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:

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Tomorrow night at 7:00 PM ET, we’re kicking off Banned Books Week with an important conversation featuring PEN America and authors whose books have been pulled from shelves. We’ll talk “shadow bans,” who’s being targeted, and how this harms our kids’ right to learn. Sign up ⬇️

This Election Day may seem unimportant because there are no “big” offices on the ballot but many states hold their nonpartisan municipal elections in off years. Races for city council, school boards, county judgeships are VITALLY important to the day to day functions of your community! Participate!

Trump’s order to deploy Texas National Guard troops to Chicago is illegal, immoral, and must be stopped by the courts. ICE is already wreaking havoc in our communities. Let’s call this what it is: an invasion by out-of-state troops coming here only with the purpose of tormenting Chicagoans.

The current situation in Portland. Overrun by migrants who are being harbored by librarians and unemployed Civil Service types.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Supreme Court allows Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve governor for now.

I just watched the CNBC interview with Tesla designer, Franz von Holzhausen. No news and no change to the Tesla roadmap. How anyone can invest in this company baffles me. Short this pig into the ground... $TSLA $TSLAQ

Today’s Star Tribune coverage is a reminder that this race is not binary. No matter where you fall on our city’s political spectrum, you have a place here with us. Pragmatic or progressive, Humphrey or Wellstone, there’s a seat at this table for everyone ready to build the Minneapolis we believe in.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

25th Amendment NOW. Anything less is treason.

Saw a billboard for sunscreen that said it was "the first sunscreen without poison" and it's truly infuriating how irresponsible that is. USE SUNSCREEN. Some sunscreen is better than other sunscreen but ALL SUNSCREEN ARE BETTER THAN NO SUNSCREEN.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

The State of Illinois is closely monitoring the federal deployments in the Village of Broadview. Public safety is always my top priority, and the Illinois State Police remains in close communication with the Broadview Police Department to monitor and maintain public safety.

ICE just chased everyone off the public road by the Broadview facility. They yelled for people to move and immediately began firing gas into the crowd, which included legal observers, press, and medics.

Jimmy Kimmel's worst case scenario was moving from prime time to a podcast. Mario Guevara's is being shipped to El Salvador and facing more of the persecution he fled 20 years ago. If that happens, the chilling effect will be impossible to measure.

This incident in Katy, Texas has been shown to be an accident involving illegal hunting on a nearby property. Yet this is how DHS describes it. And that description was amplified by Fox News reporter Bill Melugin. Second pic unrelated.

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

It is really funny that Jimmy Kimmel Live showed more moral fortitude and adherence to a system of values than Columbia University

Terry Moran: If it hadn't been caught on camera-and if so many of you here and on other platforms had not raised your voices in defense of common decency—guaranteed this man would still be on duty brutalizing people. How many more are abusing the authority that ICE badge gives them?

Unions stand with people of NSW against Santos and 850 gas wells to be drilled through water table in pristine Pilliga forest! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Kimmel won. Winning matters, wins are how we’re going to prevent this autocratic slide.

The rules have changed. Mike Johnson wants to wait until the official results come in October 14th to swear in Grijalva.

We just received more Epstein files. More proof the corruption runs deep. No matter your title, wealth, or political party, if you're complicit in abusing or silencing women and girls, we will hold you to account. We're going to keep fighting for justice and transparency. ⬇️

BREAKING: Per MSNBC, Nexstar has ALSO CAVED and will stop preempting Jimmy Kimmel Live! Way to go, everyone!

The US and Canada scrambled fighter jets to identify and intercept four Russian fighter jets planes off Alaska, it is ninth time in 2025 that NORAD has had to intercept Russian fighters jets doing practice runs on the US and Canada.

I’m proud to partner with other Arizona law enforcement agencies to bring awareness to the issue of Arizonans who have gone missing. We hope the event will connect Arizonans with resources and support to find their long-term missing loved ones. hoodline.com/2025/09/ag-k...

DHS subpoenaed Meta for information about an account that posts names and images of the ICE agents raiding our communities, but @aclu-norcal.bsky.social and advocates are pushing back. Recording federal agents while on duty in public — and sharing that information — is our First Amendment right.

It’s not even a swearing contest. Both McCabe and Comey agree: They DID NOT discuss the leak before the article published. McCabe has said *he* authorized it, not Comey. Their recollections diverge on whether McCabe told Comey that he had authorized the leak AFTER the article published.

I miss my 50-year streak of not knowing who the Secretary of Health is or anything about them.

🚂🔥 Smolensk (Russia), fuel train!

This is what unity looks like.

Because this administration thinks everyone believes the rules only matter when it helps “your side” (like they do), they are counting on Comey’s unpopularity to normalize this. Don’t let it. Whatever you think of him or his actions in the past, etc. this indictment is dangerous and an outrage.

Aw isn't this cute, well done to whoever did this btw
