Members of the GOP openly calling for a "cleansing."

Trump very clearly stated what he would do when given the chance. People like this are admitting they didn't listen. The question is, okay, now that you acknowledge this, what will you do to help fix the problem?

We wanted to understand Democratic Socialists of America. So we talked to two old guys who voted for Trump. (Yes, this is literally the article.)

The public cannot stay silent in the face of such reckless and authoritarian conduct by the President of the United States.

After a federal court blocked his attempt to federalize the Oregon National Guard, Donald Trump is deploying 300 California National Guard personnel into Oregon. They are on their way there now. We are taking this fight back to court.

Sacramento Bee - President Trump sends 300 California National Guard troops to Oregon, defying a court order blocking him from deploying Oregon's own National Guard to patrol Portland. www.sacbee.com/news/politics-...

Oh the hypocrisy 🙄 … and Jesus wept.

Journalists in Portland: Try to get photos of gas canisters/munitions, either spent on ground or still carried by DHS. ONLY IF SAFE. Use long lens. Risks unknown, don’t approach. This green smoke isn’t super common. Raised concerns in 2020. Documenting DHS munitions may help accountability later.

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

@govpritzker.illinois.gov 37 and Kedzie, East Garfield, Illinois. This is assault.

History repeats.

Federal officer blasts chemical spray into vocal but nonviolent Portland protester, video shows The interaction illustrates how federal law enforcement officers do use aggressive tactics against protesters who yell and needle officers but don’t appear to present clear physical threats.

The messages show high-level officials in the Trump administration discussing the possible deployment of the Army’s 82nd Airborne Division, an infantry force that has dropped into combat zones in both World Wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds that there is evidence Kilmar Abrego was VINDICTIVELY PROSECUTED. The judge GRANTS Abrego's motion for discovery and a hearing, and the government must now PROVE it did not vindictively prosecute Mr. Abrego. 1/

The highest court in the Netherlands ordered the Dutch government to reevaluate its currently suspended license for exporting parts for F-35 fighter jets to Israel in response to concerns they could be used in breaches of international law.

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

A low speed collision between two Endeavor Air CRJ-900s this evening in New York. #DL5155 was taxiing for departure while #DL5047 was taxiing to the terminal. Based on photos from the scene, DL5155 is now missing much of its right wing. flightradar24.com/multiview/3c...

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

Department of Homeland Security is cutting over $187 million or 86% of homeland security funding to New York State which will radically defund NYPD, FDNY, and NY State Police terrorism programs, according to a letter from New York Governor Kathy Hochul to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem.

Dear @apnews.com The republicans control congress. Democrats did not vote down anything. If the GOP wanted to fund the government, they could have changed the rules to pass a CR with a simple majority like they did 11 days ago to approve 48 trump appointees at once. Fix your headline.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

Brits being contrarian (again). Norway has had this for years and I can tell you 1) it simplifies everything from online banking to gov services enormously & 2) it is less of a threat to privacy because data are kept properly in one place instead of in tens of different places with varying security

In Putin-era Russia, state encroachment in the media eventually led to a culture of self-censorship, in which outright bans or other repressive measures were relatively rare. Is the U.S. headed down a similar path?

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

The Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) has been disconnected from the Ukrainian electricity grid for a record 120 hours, while Russia attempts to restart the nuclear reactors, Greenpeace Ukraine told the Kyiv Independent on Sept. 29.

Do not fucking cave on trans rights, Dems.

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Portlanders — show off your corner of war-ravaged Portland below.

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The South Korean Ministry of Defense has awarded medals of merit to 11 officers for disobeying direct orders of superiors during the martial law fiasco, orders that they deemed to be contrary to the constitution and endangerment to democracy. www.chosun.com/english/nati...

The democrats are not bringing a knife to a gun fight, they are hearing about a gun fight and deciding that they will condemn it from afar in no uncertain terms and hope the man with the gun never gets any closer to them.

War-ravaged Portland

Quinnipiac in recent poll asked: Do you think that the way people talk about politics these days is contributing to violence in the United States, or don't you think so? 82% of voters agreed with this including majority of Dems, Independents, and GOP. I said basically this and got fired.

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Trump: "We've got a lot of stupid people in this country running things."

Lawgeeks, Kilmar Abrego Garcia's reply filing in support of his motion to dismiss the criminal case in Tennessee for vindictive and selective prosecution is an excellent, powerful (and short) read. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The same prick who gives me a headache every day now wants to outlaw Tylenol.

So far this year, more than 4.3 million COVID cases have been reported in the U.S., causing 301,585 hospitalizations and 18,717 deaths.

Donald Trump: Charlie Kirk "did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them. That's where I disagree with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don't want the best for them." In 2023, Kirk called for the execution of Joe Biden.

Bearing your cross is a lot easier with wheels.

this charlie kirk deification is some of the weirdest shit i have ever seen

2. The FBI and the Justice Department planned to wait to see whether Homan would deliver on his alleged promise once he became the nation’s top immigration official. But the Trump administration closed the investigation.

1. BREAKING In an undercover operation last year, the FBI recorded Tom Homan, now the White House border czar, accepting $50,000 in cash after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration.
