UPDATE: More donors funding the demolition of the East Wing for Trump's $250M ballroom have been identified

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

😕 We are all paying for this vanity project

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

Absolutely outrageous!! 😡

Adelita Grijalva: "There is so much that cannot be done until I'm sworn in. So every moment that passes that I'm not able to provide constituent services or be a voice for Arizona, I cannot bring the issues forward that they send me here to do."

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

The NYT is reporting that Donald Trump is demanding $230 Million from the DOJ for past cases against him. That means...he's suing us. Because that's who would pay for it.

Mamdani is already getting the criminals out of NYC!

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

According to TMZ (so take that how you will), Trump is considering commuting Sean Diddy Combs’ sentence as early as this week.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase. The President is building an army to attack his own country.

Mike Johnson has given the house a very very very very very very very very very long vacation because he’s worried about the Epstein files

Fox News star Laura Ingraham spent years railing against the purported corruption caused by Hunter Biden's business interests. Now she’s going into business with Donald Trump Jr.

A lot of wealthy and powerful people helped Epstein fund his sex trafficking operation. The American people deserve to know who they are. Secretary Bessent, like his boss, is covering it up. I’m going to keep following the money. Stay tuned.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

The "Danger Zone" singer is asking for his performance to be deleted from a fake "King Trump" video that the president posted to Truth Social on Saturday. n.pr/4hoFl54

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Pedro Pascal was spotted at the LA No Kings protest with the best sign there.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

Ran into Ted Cruz at the airport and called him out for his BS lies and shutting the government down

DC J6: 1.500 arrests DC No Kings: zero Tell me again which side is violent?

I hope each and every one of the fascists who rule this country read this and choke.

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Purdue to the rescue of IU student newspaper, whose institution was attempting censorship. Details in alt!

No Kings in Madison, Wisconsin:

MADISON WI - MPD estimates 15,000; no arrests, and No Kings.

The 105 House Republicans who condemned George Santos and voted to expel him from Congress are strangely silent about Trump springing him from prison after a very short stint. They are all terrified of King Donald.

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

When will Chicago police say, "Enough?" www.cnn.com/2025/10/16/p...

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring. Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

It's d̶e̶b̶a̶t̶e̶ bingo night in NYC! And since Andrew Cuomo rarely has anything new to say, the odds are in your favor. Download/print a board nd follow along starting at 7 p.m. on NBC 4 New York, Telemundo 47 and their digital platforms. zohranfornyc.com/bingo

It's been 23 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Mike Johnson: "Many of you have asked all of us, 'How does it end?' We have no idea."

Mamdani: "I just want to speak directly to the president. I will not be a mayor like Mayor Adams who will call you to stay out of jail. I won't be a disgraced governor like Andrew Cuomo who will call you to ask how to win this election. I can do those things on my own."

Insurance rates up $2000. Food benefits cut off. Farmers unable to sell their crops. Skyrocketing national debt. $40 billion to Argentina. America First!

whoever did this little bit of magnificence, take a bow

So like this is funnier and more offensive than anything anyone else said about Kirk that got them fired

Trump at the Charlie Kirk memorial event: "They fired sniper rifles at ICE agents, and me. But I made a turn at a good time. I made a turn at a good time. Charlie couldn't believe it, actually."

Not that anybody comes to me for Maine politics, but the fact that the Democrats successfully convinced a 77yo Governor to primary the 41yo progressive, is today's example of why the Democrats fucking stay failing. Susan Collins is 72 and if Schumer gets his way, she'll be the YOUNGER choice!

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him over his description of the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors. https://to.pbs.org/42GD5jw
