Elon Musk and Stephen Miller both tweeted against judges today. A South Carolina judge's house burned down and almost killed her family.

We must now start calling this what it is: Trump’s Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state’s military troops.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.

​I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.

I visited the apartment building ICE raided on Tuesday today. Story to come, but you can walk right in. Half of the apartments have no doors on them. Children's stuff abandoned in some flats. *Citizen* residents told me they were arrested and held for hours in zipties. This is America

Everyone who disagrees with me is a terrorist, says the man who insists he isn't a fascist.

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!

If you showed this tweet to James Madison, he would be like, "yes, this is why I wrote the 2nd Amendment"

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

BREAKING: A federal judge says there is a realistic likelihood that the prosecution of Kilmar Abrego Garcia was driven by vindictive motives — reflected in the public statements of Bondi, Blanche, Noem et al. He has ordered discovery on the question. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Russ is absolutely faint from the constant raging boner he's getting about hurting people he hates.

One thing that the Cracker Barrel Meltdown of 2025 made very clear to me is that even if the whole world suddenly agreed to use binary gender pronouns they’d just get mad about something else. The outrage is what feeds them.

The Republicans could end this shutdown by negotiating a decrease to your rising health insurance premiums. They don’t want to do that because that premium increase will pay for their tax cut for rich people.

Federal agents are overtly abusing their power to try to intimidate advocates and elected officials. We need ICE out of Illinois immediately and justice for people like Ald. Jessie Fuentes who are defending their communities. blockclubchicago.org/2025/10/03/f...

"Johnson said he was left tied up outside the building for nearly three hours. 'I asked [agents] why they were holding me if I was an American citizen, and they said I had to wait until they looked me up. I asked if they had a warrant and I asked for a lawyer. They never brought one.'"

GUARD IN MEMPHIS: The TN Supreme Court & a federal court have both ruled it is unconstitutional for TN’s governor to deploy the National Guard for law enforcement. In 2021, TN’s GOP Attorney General wrote an advisory saying the same. It was so damning, the new AG secretly erased it from record!

We've had fuckups in the White House before, but never a president who seemed so deliberately intent on being a fuckup. It's been said before, but if these people were actual agents of an enemy power seeking to divide, dismantle and destroy the USA they wouldn't be doing anything different.

This isn’t just unconstitutional, it would be anti-Constitutional.

They dismembered a journalist. I think Chapelle thinks free speech means people have to laugh at unfunny jokes.

Matthew 15:29-31: And great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them after verifying their citizenship status.

CBS News will now be a megaphone for the country's most vicious crusader against free speech, and the most relentless propagandist of far-right disinformation. Cancel Paramount Plus, call every CBS advertiser until their only remaining ads are for MyPillow and Daily Stormer.

These people hate our country. They hate Americans and have declared war on our constitution and freedoms. They should repent and resign

I always pay attention to what stories People Magazine and other consumer media outlets cover. That's how you can tell that something has broken through the usual political and news bubbles. This horrific Chicago story has broken through. people.com/ice-agents-o...

Zip tie cuffs are incredibly painful, by the way

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Holy hell. DHS just openly stated that its agents use “reasonable suspicion” to make ARRESTS. This is blatantly unconstitutional. The Supreme Court is clear that you need probable cause to arrest someone, as opposed to stop them to ask them a question or two. This is huge b/c…

They can call it whatever they want, but by setting up a "Unified Command" to handle crowd control at Broadview, the Cook County Sheriffs and the Illinois State Police are performing security work for ICE—something that is not supposed to happen in this state.

Crockett: "What assurances do we have if we entered into an agreement with these Republicans that they wouldn't go back on their word and just say, 'Oh yeah, we'll sign off on a rescissions package'"

Rep. Sam Liccardo on how long the shutdown will last: "As long as it takes to ensure that when the government reopens it's a government that actually serves Americans are reduces the cost of living."

If you complain about being beaten we will beat you harder

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen to Fox & Friends host Lawrence Jones: "In New Hampshire we do not provide health insurance for illegal immigrants, we have never done that, and you are just wrong."

It strikes me that the administration increasingly sound like abusers, e.g., “you brought this on yourself, you’re making me do this, you’re forcing me into this position, I take no pleasure in it, it’s on you to change if you want to prevent (me from doing) further harm.”

“I have no idea what Project 2025 is.” - Trump, October 31, 2024

Why can't one of these guys just say something like: "Yes, I'm a Republican. But more importantly, I'm an American and a human being. And what the President has (posted/said/done) is simply wrong." I mean, what is the worst that could happen? They regain some dignity??

"On Monday, Google paid a $24.5 million bribe to President Trump. The bag of cash was euphemistically described as a 'legal settlement,' but in this dangerous political moment we do ourselves no favors with polite obfuscation."

Jeffries: In that Oval Office meeting, which lasted over an hour, the amount of time spent talking about health insurance for undocumented immigrants was less than 10 seconds. You know why? Because they know it’s a lie. They didn’t even bother to bring it up—because the cameras weren’t rolling.

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Q: How did the White House decide it was appropriate for Jared Kushner to be working on matters that involve Qatar, the UAE, Saudi Arabia -- 3 countries combined that have given him more than $2.5b LEAVITT: It's frankly despicable that you're trying to suggest that it's inappropriate

i'm guessing this is for his buddies who have been accused of war crimes or blatant racism

The headline here is “Hegseth announces changes that will protect domestic abusers in the military.” Even though this is incontestably true, no news organization will use this headline, because telling the truth is deemed impermissible if the truth hurts the right too much

this shit is so cringe. Pete Hegseth took us from “speak softly and carry a big stick” to “boast drunkenly and hit your wife”

“Reign” is not the word to use for a sovereign people.

I hope it's clear to everyone now that Trump really is going for it - he's trying to become a dictator. I don't know if he'll succeed, but he's working to install himself as an autocrat unaccountable to voters. And he's weaponizing the military against Americans who oppose him as part of that effort

Trump on drug prices: "You're talking about 1,400%, 1,500%, 1,600% reductions in some cases."

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

people were worried about a behind the scenes loyalty test and once again they get around outrage by just doing the thing right out in the open

Hegseth: The military is for killing people and breaking things. No more rules of engagement. Trump: I’ll be sending the military into U.S. cities.

Trump: "I think something that's gonna allow us to make a lot of progress is the money we're spending on pharmaceuticals. We'll be saying 1,000%. Nobody has ever heard of that."

Trump, who is numerically illiterate -- listen to this clip to see what I mean -- benefits immensely from the numerical illiteracy of the American public
