Judge rules federal agents can't deploy chemical irritants at journalists, protesters who don't pose threats From my colleagues @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

📌 Mark Kelly & Ruben Gallego confront Mike Johnson ‼️⤵️🐥

9 more days! ⏰️ Who is attending? 🙋🏼‍♀️

Philippines earthquake: tsunami warning issued after 7.4 quake hits Mindanao

It is pretty galling that the Supreme Court spent four years telling Biden "you can't do that without Congress" then allowed Trump to seize a once-unthinkable amount of power from Congress within nine months and concentrate law-making authority almost entirely in the executive branch.

Arrogance on steroids….

Oversight Democrats have one message for Speaker Johnson: Stop the Shutdown, Release the Files!

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.

If ANY other president had been caught DMing directives for the Attorney General to indict his political enemies it would have been game over. Impeached. Removed. But not Trump. With Donald Trump, it’s just another fucking day ending in Y.

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House. Not a single offer. Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

And we all know why #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

Good lord. @apnews.com

"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.”

Our authoritarianism is run on clichés borrowed from the Eastern Europe of twenty years ago. Paid protestors, disloyal cities, evil Soros, vast conspiracies — it was all tiresome then and there, and now it’s pathetic.

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

Johnson: Miss Grijalva has not yet had a scheduled date because she was elected after the house was out of session, Gallego: You don't want her to be on the Epstein discharge. Johnson: You guys are experts at red herrings. Gallego: This is an excuse

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

JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat. Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

I’m shocked.

I1. Idk if any of you guys saw this crazy bi**h yesterday but she is completely unhinged. She DOES act like she will never be held accountable for ANYTHING and how dare anyone ask her a goddamn thing. I’m extremely worried bc these ppl are digging in and are planning on going nowhere!

"The plan is to continue to push." Annie Farmer, a survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse, expresses her hope for the passage of the Epstein Transparency Act, and her surprise that more Republicans will not support it.

- #PamelasWednesdayWisdom Taking care of our Veterans is a cost of war. If you won't take care of Veterans, then don't go to war. --US Senator Bernie Sanders, Democratic Socialist -

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece. It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out. 1/2

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

If you dont like getting political phone calls ... Opt out by returning your ballot immediately!! You drop off the phone call list!

Pam Bondi is supposed to be serving the people of the United States, not the FELON. Obviously, the administration is confused about what her role is and she should be dismissed for not serving the people!

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

If Republicans can casually ignore precedent, so can Democrats. Speaker Johnson should not be allowed to stop duly elected representatives from taking office. Please call a press conference on the capitol steps, and swear in Democratic Representative-Elect Adelita Grijalva - NOW.

Please share this far and wide; Adelita Grijalva won the ELECTION 71% to 27%; but Mikey the Johnson is holding up her appointment; because he’s protecting PEDOPREZ! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💙

NEW: For the last several months, I have written and spoken regularly about the rise of authoritarianism in the United States. This is not something I ever envisioned for myself — and it is certainly not something my ancestors envisioned for their great grandchildren.

Trump voters, Is this what you voted for?

I kinda remember Trump pardoning a bunch of people for this, many of whom beat up cops and put them in the hospital. I think they were yelling something about the Vice President as they stormed the building.
