"US Marshal shot during immigration enforcement in LA" * article explains he was shot by an ICE officer whose weapon discharged when he used it to smash a car window

NEW: A Jan. 6 rioter who breached the Senate floor — and was subsequently pardoned by Trump — was arrested Sunday for threatening to assassinate Leader Hakeem Jeffries. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Raskin: I heard speaker Mike Johnson refer to a hate America rally, but that one already happened on January 6th, 2021

Four more amazing protest signs..

The NY Times published an editorial citing Susan Collin as "a moderate Republican." Collins is a reliable vote for Trump's agenda, has voted against democracy at every turn and supported extremist judges. This is why people are abandoning legacy media--even while enjoying games, puzzles & recipes.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

Welcome home to the new Illinois Veterans' Home at Quincy. This was one of the largest and most important projects in our Rebuild Illinois capital construction program. I'm so proud to see that promise in action — and make clear to our veterans that our state is on your side.

"Trump has now pardoned or commuted the sentences of most of the Republican congressmen convicted of felonies in the 21st century...." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

man this guy just sucks

She was legally declared a victim of a crime in a court of law, she was not an "accuser," she was a VICTIM

Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.” By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

I had to go there! 🤭🤭🤭🤭

We currently have a president who is so childishly crude and grotesque that newspapers consider it indecent to accurately describe the video he recently posted, and TV shows think it is indecent to show it. But many Americans are OK that the Oval Office is home to the nation's crassest toddler.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇 Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it. Our new @rollingstone.com piece based on our new book MASTER PLAN. Get the book at LeverNews.com/book

Authoritarianism doesn't happen in a vacuum. It requires enablers. When a leader posts fantasies of monarchical rule, and his entire party looks the other way, they become complicit. The issue isn't just Trump's posts; it's the institutional decay of a party that refuses to be a check on his power.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

Spotify is running ICE ads. I went to cancel on mobile and saw that this isn’t allowed on mobile. They make you cancel on desktop. You think that’s gonna stop me, Spotify? I will erase you and forget you ever existed. THOU SHALT CANCEL SPOTIFY!!!

It was really inspiring to see millions & millions of people going out and being brave and free Acting free and brave is the key to stopping this terrorist in the government Fear will not prevail 👊 Trump was hoping his Gestapo would intimate the public Nope‼️ It did the exact opposite 💚

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

Warnock: We should all be deeply concerned about an American president. who stood in front of our military and said that the real concern is the enemy within They are trying to divide us so that they might rule us, but we join united with one voice

One of my favs

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone. Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care. The system is broken.

Democracy in action, Illinois. Proud of our state for peacefully showing up and speaking out together in one voice to fight back against Donald Trump’s takeover of our democracy.

Jeffrey Epstein had multiple appointments, phone calls and dinners with Matthew Menchel — the Miami U.S. Attorney’s office chief criminal prosecutor who spearheaded Epstein’s sweetheart deal in 2007, newly released documents show.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

An astonishingly large crowd! Chicago

Hasan: The great irony is of course that Donald Trump is the son of an immigrant. The grandson of an immigrant and married to an immigrant. In fact two of his three wives were immigrants, proving yet again that immigrants will do the jobs that even Americans are not willing to do.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

Administration officials are calling peaceful protesters "antifa" and "paid." This is a classic authoritarian tactic: delegitimize dissent. The truth: we are millions of everyday Americans—your neighbors—standing up for democracy. Don't fall for the lies. #NoKings

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

Bring as many American flags to No Kings as you can.

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."
