It’s typically standard practice for attorneys to avoid commenting on issues they are litigating for fear of prejudicing those cases. But DOJ Civil Rights Division head Harmeet Dhillon is departing from tradition, instead opting to own the libs online. https://bit.ly/4okeA47

Mike Johnson called us back from July 4 recess on 7/3 so he could gut Americans’ healthcare in the Big Ugly bill. Since then, he has only had the House in session for 19 of the subsequent 104 days. That’s how we ended up here.

The propaganda spewing from Trump's departments and agencies blaming Democrats for the government shutdown is blatantly illegal. We have the Hatch Act for a reason. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-trump-regime-is-wildly-violating

🚨TODAY: The Voting Rights Act is on trial. SCOTUS is hearing Louisiana v. Callais: a case that could let states gerrymander Black voters out of power. If the Court signs off, it won’t stop in Louisiana. It becomes the playbook for silencing Black voters in every GOP-run state.

Trump’s ideal America: Women are seen, not heard, and only seen at home Babies must be born, all of them, whether or not that kills the mother People of color should not live here We should all bow down to him at all times Everyone must be Christian, no matter what #NoKings

The CFPB is one of the most staunch financial watchdogs for the American people. The agency has returned at least $20B to the victims of financial fraud and abuse since 2011. It's no longer protecting consumers now...BECAUSE THIS REGIME DOESN'T WANT IT TO!

You can’t say many of us haven’t warned you: the regime is coming for #contraceptives . Women who vote #Republican are voting for a loss of their own rights. www.notus.org/health-scien...

As we go into No Kings weekend (and with the influx of new followers from x) seems like a good time to resurface this. It was written in 2020 then focused on George Floyd about the media's antagonistic relationship to protest

The right has declared that although Trump’s political prosecutions are regrettable, the “Democrats brought it on themselves,” @jonathanbchait.bsky.social writes. But “Trump was no victim of the legal system. If anything, he received preferential treatment”:

MAGA calls it a “hate America” rally because they need to pretend mass opposition is fringe. But millions across the world are rising together against their regime. MAGA’s not scared of antifa or radical leftists, they’re scared that people will realize rejecting them has become the global majority.

HuffPost says that by late March, Trump's golf outings had already cost taxpayers approximately $26M , for travel, security, logistics & secret service detail. Candidate Trump claimed that if re-elected, he wouldn't have time to golf. Liar in Chief!

SF Chronicle joins the LA Times in confirming MeidasTouch’s reporting

“Kids”

One disabled Marine veteran has not had a primary care doctor assigned to him since his previous doctor left in the winter, his wife said. The VA “was never like this before. There’s a lack of staff, empty rooms, locked doors.” (Published August)

This federal office was meant to ensure America's energy future. Trump aims to kill it.

This week marks the first time the US-China trade war moved beyond diplomatic finger-pointing and got personal.

Republicans are terrified of the upcoming No Kings protests, and they are showing it, according to former Tea Party lawmaker Joe Walsh.

“His general demeanor was do not push things that upset Bukele — he is our No. 1 ally on migration,” a former U.S. official said about Johnson’s view of U.S. investigations into suspected Salvadoran corruption.

Sat 18OCT in Washington DC, the Removal Coalition—of which Sons of Liberty is a part—is rallying to demand the impeachment, conviction, and prosecution of Donald Trump. Can't make it to DC? Check your state SoL chapter for gatherings near you. #NoKings #RemoveTheRegime #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

And an “appropriations king” who directs his attention to unconstitutionally appropriating funds to raise an army is poised to become, simply, a “king” bsky.app/profile/samh...

The Supreme Court and the Republicans in Congress have helplessly stood by and failed to exercise their ambition to protect the American people. Literally, today, Congress could into session and assign Russell Vought a 1 dollar or impeach him. We are about enter into a self-induced Long Parliament.

“The War on Drugs has failed… more people can get drugs more easily than they can order a pizza” Caroline Lucas, former Green Party Leader, defends the party's policy to legalise all drugs, adding that regulation takes them “out of the hands of the criminal gangs”. #Newsnight

Shout out to the @chicago.suntimes.com for this kick ass ICE map Pls share with those you know in the city, so they can be updated and upload sightings chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

I geninuely do not know how this is going to end but any sort of deal would amount to treason so there is that.

The operation raised to about 710 the number of migrants who had been temporarily held at GITMO since the Trump administration’s deportation operations began in early February. Unlocked: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/u...

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing. And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power. When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

AOC: When one party wants the votes of another party. You negotiate, you come to a compromise and you pass a bill. That is schoolhouse rock. And that is how things should be

Every day brings more signs of cowardice and capitulation. I stated Democracy Docket in 2020 to be independent and pro-democracy no matter what. If you value media that will never compromise, bow down or obey, support Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Exclusive: A planned IRS overhaul would enable its criminal unit to more easily target left-leaning groups.

Among the Education Department’s new appointees is Lindsey Burke, the lead author of Project 2025’s education section. She envisions dramatic enrollment declines for public schools: “We’re going to have a lot of empty school buildings.” By @megomatz.bsky.social @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

A model of President Trump's proposed triumphal arch to commemorate the country’s 250th anniversary was seen on the Resolute Desk as the president held a press conference in the Oval Office on Wednesday. When asked on Wednesday who the arc is for, Trump told CBS News’ Ed O’Keefe: “Me.”

Over five million Americans gathered at more than 2,000 No Kings protests in June — and Saturday is going to be even bigger. Let’s show up with more people, in more places, bringing more signs and songs and joyful defiance than anything we’ve done before: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Every time the GOP lies about Saturday’s peaceful protests, our massive No Kings Day events get even bigger. We thank Republicans for their attention to this matter!

BREAKING: Missouri state officials sue a pro-voting coalition, which is organizing a veto referendum to block Republican state lawmakers' new congressional gerrymander. The map notably split apart Black communities in Kansas City to buy the GOP one district.

Gotta wonder where these little white Nazis got the idea that they are superior to the rest of us? Because, newsflash, pencil dick, you are not.

What do I know and I'm not saying it's a magic bullet or anything like that but it sure seems to me that Dems should run hard on the Argentina bailout. Not anywhere near the worst thing Trump has done, but i suspect it's unusually clarifying.

Disgusting men! Make these images go viral!!!

And yet, both Alaska GOPQ Senators, vote for everything Trump wants. Lisa gives a lot of lip service as she harms the people of Alaska, and Alaskans keep signing up for more with their votes. This looks like a MAGA problem to me.

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

-AI startup plasters STOP HIRING HUMANS posters around cities, gets $25m -AI device startup launches obnoxious NYC subway campaign, gets weeks of coverage -Startups by ex-OpenAI execs get $2b and $3b while refusing to discuss a product AI profiteering is now indistinguishable from trolling

NEW — I dug into the story of ICE abducting a 13-year-old boy in Massachusetts and moving him 500 miles across state lines without notifying his mother, local cop's complicity, and how the federal government's justification for such cruelty is already falling apart:
