Two Illinois National Guard members speak out: "I won't turn against my neighbors."

CNN editor-in-chief Mark Thompson, following a While House meeting, sought to soften the news network's coverage of President Trump's demolition of the East Wing, claiming viewers aren't that interested in the story, according to the Status newsletter.

This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

#senatormerkley is speaking out against Trump/MAGA tyranny, authoritarianism & fascism on the Senate floor. Call his office & thank him & for those in Republican states - demand your Republican/MAGA senators & representatives stand up for the constitution & this country. #dosomethingorstepdown

This is really what it comes down to. I'm holding the Senate floor to say HELL NO to Trump destroying our We the People government. 🔗 www.youtube.com/live/bE37g0m...

Wildly illegal trade policy violating both US and international law, on top of wildly illegal murder of civilians in international & foreign waters, violating both US and international law.

#NoKings event in Fairhope, Al. A woman was arrested for "lewd conduct" because she was dressed in penis suit with a sign that said "No dick-tator" 3 cops on a 53 yo woman.

BREAKING from PP We found immigration agents have held more than 170 *citizens* The govt doesn't track citizens held. So we did. We tallied: Nearly 20 kids, two w/ cancer More than 20 citizens held for day or more, incommunicado www.propublica.org/article/immi... by @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Judge Illston’s temporary restraining order against the shutdown layoffs is scathing. “It is also far from normal for an administration to fire line-level civilian employees during a government shutdown as a way to punish the opposing political party …” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Once again a BRAVE WOMAN standing up for what's right!!! 👏👏👏👏

Tomorrow the Supreme Court will hear arguments in the most important redistricting and voting rights case of the term. Democracy Docket isn't just covering it for the day. It has been covering this case for years. Support its vital work to help keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

The DOD Office of Inspector General has reportedly completed its review of Secretary Pete Hegseth’s use of Signal for official business. We filed a FOIA for the OIG’s independent findings. When the stakes are this high, disclosing what happened isn’t optional. americanoversight.org/american-ove...

Are we great yet? Mark Bray, a Rutgers University professor and expert on anti-fascist groups, is fleeing to Spain with his family due to death threats that stem from a campaign by Turning Point USA and other conservative groups to get him fired, falsely labeling him as an antifa member.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Tomorrow, I, along with Senator Kaine will be forcing a vote to block President Trump’s use of our Armed Forces to conduct strikes against vessels in the Caribbean Sea. Congress has not authorized these strikes. They are illegal and risk dragging America into another war.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

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

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

We are all Dan Jones. Our lives will forever be changed by Gestapo men in the dead of night… a repeat of WWII Nazi Germany. This is how they are blatantly violating search and seizure and our fundamental rights. And, they are doing it in Chicago. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

DOJ has sued 8 states for refusing to turn over their full, unreacted voter files. My team has now filed motions to defend those states against this attack on federalism in 6 of those states: ME, MI, MN, NH, OR and PA. I suggest that tomorrow DOJ monitor the docket in the remaining two: CA and NY.

I spoke to Platte County Democrats in Weston, MO tonight…population 1800. Here’s the thing, the event was sold out. As well as the last three events I have attended in rural Missouri. Rural Democrats are here. We have always been here. And now we’re organizing.

A 79-year-old Van Nuys car wash owner — who is a U.S. citizen — has filed a federal civil rights claim seeking $50 million after he says he was violently body slammed and pinned by federal agents during an ICE immigration raid at his business on September 9.

Portland State U historian @catherinemcneur.bsky.social is doing a very cool series of local history posts on TikTok. Portland folks will be especially interested in them, but so might many others out there. This one is about the horseshoe courts in Laurelhurst Park. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8SXnEWH/

This is the most corrupt and disgusting thing I think I’ve ever seen from a president. A blatantly impeachable offense. Republicans in Congress will say and do nothing.

We shouldn’t underestimate the extent to which the resources of foreign adversaries (including money to influencers and the creation of online influencer accounts and their associated botnets) are contributing to the inflammatory rhetoric driving division within the US.

In the midpoint of the decade, it is crazy that my law firm is currently involved in eight redistricting cases. Even worse, as of today, I expect that will grow to twelve in the next month or so. Republicans want to make it harder for you to vote and easier for them to cheat.

So many new right wing trolls on Bluesky since Charlie Kirk killing UT Gov Cox called out Russian/Chinese trolls sewing discord and here they are! Report. And block.

Just remembering the literally hundreds & hundreds of beneath-the-headlines things that the Biden administration did to advance the energy transition. He got nothing for it -- no credit, no popularity -- and now it's all gone.

Don’t say “Dems aren’t doing anything.” There’s just little attention to the courage of these Missouri Dems resisting the extreme gerrymandering of Republicans desigmed to increase Republican numbers in the House. www.kfvs12.com/2025/09/05/m...

The reason this ad works is not just that it appeals to a lot of Americans, but that Mallory looks and sounds like someone who genuinely cares about this. We need more relatable and authentic candidates. Mallory is that.

RFK Jr. was confirmed with zero Dem votes. You can take your “both sides” nonsense and shove it.

I’ll say it again: police unions aren’t real unions. They’re right-wing protection rackets for cops. 📌 NEW: The LAPD just pulled protection from former VP Kamala Harris after pressure from police unions. This was only in place because Trump yanked her Secret Service detail.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with an American city. This is not a joke. This is not normal. Donald Trump isn't a strongman, he's a scared man. Illinois won’t be intimidated by a wannabe dictator.

SAVE THE DATE! October 18 is the next national day of action! Map launches next week! Let's make this the BIGGEST PROTEST IN AMERICAN HISTORY! LFG!!!!!

Tell the Smithsonian: Reject demands to whitewash history act.indivisible.org/sign/smithso...

📌NOTE: Stop using the word "Trump" and start using the word "Republicans" to describe the monstrous things that are happening in America. Without "Republicans" "Trump" could get little to nothing done. This will be particularly important in next year's midterms which "Republicans" will try to stop.

Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion

🚨BREAKING: In a landmark victory for voters, a Utah judge struck down the state Legislature’s gerrymandered congressional map and reinstated the citizen-led redistricting reforms voters approved in 2018. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

BREAKING: We have a major Jeffrey Epstein update. Congressman Robert Garcia tells me the Justice Department gave the House 33,000 documents, but only 1,000 contained NEW information. Spread the word and watch this. They are stonewalling us. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...

Trump has purchased at least $103 million worth of corporate and municipal bonds since he took office again, according to new filings from the Office of Government Ethics.   Trump made about 690 purchases from Jan. 21 through Aug. 1.   The active trading by a president of the U.S. is unprecedented.

You know what's crazy? There have been no op-eds or editorial statements in major newspapers this year calling on Trump to resign. None calling for his impeachment. None asking if he's medically fit to be in office. Not one in any major newspaper all year.

Donald Trump is going to try to rig the outcome of the 2026 election because he is an authoritarian and that is what authoritarians do. I don't know if I should say it louder or softer, but people need to pay attention and take action. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2bc...

All I’m saying is if you really need to stan a white guy politician, maybe support the guy who wants to actually protect LGBT rights.
