Well well.. Let's just assume that this judge gets to do his job and preside over the case since that's HOW IT WORKS. And may that dipshit attorney Trump gave the job to to go after his percieved 'enemies' be forced to watch her entire legal career burn to the ground.

Seems relevant to some of the breaking news today. I hope Halligan's whole career is obliterated. Soon.

Would have been cool if our guys had put the brakes on Trump installing so many of these ridiculous clowns.

Yes, if everyone must defer to the president's lies, that is an unrestricted dictatorship. If "that's just not true" has zero sway, then non-emergencies permit emergency powers, nonviolent actions permit war powers, and any behavior the president doesn't like is an act of war, permitting anything.

One is an Iraq veteran who is days away from retirement, and who will lose all his retirement benefits as a result. The persons fired engaged in no misconduct of any sort. But Trump is angry at them.

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

I met Samantha after Trump’s agents took her mom off the street yesterday, which she confirmed by watching video we showed her. “She looks ready to cry… she wanted to go to the store. She wanted to make some albondigas which is basically a meatball stew” youtu.be/9dx266qOOic?...

Mike Johnson’s position is young pregnant American women shouldn’t have to wait before being turned away to die in the parking lot from an ectopic pregnancy the hospital is afraid to treat

Ohhhhhhhh!!

For the record, he has a JD, was a constitutional lawyer for the ADF (rightwing group behind 303 Creative, the Colorado gay cake case, and current conversion therapy one), and was even dean of a law school that never opened (shady). But also? Claims to have no idea how laws or constitutions work.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement plans to use a hub in Vermont to bolster its digital surveillance capabilities as the agency ramps up operations across the country at the direction of leaders in President Donald Trump's administration. buff.ly/bdu2eRR

“I can find people, but I also don’t want to put anyone at risk because there are people being deported even with proper documentation. Every time they come or leave it’s worrisome, and you don’t know if they’re going to make it back home. I would feel like it’s my fault.”

ICE is a hostile occupying force that is a danger to everyone.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

I know invoking Latin terms can be a bit esoteric, and "dementia" is fine and accurate, but I think there's real merit in zeroing in on the relevant legal concept: he is non compos mentis. Not just that he's a batty old man, he is debilitated in a concrete legal sense, fit for conservatorship.

Try 2: He named himself 1st asst. Seems like 1st asst is an inferior office, requiring head to name. Also brings up the ? from US Attorney cases about whether you can name a 1st asst after a vacancy. I think yes (if it's the director), but Congress needs to limit. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

I. Don't. Pray. So telling me I have to pray.

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

You know what would be amazing? It would be AMAZING if elected @housedemocrats.bsky.social and Senate DEMS could stop repeating: hEAlthCaRe heAlThcAre HEAltHCarE !!! Every single time the get in front of a camera while Trump et al ramps up a literal WAR AGSINST DEMS.

It really is important to highlight that this is a problem that appears unique to Gavin. No other D governor has done anything lately that is anti-trans, and the vast majority of elected Democrats are doing what they can. These bills passed the CA legislature with sizeable majorities

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

The Democrats could have reformed this law when they had the White House and both houses of Congress.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social TAKE AIPACS MONEY OUT OF YOUR MOUTH BEFORE YOU SPEAK ABOUT THIS.

Any Project 2029-style rebuilding project that tables confrontation with the Supreme Court will doom itself. www.offmessage.net/p/the-suprem...

Former OMB associate director on personnel here: This is blatantly false and inexplicably undermines Congress's authority. Congress made extremely clear in 2019 that furloughed feds are to be paid, full stop, period. There is no question, except why the Speaker would make such a statement.

I haven't loved anything this much in a long time. Chew him up and spit him out, Lawrence! (Lawrence dragging Jake Tapper FOR. FILTH. )

Tragic. I hope they fail miserably, get laughed out of town and some decent people step in to run the place.

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city. They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

I sincerely hope these judges get their minds around what 1CE is doing. They can't assume good faith. They can't trust the narrative. Judges need to know that these scenes are staged.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

As Gov Pritzker describes it, the Trump secret police assault on a Lakeshore Drive apartment complex was a made-for-TV event designed not to serve any lawful mission, but instead to create video footage that would be suitably depraved to entertain the MAGA base. That's correct.

HA.HA.HA.

A federal district judge said Kilmar Abrego Garcia can proceed with his claim that human smuggling charges filed against him in Tennessee were done in retaliation for successfully challenging his deportation in another court and should be dismissed. marylandmatters.org/2025/10/06/c...

Been wondering how SCOTUS could get to "red gerrymanders ok, blue ones bad. " Here's one way: DOJ sues CA, NY, other blue states, SCOTUS rules maps illegal. DOJ doesn't sue red states, maps remain.

A big Medicare fraud case nearly cratered after Pam Bondi fired the lead prosecutor over some 2017 anti-Trump blog posts. She did this on Rosh Hashanah, a few days before trial was supposed to begin. It's possible that her objective was actually to stop the Medicare fraud case itself.

UMMM WHAT???

Okay. Well, if Trump is going to attempt legal end-arounds like federalizing the NG of GOP states to send them to Dem states over the objections of governors and courts, I think the Democrats should just keep the federal government shut down indefinitely.

Spanberger seems likely to win. But she will harm every other Democrat in doing so— she harms the Democratic Party brand by associating it in a bipartisan way with Republicans

Nobody covers these things like Anna does. Truly grateful and amazed. And FUCK DOJ, TRUMP, HEGSETH, NOEM AND MILLER.

She said: NO. fuck you. Sit down. Like 15 times I think. Whew.

@crainschicago.bsky.social WHAT. DID. PRITZKER. SAY?

BREAKING: "For all of the reasons" given in Saturday's TRO, Immergut grants plaintiffs' second motion for a TRO. "Based on the conduct of the defendants, ... in direct contravention" of Saturday's TRO, the second TRO bars relocation or federalization of National Guard from "any state or D.C."

I dare you to bring Tom Brokaw out of retirement to explain to America the regime has deployed the CA National Guard to put down a threesome of inflatable mascots menacing ICE.

I know already that nearly everyone i follow on here knows that TRUMP'S GOONS are litteraly trying to kick shit off. If they succeed in making the case for even more violent repression of the people it won't be because ppl here didn't send out the warnings. But how else do we share this message?

Me: What did gestapo do that is similar to ice? ChatGPT: ⬇️ Are we clear yet? 🆘 🇺🇸
