Some big implications for journalism, too, where reporters often mistake trending posts as a reasonable reflection of public opinion.

A 79-year-old Van Nuys car wash owner — who is a U.S. citizen — has filed a federal civil rights claim seeking $50 million after he says he was violently body slammed and pinned by federal agents during an ICE immigration raid at his business on September 9.

From what I’ve heard listening to multiple people who seem to know some things (check out Anne Applebaum), 2026 is going to be the big one. Dems lose that, it’s over. We need massive turnout to counter any shady shit. Unfortunately this country has a voting problem. Very few us do it.

Jon Ossoff just spoke directly to me and my despair. Thank you, Senator.

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

They rush when they want to rush and they slow walk when they want to slow walk and it’s an ideological decision always in either direction.

If you want to understand this Trump administration's rampant corruption ... you have to go back to Eric Adams, and how they made the case against him disappear. I got a bunch of new details on this deep dive for @nytimes.com ... www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

I obviously had… low expectations for this year once the election was called but i honestly think the first moment I Knew how screwed we were — as a nation, our politics, or democratic health, our media — was the trump doj Eric Adams scandal just came & went, like it was another thing in the news

REMINDER: James Comey's daughter, Maurene Comey, who was one of the lead attorneys that prosecuted Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, was wrongfully terminated from the DOJ just one week before Todd Blanche cozily met with Maxwell. Now, her father is being vindictively prosecuted by Trump.

🚨💔🚨 Nothing about this makes anything about this country decent, trustworthy, or honorable. This is depraved. 1/2

A 1st Amendment four-alarm fire: The United States is trying to deport a longtime Atlanta journalist who was arrested while reporting at a No Kings protest. @pressfreedom.bsky.social says ICE is detaining & targeting him for deportation "in direct retaliation" for his reporting on immigration.

Imagine if the shooter killed an ICE agent but Democrats insisted that he was anti-migrant.

BREAKING via @aclunm.bsky.social — ALBUQUERQUE, NM – A federal judge today ordered the immediate release of Paulo Cesar Gamez Lira, a 27-year-old DACA recipient and father of four U.S. citizen children who was unlawfully detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for 42 days.

In the midst of all the Trump administration’s casual law-breaking, financial corruption, self-inflicted humiliations in international forums and artificial political crises, this Brianna Sacks story about spectacular mismanagement at FEMA could fly under the radar. [gift link] wapo.st/46BGTDU

This summer, I wrote about Paul Dama, a Boko Haram survivor and award-winning restaurant manager who had been detained by ICE. Yesterday, after 3+ months in custody, Paul was granted asylum (!!) He's still in detention - DHS has until Oct 23 to appeal.

🚨BREAKING: The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus brief Wednesday in a redistricting case, arguing that the U.S. Supreme Court should significantly weaken the power of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) to block racial gerrymanders. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

JEFFRIES: “Republicans have clearly demonstrated they want to shut the government down… they have refused to have a single conversation with Democrats… Trump agreed to a meeting, then woke up the next morning and went on an unhinged rant and canceled it…”

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Evergreen HS shooter Desmond Holly was radicalized online, embracing white supremacist symbols and violent forums like WatchPeopleDie. ADL notes at least 3 recent school shooters used the site, linking extremist content to rising youth-driven attacks. www.adl.org/resources/ar...

This young man ran through the halls of Evergreen High School to warn everyone of the shooter and was shot in the face. He’s got a long road ahead and needs support. gofund.me/40408f07c

The absolutely predictable thing that will happen is that lots of Dems will denounce the violence at the ICE facility in a way that largely did not occur with the attack on the CDC among Republicans. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It is too early to know what motivated the shooter in Dallas, but it is not sustainable for government officials to selectively emphasize that some forms of political violence are bad, but others barely merit a mention. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

Why is this happening? I’ll explain. If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households. But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

Ah, well, nevertheless.

Oh dear. It seems Dr. Oz’s company sells Trump‘s big autism cure. What a crazy happenstance.

This one does make some sense

News/updates like this should reach a much wider audience. Or they will become voiceless and disappear into a spiral of silence. Don't let this happen. Elevate/support this as much as we're fighting for the release of the #EpsteinFiles. 🙏💙 english.elpais.com/usa/2025-09-...

SCOTUS is going to hear a case on whether to overturn a 1935 decision that blocked presidents from firing independent regulators based on policy (or personal) disagreements alone. This is on top of SCOTUS allowing Trump to fire the FTC commissioner, so you can see where this is going.

Trump had his accounts suspended on January 7, 8, and 9th 2020. WHEN HE WAS STILL PRESIDENT. It was not Joe Biden because Biden was not President.

Not a single honest person in this entire administration. Not one. Prove me wrong.

Donald Trump and top administration officials confidently assert that left-wing political violence is a huge problem in the United States. They’re wrong, say researchers who study extremism.

Border Czar Tom Homan was caught by the FBI accepting bribes - on camera - to deliver government contracts in exchange for $50,000 in cash. Pam Bondi knew. Kash Patel knew. Emil Bove knew. And they made the investigation go away. A corrupt attempt to conceal brazen graft.

If the Obamacare tax credits are allowed to lapse, around 4 million people are projected to lose coverage starting in 2026, & prices would go up for around 20 million. The CBO projected that 10 million more Americans would become uninsured by 2034 as a result of the health cuts in the new tax law.

Important piece here. Democrats should investigate this fully. Bring Carr for hearings. He is openly publicizing how he apparently broke the law and used the FCC on behalf of Trump to exort ABC. newrepublic.com/article/2006...

Stephen Colbert: "FCC Chair and individually wrapped hard-boiled egg that they sell at the airport, Brendan Carr...is telling [ABC] to punish Kimmel or else. It feels to me like shutting down this kind of speech represents a serious threat to our freedoms."

This is the whole ball game, gang.
