Reminder Tom Holman former ICE Director accepted cash gifts from undercover FBI agents for Special treatment in Contract awarding. Those FBI Agents were fired and the investigations stopped #BiberyCoverupByRepublicans

Friendly reminder: "I was just following orders" didn't protect those who faced the Nuremberg trials who had once dragged crying women and children from their homes from the consequences of their actions. #Pinks

ICE use tear gas on families in Chicago residential neighborhood—just because citizens gather to film. "Tear gas was deployed in our backyard right next to the Lutheran church," wrote Megan Elk. Just 3 days after judge prohibited tear gas from being used on protesters, clergy, or journalists.

Politico: Trump has opened a massive $500k per person 'pay for play" club for the rich to get access to the White House. But tell us more about Joe Biden's corruption problem.🙄 #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsUnfitForOffice

Sobering words from the German intelligence services - “We must not sit back and assume that a possible Russian attack would come in 2029 at the earliest. We are already under fire today.” For deterrence now we must take the necessary decisions now. www.euractiv.com/news/german-...

This is some of the best political news I've seen in a very long time. There's a clear a way to end the Citizens United precedent by changing state incorporation laws - and now luminaries in both parties are forcing a vote on it in the 2026 election.

Trump's conversation with Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto is caught on a hot mic. Hard to tell exactly what they are talking about, but Subianto asks Trump about meeting Eric Trump and Don Jr, who supposedly have nothing to do with government while they run the family business.

I believe that Trump, Mike Johnson and Greg Abbott should not have started this and continued with it in multiple states to rig the midterms. No Democrats want this, but we can’t unilaterally disarm in the face of multiple threats to fair representation nationwide.

When the best states get together, step aside, the adults who read books are talking 😎

If the Middle East will allow Trump to go ahead with Trump Gaza, we will need to ask ourselves what did he give them in return. That’s the main question. And I dare to say, it’s a question of national security.

Maxwell is receiving preferential treatment — special meal deliveries, guided movement with prison guards during lockdowns, and even secret meetings. It’s disgusting, especially as the victims continue to be gaslit. She is living large as Johnson extends the no congress meetings.

Trump greets the delegate from UAE, which put $2 billion into Trump’s crypto company: “They got a lot of cash. Unlimited cash.”

Corrupt as fuck.

🇩🇪⚠️ German intelligence has stated that Putin is ready to start a war with Europe "at any moment." Moscow intends to test the strength of European borders, and this could happen at any time, stated head of BND.

Thugs. And we're paying for them.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

Many antibiotics have lost effectiveness against common bacterial infections since 2018, the report warned.

Mike Shildt retires as Padres manager, per @sdutkevinacee.bsky.social www.sandiegouniontribune.com/2025/10/13/m...

In Portland, an ambulance was summoned to the ICE office to treat an injured protester (not clear how he was injured). But when the patient was loaded inside, ICE officers refused to let the ambulance leave and threatened to shoot the ambulance driver: www.wweek.com/news/2025/10...

I now realize that for my entire adult life, I've had a very narrow conception of what "supporting and defending the Constitution" means. Standing on business when armed agents of the State are knocking on your door is way more important, by a country mile, than anything I did overseas

We are getting poorer

This is Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY). He wants to repeal the Affordable Care Act. Over 63,000 of his constituents to lose health insurance, if the ACA was repealed. RETWEET to let New York know that RepMikeLawler wants to take away their health care! 👇👇👇👇

Putting this here when Noem is arrested n the evidence of her crimes r investigated. Wouldn’t want this to disappear or get altered or Noem to claim she never made this video. #arrestnoem

Fun Fact: Marijuana users in Idaho can can up to ONE YEAR for possession 3 ounces....THIS PEDO GOT 6 MONTHS..🤔

This explains a lot.

"To bring a democracy under authoritarian control, you need more than a strongman. You need politicians who will assure the public, as we slide toward one-man rule, that nothing odd is happening." Wouldn't you know who one of them is! New from @saletan.bsky.social www.thebulwark.com/p/speaker-mi...

Rather than it being a “hate-America” rally, Saturday’s No Kings rally is an opportunity for all of us who love America to express our determination that our nation’s ideals not be crushed by the Trump regime. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/theyre-calling-it-a-hate-america

Christiane Amanpour: "Even the images we have seen by virtue of iPhones and drones do not paint the full picture of the utter almost total extinction of Gaza." She also says Netanyahu skipped the Peace Summit in Egypt to "satisfy his very far right" supporters.

REPORTER: We know the president moved forward with mass layoffs. We're also learning there were significant cuts to staff at special education services. Are you comfortable with those cuts? MIKE JOHNSON: I haven't seen the specifics of that and I don't know

🪖 Reservists in Russia have been officially allowed to be involved in hostilities abroad, — Russian media ❗️The document opens up the possibility of using the mobilization reserve — about 5 million people outside Russia.

Bessent: "No Kings means no paychecks. No paychecks and no government."

“Why are they upset about the frog?” Because the frog has power. As silly as it sounds. The frog is not just a good idea. It’s our greatest weapon. And I’m going to explain why… 🧵

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou

Are House Republicans going to finally show up to work this week or is their extended vacation going to continue? Many Americans take a week or two vacation if they are lucky during summers. House Republicans take the entire Fall off, after lengthy breaks in Spring and Summer.

Gov. Pritzker on Adelita Grijalva: "Mike Johnson won't swear her in. Why is that? … She'll be the 218th signature forcing a vote to release the Jeffrey Epstein files." "Trump and Mike Johnson are working awfully damn hard to keep a sexual predator's files from being released. Makes you wonder why."

blah blah Hunter Biden blah blah Burisma yada yada

So Kilmer Abrego-Garcia will not challenge a deportation to Costa Rica, who has agreed to for him residency, but DHS won’t agree to send him there because it’s not cruel enough. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/10/u...

Adelita Grijalva is unable to represent her constituents in Congress because Mike Johnson refuses to swear her in. Because he doesn’t want the Epstein files released. #ReleaseAllTheEpsteinFiles #TrumpEpsteinPedoCoverUp youtu.be/1zLKbPMtzr8?...

The freakout in NYC isn’t about Mamdani’s race, but his critics’ perception of his politics (and to some extent his religion).
