Changes to Oklahoma’s curriculum rules make it so teachers aren’t supposed to tell students that the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921 — a defining incident of racial violence in Oklahoma history — was perpetrated by racists. ➡️ Full story: https://propub.li/3WXTkFm

One of the cleverest things that Trumpists figured out is that you don’t have to kill an institution if you can make it kill itself.

JUST IN: 9th Circuit temporarily reinstates Judge Immergut's 1st TRO blocking solely Trump's Oregon National Guard deployment. Both TROs now in effect (CA/TX too). 9th to decide on en banc by Tuesday. Move undercuts DOJ's bid to lift 2nd TRO but court says no msg on merits.

Chris Cillizza is one of the dumbest, most dishonest people on the planet

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...

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

Feds play more games over where to dump Kilmar Abrego Garcia on the global map. Now: Liberia. Reminder: Abrego's lawyers agreed that he'd go to Costa Rica, but feds' insisted on sending him to Uganda, Eswatini & Ghana. A judge's patience is running thin. www.allrisenews.com/p/abrego-gha...

So soon? 😏

(Axios) - Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) thinks the government should break up OpenAI. @axios.com www.axios.com/2025/10/24/b...

Two problems with this excuse: 1) it doesn't address NYT's initial claim not to count crowds, followed by their misrepresentation of the crowd by two orders of magnitude. 2) The shutdown and Dem party are only tangential parts of NoKings.

Things my political comm class wanted to talk about yesterday: -Binance guy pardon & Trump family corruption -Trump wants 230 million from the American people -Trump tore down the White House -High cost of groceries & power bills -High default rate on auto loans -Bad job market -National debt up

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

A Bard College student was kidnapped by ICE and Bard’s administration is advocating for his release and has created a website to assist the rest of the community in joining them. That’s what academic leaders should be doing for their students right now. www.instagram.com/p/DQKSTDJkeF...

Trump groomed Pam Bondi from the time she was 14

“.. 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...

I've seen lawyers ripped for trying to implement a politician's stupid ideas, disciplined for unethical conduct, mocked for ignorance, cautioned for impulsive behavior, or threatened with prosecution. But I have never seen all of that, all at once until now

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol switchboard is (202) 224-3121. #epstein

they do, but most people I've brought it up to this week didn't know it was happening. It's kept off people's algorithmic feeds & local news broadcasts aren't talking about it. It's kind of like every other horrific thing they're doing! people are horrified when they find out! IF THEY FIND OUT

BREAKING on MSNBC: The federal prosecutor in charge of investigating whether Sen. Adam Schiff should be charged with mortgage fraud has told her bosses in Washington she did not think the case was strong enough to move forward — via @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social @carolleonnig.bsky.social

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.

Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

NEW: Letitia James's attorneys ask the court to limit further govt disclosures in the wake of Signal messages sent by "purported interim U.S. Attorney Halligan" to @annabower.bsky.social. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

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

lol. lmao.

What is Mike Johnson doing all day? He claims not to know the "details" of anything happening in Washington. What a useless liar he is.

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...

Oh yeah if there’s anything America just won’t tolerate it’s high-profile criminal cases against athletes

#BREAKING: The Texas Education Agency will remove Fort Worth ISD’s democratically-elected school board and its superintendent, instituting the second-largest state takeover in Texas history, Education Commissioner Mike Morath said Thursday.

Here's the letter, from last week, that @warren.senate.gov sent to Google about the quid pro quo, settling their YouTube lawsuit in exchange for helping to destroy the East Wing. Wyden, Sanders, Blumenthal, and Merkley also signed. www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do...

Updating my LEGO White House

NEW: On inspection reports, the FDA routinely blacks out the names of drugs coming from foreign factories found to have manufacturing failures, keeping information about potentially ineffective or unsafe medications secret from the public.

"In the two years since the state started charging a 4% surtax on incomes over $1 million, the effort has created a $5.7 billion windfall, with the surplus being used to fund bridge repairs, bolster literacy programs and address the transportation system’s budget deficit." Taxing the rich works!

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...

a live look at the demolition of the White House's East Wing for Trump's ballroom

wow. zohran brought one of cuomo’s accusers, charlotte bennett, to the mayoral debate. he asked cuomo what he would say to his 13 accusers of sexual harassment. cuomo said it takes “a certain level of maturity to work in government” and that the cases were resolved anyway. fucking scum.

Ohhh, the east wing is where the woman stuff happened, everything makes a lot more sense now

well i think naming a ballroom after your best friend is something to be celebrated tbh

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

Ordinary people are being so brave. ✪ This Uber driver who keeps challenging the men who just pointed guns at her. Making a record about what just went down including how they refuse to identify themselves. ✪ The woman recording this.

next south park episode satan stumbles into the east wing just as a wrecking ball hits him, killing the butt baby

Feels like a statement from a bipartisan group of former first ladies about the destruction of the east wing could capture some attention ...

Trump HATED the White House when he arrived in 2017. Just hated it.

Last week, we co-hosted debate night bingo with Seniors for Zohran, some of our most enthusiastic and active canvassers, at a community center in Chelsea. They were joined there by a…familiar face. Tune into the final debate tonight at 7pm on NY1, WNYC or YouTube!
