“Policy says reporters cannot obtain or solicit any information the Defense Department does not explicitly authorize. Any media who does not sign by 5 p.m. Tuesday has 24 hours to turn in their media credentials and clear out.” Absolute fucking abomination. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

If anyone wonders why we call them wannabe authoritarians, here you go. They’re now shitting on the Bill of Rights.

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board. Right? …right?

NEW: Jim Jordan wants to question Jack Smith about his search of Mar-a-Lago, but Merrick Garland executed that search months before Jack Smith was even appointed. One of several lies in this letter demanding Jack Smith's testimony. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

I prefer governments that don’t try to “take the freedom of speech away.”

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

👀👀👀👀

The question is is this a recession or a collapse?

That’s one scary war chicken 😂

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

I write and publish on a site called Substack. My page is: Therealhoarse.substack.com An annual subscription costs $4.17 a month. While not a huge amount of money, it is large to me… 11/

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.

Fuck this. This is nothing but red meat for Trump’s base. A federal law that *Trump* signed into law guarantees backpay to furloughed workers. There’s no disputing this.

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!

Right wing garbage Joey Gibson and Nick Sortor are back at the Portland protests. This is why I tell everyone phones out. Record everything. These people will try to stage violence or agitate. Record EVERYTHING. We have nothing to hide.

Why did China stop buying US soybeans, Kevin?

“They are treating the country as if it's in a civil war.” @samsteindc.bsky.social on President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago amid a federal judge’s ruling temporarily blocking his deployment of National Guard troops to Portland.

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

I think if you burn an American flag, you’re probably an asshole. That being said, I’ll defend your right to do so with everything I have. Symbolic speech is protected by the First Amendment, and no imaginary executive order from Trump changes that.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

NEW: In Texas redistricting case, a leading political scientist testified that he saw “evidence of intentional discrimination” in the map, which “aggressively seeks to roll back minority power.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE officers stopped a family at gunpoint and smashed the car window on top of the newborn baby. “I was screaming that there was a baby,” cried the mother. “But they didn’t care,” and covered the baby with their bodies, fearing that the glass would hurt him.

I honestly don’t know how we stop this. Watching ICE fast rope in to residential areas like they’re some direct action operation to kill a high value target was fucking nuts. Letting right-wing podcasters go on ICE raids is even more batshit crazy.

Honoring Stevie Ray Vaughan today. (October 3, 1954 – August 27, 1990) SRV was an American blues guitarist. He was born and raised in Dallas, Texas. He was one of the world's most influential electric blues guitarists. SRV is still one of the most revered guitarists today. Rest in peace

History repeats.

Odd, how MAGA couldn't draw enough attention to imaginary children being molested in #Pizzagate, but when it comes to *real* children being molested in #Epsteingate, they desperately want our attention to be elsewhere.

"WASHINGTON, Oct 3 (Reuters)—An FBI agent was relieved of duty for declining to arrange a 'perp walk' of the bureau's former director, James Comey, in front of news media cameras after Comey was federally charged last month, four people briefed on the matter said." www.reuters.com/world/us/fbi...

BREAKING: The final numbers are in for Trump's budget healthcare increase and they are GRIM: Anyone 60 years old and making $75k a year will see an $841 increase to monthly insurance premiums!! #TrumpsHealthCareShutdown

“Senior federal officials have quietly counseled several agencies against firing employees while the government is shut down — as President Donald Trump has suggested he will — warning the strategy may violate appropriations law” Do* violate appropriations law

📌 The entire world 🌎 is laughing at America now 🐥

'Not true': Fox News host hit with fact check from Dem on health care for 'illegals'

In all the chaos, I would urge folks to remember that a lot of folks now don’t know when their next check will come. The vast majority are good people who love this nation deeply, and many of them are still working despite not knowing when they’ll be paid Have compassion.

Enjoy some truth about the #TrumpShutdown @markwarner.bsky.social

Biden in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Trump in office, GOP House and Senate: DEMOCRAT SHUTDOWN!! Allowing one party to control the media narrative because they’re loud and dumb is absolutely ruining people’s understanding of how anything works.

ADP numbers for September were -32,000 on a projection of +51,000. August was revised to -3,000, marking the first consecutive negative months since the heights of Covid. This is bad.

Erasing history.
