Publix now allows the open carry of guns in all FL stores. Is that armed man on your aisle the next mass shooter or someone just stocking up for the cookout? How dangerous is this? Publix bans open carry at its own headquarters, where the executives who made this decision go to work.

Wow. Sidney Reid, the DC woman just found not guilty of assaulting an FBI agent, issues a withering and gutsy statement on Trump through her attorneys. "I feel sorry for the prosecutors really, who must be burdened by Trump's irrational and unfounded hatred for his fellow man." It's a must-read:

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

Anthony Boyd, the leader of an anti-death penalty group run by prisoners on Alabama’s death row, was convicted largely on the word of a co-defendant who testified to escape the death penalty. Boyd’s execution is set for next week.

Another WINNER @jeremynewberger.bsky.social How pathetic & desperate are the #TrumpRegime & #GOPTraitors spewing so many lies & hate on #NoKings Rallies "Marley would approve the use of his Reggae to support democracy & resist the fascist autocracy of kings & rulers" youtu.be/x2EPkpWxjK0?...

When the Nazi group chat ruins your talking points

SOUTHCOM head steps down early & one US official says "Admiral Holsey had raised concerns about the mission and the attacks on the alleged drug boats...." Bulk of article then discusses overwhelming view (incl every IL scholar & mil expert i know) that strikes are illegal.

Washington Post v. Democracy Docket on today's Bolton news. I cannot express how dangerous it is that legacy media is normalizing Trump's targeting of his political opponents. I don't like Bolton. But what is happening here is dangerous and wrong. Support independent media. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Slingshot News: During remarks from the Oval Office last month, Trump blamed political violence on the "radical left," claiming they "caused a lot of problems." He stated, "I really think they hate our country." #ProudBlue #Pinks #NoKingsDayOct18th #NoKingsInAmerica

President Donald Trump suffered a legal blow on Thursday, after a three-judge panel of the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit refused to lift a lower court order that prohibited him from sending in the National Guard to Chicago.

Who the hell has been rearing their children to be racist pigs like the young Republicans? I’m happy to say I don’t know or want to know any of you heinous parents. And, don’t pull out the Jesus/Christian card cause y’all are the worst of humanity. #Voices4Victory #Pinks

Ah the only conservative argument: "My prejudices are timeless eternal truths and it's unfair that all of society isn't structured to reflect them." bsky.app/profile/whst...

"in the midst of the biggest operation in his 37-year career" and just once more for the record could you remind me what that operation is

Today I stood with @governor.ny.gov to talk about our victory preserving over $33 million in critical anti-terrorism funds for the MTA. This win keeps New Yorkers safe, and our federal funding protected. When New York is threatened, we don’t back down. We fight back.

Trump was asked multiple times to return US classified documents to the Archives. He refused. The case had mountains of evidence. As for #Jan6, we all saw what happened. These weren’t politically motivated cases. They were criminal. #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 www.theguardian.com/us-news/20

A Manhattan federal judge on Thursday ordered the Trump administration to restore nearly $34 million in antiterrorism and security funding for the New York City subway and regional railroads that he said had been withheld illegally.

Trump is bailing out Argentina with $40 billion while leaving American farmers twisting in the wind. At this point, it’s obvious he doesn’t want them to succeed. I’m calling it now: this is going to turn into a land grab for pennies on the dollar.

📌Any "Christian" who supports the Republican Party does so because first and foremost they are a bigot. I'm not wrong about this.

📌BREAKING FROM AP: John Bolton charged in a federal investigation into the potential mishandling of classified information. 📌Bolton's a selfish asshole, but if that was a crime in America, Trump would be doing 198 life terms. 📌Fascism is here.

Today, I convened a group of former military generals and veterans to hear perspectives on deploying troops in American cities. Their commitment is to our nation. That’s why they’re speaking out against what the President's doing as uncalled-for, unprecedented, and un-American.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Politics often depends on the richest in society. That's why I'm SO proud of our campaign. We're funded small dollar donors. We've raised almost 6x more in donations under $200 than the next five candidates in my race COMBINED. We're by and for the people — NOT corporations and billionaires.

