ICE GOONS are harassing two 15-year-old boys on bicycles in Chicago.

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members. They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

Trump just used the shutdown to wipe out the special ed department. www.usatoday.com/story/news/e...

really striking the degree to which not a single person working in the trump administration appears to be interested in serving the american people

EXCLUSIVE: Sources tell NPR that more than 100 employees have been laid off at the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Agency. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had some cuts reversed late Saturday.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink. While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief. We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

Trump and Epstein did it together.

If you’re a woman in America, you should know this is what they’re talking about… youtu.be/3ujc2JfiMRs

Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America. And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

I want a president who cares more about Chicago and Portland than about Qatar and Argentina. Trump’s “America First” slogan is a sick joke.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties. Hello? Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party. Enough of the false equivalence.

FFS. When is someone going to stop this GD family from the nonstop grift?

TikTok had to agree to any Trump demand because The Trump Regime controls their fate. It’s the most public, brazen Quid pro quo ever. Barron is only 19. It’s cute that republicans once made a big deal out of investigating Hunter Biden for selling a couple of paintings. www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

The president of the United States says he "deserved a cut"...

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

If James visits the home regularly then it is available to her for personal use, which means it is not a “rental investment property” as defined by the mortgage rider…and therefore negates the central claim of the indictment

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Biden-to-Trump voter on National Guard deployment in American cities: "I was in the Army and I didn't sign up for that. I signed up to fight enemies of the United States, and my fellow Americans are not my enemy." @eggerdc.bsky.social joins @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social on this week's Focus Group:

I’m old enough to remember the $21M Trump Seven Springs Estates conservation easement tax crime.

When Trump team pushed to investigate Soros, it cited a watchdog group report. But the group's own leader says "we actually did not make either of those claims that a prosecutor would need to make.” @fahrenthold.bsky.social @aduehren.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

I am honestly unsure at this point if the government will ever open back up in its previous form. The RIFs coupled with what will likely be massive nationwide protests on the 18th is, I think, going to push Miller and co. into trying to create an alternate structure to consolidate more power.

There are reports that the *entire* office of special education at the US Dept of Education has been cut. These hardworking folks ensure kids with disabilities get equal access to a quality education. America’s children deserve better than this.

Meanwhile the White House just illegally laid off dozens of CDC researchers and scientists during the shutdown.

It's official: -2025 is now a more threatening year for the survival of the republic than 1968. -John Roberts will now go down in history as a worse chief justice than Roger "Dred Scott" Taney. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Colorado AG Phil Weiser (D) is calling on Coloradans to turn out en masse for Oct 18 demonstrations against President Trump’s use of the military in American cities. “Don’t be afraid,” Weiser said. “Don’t be afraid to show up.” #copolitics

Important piece by Prof. Kate Andrias. This is why treating SCOTUS as the only word on the Constitution gives away our power as citizens. As I frequently say “we are founders and framers” of the next iteration of democracy in this country. GIFT LINK www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/o...

Trump is using unmerited criminal prosecutions & unnecessary National Guard deployments to push autocracy But the courts are pushing back I explain why he will fail in my NEW @contrariannews.org Publisher's Roundup 👇 -TN contrarian.substack.com/p/donald-tru...

The guy who illegally accrued over $5 billion this year by abusing his power is prosecuting a black woman for getting a $50 a month discount on a loan.

“YOU hit HER.” CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

The ease with which officials lie in 2025 is honestly terrifying

Remember when Trump stole classified documents and then showed Kid Rock? Fucking KID ROCK was “looking at maps and shit” —

RFK Jr. and Russell Vought force layoffs at the CDC.

Uh you think so? And the indicting GJ never heard her testimony. “Ms. Thompson’s testimony that she has lived in the house rent-free —Ms. James pays even for basic upkeep, — cd make it difficult for prosecutors to convince a jury that the house was meant to be used as a rental investment property.”

This is important exculpatory evidence bc the indictment accuses James of seeking a “second home” mortgage when in reality she intended to use it as an “investment” home by renting it out. (James disclosed between $1,000-5,000 in rent during 1st year, but the contract allowed short term rentals.)

Kid Rock complaining about other people’s get-ups is quite rich.

Number of days since Republicans shut down the government to carry out their Project 2025 agenda and protect the Epstein files: Eleven.

More than 5,000 federal employees have received layoff notices. We’re working to ensure that the administration isn’t using state voter rolls to target registered Democrats for termination. More details soon.

They are building a Propaganda State. They are cooking the books on job creation. Now they are rigging death numbers so no one knows how many people die because of their attacks on vaccines and science.

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday. Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he’s not allowed to speak to him “by law” and another says “We’ve arrested American citizens for being too close…If he gets any closer, put him in cuffs.”

Per NYT, Trump is trying to criminalize being generous, which I can understand if you're Trump but may not work out. Under rules, Tish James could do short term rental in first year. She did (and made <$5K). Then her great niece has lived there, rent free. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Heads-up. Share this everywhere. ICE has created a fake "Stop Ice" app. They're trying to ensnare people to enter their information, so they can go after them. Do NOT use stopice./org. #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

More judges speak to the press (the NYT) about what a disaster the Supreme Court (specifically the shadow docket) has been - “incredibly demoralizing & troubling”; a “judicial crisis”; a “slap in the face to district courts.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...
