President Trump appeared to struggle to stay awake at a White House event for a second time in a month on Tuesday, as his Cabinet officials provided updates on their work. During a roughly 75-minute stretch, Trump's eyes were closed or he visibly struggled to keep them open. https://wapo.st/4ovQTFo

Nah Kristi, slaves and immigrants built this nation. You know.... non white people. 😑

This is AMAZING journalism. The New York Times went through Trump's court filings related to what is happening in Chicago. There are videos, testimonies, and photographs. You can see this for yourself.

I swore an oath to the Constitution in 1986. I've upheld it through 25 years of service and every day since I retired. If Trump's trying to intimidate me, it won’t work. I’ve given too much to our country to be silenced by bullies who care more about power than the Constitution.

Are those "MANY GREAT LEGAL SCHOLARS" in the room with you right now, Piggy?

This is a Putin plan for Ukraine.   What we need to do is put pressure on Putin to negotiate and we need to continue to support the courageous people of Ukraine.

California needs a fighter and protector. I’m running for Governor.

Read the joint statement from myself, Senator Mark Kelly (D-AZ) and Representatives Jason Crow (D-CO-06), Chris Deluzio (D-PA-17), Maggie Goodlander (D-NH-02), and Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA-06):

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

“I was 14… I was 16… this was me when I met Epstein… there are thousands of us… time to let the secrets out of the shadows” Powerful ad from survivors ahead of a vote to tell us where each House rep stands on protecting kids vs protecting pedophiles.

97.5% of the people Trump arrested in Chicago had no criminal record 100% of the people Trump pardoned for Jan 6 had criminal records The difference is the former are mostly Latino & the latter are mostly white. This is systemic white supremacy in 2025. If you still don’t see it, you’re complicit

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

1. BREAKING The US Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued a statement admonishing the Trump administration’s immigration actions. The last time they issued such a statement was in 2013 in response to contraception mandates.

For some reason, reminded today of Cliff Clavin's classic Final Jeopardy question: "Who are 3 people who've never been in my kitchen?"

It is telling that when an older Democratic leader retires (or, sadly, dies), a competitive primary with lots and lots of interesting candidates emerges -- the gerontocracy's selfish belief that ~they alone can lead~ is immediately proven false!

President Donald Trump was greeted by an enthusiastic crowd at the Commanders ga— … oh, wait wrong clip

Hopeful news from Italy! outreach.faith/2025/11/ital...

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Virginia! I’m here today for a very important reason: to ask you to vote for your next Governor, @abigailspanberger.com. Tune in:

The government has been shut down for a month, health care costs are skyrocketing, food benefits are being withheld from tens of millions. What’s the President doing? Throwing a fancy party at his private club for Billionaires and Millionaires.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

This is amazing!!

This is the ad Donald Trump woke up furious about. Would be a shame if it went viral.

Donald Trump is a broken man who's breaking our country.

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

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

I will not back down. Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power. What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

If "states' rights" mean anything, they must include the right to not get invaded by another state in peacetime. Americans everywhere: Speak up and stand against Trump's outrageous assaults on Illinois and Oregon. gov-pritzker-newsroom.prezly.com/gov-pritzker...
