🚨Facts.

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

ICE said they were after “illegal immigrants.” Then they targeted anyone brown, anyone Black, the homeless, even journalists. And they’re just getting started. If you’re wondering how 1933 Germany felt—look around. You’re living it.

Deputy AG Todd Blanche is threatening to arrest top California officials.

A federal judge ORDERS senior Border Patrol officer Greg Bovino—the face of Chicago's Operation Midway Blitz — to attend in person at a hearing she just set on Tuesday. He's accused of violating her order by lobbing tear gas into a crowd. More on Bovino www.allrisenews.com/p/general-sc...

Stephen Miller on Fox threatens to arrest JB Pritzker for "seditious conspiracy" and says, "to all ICE officers: you have federal immunity in the conduct of your duties. And anybody who lays a hand on you or tries to stop or obstruct you is committing a felony."

The White House's East Wing construction rubble was taken to East Potomac Golf Course. It was reported that the rubble will be used to create mounds on the golf course. Read more: bit.ly/4oa2tXA

Federal agents tear gassing the Lake View neighborhood.

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago. masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets. this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

If Joffrey Baratheon grew up to be an American president, this is pretty much what it would look like.

No words.

This is what @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn & Trump refuse to even discuss, as even Marge points out. It’s not that we can’t afford Medicare for All, it’s that we can’t afford not to do it. How much longer are y’all gonna let this go on?

When you can be accused of a crime by this regimes Gestapo without proof, it’s shows to what extent they’ve weakened the rule of law

Priorities.

🚨Illinois State Representative and Congressional Candidate, Hoan Huynh, was surrounded by ICE agents while one of them pulled a gun on him in NW Chicago this morning.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting. They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

during the 2016 campaign, the Boston Globe ran a scary mockup front page of what a world where Trump was president would look like, and it’s pretty tame compared to a random Friday morning’s headlines now

“.. Villagers said the corpse had burn marks on its face and was missing limbs, as if it had been mangled by an explosion. .. Who were they? Did a U.S. strike kill them? Will more bodies appear on Trinidad’s beaches?” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/w...

Quid Pro Zhao

it blows my mind that anyone is still pretending like trump is anything but a dictator, here is steve bannon talking about how they, in clear and certain terms, intends to install trump as president in 2028

This is not a Kavanaugh stop. This is a Roberts murder.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public. In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

The “logic” that the government can assassinate random people from Colombia that it suspects of selling drugs with no process because they are at “war” means these people believe they can kill anyone they want whenever they want.

Pretty cool that the unflinchingly corrupt leader of our country is so dumb, so corrupt, and so malleable that he doesn’t have the first clue who he’s letting out of jail or why.

"Destruction of federal property is a federal crime-18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines it as willfully injuring or committing any depredation of U.S. gov't property-Damage exceeding $1k is a felony w/ a fine-up to 10 yrs in prison or both" Meanwhile-took me forever to get permits to repaint my mailbox.

Hey, he’s only the president, how is he supposed to know who he is pardoning

ICE now has a budget bigger than most militaries around the world and has increased spending on weapons. It's also engaging in a race to recruit 10,000 new agents who will eventually be out in American streets. Some will be vetted, but how many unqualified recruits will fall through the cracks?

He is sundowning again

COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that? TRUMP: Which one was that? COLLINS: The founder of Binance TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle. Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Total federal spending is up +7% in 2025 over 2024 year-to-date to Oct 20. The story that the fed govt is tightening its belt is contradicted by its own real-time expenditure data. Admin spectacularly hammering some things but raising spending elsewhere. Was -7% just after Inauguration Day.

Q: Can the president tear down anything he wants without oversight? Could he demolish this building or the Jefferson Memorial? LEAVITT: Only for vertical construction will a submission be required. Q: So it sounds like the answer is yes

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.

If republicans are fine with this, is there any reason why he couldn't just... knock down the lincoln memorial? or the vietnam wall? What else might he want to do to arlington cemetary besides putting his big weird french arch with gold dingleberries in front of it? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

Trump rewarded Changpeng Zhao, a business partner who boosted his crypto venture, with a pardon for crimes that Zhao pleaded guilty to. Trading presidential favors for self-interest. You can’t get more classically corrupt than this.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

"When Democrats or liberals question the morals of Trump voters, the press treats it as a major scandal. But Trump expresses a desire to cover protestors with feces — essentially saying that anyone who disagrees with him is shit — the media is barely willing to talk about it. Why?"

Leavitt: "At this moment in time, of course, the ballroom is really the president's main priority."

New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST

Good: Jamie Raskin tells me he's formally demanding any/all internal communications between WH and DOJ on Trump's $230 million payoff. More Dems should talk this way about Trump's criming. He's turning the presidency into a massive Bribe Delivery System. New piece: newrepublic.com/article/2021...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them. By @nicolefoy.bsky.social

Health insurance costs jumped for workers & employers in 2025. This will get worse if the GOP refuses to extend ACA subsidies. Meanwhile, the seven largest health insurance companies made a combined $71B in profits in 2024. Still not sure we need Medicare for All?

Glad ICE is getting called out for plate swapping in Illinois, but this has been happening in California from the jump.

😕

NBC News finds that: -- ICE has shortened its training from 13 weeks to six. -- Nearly half of recruits couldn’t pass an open-book written exam. -- Recruits "are supposed to attest" they can pass the physical-fitness test, which requires them to run ... 6 mph. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

BREAKING: Letitia James has announced a Government portal for Videos and images of ICE Agents who may have committed crimes. Please Use it and SHARE! ag.ny.gov/federal-acti...

New in PN: Trump shits on us. Why doesn’t the media care? "Millions exercised their rights & Trump’s response was burying them in virtual feces. At best it's juvenile; at worst an ugly attack on the democratic spirit. Either way, it’s very offensive. You’d think journos would want to talk about it"
