NEW: Comey is going to file selective and vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss AND he will challenge the legality of Halligan’s appointment! There’s more, too… so glad @annabower.bsky.social is there to bring us the whole story! Thread below with details:

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority"—would give Trump absolute power to deploy the National Guard where he wants. This is why they’re lying about the situation in our cities and provoking violence. Miller spilled their fascist takeover intentions aloud. Don’t take the bait.

Just go ahead and delete article 1 entirely while you’re at it.

“No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”

Something not fully appreciated in the Riyadh comedy festival discourse is that in many ways Saudi Arabia is getting *more* repressive www.thenation.com/article/worl...

Watching so many people in high places go through the motions of polling and median-voter whispering can make you feel like you're in Bodysnatchers. It's worth a reminder that the typical experience of tyranny is...basically normal life. Which means we have to will ourselves to fight harder.

So this is funny. The administration just issued a rule slashing foreign agricultural worker wages. And to justify it, in a public filing, Trump's Labor Department alleges that Trump's immigration enforcement has devastated the Ag workforce and caused a "risk of supply shock-induced food shortages."

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

i think it is cool that a government run by fanatical bigots is on track to plunge the economy into a mountain and cause a food crisis

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

when the people who shuttered USAID learn of a diabetic single mother and her disabled son starving to death 9,000 miles away because of aid cuts, they don't see failure or dereliction or tragedy, but rather success: the people they view as unworthy of life are dying

Rev. Kardon said she has been shot multiple times w/ pepper bullets by ICE agents, even during a prayer vigil outside the Broadview facility. “I am praying for all of the people inside to be returned to their communities,” she said. “... These are our community members, and they are being stolen.”

I met Samantha after Trump’s agents took her mom off the street yesterday, which she confirmed by watching video we showed her. “She looks ready to cry… she wanted to go to the store. She wanted to make some albondigas which is basically a meatball stew” youtu.be/9dx266qOOic?...

A federal judge in Chicago extended restrictions on ICE's warrantless arrests until February 2026, finding that the agency violated a settlement agreement by arresting 22 people without warrants.

I’m proud to announce that @americasvoice.bsky.social is partnering with Remezcla Media Group and leading Latino outlets to bring trusted Spanish-language content on immigration. Together, we’ll share real facts and a vision for a better way forward for immigrants and America.

The Trump administration says immigration enforcement is "unchanged" during the shutdown. "But at least one team at ICE isn’t going into work: the Office of Detention Oversight, which inspects detention centers to ensure they meet federal standards for the safe and humane treatment of immigrants."

Oh — new reporting on Pope Leo from El Paso Matters, citing footage they have of yesterday's meeting. Sounds like the pope was even *more* forceful in urging U.S. bishops to speak out about immigration than first reported. I mean, that's…not subtle. elpasomatters.org/2025/10/08/e...

"While new moms worry about formula for their infants and furloughed federal workers stress about next month’s rent or mortgage, the administration’s mass deportation obsession will continue uninterrupted," writes @tusk81.bsky.social This says everything about this administration’s priorities.

As the Trump administration prepares to deploy Texas National Guard troops in Chicago against the wishes of the local community and elected officials, Stephen Miller has asserted that President Trump’s power is limitless. americasvoice.org/press_releas...

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

In a few days, you may be notified that your health insurance premiums will double, because of Republican cuts to health care. Democrats are fighting to change that before it's too late.
