The head of the Eisenhower Library is out after resisting an ILLEGAL order from the White House to give an artifact to King Charles. This is wild — and so bad. The National Archives is our nation’s history — not Trump’s gift basket. www.cbsnews.com/news/sword-t...

Tim Walz: "We're in a massive misinformation campaign. The president himself tweeting out AI videos of fake news reports on healthcare. This is really dangerous. I cannot express to you the concern and absolutely bafflement and fear of our European allies asking me, 'Is this stuff really going on?'"

Tim Walz: "My god, we've got the White House threatening investigations and jail time because an escalator stopped? Walk up the damn stairs!"

It's becoming difficult to hide that a major purpose of the Trump administration is siphoning tax revenues from Blue states and redirecting them into subsidies for Red states. At what point does this become intolerable?

Federal workers won't be getting paid, but President Bridezilla simply must have his special little party room!

this is an especially good thing to hammer because it wedges the WH away from congressional Republicans

JUST IN: A U.S. citizen from Alabama who has been detained twice by ICE while working at a construction site, has filed a class action suit claiming ICE's broad warrantless arrest powers violate the constitution. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

For those playing “are we there yet?” at home, at @atrupar.com's PN I’ve got the recourse for the president’s explicit call for domestic military deployment. There probably won't be any accountability but there are options still on the table. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-mili...

I know we're desensitized, but it's important to note, again, that today's events would have led to the immediate impeachment & removal of any president from at least Truman to at least Obama. We're hundreds of miles on the interstate past Richard Nixon's high school prank-level crimes compared to 👇

PN today: "Trump has long desired to send military troops to Democratic cities — an authoritarian aspiration that is accompanied by his fantasy of having soldiers shoot protesters. (Hegseth has signaled willingness to have soldiers kill Americans.)" Some important context:

We did not have shutdowns until Jimmy Carter’s Attorney General issued an opinion saying that he thought they were necessary in case of a budget impasse.

"What Trump and Hegseth want, in a way, is to turn the US military into an institution more like ICE: an internal police force, unconstrained by many laws or norms, bullying and intimidating people here at home on behalf of the current administration in Washington." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Romney already said many Republicans don't honor the Constitution. Don't count on those Traitors. Judicial is corrupted. Greed and Lust for power has ended the experiment. Citizens will make the call. Live like Russians or drag Trump and his loyalists Traitors to the curb.🤡🍿☮️

Tubby told the brass he's going to use the military against American citizens and this is the best the Prestige Press can do.

This passage nearly broke me.

Trump has made it clear he's going to turn TikTok into a right-wing propaganda machines, so it's time to give a big thanks to Democrats - especially Biden, Schumer, and Gillibrand - for working so hard to destroy the one left-leaning social media platform! www.techdirt.com/2025/09/30/t...

The merits of this comment aside, to my knowledge, Vladimir Putin and his defense ministers have never staged an event like the one today in Virginia.

A US citizen alleges he was improperly arrested and detained twice by immigration officers as they targeted Latino workers at Alabama construction sites, claims they initially rebuffed his offers to prove legal status -- new proposed class action in federal court buff.ly/LVwQRIm

Maybe it’s just me, but I find it *incredibly* disturbing that the president of the US is very clearly losing his goddamned mind, but most of the media steadfastly refuse to even mention it.

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Mike Littwin's coverage of the Comey indictment is worth the read. coloradosun.com/2025/09/28/t...

"This is just the beginning of Trump’s revenge tour, of course. Perhaps he’ll have better luck pinning crimes on other targets. As it stands now, Trump’s opening indictment looks like an embarrassing dud. His opponents should be laughing more than cowering." wapo.st/46zFdvX

Will Republicans in Congress step forward? "They need to do so. Because they control Congress, they alone have the power to hold investigative hearings and issue subpoenas, which would signal to all Americans that Mr. Trump is threatening the fabric of our society." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/o...

Crockett: "I'm gonna honor someone who decided they were going to proclaim I was involved in the 'great white replacement'?

Aides and allies present Trump's attack on free speech as an effort to stop misinformation, violence and hate speech. But Trump himself has made clear that it's not about hate speech, it's about speech that he hates, namely speech that is critical of him. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/21/u...
