Gov. Pritzker: "Threatening to jail your political opponents—does that sound like the United States? Should we have a president who is threatening to jail his political opponents with no evidence of wrong doing?...I don't think so."

Trump says if he invokes the Insurrection Act, ”there is no more court cases, there is no more anything.” By “no more anything” he means no more democracy.

Little Big Brother says what?

Democratic-led states secured a legal victory to keep the personal data of food recipients out of the federal government's reach. But NPR's reporting shows that millions of records on Americans have already been shared.

DUMB "FUCKWIT" WEREWOLF TED CRUZ ACTUALLY THINKS GEORGE SOROS IS PAYING PROTESTERS. HOW WOULD THAT EVEN WORK? MANY ARE SAYING TO ME "SIR! SIR! NO ONE INSULTS TED CRUZ LIKE YOU DO, SIR! HOW DO YOU DO IT? SIR!" THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY WRITE-UP OF NO KINGS DAY. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/3Jk3mxu

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

The Resistance is built on Hope

President Trump is seeking to build a triumphal arch on a Washington roundabout to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary next year. Trump showed models of the proposed arch at a fund-raising dinner on Wednesday for another of his pet projects, a White House ballroom. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/17/u...

A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings

Trump posts AI video showing him literally dumping shit on America

Why can’t they say it?

The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million. This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

The worship is out of hand.

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

Trump responds to No Kings by posting video depicting him as a king

NYPD announces that zero arrests were made at the massive No Kings protests today after Republicans spent days claiming the protestors are violent terrorists.

My friend @michaelfanone.bsky.social and I pushed back against Trump’s lies about January 6th during a town hall at the University of Virginia. Fanone told his full story from that day. His courage to continue to fight for our democracy and his family is inspiring: www.youtube.com/live/NJHMXKM...

Claims he's just a regular journalist doing his journalising on behalf of the silent millions... checks out for me..

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump. No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

Trump heard people wanted to see the secret files about a person with a private plane who suffered a mysterious death and thought... Amelia Earhart?

Nailed it @jimacosta.bsky.social! This truly is "The WTF Presidency". Sadly many innocent Americans will die because of the cowardice displayed by the GOP, @speakerjohnson.bsky.social and everyone who voted for nut case RFK, Jr. open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...

Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."

Kristi Noem’s America, folks. That poor dog. That poor family.

Robert De Niro: “Now we have a would-be king — King Donald the First. Fuck that. I’m Robert De Niro and I’m asking you to stand up and be counted in the nationwide No Kings protest on October 18th” 👉👉 nokings.org

Donald Trump's Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth gets hit with a much needed reality check after veterans call him out for his disastrous military speech targeting women in combat roles.

FACT FOCUS: Republicans shut down the government to give him more time to hide the #EPSTEIN_Files.

Trump is running everything into the ground while grifting billions for himself and his family.

Our report on the return of the Epstein-Trump friendship statue in DC. The statue was taken down by the Park Service and was damaged in the process. But the creators reassembled it to the delight of many on the National Mall! Full episode drops later tonight on YouTube youtube.com/@jimacosta?s...

EMERGENCY: ISRAEL ATTACKS GSF Israel has attacked the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters. People of conscience have been abducted. The flotilla broke no laws. What is illegal is Israel’s genocide, Israel’s illegal blockade of Gaza, and the Israel’s use of starvation as a weapon. 1 of 2

Court-watchers confirm this cruel ICE agent has been reinstated. Last week, in the briefest moment of decency, violently throwing a woman to the floor was “beneath the men and women of ICE.” This week, it’s back to business as usual. The cruelty, after all, is the point.

I oppose fascism and as such have declared myself OpiFa. Now what bitch, go write another lil royal decree bitch.

A new episode from Jim Acosta @jimacosta.bsky.social www.youtube.com/live/JDxZSW4...

ICYMI from Tuesday’s show: We took a little trip down to the National Mall to check out a Trump-Epstein statue dedicated to their “friendship.” We found a steady stream of tourists and local residents who had to see it for themselves.

Set aside Sen. Mike Lee's storm of lies and incitement here. Lee literally made jokes on Twitter about the fmr Speaker of the Minnesota state house being murdered in her home by a right wing extremist. Hard to imagine any more twisted and malicious person in public life.
