Weird how that Pete Ricketts ad doesn't mention him helping block the release of the Epstein files.

You could literally do it just sitting in front of your computer logged onto social media, like the rest of the country. What value does it add at all to what people already see on their own screens?

Reporting on "conflicting narratives" is the laziest kind of reporting.

Imagine that

Dear @schumer.senate.gov , Do not, under any circumstances, let them out of this crisis they built for themselves.

I don’t know who needs to hear this. But as a former Hulu subscriber, YouTubeTV is a way better live TV app.

Manly men brutalize, terrorize a teen girl

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

NEW: @CDCgov hit hard by massive firings that several staff describe to me as a “bloodbath.” Among those RIFd: —leadership of the center for immunization and respiratory diseases; —leadership of global health center —leadership of the measles outbreak response; 1/4

an incontestable fact of the second trump administration is it is actively trying to sicken and kill as many americans as it can

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

If you look closely, you can see signs of GOP lawmakers fearing the long-term political consequences of paying more attention to Trump's demands than to the voices of their own constituents - or consciences.

New from me at Cato: I go through the numerous and massive First Amendment and academic-freedom violations of Trump's proffered "compact" with universities and then talk about the mechanism by which it would be enforced, by way of what I describe as a "retroactive push-button guillotine."

Be careful out there.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous. This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

It's really sad how people struggling to free or defend their countries, like Zelensky and this woman, have to repeatedly debase themselves in front of this man because there is no longer any responsible leader of the Free World.

I have a lost international @uspostal.bsky.social package for months and was curious what the end result would be. I bet it gets thrown out or just taken, too.

This is 100% correct. No one loves the fact that Trump is basically brain dead more than Stephen Miller

From the bad old site, in response to pro-immigration commentary from Cato scholars. I wonder whether there's something dangerous in letting presidents just arbitrarily declare one or another group to be a terrorist organization -- nah, I suppose that's alarmist.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Big win for Chicago & Democracy today: Partial TRO against Texas Natl Guard deployment here. "U.S. District Judge: “I simply cannot credit declarations to the extent they contradict state and local law enforcement. … DHS’ perception of events are unreliable.” chicago.suntimes.com/live/2025/10...

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.” Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

I guess not quite emboldened enough to ask them to stop terrorizing blue cities and shredding the constitution though huh @schumer.senate.gov ? apple.news/Akm86gEQATPW...

This is what it looks like when one side is about to cave on a shutdown. How do I know? I had a front-row seat as as an aide to the House GOP leadership during the very first shutdown, in the 1995 battle with Clinton. When they get nervous and defensive like this, they're looking for a way out.

Democrats can win this and restore healthcare for millions of Americans.

As soon as I saw this location on the list I assumed it was just because it’s a highly visible location downtown. We all know there’s no legit security need. Almost everything they do is to create social media content and terror.

New observations on the Spurs' preseason win in Miami: open.substack.com/pub/thespotu... - 9-man rotation - Wemby - Keldon - Vassell - Champagnie - Kornet on the offensive glass - Flagler - Waters III - Bryant

Why is the President of the United States trying to communicate with the Attorney General about government business via direct messages on the social media site he owns? And is a direct message on a privately owned social media site kind of like a private email server?

These thirty seconds show a scandal of unbelievable proportion and it might as well never have happened. Just sucked into the vacuum of history immediately. I can't dwell on it or I'll go crazy.

More and more Democrats are calling out the Mad King, you love to see it

Yep @cnn.com is trash journalism. Just like they showed a 30+ year old photo of LA riots on a story about Trump wanting to invoke the insurrection act.

Stephen Miller froze after mentioning “plenary authority.” … but what is plenary authority?

when you are worried that THIS supreme court will rule against you on invoking the insurrection act, a statute that famously gives enormous deference to the president ... maybe that's a sign that your military deployments are pretty baseless

Cool and I'll bet you'll never ever see the story because Sulz will spike it

This is a good explainer by folks doing the work here in Chicago about why Pritzker can't just start ordering the ISP to arrest ICE.

The most important political thread of our time.

The Speaker's default argument is to plead ignorance about things it's his job to know.

"Weiss is a shameless opportunist and troll whose 'expertise' [...] has largely involved trolling everyone left of center for engagement clicks with culture war dogshit and dangerously shoddy reporting, then crying like a full-diapered toddler when people criticize her for being generally terrible."

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

Thing is, Trump openly admitted having these things and claimed they were his to keep. News Nation is a right wing normalization operation. They should not be considered a reputable news network.

File state charges. This is a crime.

As alarmed as people may be, they aren't alarmed enough. Trump just escalated this crisis from a fight between the federal government and a state, to a situation where one state is deploying armed forces to impose its will on another state. www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

that’s this guy getting shot btw

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in. Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators. The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Literally NOTHING Christian about today’s GOP

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.

Using AI to keep watching videos of a dead person is frankly sinister. Just reveals a culture obsessed iwth never moving forward or looking ahead, just wallowing in increasingly degraded and unnatural rehashes of its own memories
