10th boat blown up in the Caribbean. 6 people dead this time. Not a single arrest made. Not an ounce recovered. Not a shred of evidence provided.

Watch my supercut of things Mike Johnson doesn’t know. You can see the whole show here: www.youtube.com/live/Ams4OLn...

Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton. I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

The war zone in Portland is out of control.

Show up. It matters.

Sydney Reid acquitted. This was a case where someone filming was assaulted, and then arrested and charged with felony assault. The grand jury no billed that, so they took her to trial on a misdemeanor charge. There were a bunch of discovery problems. And now this. Kudos to the FPDS!

🚨Officer Michael Fanone keeping it short and sweet. ✊🏼

John Bolton's indictment, where do you come down on this?

To those attending a protest/march on Saturday, I will be sending my love and strength from Canada to carry with you all. And, as an old Pagan broad, I will be sending up my best protective ritual too. Take care of each other, be PEACEFUL, and be proud. You are all amazing. ❤️

Pam Bondi has basically said anyone visiting the US is subject to arrest and incarceration at any point, if law officials deem the individual a “threat”. Bang goes the rest of the international tourism trade.

This is so ridiculous @kendallyb.bsky.social is talking about the far right political activists the Hodge twins have started a harassment claim against a 8 yr old child! They are claiming the child is trans when they are. What kind of adult harrasses a poor child! This is unacceptable.

Trump routinely calls Jack Smith “deranged.” But in his remarks, Smith illustrated what it looks like to follow rules instead of trampling them. One of these men is engaged in naked, corrupt lawfare. Today's Morning Shots, from @saletan.bsky.social and @billkristolbulwark.bsky.social:

Nothing Christian about Mike "Little" Johnson defending Cory Mills.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

Sanders: Saturday, millions of people are going to come out on a No Kings day. Speaker Johnson said this is a hate America rally because people are coming out expressing their concerns.. It’s not a hate America rally, it's a love America rally.

Maybe Mike meant "stood on" Capitol Police?

Stevens: There’s $1.3 trillion of credit card debt. There are people putting grocery bills on credit cards and then paying interest on them. We are in an affordability crisis. Coffee is up 20%, beef is up 16%, bacon is up over 10%. And now we’re going to see health care costs skyrocket.

Speaker Johnson, you ready to swear me in?

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

You need to see this: “The show of force is the point. They want these images to be out…The Department of Homeland Security is walking around Chicago with a film crew.” @jacobsoboroff.bsky.social

Please be careful this Saturday

At about 0:55, a couple in a nearby car gets out and hurries away with an infant in a carseat to try and escape the tear gas:

Feds ram SUV in chase down residential street in Chicago, then tear-gas crowd The crash happened late Tuesday morning near 105th Street and Avenue N on Chicago’s East Side, resulting in dozens of residents showing up to protest the federal immigration agents. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

Yup.

ICE arrests WGN-TV video producer #Chicago

Chicago, IL. ICE smashes into a random car, jumps out with automatic weapons drawn, abducts the victim after dragging her violently out of her car.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

Not just future historians but CURRENT Americans.

Rev. David Black who was shot multiple times by ICE with rubber bullets speaks.

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!! Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

“No, Speaker Johnson — the No Kings rally on October 18 is not a hate America rally. In fact, it’s quite the contrary: It’s a love America rally.” #NoKings

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

Indigenous Peoples Day

More police brutality!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ @grandparob.bsky.social @grandmasheila.bsky.social x.com/covie_93/sta...

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

We’re eight days away from #NoKings Day, and over 2,500 protests planned in all 50 states and across the world. October 18 is going to be the biggest day of nonviolent protest in US history — because Courage is contagious. social.demcast.com/s/V02Ivg21

Trump in 2017: “Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.” Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.

Ceasefire or PR Move? Hawk on Trump, Netanyahu, Gaza and Trump’s Nobel Prize Dreams youtu.be/VvbGAI-LWO8
