Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

The day after the Chinatown raid, New York AG Tish James launches an online portal for the public to submit photos and videos of ICE activity. "We are committed to reviewing these reports and assessing any violations of law," she writes. Portal ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.

JOURNALISTS AND POLITICIANS STILL ON TWITTER: You have pathetic engagement. You get tens of likes on major news stories. You exist for one reason only - to validate the site and enhance the profile of the tens of thousands of neo-Nazis to whom the site owner steers massive engagement.

NEWS: ICE arrests Chicago man whose teenage daughter is fighting cancer: “He belongs with her.” I spent yesterday afternoon with Ofelia Torres and her mother, Sandibell, talking about Ruben Torres. Here’s the story www.chicagotribune.com/2025/10/21/i...

Our story so far: Trump orders minions to destroy the Capitol on Jan 6. He's banned from YouTube. He returns to the White House. He sues YouTube for banning him. They settle for $22 million. That money is used by Trump to destroy the East Wing www.cnbc.com/2025/10/22/t...

There are prominent, open Nazis who are followed by the Vice President of the United States and that fact and those people have literally never been reported on in a major outlet. It's an insane state of affairs built entirely around denial.

What's "small" here is John Fetterman, a person so weak of mind and devoid of principles, so used to the lazy grift he switched to after winning office, that he won't even criticize corruption so brazen it has no parallel in American history, the President literally paying himself a fortune.

If Paramount Skydance buys up Warner Bros, many of the shows you watch will all be owned by the same company — and they can jack your prices up. We can't let that happen. We have antitrust laws for a reason, and it's on Donald Trump to enforce them.

"I was the editor of Governing, a magazine and website covering state and local governments. But after facing increasing internal censorship pressures — largely to avoid critical coverage of President Donald Trump — I refused to go along, and I resigned." www.politico.com/news/magazin...

The amount of energy required to supply the data centers powering AI is so vast that meeting that need may be more than a lifetime away, according to a senior executive at Apollo

I’ve seen the skeet about this principle. I concur. Seeing a preteen develop up close the last year or so has added a lot to my perspective on how adults behave. These people are truly just small humans having big emotions they cannot process because they have permissive emotionally absent parents.

Twitter is destroying America, full stop. It's turning our entire society into 4chan and our elites are not only unable to break their addiction to the site, but won't even admit what it's become. They tweet something for 45 likes while Nazi material gets tens of thousands, and think nothing of it.

Every tweet of mine instantly garners hundreds or even thousands of replies with this catchphrase. Again, this woman is an explicit white supremacist who believes Jews and black people should be exterminated. This is who runs Twitter now, with Elon Musk's express approval.

Also, THIS IS HOW ELON MUSK DESTROYED POLITICS. People look to the social media in-group to figure out how to behave. Musk bought Twitter and made the in-group a bunch of literal neo-Nazis with violent racist and anti-Semitic viewpoints. US politics turned on a dime.

It's insane that we have a major social media platform acting as an organizing hub in which neo-Nazis reach millions of people a day with messages of racial violence and exterminationist anti-Semitism, and liberals are too embarrassed to be seen caring about Twitter to do anything about it.

Every single blue state AG should be launching an investigation into how Twitter is facilitating the American neo-Nazi movement.

Did you know that law enforcement used to regularly investigate extremist organizing as a matter of course? "Oh it's on Twitter and reaching millions of people so you can't look at it" - no, they definitely can

Sen. Merkley’s lengthy speech comes after Democratic Sen. Cory Booker broke the all-time record for longest continuous floor speech in April, also in protest of President Trump’s policies.

Sharfstein: How would you characterize morale at the agency at this point? CDC Union President:

I knew a single Marine in my unit who got Nazi iconography tattooed on his body. It’s because he was a white supremacist dirtbag and none of us talk to him because he’s a garbage human who got Nazi shit tattooed on him. Weird how the rest of us managed to serve without adopting those symbols, huh?

Gross, I wouldn't trust your brother if I met him and I certainly wouldn't vote for him.

