Rule of Law Alert: Trump’s authority for country-specific tariffs comes from the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which doesn’t mention tariffs—but does require a national emergency. An ad showing that Reagan opposed tariffs surely is not a national emergency. (It may be a personal one)

A friend of mine in Chicago just shared a video on IG of an ICE operation near her house. The operation happened just minutes before the neighborhood Halloween parade. ICE used tear gas and multiple parents had to wash their kids' (including toddlers) eyes out.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

The ex-prosecutor also said this: “I have a lot of close contacts in law enforcement, and almost to a person, none of them support these actions. As a lawyer, someone who adamantly believes in the rule of law, watching it in open sight in front of my house just be completely eroded…it’s upsetting.”

ScreenRant interviewed the #MortalKombat II team about what to expect from the sequel. The original game's creator Ed Boon promised "double the number of fights" and screenwriter Jeremy Slater felt unafraid to hype the film to high heavens. Read it all here: bit.ly/4o0omZe

Ah, locals mention the federal court order here, which also requires agents to wear some identification. Also, quite an image in here: masked, fully-geared-out DHS agents getting screamed at in a residential neighborhood by some dude who is barefoot and in pajama pants.

Thinking a lot recently about the outrage over Lizzo playing James Madison's flute

Rain is coming down here at Hard Rock, and the DJ is playing CCR's "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" Solid sing-along effort from the crowd.

Series of randomly placed explosives.

Hits blunt

Hard Rock PA playing Bruce Springsteen's "Born in the USA" while honoring veterans. Either never listened to the words or is incredibly based.

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.

Do you think when the ICE agents slink away from their latest public humiliation, one of them finally thinks of a good comeback and tries to convince the other guys to circle back so he can get that "jerk store" zinger in?

F*cking do it. We dare you.

Everyone is 12 theory undefeated

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.

On national TV, on the steps of Capitol Hill.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.

Lolololol

What a fucking doofus. Federal Immunity means fuck all to State charges. Nosferatu ads looking mother fucker. Go play with your dolls

"President Donald Trump will likely name his new $300 million White House ballroom after himself, according to senior administration officials." He should enjoy it while he can because I can quaran-fing-tee you that this changes the first time Democrats regain control of the Oval.

this is the ne plus ultra of an impeachable offense

This is Pringle. He was found as a stray with a dislocated femur and severely damaged hip socket. Despite being in a lot of pain, he just wants to kiss everyone he meets. He needs surgery to repair his hip, then he can focus on giving out smooches. You can help him below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/pringle

When Trump or his goons talk about "antifa," they might as well be talking about demons or leprechauns. But this fake threat shows how the Trump administration has fully absorbed real organized criminal gangs. Yep, echoes of Nazi history in this. www.salon.com/2025/10/22/h...

I’m willing to bet that Comey and Fitzgerald are smarter than the DoJ lawyers about what constitutes a conflict of interest, and I’m willing to bet they’ve already contemplated this and have a response prepared.

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Every protest has that one guy who didn’t read the flyer.
