CHICAGO Mayor Brandon Johnson on Trump calling for him to be jailed: “This president is unstable, unhinged, a threat to our democracy.”

Republicans are fighting to ensure that Americans in Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and a raft of other red states pay DOUBLE what they paid before for healthcare.

Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

We at The Steady State have studied the indicators of authoritarianism for decades — usually dry words in intelligence reports. But sometimes, a single photograph says it all. Authoritarianism doesn’t arrive all at once. It creeps in under cover of “order,” cloaked in uniforms, justified by fear.

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

“I’m proud to be one of US… I’m ready to fight for US… the 🇺🇸 House of Representatives must be centered on US…” MEMPHIS Rep. @Justinjpearson’s campaign for Congress launch video👇🏽 (which mentions #MedicareForAll as a policy priority 🏆 )

Let's talk about the Texas National Guard in Chicago.

Last night, my team filed a motion to defend voters in California. DOJ sued 8 states. My firm has filed to protect voters in all 8 states. We will never back down from the fight to protect free and fair elections.

Canada vs. America

It's urgent now! We need focus on how to remove a man who has completely lost his mind before he starts using nuclear weapons against our cities. He's batshit crazy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

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.

Greg Abbott sends the elite Meal Team 6 from the Texas National Guard into Illinois.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant. No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Wanna learn more about the pastor in this photo? I talked to him yesterday. He's currently part of a lawsuit against DHS, in part due to this exact moment: religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

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.

I don't understand why I see things so differently. I see a health insurance industry that thinks it's entitled to charge people 1/3rd of their income for healthcare. That industry shouldn't be "fixed." It should be burned to the ground and its ashes pissed on.

Reports from October 2025 indicate that some Chicago businesses have refused service to agents from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The decision by these private establishments comes in the wake of a city executive order and intensified immigration enforcement in the region.

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* 🤷🏼‍♀️

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..” @theguardian.com www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW The Epstein flight network just got a lot bigger. A new analysis by Zalingo Data Refinery uncovered 2,348 additional connections to Epstein’s island across 5,253 flight records (1995–2007) — bringing the total to nearly 5,000 flights linked to that island. 🧵 ⬇️

Blumenthal to Bondi: "He has been transparent. In fact, 5 days before the indictment of Comey, he put this post up as instructions to you. He didn't mince words. He was very open & public that you should indict Comey and&others because they are 'guilty as hell, no more delay, now.' 5 days before"

Green power is sometimes the cheapest power — despite what Trump says. The Trump administration has targeted renewable energy for driving up electricity prices, but our analysis shows states that are growing their wind and solar power typically have lower power costs.

I agree.

Democrats are just better people than Republicans.

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit. Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages. If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Roses are Reddish Violets are Blueish Nothing Rhymes with Release the Epstein Files

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Taking control of cities is about taking control of the elections. Truth 💣 from @govpritzker.illinois.gov

REPUBLICANS: [Committing, aiding, and abetting uncivil acts of fascism.] LIBERALS: "You are fascists." REPUBLICANS: "How uncivil of you to say that. Where is your civility?"

These are the "law enforcement" tactics federal agents are using in Chicago. Their car is obstructed by a moped so they tear gas the entire neighborhood. Unacceptable in America.

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️
