If a federal judge, appointed by Trump, can call him “simply untethered to facts,” our White House press corps can as well. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

NEW: Judge Immergut's says Trump's assessment of "war-ravaged" Portland was not made in "good faith" Even under a legal standard that gives the president "great deference," she said, there's no basis for "ignoring the facts on the ground." www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Judge IMMERGUT, a Trump appointee to the bench, ruled that Trump's call-up was based on false claims about unrest in Portland and that Trump's own statements were "simply untethered to the facts." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

BREAKING NEWS: We just secured a court order blocking the president’s order to deploy federalized National Guard troops to Portland when a federal judge granted our request for a Temporary Restraining Order. Read our statement. #orpol #nationalguard #portland #portlandoregon

You. Are. Allowed. To. Insult. The. Police. It’s a core First Amendment principle. This is utterly lawless behavior, for which there will be no (short-term) consequences. That he does it so casually, as they are walking away, in front of cameras. Rightly confident in his impunity.

also, in keeping with Vance’s view of american identity, only white people are fully American with the right to critique or dissent. nonwhites must show proper gratitude (supporting Trump or marrying JD Vance) before they can speak critically of the country (in approved ways, of course)

Absolutely INSANE use of passive voice in this CNN piece just incredible @katmabu.bsky.social “landed on the ground” during the protest???

Your state troopers participated in Friday's fascist photo op attack at Broadview. Get the false charges against protesters dropped immediately!

Please amplify this demand. We need y'all. I was there. We were not in the road. ICE simply let loose on us to film themselves brutalizing and arresting protesters—and state police assisted them. They brought charges against scattered people to create a pretext for this inexcusable violence.

All charges brought against protesters at Broadview today must be dropped. When cops and agents attack crowds without provocation, they make shit up to justify their attacks (in his case, an attack waged on a cooperative crowd to produce fascist social media content). These charges must be dropped.

WTAF?!?! #AbolishICE

What a dark day for press freedom in the United States

I am just so fucking proud of her.

Watch this. This is what this criminal administration wants to do to all of us. Find the groups in your community that are standing up against ICE and join them.

Super interesting 🧵

It’s #JobsDay and the Bureau of Labor Statistics should have released the monthly Employment Situation Summary, a source of reliable economic data with critical information for decisionmakers. But this vital public report was blocked by the government shutdown. A 🧵 www.nelp.org/government-s...

This really is THE issue - you've got a situation where Dems can sweat and bleed to get their stuff in a bipartisan bill, and Rs can nix it with 51 votes (or just impoundment). That's new, and it removes the incentive to deal.

This is evil and indefensible. #AbolishICE

ICE is running around Chicago harassing people for not being white. Just a year ago, that was illegal in the United States and now it’s commonplace. That’s not making America great again.

Very much worth reading parts of Judge William G. Young's ruling taking on the Trump admin's assault on the First Amendment. Notable that a decision from a Reagan appointee is filled with paragraphs like this one. Story here: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Judge Young: "This case ... squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in United States actually have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally 'yes, they do.' 'No law' means 'no law.'"

A pattern is developing where everyone who fights back against a Trump attack inevitably wins with their reputation much better than before, and everyone who caves to him looks like shit and has Trump coming back for more a month later.

A dark day for the rule of law in America. We fought a revolution to not be subject to the arbitrary powers of a tyrant.

We literally just ordered a new bathroom vanity last week and now I feel like we should buy lottery tickets because what are the odds? 🤷🏽‍♂️🍀

very cool that trump is singularly dedicated to making everything in your life more expensive

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

$50K bag of cash given to Tom Homan to steer government contracts to an unknown company is not a one-off scandal, but part of systematic corruption of whole contracting & procurement system of the United States government under Trump. /1 nathannewman.substack.com/p/homans-50k...

Another desperate attempt by people who can’t stand the idea of New Yorkers electing their mayor instead of billionaires buying one.

genuinely believe that a large number of political, economic and media elites do not realize that nearly half the voting public did not vote for trump

That’s me in the video. And a Fox News host just celebrated me being assaulted by ICE. If ICE will do this to a congressional candidate with a big platform, just imagine what they’re doing to the people they’re kidnapping.

Again Bouie from the top rope

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

That's literally false. The Supreme Court has repeatedly held that praising someone's death is protected speech, including in Snyder v Phelps (2011), where protesters at a soldier's funeral held signs that said "Thank God for Dead Soldiers" & "Thank God for 9/11" rollcall.com/2025/09/19/s...

My mom called me last night about the Kimmel firing, saying "This is how Hitler got started!" I quickly responded, "By firing the late night tv hosts?" Turns out, mom was right.

"...And that's why I'm urging all of you to like this post and donate to the Democrats." What is your call to action? What are *you* doing about it? What should *we all* be doing about it? Lead please.

“This is a terrible president and a terrible human being.” Carve it on his gravestone.

Walz: This is North Korea style stuff. And it's being done because this is a weak, thin skinned man who's failing as a president. All of the things he promised are not happening. It's a it's our most cherished freedom to point out very clearly, this is a terrible president

An important reminder, trans people are much more likely to be killed than kill someone else. Trans people are over 4X more likely than cis people to be the victim of a violent crime: williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/press/ncvs-t...

Today demonstrates American politics in a nutshell: •Senate MAGAs: Voted unanimously to change the Senate rules to confirm 48 of Trump’s nominees at once •Senate Dems: Responded by voting unanimously with Senate MAGAs to make Oct 14 the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk *Deep sigh...smh*

There's so much to unpack -- his childish understanding of the world, his raw nerve of grievances, his sociopathy -- but I can't get past what a whiny, pathetic loser you'd have to be as president to stamp your little feet and cry that the media isn't "allowed" to be mean to you. Mom said so guys!

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

I just did this and you should too! Thank you Emily for posting this, raising awareness, and making it easy with the script! I'm so sorry that our government is so awful to trans people, but I'm happy to be able to do my small part to help. 🏳️‍⚧️✊

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

Hochul, belatedly, does the right thing and endorses Mamdani. Makes Schumer and Jeffries look even more ‘spineless’, to quote Sen. Van Hollen.

Every word of this Korean editorial is true, and it could be easily be published in any American newspaper in the news sections.

Hochul writes as if like she was waiting to make sure the candidate she endorses is *aggressive enough* toward Trump: “I needed to know the next mayor would not be someone who would surrender one inch to Trump.” (I’d imagine this to be a huge theme she can wield against Cuomo or Adams.)

I'm so grateful for Governor Hochul's support in unifying our party, her resolve in standing up to Trump, and her focus on making New York affordable. I look forward to the great work we will accomplish together. Our movement is only growing stronger. Onward to November.

I see we're at the "put Jewish people on a special surveillance list" stage of "combating antisemitism"

Any news organization with a shred of decency would fire Brian Kilmeade immediately. There is no gray area about this.
