A clear violation of the Hatch Act, which restricts civilian executive branch employees from participating in partisan political activity. And as if irony isn’t already dead, it’s on the DOJ page advising employees they're subject to the Hatch Act. joycevance.substack.com/p/a-note-abo...

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.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

I've been waiting for a good voice to pick up the Argentina/Soybean scandal. Dan Osborn now has. www.centralnebraskatoday.com/2025/10/02/d...

LOUDER!

Apple bending the knee, disgusting.

I wrote this piece about 7th anniversary of Jamal Khashoggi's murder. On the costs of speaking the truth in today's world. And how Jamal's memory still stalks Saudi Arabia--- and the Washington Post. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Marc Elias for ATTORNEY GENERAL when this shit is over!!!!!

They ditched it and the Republicans embraced it with trump.

Seriously? Where is the pushback on all of this shit? This $$ is going into what trump slush fund? COME ON!

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Get Dem bulldogs out In/on media saying all of this!! FIGHT BACK. Take the fight to them! What the hell are you waiting for?!?!

Maybe secretly, Mike Johnson thinks Trump is unwell? The View shocked seeing Mike Johnson refuse to defend Trump on claims that 'he's unwell' www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Anyone shocked about this? All the billionaire money launderers dance with any partner that will make them capable of lining their pockets with more cash.

Billionaire media taking journalism down a heinous path.

@tarapalmeri.bsky.social on Deadline Whitehouse slipped and called Jeffrey Epstein a “predophile”. The perfect name for what he was, a predator and pedophile. @nicollewallace.bsky.social with @timmiller.bsky.social

Administration officials made sure the shutdown doesn’t affect their own priorities. Prioritizing the $20 billion bailout of Argentina’s failing economy as essential so it proceeds. The bailout will help right-wing leader Javier Milei, a Trump ally. heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/october-1-...

Billionaires once again buying media to change its political direction.

Donald Trump defunded the police!

We believe healthcare is a right for every American. But starting today, millions of people will be notified that they are being priced out of their insurance thanks to Republican policies. Enough is enough. The GOP may shut down the government, but we will stand tall for YOU.

A bus of Bronx middle schoolers pulled up to the Capitol this morning for a long-planned field trip just a few hours after the government shut down. All Capitol tours were cancelled as the guides can’t work in shutdown. So I escorted them in myself and gave them a personal tour. They were great!

It's important to name the tools of authoritarianism so we can identify and condemn them with precision. I'm glad we now have a term for ICE's openly racist, degrading immigration arrests: Kavanaugh stops. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Next time you find yourself in a discussion about the differences between liberals, leftists, democratic socialists, moderates, progressives, and never trumpers, remember: billionaires don't give a fuck. We're all the same to them: human capitol stock. And they love it when we fight each other.

Impeach and remove Donald Trump. Now.

An amazing woman, a life well lived. ❤️

Hegseth, whined that “our warriors” are not “led by the most capable & qualified combat leaders. Foolish & reckless politicians had forced the military “to focus on the wrong things” & promoted too many leaders “based on their race, & gender quotas.” heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/september-...

We have an on-the-ground report from Chicago, where the ICE blitz has been met with a community response to protect residents. But some employers are using the abduction campaign to retaliate against and silence worker organizing. From @sarahlazare.bsky.social and @workdaymagazine.bsky.social:

Remember the GOP controls the trifecta and for the umpteenth time cannot control their far right flank or WH interference. On its face, it’s embarrassing when the party controlling everything can’t pass timely legislation because their leadership is so weak.

The Judge subsequently “rejects this testimony” about legitimate reasons for masking “as disingenuous, squalid and dishonorable,” writing that ICE goes masked for a single reason -- to terrorize Americans into quiescence. joycevance.substack.com/p/the-first-...

Fat Man and Little Boy bombed.

The lawsuit against Russ Vought for threatening mass layoffs during a shutdown makes the correct point that a shutdown confers no new authorities to fire employees. Who knows what our Supreme Court will decide but they could do that now, shutdown or not. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social has the story.

Why can’t all of the Democrats be posting social media like this?? Thank you Representative Sarah McBride, the escalator shoutout was top tier 🤌 This is Trump’s Government Shutdown.

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

Newly unsealed bodycam footage proves that the Trump DOJ is pursuing a political prosecution in @replamonica.bsky.social’s case. This damning footage shows how the Trump Administration’s mission is to punish its political enemies regardless of the evidence. youtu.be/V_BnlXe8HQI?...

Wow! This is a welcome surprise. www.cnn.com/2025/09/30/p...

BREAKING: A second Trump-appointed U.S. attorney has been disqualified after a federal judge ruled her appointment invalid. Sigal Chattah is out as US attorney in Nevada, just like Alina Habba in NJ: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

@normornstein.bsky.social looks at the media's obligation to serve the public interest through a very sharp lens — his own role in defining those obligations back in 1997. We've regressed a long way. newrepublic.com/article/2010...

Blueprint poll: 1-Voters blame Republicans for the shutdown (which has been true of every shutdown in US history) 2-Voters see the threat of ignoring Congress's power of the purse as EQUAL to loss of health care subsidies, even though health care is the only thing Dems have been messaging

Actually, you serve the United States of America and swear an oath to the Constitution. Pete serves at the pleasure of the president.

Hey @johnfetterman.com is there any day of the week that you aren't a total ahole? Btw - what the hell happened to you? You been hanging out with RFK?

Y’all. Republicans are FINE with poking holes in the filibuster. They did it ten days ago so they could confirm 48 Trump appointees at once. Don’t let them tell you they can’t pass a CR without Dems. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Sad, but true.

Most of us have had a job where the manager's a complete imbecile but we bite our tongue and endure their lectures and condescending "wisdom". Roughly 800 generals will feel this way today.

would love to hear more congressional democrats say "should we win power next year we are going to treat every one of these as bribes and act accordingly" arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

We've been in a slow-motion government shutdown for months, as the Trump administration withheld appropriated funds and engaged in mass firings. Now we're going to finally admit it. From me and @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social: prospect.org/politics/202...

From @marcelias.bsky.social "We can’t allow ourselves to fall into the trap of normalcy. That’s exactly what Trump wants. The more desensitized to his antics we become, the more power we hand over." newsletters.democracydocket.com/tthe-long-fi...
