been legally possible but the law has virtually never been enforced — and now this is the SECOND case I've heard of in the last month (first involving a person with a green card) of a noncitizen being charged for failure to carry their papers.

Much of the media say no Hegseth’s attempts to curb their rights within the Pentagon. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/b...

"There is, however, one big difference between Trump’s trade policy and China’s. Namely, the Chinese appear to know what they’re doing."

Excellent!

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

But what is a fatuous pauper?

An academic who taught about anti-fascism who had to flee the US after death threats.

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Insurrection Act won’t be long coming. The regime is intent on invoking it at the slightest excuse.

This should be every American right now.

By the way ICE in this video is driving a $100k luxury SUV. They’re literally gangsters with a $100 billion dollar budget, which, like any gangster, they have used to buy themselves luxury cars and guns. Pretty soon they’ll start gold-plating their weapons, because why not

Luttig has it right here: “[T]he Supreme Court has given them no choice but to speak out.”

I actually gasped. As a former public health reporter the MMWR is a big deal

OH. MY. GOD. 🫠

The GOP doesn't need a single Dem vote to end the Shutdown. They have the votes & could end it RIGHT NOW but they're stonewalling to avoid releasing the Epstein files, cut us off from ACA & blaming the Dems for it! #HoldThemAllAccountable #FightFascism #DefendDemocracy #BlockICE #SecureOurHealthcare

BREAKING: Friday night massacre underway at CDC. Doznes of "disease detectives," high-level scientists, entire Washington staff and editors of the MMWR (Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report) have all been RIFed and received the following notice:

Between 2019 and 2024 in real terms EU exports grew by 11%. UK exports also grew. By 0.89%. That's the total. Goods exports were lower in real terms in 2024 than in 2014.

Trump to China: obey my command or I will destroy the United States

No need to hunt all over for Antifa headquarters. It's located in Arlington National cemetery. There are 400,000 members there.

And the lawsuits will follow promptly. Government shutdowns give presidents no additional authority to dismiss federal workers. We’ll fight these outrageous assaults on civil servants and public services.

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility: "Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

Outrageous -- and apparently in blatant violation of yesterday's ruling protecting protesters and journalists from this kind of shit. www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/10/w...
