New in PN: Lessons from a Red Scare "As Emma Goldman hoped, and Louis Post later demonstrated, the American people are capable of turning the tide against repression — even if that effort feels hopeless in the moment."

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Was anyone really expecting TSA to show up and not get paid?

…and unimaginably cruel immigration policies. Miller continues to work in that malicious role, serving at the pleasure of Donald Trump — an evil white nationalist twin spirit who aims to abduct and deport as many brown-skinned immigrants as possible.

WHAT REPUBLICANS WILL DO WITH OUR HEALTHCARE Let's take as an example Mike Johnson's Louisiana district —one of the largest medicaid populations nationwide— a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their healthcare premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what Johnson is doing.

The number of people that go bankrupt every year from medical bills: Canada - 0 Australia- 0 France - 0 Sweden - 0 Norway - 0 Spain - 0 Portugal - 0 UK - 0 Finland - 0 Iceland - 0 Germany - 0 United States - 326,000

'He seemed a bit sapped': New health alarm raised after Trump's military speech

Any possible connection to the Epstein Files?

Today, we begin October, and Day 1 of the federal government shutdown. The air is brisk in Boston this morning. The sun is shining brightly; not a cloud in sight. My Red Sox are still playing ⚾️, at least for now. And donald trump is still only correct about one thing:

No one can deny now that this is indeed an AUTHORITARIAN REGIME!!! The Republican majority in Congress are going to go down in History books as enablers to the end of America's Democratic Republic! I hope their descendants will be very proud when reading what they have done!

#RevolutionNow #OverthrowTrump

There are no words. A psychopath is sitting in the Oval Office, demanding illegal acts from OUR military. 25th amendment NOW!

Our economy was the 'envy of the world' before felon Trump. No Justice www.economist.com/special-repo...

Sen. Roger Marshall: "It seems very disingenuous for the Democrats to be blaming President Trump for these rural hospital struggles. The reason rural hospitals are struggling is because of the bad economy."

FYI. If the Govt shuts down, everyone stays in town including the president but you’re just bored with nothing to do because it’s all messaging and negotiations. GREAT TIME TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Hegseth: "A few months ago I was at the White House when President Trump announced his liberation day for America's trade policy. It was a landmark day. Well, today is another liberation day. The liberation of America's warriors ... you kill people and break things for a living."

Breaking News: Top military officials, called to meet by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in Virginia without explanation, will hear a “rally the troops” message, an official said. Several generals and admirals said the unusual meeting would be both disruptive and expensive.

Moldova faces an attempt by the Kremlin to meddle in its election, according to Bloomberg and the BBC.

More than 400 celebrities are backing Jimmy Kimmel and speaking out against “government threats to our freedom of speech” in an open letter organized by the ACLU: https://cnn.it/47UWyR1

NEW: Trump is slated to meet with Democratic leaders this week ahead of the shutdown deadline.

This resembles the situation in Germany 1933: The leadership class were more concerned with safeguarding their own economical and social status than being ready to defend the integrity of the country – and we all know what the result was...

As Trump and his goons strip Americans of our constitutional rights, the silence of the nation’s leadership class is deafening. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/america-without-a-leadership-class

Trump ICE Thugs Repeatedly Violently Attack Woman Protester

I love this! I live here and my Dutch husband sent to me. At least the Netherlands has freedom of speech.

Jon Stewart went full “obedient state media comedy” last night and if you’ve not seen it, you really should. ew.com/the-daily-sh...

One of Trump's first executive orders upon returning to office ensured that “no Federal Government officer, employee, or agent” would engage or facilitate “any conduct that would unconstitutionally abridge the free speech of any American citizen.” newrepublic.com/post/200646/...

WTF! ICE agents are cosplaying as snipers now? Protesters are clashing with ICE outside the immigration processing facility in west suburban Broadview. Agents dragged two protesters, including one pulled inside the building. A chemical agent was reportedly sprayed.

The Kimmel suspension is a much bigger deal than you know. It's really about a growing alliance between Trump and the companies that own America's local TV stations - like Nexstar - to turn local TV into Trump propaganda. 1/ Let me tell you the short story. It's chilling.

Is anyone surprised?

President Trump's administration has approved weapons aid packages for Ukraine, financed by Ukraine's Allies - Reuters. This would be the first use of the mechanism where the US send weapons funded by NATO countries.

Cory Booker tells Kash Patel in a fiery exchange, "You may be in charge of the FBI, but I'm not afraid of you!"

Any Questions?! 👇 Without. A. Doubt. 😎✨

⚡️ Ukraine’s intelligence found 45 foreign components inside a Russian Geran-3 drone — half made by US firms, plus parts from China, Switzerland, Germany, Britain, and Japan.

This is a time for people to come together and push for things we agree on: - Release the Epstein list. - Ban congressional stock trading. - Get corporate and dark money out of politics.

Why are these people doing a bunch of interviews and podcasts in the early stages of a serious criminal investigation? This is just nuts and these people are unserious clowns.

The courts keep rejecting Donald Trump’s illegal attempt to take over the Fed so he can scapegoat away his failure to lower costs for American families. If the courts – including the Supreme Court – continue to uphold the law, Lisa Cook will keep her seat as a Fed Governor.

Polish authorities neutralized a drone flying over government buildings in Warsaw, Prime Minister Donald Tusk wrote in a Facebook post today.

He’s not wrong.
