Trump has begun dismissing federal workers, with furloughed staff at the Department of Health and Human Services now facing permanent layoffs. The cuts are hitting the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention especially hard.

I like her …

The judge called the Department of Homeland Security’s assessment of protests in the Chicago area “unreliable.”

Not today, Satan‼️

Judge rules federal agents can't deploy chemical irritants at journalists, protesters who don't pose threats From my colleagues @chicago.suntimes.com: chicago.suntimes.com/news/2025/10...

The corruption and self-dealing is staring you in the face. Hello?

Amazing what happens when you give the guy a plane

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela.

Some civilian employees at U.S. Navy bases overseas are getting the service's help explaining to landlords why their rent may not be paid on time as the partial federal government shutdown drags into its second week.

And red state leaders took credit.

YES! MORE OF THIS! Thank you Brigadier General Alan R. Gronewold from Oregon’s National Guard 🙏 Source: www.oregonlive.com/politics/202... #Oregon #Portland #50501Movement

Donald Trump is breaching the Constitution and breaking the law. A show of force so he can militarize our cities because of the 2026 elections. We need to stand up together and speak up.

President Gustavo Petro of Colombia said his government believed one of the boats recently bombed by the United States in its campaign against alleged drug traffickers had been carrying Colombian citizens, not drug traffickers.

It's Banned Books Week! Have you checked out our new Book Ban Map? We developed the map in collaboration with ALA Office for Intellectual Freedom and PEN America! lflib.org/book-ban-map

The counterterrorism experts have arrived at the White House..

Michigan Avenue right now.

Didn't Trump already have his annual check up in April?

👏👏

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

New from me at The Dispatch: DHS says it's illegal to videotape ICE agents. That's not what the courts say. @thedispatchmedia.bsky.social

He just said it. 100% unironically and unmistakably. “We took the freedom of speech away.”

We would like to thank Kristi Noem for bringing cameras with her everywhere and collecting evidence for her future trial at The Hague.

Sit this one out, pixie twiggy boy.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

I’m shocked.

National Guard troops are positioned outside Chicago and could be in Memphis, as President Donald Trump’s administration pushes ahead with an aggressive policy toward big-city crime. Trump has called Chicago a “hellhole” of crime, although police statistics show significant drops in most crimes.

This Reuters headline. Oof. Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

This you, Kristi?

Murray: I talked to a family that’s paying about $300 a month for their health insurance. It’s going to jump to over $1,800 per month. Many people will turn away and not pay for it—obviously, they’ll lose their health insurance. The fewer people who have insurance, the more everybody pays.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

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.

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Today marks the two-year anniversary of the horrific October 7 attack. As we mourn the 1,218 lives lost that day, let us also keep alive the dream of a lasting peace and a better future for all. Ceasefire now. Every hostage must come home. And a safer world for everyone.

“We are home now. We marched from the park to ICE, very peaceful crowd. We were standing around ICE pushed us down, sprayed us with chemical and I was hit in the head with a projectile. This was so unprovoked. People have to know that the Feds are attacking people with NO provocation whatsoever.”

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her
