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.

listen. when dolly parton’s sister says it’s time for us all to be prayer warriors for dolly. you fucking pray for dolly

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

Stephen Miller just said the quiet part out loud claiming that Trump has plenary authority when it comes to deploying troops. (Plenary means full authority.) After making the statement, he froze completely, like a deer in headlights. The video is worth watching.

👀 😂 @mikenellis.bsky.social

Notice how they’re now calling everyone else an “insurrectionist.” Pure projection.

The guy who literally incited an insurrection is now threatening to use the Insurrection Act to torment Americans who do not support him. (…because he literally incited an insurrection)

Sen. Ruben Gallego says the impacts of the shutdown pale in comparison to the calamity that would ensue if the Obamacare subsidies expire: “If we don’t get ACA tax credit extensions, over 100,000 Arizonans are going to double their premiums on their health insurance. That’s painful and permanent.”

The people have the power. TSA and Air Traffic Controllers need to massively call in sick and bring it all to a halt. We can stay home. Democrats will gain the power here.

THE CHICKENS ARE FINALLY COMING HOME TO ROOST Ryan Walters is out & the investigation floodgates just opened. The Oklahoma AG launched a full audit of Walters’ entire tenure as Superintendent, and it’s about damn time. Also the education dept website’s being scrubbed of his culture-war nonsense. 🧵

Healthcare should be guaranteed as a human right #MedicareForAll @salaambhattiva.bsky.social

Robert Reich predicted this

Yes, very weird. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Christ follower enters the chat

Want to stop the government shutdown? We have the power. TSA, time for all of you to call in sick. Refuse to go back to work until they come to an agreement on healthcare. You’re not getting paid and this dictator has proven he won’t honor anything, including your backpay. Rise up. Let’s go!

Every Republican who stands by while Trump dangerously escalates this conflict with Democrat-led cities and states is complicit in his crimes.

Bonta: Just minutes before the hearing, we got word that the Texas National Guard has been federalized. We asked the judge to issue a broad order — one that applies to every National Guard unit in every state — stating that none of them can be deployed to Oregon. She issued that order

BREAKING: Judge Immergut has GRANTED a 2nd TRO blocking National Guard from ANY state be sent to Oregon. She was very annoyed the DOJ circumvented her order from yesterday. I'll be joining Adam Klasfeld on Substack live to discuss in a few minutes...

BREAKING: We just won in court — again. A federal judge BLOCKED Donald Trump’s unlawful attempt to DEPLOY 300 OF OUR NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND.

It’s even less responsible for a Republican president to be starting one.

And that, folks, is the way it's done.

She. Was. Pissed.

BOOM 🔥: Judge Immergut issues a second Temporary Restraining Order prohibiting the relocation, federalization, or deployment of ANY NATIONAL GUARD FROM ANY STATE into the state of Oregon.

And with that, we are done. Thanks to all who followed along! If you appreciate @lawfaremedia.org's live courts coverage and legal analysis, I hope you'll consider supporting our non-profit newsroom: givebutter.com/journalism/a...

Jane Riley for CA asks about the duration of the new TRO. Immergut replies that it would expire in 14 days [notwithstanding further order of the court].... For DOJ, Hamilton asks court to rule on motion for stay. Immergut: I'm denying motion for stay and administrative stay.

Immergut states for the record that she is basing new TRO on all of the reasons that were in my prior opinion granting first motion and the same reasons and apply...The deployment of the federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, she says.

Immergut: What I'll do is not modify my original TRO but issue a new TRO that prohibits the relocation or deployment of any federalized national guard to the state of Oregon....

Thank you to the warriors reporting this!!!! The judge ruled from the BENCH - a second TRO!!! Go Judge Immergut!!!!!!! We need more of you!!!

Immergut: I'm handling this on expedited basis, but defendants haven't provided new info. SHE RULES FROM THE BENCH: I grant the plaintiffs motion for a second TRO based on reasons stated in previous order...

A WILD ONE: A man broke his leg during an arrest by ICE at a car wash south of L.A. ICE has held him under 24/7 guard at a hospital, registering him under a pseudonym, for *37 days* without telling him why. A judge has ordered his immediate release. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Oregon AG Rayfield: Huge win at this moment in our democracy right now. This is the president that is normalizing the use of the United States military in our country. So to get this strong of a ruling out today for the public to see—it’s incredibly important.

Oregon AG Rayfield: The first thing that might’ve told you the federal government wasn’t doing so hot was when they started off some of their arguments by talking about Truth Social as their source of facts. Actually got a comment from the judge: “Is this really how you’re going to move forward?”

Miller has Fascist Hissy #3 today after another court ruling. This one from a judge appointed by radical left marxist Donald J Trump.

You're either with ICE or with humanity and democracy. Choose.

While you and I are worried about our healthcare premiums going up, the cuts to Medicaid that will force so many rural hospitals to close, making sure that those serving our country get paid... Republican Senators are going to a LUXURY GOLF RESORT for a fundraiser during the Government Shutdown

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

In order for the United States to become a party to the International Criminal Court and have our officials be subject to trial at The Hague, the US Senate would need to ratify the Rome statute by a two-thirds vote. Let’s start running on that.

Happy 33rd Anniversary to the Obamas! 🥂 #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

BREAKING: House ranking member Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) calls on Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to testify on Epstein revelations.

Kristi Noem is mad they wouldn’t let her in to use the restroom in Illinois today.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 3 OCTOBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES A WEEK FROM HELL PEDO POTUS 25th Amendment NOW totally unhinged The Cowardly Republicans of the House and Senate BUT TONIGHT JOY HAPPY 33RD WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO PRESIDENT OBAMA & FIRST LADY MICHELLE OBAMA All our love

"'That fucking dumbass,' one of the senior Trump administration officials told Zeteo on Wednesday, after seeing a clip of Lutnick riffing on Epstein. 'I’ve worked with him ... He just talks and talks, and doesn’t care what unhelpful bullshit comes out.'"

Keep On Trolling Gavin......

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

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick. Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

They’re baaack. 🤣 Repairs and all…

The Cubs beat the Padres, 3-1, to advance to the NLDS against the Brewers. This is the 1st time in franchise history Cubs won a winner-takes-all playoff game at Wrigley and their 1st postseason series win since 2017.