🚨BREAKING: A three-judge federal appeals court panel Thursday rejected President Donald Trump’s request that it overturn a lower court ruling barring his attempted military deployment in Chicago. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Murphy: "If we want to win the argument nationally on the economy, then we've got to break our addiction to incremental economic change. And we've got to talk about big, bold ideas that reorder power in this country."

time.com/7325948/leak... #ProudBlue. JD Vance excused the racist Pro-Hitler Young Republicans by saying”Thats what kids do”. These were not kids. Vance is only 41. He could have belonged to the group last year. These were not kindergarten kids.They are the future of the GOP. And rascist to the core

Jeffries: "The notion that the No Kings rallies are anything but a patriotic act consistent w.the 1A right to express yourself & petition the govt for change in policy continues to reveal that Republicans are clueless as it relates to the Constitution, or they continue to lie for political reasons."

Ken Paxton and John Cornyn claim to stand for freedom, family, and faith.  But you can't stand for freedom and control women's bodies. You can't stand for family and vote against paid family leave. You can't stand for faith and sell out the poor to give tax cuts to the rich.

man, they really don’t have any plan at all for the farmers, huh

I feel like the financial journalists should check in on Trump's Chicago tax cheating. www.nytimes.com/2024/05/11/u...

"I doubt Trump does organ recitals with old friends. That’s because I don’t think he has old friends." The ravages of hatred. Reich is ALWAYS so worth reading! My aging, Trump’s aging open.substack.com/pub/robertre...

📌As a one-time resident of Maine, vet, longtime liberal and lover of America, I am flabbergasted the tone-deaf leaders in the Democratic Party have done it again by choosing a 78-year-old to run against Susan Collins next year —especially when we deserve so much better. The case for Graham Platner.

If Trump can cause as much mayhem and suffering as he’s doing every day, I can at least keep writing and talking about how horrific he is, every day. After all, I’m 10 days younger than him. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/my-aging-trumps-aging

Rep. Bryon Donalds (R-Fla.) is running for governor. In the last quarter, his congressional campaign spent $101,000, per new filing. Almost half of it went to security. For his wife.

“Congress and the public simply can’t follow what the Trump administration has done with federal spending. And now the fiscal year is over, with untold sums unaccounted for.” The Administration has no idea what happened to American tax dollars. Sheer incompetence. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/11/u...

Now their brazen attempt to control ALL information coming out of the Pentagon will result in zero control. Because everything will have to come from leaks

A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Trump kills funding previously appropriated by Congress for one of the most important infrastructure projects in the country because it involves NY and NJ, while Republicans ask for Dem votes on future government funding while refusing to talk to Dems about it.

House Oversight Committee Democrats ask Atty Gen. Pam Bondi for info by Oct. 30 on rationale for Ghislaine Maxwell prison transfer "Months-long failure by the BOP to respond to urgent & deeply troubling questions concerning the preferential treatment that BOP has accorded to.. Maxwell"

"Kentuckians organizing “No Kings” rallies say the derogatory labels Republicans in D.C. are attaching to the protesters ahead of Saturday’s gatherings are a sign the anti-Trump movement is gaining momentum. They also call the claims absurd and untrue." kentuckylantern.com/2025/10/16/d...

Mary Miller (R-IL) quoted Hitler on the steps of the Capitol on January 5th, the day before a Republican mob attacked the Capitol, one wearing a "Camp Auschwitz" T-shirt and Elon Musk gave Heil Hitler salutes and Donald Trump says he wish he had Hitler's generals. Johnson is good with all of that.

Instead of donating to and kissing Convicted Felon Donald Trump's ample butt, these companies should be using the money to increase employee pay and give them health insurance. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsACriminal www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.
