@midastouchmedia.bsky.social Apparently this video was re edited to cut out Miller’s long long freeze after the word “plenary” www.reddit.com/r/law/commen...

En el lado correcto de la historia. Frente a los genocidas y sus cómplices.

Trump DOJ successfully pressed the Obama-appointed judge assigned to the Portland National Guard case to recuse himself, and the case got reassigned to a Trump appointee. But based on some of her questions today, it might not be the advantage the admin hoped for:

I think a good prosecutor could get Roberts convicted for treason

This by @katmabu.bsky.social is the best speech I've heard yet by any politician about what ICE/Trump/Noem is doing and it's not close.

NIGHTMARE FUEL

Update: The Committee to Protect Journalists says Mario Guevara was deported from the United States early Friday. www.democracynow.org/2025/10/3/ma...

Jane Fonda and hundreds of members of the entertainment industry have revived the Committee for the First Amendment, a free-expression group that was originally formed by Hollywood stars including her father, Henry Fonda, during the McCarthy era.

DOKOUPIL: Republicans says what you're really fighting for is taxpayer dollars for illegal aliens. I know that's not strictly true-- ELIZABETH WARREN: Excuse me, not strictly true? It is a flat out lie!

All those 2024 media fact-checks that said, “Donald Trump and the Trump campaign deny any connection to Project 2025” look pretty ridiculous right now. A Trump denial is not a fact. You just used his lies to “debunk” a reality that was obvious to anyone paying attention.

Why isn’t everyone saying this? The emperor has no executive function.

When Trump threatens to nix funding to NYC if Zohran Mamdani wins, it only helps Zohran. It inflates the Trump threat, positions Zohran as a fighter for NYC against Trump, and pushes Cuomo into the role of Trump stooge. There's a lesson here for Dems. New from me: newrepublic.com/article/2011...

All blue states. What a surprise. I guess all we can do is vote out every single Republican candidate for every office in those states since none of them will speak up or do anything. And the Appropriations Chair Susan Collins.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

WATCH: @decodingfoxnews.bsky.social brings the receipts for @jessicatarlov.bsky.social’s on point 🎯 commentary on Fox about right-wing violence being more prevalent👇🏽 (despite Lawrence Jones’ gaslighting)

The government is shut down. For those just tuning in, here’s what happened:   1) We said we needed to help Americans pay their health insurance bills.   2) Republicans hated the idea and stonewalled us.   3) They shut down the government (which they control all chambers of) without negotiating.

Expect to see a lot of this citation going forward on court dockets, particularly in civil cases like this.

I was sent this by a Georgian this morning. 2025 premiums vs 2026 premiums for someone making $65k a year. Republicans in Washington did this. This is what I'm fighting to stop. This is what’s at stake in this shutdown fight.

There is no other option to consider. Schumer simply can NOT remain in this leadership post! And we must DEMAND our elected Dems publicly force Schumer and Jeffries to facilitate daily press briefings to fact check Trump lies. NOW!

The Broadview Police Department has opened a criminal investigation after an ICE agent allegedly shot a pepper ball at a WBBM-Ch. 2 reporter’s truck Sunday morning outside the agency’s holding facility, which has been at the center of heated protests from concerned citizens and politicians.

A victim of the shooting at the ICE facility is UNCONSCIOUS, in critical care, may not survive, his wife is about to give birth, and ICE IS KEEPING HIM SHACKLED TO HIS HOSPITAL BED: I just unlocked a new level of rage. www.npr.org/2025/09/27/n...

Re Tylenol: “Evaluating competing scientific claims is hard work. It requires the ability to parse complex studies, distinguish correlation from causation, weigh evidence and spot bias.” Robert Pondiscio in the 74. www.the74million.org/article/tyle...

Gavin Newsom: "It was Hannity, all these guys -- 'Outraged! Offended! Disgusted!' Because we put a mirror up to Trump and the absurdity of what's going on in this country, the absurdity of Donald Trump, the absurdity of these networks playing into it"

This ought to be engraved somewhere.

Disney paid $16 million to Trump to settle a bogus lawsuit involving George Stephanopoulos. Disney fired Terry Moran for calling Stephen Miller a “world-class hater.” Disney suspended Jimmy Kimmel. That Disney has walked back one of those after immense public pressure doesn't change who they are.

As People Mag Points out, a treatment for autism Dr. Oz just announced Trump’s FDA is approving is sold by a supplement company owned by… Dr. Oz. people.com/what-is-leuc...

Remember, it’s someone’s job to figure out how to do this—and then do it.

What she said!

Gupta: It is safe. That’s what the best-quality research shows. And how irresponsible, using the podium of the WH to put this out there when you’re not even offering an alternative. That is dangerous. An untreated fever is dangerous. Untreated pain in pregnancy is dangerous.

the Tom Homan bribery scandal is the latest example of how a felon in the White House is making crime legal

Roll the tape.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Republicans had a chance to stop YOUR health care premiums from going up—they chose to skip town instead.   Now, health care costs are going to skyrocket—by as much as 21% in WA state alone.   Democrats are doing everything we can to force Republicans to address this crisis.

Trump and his movement have created an atmosphere of fear that many, many others down the right-wing food chain zealously enforce. Teachers are losing their jobs. Soldiers are facing discipline. And it sure isn’t Trump firing them. trib.al/ReNyvtJ

Murphy continues to be a really clear voice

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

so the president just tweeted out an offense worse than watergate, we all realize that right?

“52% of all autocratization episodes become U-Turns, which increases to 73% when focusing on the last 30 years. The vast majority of U-Turns (90%) lead to restored or even improved levels of democracy” V-Dem data

Here’s all the ways you can take action against Disney, ABC, Sinclair, and Nexstar for silencing Jimmy Kimmel and attacking free speech. Share WIDELY. #BOYCOTTDISNEYABC

Yesterday, @hcrichardson.bsky.social published a video simply entitled "The United States Constitution." If you haven't watched it yet, you should go watch it now.

The purpose of the enemies list is to punish or cancel someone. The Professor Watchlist was started in 2016, allegedly when left-wing cancel culture was in the ascendency. But this approach has been in use on the right since the 1950s. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/enemies-li...

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot. one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing. #twill www.wbez.org/politics/202...

CARTOON OF THE DAY 🇺🇸

The economics of patronage politics.

One week of intense conversations in Kyiv convinced me that Ukraine has no need for Trump any longer. Ukraine can produce all the arms it needs, but it needs financing, which Europe can and must deliver. Trump has swiftly ended the time of US superpower.
