We’ve reached the point where the President holds roundtables with conspiracy influencers—and his staff echoes Nazi talking points without irony. Appreciating all our documenters, including @hcrichardson.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/heatherc...

@warnock.senate.gov: "You know that it's a critical moment any time Raphael Warnock and Marjorie Taylor Greene are essentially saying the same thing. That doesn't happen often... She saw that the premiums of her own adult children will go up so much in 2026 that their healthcare is unaffordable."

No one signs up for the National Guard thinking, “One day, I’ll invade Oregon.”

Another point to place under the "are they really government?" column of questionable characteristics.

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

I implore my colleagues in the legislature to grant this bill a hearing and a vote this session. Gabriel Lugo, a constituent of mine, spent 15 years locked up for a murder he did not commit, and he deserves a fair chance to put his life back together - as do all those who are wrongfully imprisoned.

Thanks again to @hcrichardson.bsky.social for intense work keeping the record straight.

This is from Marge Greene. You know who has been warning about this for months? Democrats. But the people who had no plan to deal with this crisis and still don’t want you to believe this is about “illegals.”

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Republicans like to claim they aren't actually cutting Medicaid. Which is an easily disproven lie.

In case we've forgotten: English and Spanish are both colonizer languages. Arguing about Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl misses the point — his music is just one of millions of stories of this hemisphere. Taíno, African, Spanish, colonized and reborn. The rhythm of rebirth is growing.

Stephen Miller Accused of Spreading “Authoritarian Propaganda” After Judge Ruling truthout.org/articles/ste... This kind of rhetoric is incredibly dangerous for the judge. Miller constantly deploys deranged rhetoric, even as he claims the left incites violence with its own language.

If ICE agents are proud of what they're doing, then why do they cover their faces like cowards, refuse to identify themselves, and hide behind anonymity?

🚨BREAKING: California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said Sunday his state will sue after President Donald Trump sent 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, according to Newsom. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

A federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from deploying the National Guard in Portland, ruling Saturday in a lawsuit brought by the state and city. https://to.pbs.org/4nLLXwH

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files. Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

We all need to take breaks from this mess. I was able to write something *somewhat* positive this AM before hopping on here. I honestly don't know how @hcrichardson.bsky.social and others are doing it. My additional predictions & hints to keep going: open.substack.com/pub/verbostr...

“There’s a baby!” Guns drawn. Windows smashed. With a 1 month old in the car. (They did this as he was coming home from an immigration court appointment— which is illegal in Colorado: coloradosun.com/2025/10/01/i...)

Jesus Christ. DHS has held this guy in the hospital handcuffed to a bed and under constant guard for over a MONTH without ANY warrant or even ANY steps taken towards putting him into the removal system!

If you allow a government to break the law because of an “emergency”, it will create an emergency to break the law.

No warrants, no probable cause, detaining citizens. Zip tying children, using flash bangs, repelling through people’s windows and destroying their homes at night. This Administration is lawless and abhorrent to our Constitution. We are the frogs in the boiling pot.

Even Marjorie Taylor Greene admitted the GOP could end the shutdown anytime they wanted, they control all the branches of government. Broken clock’s right twice a day.

No Kings in Wisconsin. Or anywhere in the United States. www.nokings.org

There are over 2,200 peaceful protests planned for October 18. Ensuring all of those events and organizers have the training, support, and resources they need is a massive undertaking. Please pitch in if you can to help make No Kings Day historic!

If we had term limits, he'd be long gone. Hopefully we get the chance to change things.

Every Democratic Member of Congress should announce they're donating this month's salary to health care non-profit organizations. Hit Trump and the GOP twice: first for taking a vacation while collecting a paycheck and second for holding the health care of millions of Americans hostage for greed.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens. They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

Let us in. Hold ICE accountable. Tear down the fence. This is what we are demanding from the Broadview ICE facility, and nothing less. Our leaders can decide whether they stand with the people or with ICE. There is no middle ground.

Dear @baldwin.senate.gov and Sen Ron Johnson: My husband pre-ordered an anime figurine from Japan in 2024. First, they said they wouldn't be US shipping at all. Now, they will but he must pay huge tariffs on top of the presale price now. This is the US reality. We The People pay.

Trump’s former “spiritual advisor.”

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

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.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

He's not fit. Arguably, the entire administration isn't.

He doesn't deny Trump's unhinged and unwell.

Swear her in.

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief at No Kings Day 2.0 on October 18. There are currently over 2,000 events planned nationwide. More details here: https://www.nokings.org

But his ballroom is still being worked on.

BREAKING The Trump admin is using the government shutdown to try to pause Kilmar Abrego Garcia's habeas corpus case, which has a hearing scheduled next week. Abrego's lawyers oppose. Doc storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The VA is joining all the other agencies blaming democrats for the shut down - when in fact - republicans can fund the government without a single democratic vote.

RIP Jane Goodall, one of the most worthy humans ever to be officially immortalised as a Lego minifigure.

“TRUMP HAS PARDONS AND TANKS…. WHAT DO YOU HAVE?” Judge William G. Young answered: “Dear Mr. or Ms. Anonymous, Alone, I have nothing but my sense of duty. Together, We the People of the United States—you and me—have our magnificent Constitution.” Together.
