If the FBI shows up at your door, and doesn’t have a warrant, you are permitted to refuse to answer questions until you talk to your lawyer. You are not required to let them in the house without a warrant.

Illinois has now achieved its 10th credit rating upgrade since I took office. It reflects our continued growth in financial standing and speaks volumes to our state's commitment to fiscal discipline. With each upgrade, it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.

Godfrey doing his Trump impression with Dr. Dre in the studio 🤣💀

When did they move all the historic artifacts out of the East Wing of the White House and how did they do it without anyone hearing about or seeing it? And did they somehow know he intended to bulldoze the entire East Wing? Even though Trump and Karoline Leavitt publicly lied about it repeatedly?

Victor Davis Hanson is an actual historian but he is also the author of the dumbest goddamn response to the No Kings protests that I’ve seen. www.pbump.net/o/the-weakes...

Trump is furious because Canada went over his head and just made their case with Americans directly. It’s what everyone should do.

ok but he’s supposed to be president in 2028. that’s how the terms work.

Those $376 Million Obama renovations people like Jesse Watters are using to defend Trump? One problem — They were approved by Congress after a BUSH administration report said they were necessary: www.snopes.com/news/2025/10...

Doug Ford on 10/14/25: Let's take Ronald Reagan's words and let's blast it to the American people. And our first launch is going to be on every major network...we're going to launch a $75 million ad, and we're going to repeat that message to every Republican district right across the entire country.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Reagan was a shit president but he was right about tariffs. It’s why every big business loving Republican president until now was never dumb enough to do it.

Here's the full radio address from Reagan in 1987. He talks a little about how he needs to impose tariffs on semiconductors from Japan but it's clear he's singling them out as something that should be rarely used. The Reagan Foundation suggesting they might sue over the ad is hilarious.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

Burchett is Burchetting again.

Petro, the current head of NASA (first woman to hold the role in the admin's history!), could not have bent the knee faster. but in 2021, she went on and on about how it's "crucial that we are intentional about identifying diverse sources of talent" www.enr.com/articles/529...

Trump: To touch Confederate monuments is to launch an attack on our collective history. Also Trump: I unilaterally decided to destroy a third of the White House because I see Americans’ treasures as my own. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Oh look, @RepTimBurchett just humiliated himself again. Must be a day ending in “Y”

An Elvis impersonator in Indiana thinks his Google searches equal decades of medical research. He’s writing public health laws. In fact, over 400 bills in state legislatures are targeting settled science. It’s a coordinated campaign against reality. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/the-republ...

100%. But I would add that in addition to antisemitism it's not just "hateful rhetoric". He's a vicious and proud anti-Black racist. "race science", skull size, inferior races, etc etc. It's just par for the course in Trump world.

Mike Johnson: "Rep. Grijalva can work -- Rep.-elect Grijalva can work for her constituents right now. Constituent services, answering the phones, she has computers and 16 employees and there's no excuse for it. The Epstein files are being released."

Mike Johnson is now pretending that it's Rep-Elect Grijalva who is not doing her job, when he's the one shirking his duties. And even *he* knows this is bullshit. He corrects himself to call her "Rep-Elect" not "Rep" because he actually understands there's a very important difference.

Mike Johnson doesn't know sh*t

He 𝙞𝙨 The Onion.

Reminder: the unpublished, bad Henry Ford study that is the focus of a new antivaccine movie found no link between vaccines and autism. If you want to tout that study, and see it as determinative, you can no longer claim vaccines cause autism. Can’t have it both ways.

a live look this morning at the demolished East Wing of the White House

Oh just fuck off already, Bret Stephens.

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff. More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2021...

This is why I took the under on "NBA coach gets arrested in illegal gambling investigation by 2026." The gambling industry's takeover of sports advertising (to the point of announcers touting betting lines during broadcasts) made this inevitable. The corruption unfolded right in front of our eyes.

Did the New York Times have an editorial meeting where they said something like “these are trustworthy people, we should take their word, put it headlines, that’s good journalism.” Did they go so far as to say “we should help the Trump administration sell this action”? Or do they just sorta do it?

Kaitlan Collins responds to Mike Johnson's pearl-clutching about Democrats discussing "leverage" by playing a clip of JD Vance, Russ Vought, and Trump making versions of the same argument. Johnson insists it's different, because reasons.

After the FBI denied "children were zip-tied or hit with rubber bullets" in a raid in Wilder, Idaho, the FBI said no "young" children were. The updated statement came after KIVI-TV sent FBI photo reportedly showing 14-year-old U.S. citizen in zip ties.

If you live in Colo 3rd district, you might want to know that your rep, Tom Hurd, is on TV now, not simply avoiding comment on Trump's desecration of the White House. ("I haven't followed that news" etc, the Mike Johnson rope-a-dope) Hurd is actively praising it as classy, public-spirited move. FYI

Releasing a health care plan is not negotiating. It's...releasing a health care plan. Odd that the House speaker doesn't understand that basic point.

If given the chance, I'd lose my legs all over again to serve in our great military. The leader of your party is a five-time draft dodger who has fired more Veterans than any other president in our history. Square that circle then tell me who really hates our military.

The ICE motherfuckers are doing such a great job of demonizing themselves, they don't need any help from Democrats.

I will seriously fuck up anyone who wants to call me "prim" about my concerns over a Nazi tattoo. I'll do this simply to remove this toxic notion that Nazi tattoos are somehow about core masculinity. That's the narrative they're pushing.

Trump just murdered some more people, this time on the Pacific side of South America

Tomorrow

American higher education has produced a nation with the greatest educational, economic, technological and geopolitical prowess that the world has ever seen. Here's why we must radically change how it works in order to make conservatives happy.

It doesn’t “resemble” a Nazi symbol. It *is* a Nazi symbol (which he is reportedly to have acknowledged by telling people “This is my Totenkopf”). Worse, it isn’t just any Nazi symbol, it is the one used by the SS officers running the concentration camps.

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

Sure, this guy tries to destroy the White House and gets arrested. Trump does it and gets $250,000,000 in corporate donations.

Someone tell me why everyone's falling on their swords for the Blackwater Redditor with the SS tattoo in a primary with a bunch of other candidates that's months away

Wait until he finds out that, even though it is landlocked, Hungary has ports. 😳 www.marineinsight.com/know-more/po...

Not being even vaguely sarcastic: At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Hey Don the Con—you know who’s “fighting for their life?” Single parents struggling to feed their kids. Seniors whose healthcare costs are skyrocketing. Families who can’t afford to buy a home. And yet you spend $40B of OUR MONEY to bail out Argentina? Sick.

Ron Johnson: "Let's bring free market competition back into the healthcare industry. Let's bring back way more consumer choice. Rick Scott, an expert in healthcare, he's working with people like myself and the White House, let's design the Republican plan."

"Rick Scott, an expert in healthcare"
