Oooops

Snipers on the roof, pointing their guns at peaceful protesters. Welcome to Nazi America.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

FBI Director Kash Patel’s insistence that the bureau has been delivering “transparency” didn’t go to plan.

Jack Smith didn't "tap" anyone's phone. He got phone records of potential insurrection suspects via lawful grand jury subpoenas. Just so happens some of those suspected of participating in January 6th were republican members of congress. If you don't want you phone records subpoenaed...

Here’s the CBS News report about ICE making bogus 911 calls and filing false police reports in Chicago. ht: @mikenellis.bsky.social

Mike Johnson says he'll swear in @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social as soon as she wants. Okay, so how about today?

The city of Hialeah, a Cuban-American neighborhood in FL, enrolled more people under the ACA than anywhere else in the country. That coverage is now at risk. Democrats passed it, Democrats protect it, and Democrats will keep fighting for affordable care for all. www.politico.com/story/2015/0...

@schiff.senate.gov v Bondi, and he's got all the cards, to coin a phrase. What a mess we're in.

I’m sorry. Only the Trump administration is allowed to dox judges and Democrats

“No money shall be drawn from the treasury, but in Consequence of Appropriations made by Law.”

Bari Weiss once wrote an NYT column under the headline "We're All Fascists Now." She said Dave Rubin was called an "anti-Fascist lieutenant" by lefties. She linked to a Twitter account called "Official Antifa" (left). The most amazing correction followed. (right) web.archive.org/web/20180307...

Jeffries: "Johnson has to actually answer that Q as to why Republicans have refused to seat Rep.-elect Grijalva. Why?... when it comes to enacting tax breaks for Republican donors, they race to do it...she will be the 218th signature on a petition to force a vote on the release of the Epstein files"

#ProudBlue “We don’t need a warrant… f–k off,” one of them responded. The agents also said that it did not matter what her citizenship was and alleged that she was impeding an investigation.” ICE while arresting an American citizen. No. One. Is. Safe! www.lakemchenryscanner.com/2025/10/06/w...

The firehose of corruption makes the reality of it staggering. And that’s the point. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Just as a reminder, Bondi’s origin story in Trump world is that she said she was going to investigate Trump University, Trump sent her a $25K check and the investigation disappeared. She later became Trump’s personal defense lawyer. So yeah, don’t challenge her integrity.

This is a @brianbeutler.bsky.social point, I think, but Garland was careful to a fault not to coordinate w Biden, not to jump on Trump cases too fast, etc - even appointed special counsel to probe Hunter. His reward: Republicans just insisting Biden/Garland coordinated and targeted their enemies.

If this was a no, it would be really easy to say no. Bondi’s ad hominem attack on Whitehouse is WAY more of an answer than she realizes.

These are all quotes by Trump-appointed judges. Pretty damning, wouldn’t you say? 😡

Most Americans think Jan. 6 was quite bad; unfortunately that group does not include the president, the top federal law enforcement officials, virtually all GOP politicians, and the media megaphone supporting them all. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/why...

A Rutgers professor has been forced to flee the country for his safety, after targeting by a far-right student group that was *checks notes* claiming they felt unsafe. I'm horrified. I'm angry. A short 🧵 #AcademicFreedom #Rutgers #violence #antifa www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’m a career prosecutor who took a $25,000 check from an affiliated entity of Donald Trump’s while investigating Trump University and later left my lobbying firm to become Donald Trump’s personal impeachment lawyer, White House aide, and Attorney General. So don’t you DARE question my integrity.

When it comes to redrawing maps that expand Republican power, Adam Kincaid is your artist. His most recent work? Texas’ mid-decade gerrymander that could secure five more GOP seats in Congress. And today, he’ll defend it in court.

This is encouraging. Californians understood the assignment. We got loud and spread the word on Prop 50. This is a fight against Republican anti-democratic tactics, but we still have to vote. Get those ballots in, early voting has started. We’re going to pass Prop 50.

Hirono to Bondi: "It's very clear to me that when the president posts something like, that he considers the DOJ to be his law firm and you his lawyer."

WHITEHOUSE: How many suspicious activity reports did you investigate out of the hundreds related to accounts of Jeffrey Epstein? BONDI: I'm not sure if you're concerned, because you took money I believe from Reid Hoffman, if that's correct WHITEHOUSE: You seem to have looked at 0 of them

This is how propaganda works. They slapped an image on this from Los Angeles in 1992 during Rodney King riots.

"Different Times" I am now solely owned by Donald Trump COMPROMISED Not the Constitution Not the oath of Speaker of the House Plus those #EpsteinFiles

After threatening that furloughed federal workers might not receive backpay after all, Mike Johnson tries to clarify that *of course* he thinks they *should* get backpay.

After Jesse Watters said last week that America needed to bomb or “maybe gas” the United Nations headquarters, the UN reached out to Fox News and Watters privately apologized. The incident is part of a much larger pattern: www.mediamatters.org/jesse-watter...

"None of what Trump has done since retaking office should come as a shock... It’s a shame that many of the content creators who helped put him back in office only seem to be realizing it now."

One trademark of the second Trump administration is the open and seething contempt that his Cabinet officials have for Congress. They don't see elected officials or their oversight function as legitimate. (see also RFK Jr, Kash Patel).

Someone saying "Let's do the fucking news" is the ultimate sign that person has never, ever worked in a real newsroom (the fantasyland of the NYT Opinion section doesn't count)

Look, it's not like this is his job or something. Jeez.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse asked Pam Bondi about DOJ's decision to drop the investigation into Tom Homan. MSNBC first reported that Homan was recorded in Sept. 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover FBI sting. Bondi refused to answer, then attacked Whitehouse.

Bondi won't answer Klobuchar's question about if she was directed by the White House to prosecuted Comey but lies that Trump "is the most transparent president in American history"

I rag on DOJ lawyers. And they deserve it. But one frequent & reliable red flag is when career DOJ lawyers won’t cooperate.

This picture is from 1992 in LA and using it in this post and story shows terrible news judgment.

This should be seen as authoritarian: A refusal to allow the work of oversight to be done, masquerading as a debating club when she ought to be answering questions.

Her contempt is extraordinary. Trump thinks he's a king. He believes he's accountable to no one. Not Congress. Not the American people. And so when his people testify before the Senate, they act like they are bound by no rules and no laws.

Grassley claims the DOJ investigation of Trump's scheme to void the outcome of the 2020 election, and of the attempt by a violent mob to kill the Vice President, was a heinous crime.

Do CBS News executives understand that MAGA will not be in power forever? I genuinely think this is lost on a lot of people. They've gotten scammed by bad actors into believing Trump's 2024 win represented something seismic and even permanent. I predict they'll look back on this as a serious error.

The Wall Street Journal reports Trump reassigned federal law enforcement dedicated to stop child sex trafficking to spreading mulch in DC. I wonder why?

FPD for Sydney Reid (a woman accused of assault after cops manhandled her for filming an ICE arrest) say that the government did not preserve video that one of the officers watching took, which she claims is exculpatory. They're moving to dismiss the case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ghislaine’s good friend👫 It’s Tuesday. There are 392 days until the midterm elections. Don’t fly out of Burbank, a country singer sees the light and Trump might pardon his child-trafficking friend.
