I feel ya, little one.

This sounds extremely dangerous

A new replacement theory?

We are a country that disappears people.

NEW: ICE is planning to build a shadow deportation network in Texas. A proposal outlines a 24/7 transport operation run by armed contractors—turning Texas into the logistical backbone of an industrialized deportation machine. My latest @wired.com: www.wired.com/story/ice-is...

The Trump administration released a final rule on Thursday that restricted who could participate in a student loan forgiveness program for public servants. Critics say the new rule gives the government broad tools to politicize the program and target groups that do not align with its values.

So this goes to the House? They are never going to have another session again, are they?

This is infuriating

UPDATE: We obtained new records showing the FHFA may have misused federal investigative power for political gain – including when accessing mortgage data for Sen. Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook & NY AG Letitia James. The American people deserve the FULL truth. We will get it.

Wait, I thought it was the Democratic party that was pro-immigration to gain votes...

I use Claude (an AI) to scan my posts for spelling and grammar errors. On the most recent post (about the East Wing, link below), I got a really amazing addendum. www.pbump.net/o/yes-most-a...

NEW: How ICE mistakenly deported Alejandro Juarez to Mexico. Alejandro was detained in NYC, put on the wrong ICE plane and sent to Mexico. He never saw a judge, no deportation order - a likely violation of law. W/ @haleaziz.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/n...

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

This is absolutely insane.

It's not insurance. It's a racket.

Totally reasonable to a racist and a xenophob

The U.S. Justice Department placed two prosecutors on leave on Wednesday, hours after they referred to Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, as "a mob of rioters" in a sentencing memo, said four people familiar with the matter.

We checked the Department of Homeland Security's viral videos of chaos and protests. What we found were months-old, misleading clips, some recorded thousands of miles away.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US. Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight. He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

This is not how you cease fire.

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities? TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

Breaking on MSNBC: Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge ruled Tuesday that Bill Essayli, a Trump-appointed Acting U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, has been serving unlawfully in the nation’s largest federal district — the third such finding against a prosecutor installed by President Donald Trump.

🚨BREAKING: The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals voted to rehear President Donald Trump’s Portland National Guard case Tuesday — a step that vacates an earlier ruling that allowed Trump to federalize Oregon’s troops and deploy them against local protests. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

The Trump-Vance administration continues to target the very programs that make Americans safer. We will keep fighting in court to restore grants for violence prevention and other vital community programs.

Scoop - Trump has fired all the sitting members on the Commission on Fine Arts, an independent agency expected to review his construction projects.

fbi director touting the release of information that you could’ve googled two years and 10 months ago:

It bears repeating: USDA has a $5 billion contingency reserve that it refuses to utilize to continue SNAP benefits. This was the USDA's *own plan* at the start of the shutdown—now quietly deleted from its website. This is as blatant an example of "hunger is a policy choice" as you will ever see.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties. Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan. Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

BREAKING: Judge denies the Trump-Vance admin’s attempt to overturn a court order and extends the block on unlawful mass firing during the shutdown. This is yet another victory in our case for workers’ rights and accountability in government.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

A running team from Chicago posted that Trump’s federal agents dragged a runner (67 years old) from his car, broke his ribs, and caused internal bleeding. IG: dwrunning1

The fate of President Trump’s planned $300 million White House ballroom is set to rest with a little-known urban planning committee now led by his allies. The panel includes Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Sen. Rand Paul.

Morning. ☕️ ICYMI: HHS employees are now being assessed in their annual performance reviews based on whether they're sufficiently loyal to Trump’s policy agenda www.huffpost.com/entry/hhs-em...

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

OMG! This actually looks like...fall. Please let this actually happen.

🧵 Horrifying. I fear we are going to see more of this as the violent rhetoric from this administration and the actual violent treatment of people from ICE we are seeing just keeps increasing.

That theory is wildly wrong (a VP candidate has to be eligible to become president) but why are you tossing him suggestions for how he can violate the Constitution? Who asked this? Is this what we can expect from the new and improved White House press corps?

Has he ever used the "low IQ" insult against someone who isn't a person of color?

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

USDA is legally required to use the contingency funds on SNAP benefits for November. In July, President Trump and Congressional Republicans enacted the largest cuts to SNAP in history. The reason they aren't planning on providing SNAP benefits is that they don't want to.

Read the analysis that made Donald Trump and Russ Vought’s head lawyer at OMB mad enough to yell at me on a Saturday

CNN chief Mark Thompson met privately with the White House last week. The next morning, he urged the network to ease up on its coverage of Trump's East Room demolition. The scoop from @nataliekorach.bsky.social in @status.news www.status.news/p/mark-thomp...

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.” www.cnbc.com/2020/11/19/w...

I think Sofie needed a cigarette after getting scritches from her Auntie Linda. #dogsofbluesky

Well, this was interesting. My friend and I ended up near the library as police were responding to a shooting. For those not familiar with the area, the police car in the first video is driving on the sidewalk. #austin #shooting #austinlibrary

I know it doesn't look like Sofie would viciously go on to viciously go on to attack this nice lady's feet and ankles repeatedly. And yet She did. Bet she'll do it again before she leaves too. *sigh*

Reagan was like Joe Free Trade. He and Thatcher are the avatars of the neoclassical economics resurgence, trade liberalization, etc. good or bad this is pure reality. The idea that this conversation is even happening shows how much we’re in the mad king 2+2=7 world.