The circumstances remain head-spinning: - The DOJ investigated a suspected criminal - The suspected criminal then took control over the DOJ - The suspected criminal now expects the DOJ to stuff “a lot” of taxpayer money into his pockets to satisfy his self-pitying sense of entitlement

Pretty alarming when masked federal agents are taking an unknown number of demonstrators off the streets and even members of Congress can't find out what happened. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/federal...

As a Senate candidate, Fetterman guaranteed voters he’d be a reliable Dem, not another Manchin or Sinema. Constantly. It was his core promise to primary voters. Liar.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Doing the whole ‘Trump is good for leftism because he will weaken the US’ routine in twenty-fucking-five is some pathetic behaviour, and with consideration toward shit like ICE and CECOT, honestly kinda depraved

No Kings protests were one of the few times Trump, MAGA, and right-wing media were reacting to something the opposition did, rather than the opposition reacting to whatever they do. Adopt a principle from war strategy: generally better to be taking action and forcing opponents to react. Good point.

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Whenever you hear someone invoke the unitary executive, remember the image below. This was an inevitable result of the unitary executive theory: Empowering a president to tyrannically destroy institutions that ensured our government reflects the rule of law rather than his personal whim.

Yes! Like we did of our hero from 40 years ago. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wom...

ICE agents greeted by a hero on arrival in New York this evening. Make statues of this.

NEW: CU Boulder sophomore Nathaniel Ellis has been identified as a member of the white supremacist groups Patriot Front and Active Club. Nathan is on the Executive Board for CU Boulder's Turning Point USA Chapter. Read the full report: frontrangeantifa.noblogs.org/nathan-ellis/

Another Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter leader has been outed as a neo-nazi and member of violent white supremacist organizations Patriot Front and Active Club.

They got Claudine Gay out of the Harvard presidency over a footnote.

"A more soporific set of headlines would be hard to write.” That's what I told @sulliview.bsky.social about 2 stories that NYT put atop its Sunday front page, while it reduced No Kings coverage to 2 tiny photos below the fold and a story on Page 23. margaretsullivan.substack.com/p/who-cares-...

this is not even a march, this is spontaneously assembled from the people on the street and surrounding areas who hate ICE and that’s fucking beautiful. I love New York City so much

The New York Times writes 21 paragraphs about the Warner Brothers sale without a single mention of the fact that this company has a 25 year history of disastrous mergers (AOL, AT&T, Time Warner, Discovery) resulting in endless layoffs and price hikes and shittier product

'As of Monday, roughly 8 per cent of US warships deployed globally were in the Caribbean, according to a fleet tracker. Until destroyers arrived to start the build-up in August, the only US ship spotted in the region by the tracker this year was a hospital ship.' www.ft.com/content/dc10...

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

look I'm rotting my brain here with everyone else but I have enough of it left to recognize that Online people's sense of what is "normal" is breaking. just weeks ago a Black pundit was describing leaving places where people use the N-word liberally as an abdication of politics

Nazi tat affair useful because anyone doing bizarre prevarications atm re how its totally normal to have a Nazi tattoo, good actually, not a big deal that'd matter in an election, if anything its cringe you care, etc etc, has revealed you never need to take their politics opinions seriously again.

Well then he won’t mind if we cut off funding! Great!

Every time a Trump nominee fails, the White House looks even more incompetent: - Paul Ingrassia - E.J. Antoni - Brian Quintenz - Matt Gaetz - Dave Weldon - Ed Martin - Janette Nesheiwat - Chad Chronister - Kathleen Sgamma - Jared Isaacman - Elise Stefanik www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Time to re-up one of the great quotes of all time...while the Totenkopf is in the discourse. www.huffpost.com/entry/attemp...

all very reminiscent of how Brett Kavanaugh’s life was going to be “ruined” if he didn’t get to be on the Court over a few measly sexual assaults

"Oh so there's no path to redemption?" Sure there is. Most paths to redemption don't run through the U.S. Senate, though. Go, live a good life. Farm oysters. Diminish and go into the East and be an always improving Graham Platner. Do not be a Senator. And remove that fucking tat.
