HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Mike Johnson said he would swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva "as soon as she wants." His office then backtracked — saying Johnson would only swear in the duly elected Grijalva once the government reopens. Grijalva won her special election more than two weeks ago.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

ICE thugs did this to an 84 year old peaceful protester and her husband. Honor First right boys! This is why I do what I do. www.oregonlive.com/politics/202...

AOC: "Stephen Miller is a CLOWN. He looks like he's 4’10”. He looks like he's angry about the fact that he's 4’10”. He's taking that anger out at any other population possible. Like, LAUGH AT THEM. Laugh at them."

Chicago police officers were seen with watery eyes, coughing and struggling to breathe after what could have been tear gas or smoke was released this afternoon at 38 and Kedzie, where a protest against ICE has been taking place. 10/4/25.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

@annettebeebe.bsky.social Thanks for mentioning little old me. 😊

These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now is meant to distract you from this.

@frankiemillie10.bsky.social Thanks for including me in a pack. You didn’t have to do that. Have a good day! 😊

I keep thinking back to the “border bill” that was worked on by many legislators, that Donald sabotaged, before he was ever installed. I guess we found out why he didn’t want a bipartisan approach.

MEMPHIS… Hegseth & Bondi rolling into town with an insane amount of cars in their entourage…

Welcome to Trump's America.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

Treat the president’s statements seriously, as he intends far more severe consequences than this.

Mike Johnson cancels votes, locks doors to U.S. House as he has refuses bipartisan negotiations to keep the gov't open

Trump wraps up a speech to military leaders that represented a major escalation of his effort to weaponize the armed forces into a tool he can use to violently quash domestic dissent. Hard to imagine how anyone with a shred of dignity can keep serving after this, which of course is the point.

CNBC: Is it true that you want to restore American taxpayer benefits to illegal immigrants. JEFFRIES: This is also an outright lie. Federal law prohibits the use of taxpayer dollars to provide medical coverage to undocumented individuals. That's the law.

Portland Police Chief Bob Day clarifies that the area near the ICE facility is small and doesn’t warrant the deployment of federal agents. “I want to emphasize that this is just one city block. The City of Portland spans approximately 145 square miles,” Day adds.

1. The $20 billion taxpayer-funded rescue package for Argentina, announced last week by the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, delivers an enormous windfall to hedge fund billionaire Rob Citrone. Citrone has a longstanding personal and professional relationship with Bessent.

79-year-old US citizen & business owner in Van Nuys, CA, was slammed to the ground *twice* by masked ICE agents. He was just asking for his employees to be allowed to retrieve papers proving they're legal immigrants. He suffered multiple rib fractures & a head injury w/ possible brain damage.

The tariff story isn’t just soybeans. It’s also your grocery bill. Farmers get a bailout. Shoppers just get higher prices. Trade wars don't just create pain, they ensure the costs are born by those without political power.

I conducted some research on Dr. Ian Roberts, the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, who has recently been detained by ICE, despite having lived in the US legally for decades. He earned his permanent residency through a green card. 👇🏾

The ADL reports right-wing extremists committed ~75% of extremist murders in the U.S. over the past decade, including 90% in 2019 alone. They remain the deadliest extremist threat. extremismterms.adl.org/resources/re...

Literally the authoritarian playbook: 1. Call your opponents terrorists. 2. Deploy state power against them. There's nothing subtle or confusing or complex about what's happening. The *outcome* is uncertain but the authoritarianism is right out in the open.

🚨🚨🚨 “First, do no harm.” The Hippocratic Oath has changed over the last 2500 years, but this core principle has not. This woman admits to violating this value physicians swear to uphold — in a public forum. Let us share her “humor” to protect would-be patients. Dr. Grewal 1/2

Newsom: "People ask, 'Are you being hyperbolic?' Bullshit we're being hyperbolic. If you're Black or brown, it's here in this country. And so I'm deeply proud that I had the privilege of signing the nation's first bill to address masking ... these are authoritarian actions by an authoritarian govt"

I’m tired of being divided into teams. Do you have an elderly grandparent who needs care? So do I. Do you struggle to afford the high price of everything? So do I. Do you know what it means to carry the weight of medical debt? So do I. You’re on my team — and I’m on yours.

Putin came to power on New Year's night (1999-2000). Who does he go after first? Comedians. A puppet show (Kukly) had a Putin character with a big rubbery nose & stern KGB eyes. He hated it. Suddenly that shut down. And then the Network was shut down. And then, and then, and then... - David Remnick

A woman protesting outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois, was brutally assaulted by goons who used mace and sting balls on her.

Normally it’s one or the other: weak growth or rising inflation. But tariffs gave us both. Welcome to the economics of supply shocks and stagflation.

Moskowitz: "We just heard there were no riots on the right. We're literally sitting in a building where there was a giant riot by supporters of POTUS. We also heard only leftists have said Trump is a Nazi. In 2016, the current VP said 'Trump is either a cynical asshole or he's America's Hitler'"

ICE GOONS trying to bully a 16 year old? Chicago

A free and democratic society cannot silence comedians because the President doesn’t like what they say. This is an attack on free speech and cannot be allowed to stand. All elected officials need to speak up and push back on this undemocratic act.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”. They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left. This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up. www.cnn.com/2025/09/17/p...

If you’re scared of what comedians have to say about you… You’re weak.

Kristi Noem joined ICE in a Chicago raid this morning. Agents blew the doors off a U.S. citizen’s house, handcuffed him, and put him in a propaganda video even after realizing it was a mistake. This is America under Trump. No one is safe.

Take ICE and its leaders straight to the ICC. Enough of this crap.
