George Floyd would have turned 52 today. 2 years ago his brother Philonise Floyd, and his sister-in-law, Keeta Floyd, joined The Real News to share their memories of a deeply beloved and loving man taken too soon, and their fight for police accountability and racial justice.

I didn't watch CBS News before Bari Weiss got there. I doubt you did either. But the mainstream media moving right really does matter, because of the mainstream media's collective powers of 1. agenda-setting and 2. framing. newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Here are the little darlings they’ve created. Horrifying. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

ARIZONA AG: “.. Arizona’s right to a full delegation, and the right of the residents of CD 7 to representation from the person they recently voted for, are not up for debate ..” @politico.com #AZ07 www.politico.com/live-updates...

ICYMI — with electricity rates already skyrocketing, Trump just canceled the largest solar project in North America. Utah’s Republican governor seems to understand this is probably not the best idea: “This is how we lose the AI/energy race with China” 👇🏽

Translation: they gave him a plane and filled his family’s pockets

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

Imagine that

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

Spot on

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA. "We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends." newrepublic.com/post/201625/...

Klobuchar: "I remember Bondi saying, 'the president is the most transparent president in history.' I wish I said, Well then why doesn't he just release the Epstein files?"

The random people who called into this C-SPAN session had better questions for Mike Johnson than most corporate media outlets

We've all heard that there is no free lunch. Well, guess what? There is no free 747 either.

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.

Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50. This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

Congress needs to grow a spine and use its authority to stop this stuff.

This has to stop. They are terrorizing people and doing lasting harm.

History repeats itself… something something

"The president has already announced that if a judge does rule against him, he will invoke the Insurrection Act and then continue the military deployments. This is where we’ve been headed since January 6, 2021.”

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it? MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House had more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and it appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records.

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

Oh this is not great

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Broadview police are investigating.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

Scott Jennings is either lying or wildly misinformed about what happened in Chicago. He keeps claiming 37 Tren de Aragua gang members were arrested. As if it excuses zip tying kids. DHS says 37 were arrested, and only 2 were suspected gang members. Van Lathan gets it. We can’t lose our humanity.
