Senate Republicans blocked a Democrat amendment to block spending $1.0B to refurbish Qatar 747 earlier today 50-46. 😡😡😡

I wouldn’t know, I stopped reading it months ago, when I cancelled my subscription. Don’t miss it. But the Boston Globe did a great series yesterday, something I remember too well: Charles Stuart the murderer and police brutality: a Boston legacy apps.bostonglobe.com/metro/invest...

The Trump administration is offering $60K in student loan forgiveness as a recruitment tool for ICE, which just proves fighting Biden on student loan relief was never about the loans or “paying your own debt.” It was about who was offering it and who it would’ve helped.

they can see the polling

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

This is that "plenary" authority Stephen Miller was referring to in the now edited CNN interview. Arguing that the president's deployment of troops is unreviewable by the courts is arguing that his power is plenary.

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMSHYg91/ Erika Kirk has been accused of sex trafficking Romanian children to US military officials. Allegedly, a deal was cut to keep the Romanian government from prosecuting. Does that sound like Ghislaine Maxwell 2.0 to you? Because it sure does to me.

Don't ignore this. ICE shot a woman after verbally abusing her.

"ICE Barbie Mocked for Claiming Dem Was Tackled Because He ‘Attacked’ Her" She lied, it's caught on video. This happened months ago, why bring it up again and embarrass herself. l.smartnews.com/p-6lSsxFJK/Z...

If ICE agents are willing to shoot a US citizen in broad daylight, as they did with Marimar Martinez in Chicago, imagine what they’re doing to undocumented immigrants. They shot her in front of witnesses & with body cams turned on The horrors facing those disappeared to camps are sure to be worse

This remains the most important piece i’ve written about the goals and ideological principles of the second Trump administration www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc... bsky.app/profile/jame...

If ANY other president had been caught DMing directives for the Attorney General to indict his political enemies it would have been game over. Impeached. Removed. But not Trump. With Donald Trump, it’s just another fucking day ending in Y.

Remember this post? The Wall Street Journal just confirmed it was meant to be a DM to Pam Bondi. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

is this press pool so neutered that no one is going to ask any of these people a normal question

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

The vindictive prosecutions of political enemies are not a distraction from the Epstein files - they’re one and the same: wielding the power of the DoJ to persecute your foes AND to protect your friends.

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

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Man murders his wife while his children are at home. Dudes in the comments: what did she do?

This is obviously cynical and insincere, and using right wing rhetoric like this, or the presence of women and minorities among the right, to delegitimize any efforts at race or gender equality is in fact doing the right wing's job for them.

i think one thing that might save us from authoritarianism is the fact that everything they do in public can be recorded and put on the internet for the entire world to see. unfortunately, AI is very quickly becoming an easy scapegoat, which is probably why they love it so much

Rev. David Black stood in front of a Chicago-area ICE facility and began to pray. The masked ICE agents on the roof responded by firing pepper balls, with one striking him in the head religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Ms. Bondi’s is responsible for her lack of credibility. The gap between her words & behavior, revealing a lack of professionalism & credibility. Her unmerited defensiveness underscores her unfitness for her role; she must be redirected to facts & away from distraction tactics. cont.

The Speaker of the House is refusing to swear in an elected official, leaving an entire district without representation, just to block a vote that would release files on the world’s most notorious pedophile, whom the President once called his best friend. Why isn’t this on every front page?!

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

FBI snagged Sen. Ron Johnson's phone logs in their Jan. 6 probe, eyeing his push for bogus electors to Pence. Now he whines about "shocking" surveillance from the same crew he accuses of threatening democracy. #Jan6

coulda planned better last year by spending the 17 seconds it'd take to suss out Trumps very vocal policies were going to fuck over farmers before you voted for him. guarantee plenty of people told you but you chose to vote with [racist] feelings vs. demonstrable facts. 😢🎻 so boo hoo.

Who would have thought the Chaos President would sow chaos. I notice no farmers are being quoted as disparaging trump in any way. "a tariff war" "don't have any money from USAID" Who started a tariff war? Who destroyed USAID? Who caused your chaos?? Do you even fcking know?

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

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.

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

More than three hours in, Pam Bondi has repeatedly refused to answer questions about her involvement in and knowledge of the forced resignation of Erik Siebert, the former U.S. attorney in eastern Virginia. Siebert was replaced after refusing to prosecute James Comey.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

It’s “states’ rights” if you want to force women to give birth without healthcare, and “states’ rights” if you want to ignore kids getting murdered in schools, but apparently “states’ rights” don’t exist when the president wants to send troops into cities that didn’t vote for him

This is so Bizarre. I’ve had multiple conversations this week with several people about Ellis. He’s the guy that stashed the perfect phone call transcript in a code word classified system. And took over prepub review of Bolton’s book. Now this. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

I am so disgusted. "... as it showed a Border Patrol agent saying to Martinez, “Do something, b----h” before pulling over and shooting her at least five times." www.rawstory.com/body-cam-foo...

"Trump officials can’t keep their mouths shut about DOJ’s biggest prosecutions — putting cases in jeopardy" Defense lawyers keeping all the social media clips and media of the assholes undermining their own cases. 🤣🤣 l.smartnews.com/p-6kKoAigE/W...
