I’m back from Minnesota after our field hearing on ICE abuses and Trump’s cruel mass deportation machine. Now Trump’s DOJ launches a probe into Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey right after we met. This is 100% political retaliation and an implicit threat to all of us standing up for the Constitution.

Can we maybe stop appointing his judges and funding his government now

🚨BREAKING: Our cameraman Jon Farina was just struck in the leg by a flash bang ICE fired at unarmed protesters in Minneapolis. "My leg is hurting!" ICE also fired pepper balls and tear gas. This is happening in AMERICA. LIVE NOW ⬇️

Incredible @statuscoupnews.bsky.social interview with Skye, who says she’s a Marine Corps vet and appears to have just been released from Whipple. She says she was trapped by ICE, yanked out of her car and stomped on. 1/2

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

All of this going down during the 250th anniversary year of America is a degree of cringey writing that would be roundly mocked were it a novel published in an alternative timeline.

Abolish the crazy thugs at ICE.

He didn't shoot her in the head at point blank range because he felt like he was in danger. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he was furious that she wasn't afraid of him. He shot her in the head at point blank range because he felt emasculated.

6/7 Now add the fiscal trap. Texas slashed local revenue, cut off alternative funding paths, and shifted schools onto unstable revenue streams. Cities like Houston and Dallas face impossible long-term math because the state engineered it that way. youtu.be/WLQFoOwNPug

3/7 Once the courts lose independence, nothing stops the state from overriding local elections or punishing cities. A governor can reshape entire regions simply by threatening judges who stand up for local rights. They called it accountability when it was really about control & punishment.

Texas Young Republicans are calling upon TX lawmakers to pass a law allowing Governor Abbott to put blue TX cities into receivership. They say the State Leadership Initiative (SLI)—co-founded by Nate Fischer of New Founding — suggested the idea. New Founding partner Nathan Halberstadt loves it. 1/

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

if democrats want to retain any amount of integrity they need to immediately vote out chuck schumer as party minority leader

LESS. THAN. A. WEEK. Took them less than a week to take one of the most visible public repudiations of the GOP in my lifetime and turn it into hog slop. I’m so mad my temperature is higher than my ACA premiums.

@cnn.com That's a month! people How hard is that to understand? It's not 1900 a year the rates are going up They're going up from for example 800 a Month to 1900 a MONTH. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social My God help them get it. They present it as annual rate but that's a monthly payment. FFS

Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts. #NoKings

@cnn-news.bsky.social This is why we're trouble- congressman like the one that was just on that thought everyone should buy employee based insurance. I'm sorry I'm an independent contractor I don't work for a large corporation. I guess I'll need to go work for an Amazon warehouse #shutdown

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

The GOP health care for immigrants lie is an old one. Here’s me six years ago:

Quick reminder: they can still release the Epstein files during a government shutdown.

Sure. Left wing terrorism is at an all time high, going from 3% of domestic terror fatalities to 4%. Right wing terrorism on the other hand has dipped to an all time low of 95% So technically, yeah.

hey @nytimes.com: there is no counterpoint here. There are no credible legal experts who would EVER say that the US military has any right or authority to blow civilian craft out of the Caribbean and kill their crews from afar without any provocation. There is no other side to this question.

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Please articulate better when you're on these talk shows that Johnson is lying the ACA $. Yes the policies start January 1 but I have to pick my policy Dec 15th and right now my policy will go up $1,200 a month. Am I supposed to pick my policy and then just hope It fixes

The American people are about to be walloped by the Big Ugly Bill Hospitals are closing and health insurance is becoming unaffordable-all because Trump gave tax breaks to billionaires MAGA has proven they don’t care if Americans suffer Democrats must step up NOW It might be their only chance

@jaketapper.bsky.social Mike Johnson is lying... Well... in a way. If the Dems don't get this changed my health ins. is going to go up $1200 a MONTH.It does not go into effect until Jan 1 - true- but I have to pick my policy in open enrollment period which is Nov 15th - Dec 15th. So he's lying.

Kash Patel fired the 'legendary' special agent in charge of Utah's FBI division a month ago. Her colleagues say she was “absolutely the best” agent in the bureau but she was a woman of color so she had to go: www.msnbc.com/opinion/anal...

This sums up 30 years of GOP control in Texas. Do nothing. Crisis. Act concerned and say you’ll fix it. Do nothing, and move on. Too many Texans are in an abusive relationship with the GOP. It can take a long time to realize and break free. We see you and will fight with you. Reach out.

I remember when this happened.

George Nader is a man that has child abuse, child pornography charges dating back to 1985. He was convicted in the 1990’s for transporting child pornography. He was sentenced in 2003 for sexually abusing 10 boys. He pleaded guilty in early 2020 to flying a 14-year-old boy from Europe to the US

It's just a “swarm of fish" following a duck.

An auroral substorm occurring during a full moon.

Epstein victim Maria Farmer: “Ivana was [Ghislaine’s] best friend… She’d drive by schools… get [girls’] phone numbers… Everybody knew what they were doing.” To shut her up, “they gave me one of those cheap bracelets Ivana was selling on QVC.”

The stupidest people are in charge because we couldn’t prosecute a political crime because it would look too political.

Macron in response to the Trump regime and Russia invasion threat: "Greenland is not to be sold or to be taken." "You are not alone, we stand with you" People in Greenland greeted the French leader and waved an EU flag.

When a cabinet member announces "We are using the military to liberate an American city from its elected leaders," where do you go from there. What is left to say. The idea of that being anything short of a near-universal "Wait, what the fuck is going on" moment proves how far we've backslid.

CNN’s reporter on scene in Los Angeles: I’m being detained..

Did yall see this?

This is yet another good example of why men are too emotional to be in leadership.

remember this morning? that was one month ago
