They didn’t just NOT give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize, they wrote a citation that reads like an anti-Trump rallying cry. (He’s gonna extra-tariff Norway now, isn’t he?)

María Corina Machado—leader of Venezuelan opposition against Maduro, former member of National Assembly and presidential candidate — has been awarded Nobel Peace Prize “When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist”, Nobel Committee

It really feels like they’re trolling our autocrat.

Trump, a vocal war crimes enthusiast for more than a decade, is mad he didn’t get the nobel so his aides are gonna spend all day humiliating themselves in competition over who can kiss his ass better

BREAKING: Letitia James held Trump accountable & now he’s hijacking the DOJ to indict her in retaliation This isn’t justice, it’s abuse of power We will be amending our existing ethics complaint against Halligan & pursuing other legal measures www.democracydefendersfund.org/prs/10.09.25...

Paul Ingrassia, Trump’s nominee to lead the office investigating Jack Smith, has recently been investigated for harassing a colleague, Politico reports. “Eventually the woman discovered that Ingrassia had arranged ahead of time to have her hotel room canceled so she would have to stay with him..”

$20 BILLION. Remember that we’re being lied to whenever we’re told that we can’t afford something that helps American families.

All to cover up the Epstein files.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

TIER ONE: Americans who Donald Trump pedophiled with: They get shielded from prosecution for the crimes they did commit. TIER TWO: Americans who brought Donald to justice for the crimes he did commit, they get prosecuted as revenge even if they committed no crimes whatsoever.

Eswatini is Africa’s last remaining absolute monarchy. In other words, it's just the kind of country—small, untroubled by democracy, and presumably eager to avoid a superpower’s wrath—with which the Trump administration has been eager to do business.

It’s hard to overstate how grotesque is the prosecution of Letitia James. I hope John Roberts—who unleashed this malignant, vengeful career criminal on our beloved country—is enjoying Trump’s utter abuse of power and trashing of justice and the rule of law.

This is why Dems need to get loud about accountability coming.

Boom there it is! untethered to the facts no credible evidence if that's a judge's view, no degree of deference should dictate the opposite result. This is a really important principle

The Trump administration confirmed that the U.S. bailed out Argentina. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he had directly bought Argentine pesos in global currency markets in a bid to relieve pressure on the nation’s embattled President Javier Milei, a supporter of President Trump.

DOJ prosecutors in Virginia under Erik Seibert didn't believe they gathered enough evidence to charge Letitia James. So Trump pressured Seibert to resign and replaced him with a loyalist (and former personal attorney) who would. Even Nixon made efforts to hide his corruption.

Oopsie

We’re doing studies to prove it (* not how studies work)

BlinkRX, an online prescription drug delivery company, stands to benefit from proposed changes by Trump that would allow pharmaceutical companies to sell drugs directly to patients. His son, Eric Trump, is on the company’s board. Always follow the money.

Congress continues to fail to check Trump’s authoritarian power.

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

I stand with Attorney General Letitia James. This attack won’t silence the truth.

Donald Trump is ordering extrajudicial killings of suspected drug smugglers. He's vilifying his political opponents and threatening to jail them. His ICE agents are terrorizing immigrants and firing chemical agents at peaceful protestors. And some people think he deserves a Nobel Peace Prize?

a very under-the-radar thing happening in Mississippi this fall:

Chicagoans won a temporary restraining order today that prevents federal agents from using tear gas, pepper spray and other weapons against journalists and peaceful protesters. We’re fighting back peacefully in Chicago because — unlike Trump — we believe in the rule of law.

Your timely reminder that Donald Trump tried to claim NYC residence to take a $49,000 tax break on his Manhattan condo while he and Melania lived in the White House, only to get it yanked after my colleague and I caught the misrepresentation.

Correct

Lindsey Halligan indicts Letitia James on one count of bank fraud in EDVA. We are in an absolute nightmare.

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gave ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

someone should tell Trump they don't give the Peace Prize to people who blow up boats and murder those on high seas nor to those who deploy military against their own people. NEVER.

We are witnessing the most lawless behavior by a leader in American history, just daily, extraordinary abuses of power. National Democrats must speak out in a loud and clear voice against Trump's escalating authoritarianism. It is time now.

In 9th Cir argument on appeal of Judge Immergut order, Judge Nelson opines, “The Pres gets to direct his resources as he deems fit, and it just seems a little counterintuitive to me that Portland can come in and say, ‘No. You need to do it differently.’” Really crazy statement and a bad augury.

Real estate investors now own about 20% of single-family homes in the country. A big reason why home prices have skyrocketed in recent years is a lack of supply — and investors sinking their teeth into whatever is left on the market is making the problem even worse.

Video is circulating of some significant spontaneous community resistance to ICE in Aurora, IL today. (Simultaneously—another video is circulating of feds chasing and tasing a man in Bolingbrook.)

Apparently the $20 billion for Argentina was just the beginning of the US bailout according to Bessent today, since so many American oligarchs have big investments there that they can’t afford to lose.

More great news out of federal court today. This was a particularly appalling case in which HSI agents took advantage of this man to get him to sign away his rights during his interrogation inside the ICE Broadview facility.

“Military occupation doesn’t make our city safer. Resources and investment makes our city safer.” thank you Bri and all the other protestors who took the time to speak with me last night in Chicago.

A good read (as usual) from @stevevladeck.bsky.social on the lack of deterrence: "[A] federal officer today faces almost no meaningful specter of losing a damages lawsuit even for actions that violate clearly established constitutional rights." www.stevevladeck.com/p/bonus-182-...

A man was just abducted by ICE on Clark and Lunt, feet away from our campaign office. Now our community is showing up and patrolling for ICE. Join us by getting involved in Protect RP: www.facebook.com/share/1DQqPQ...

ICE is sending people to a prison in Africa’s only absolute monarchy. A copy of the arrangement with Eswatini that Mother Jones reviewed shows that the US has agreed to pay the monarchy $5.1 million to take in up to 160 ICE detainees.

Indiana voters: Let your legislators know you don’t like having elections rigged in your state.

Fascinating moment in the power of DC Think. Democrats are clearly *not* looking for an off ramp right now. They’re actually saying this. Which is a measure of how badly it’s going for the GOP. It’s the GOP that is actually looking for the offeamp.

I sure hope this is just Thune & Barrasso making mouth noises to try to shift the narrative. Because there's not a chance in hell that any "Pay you next week for hamburgers today" deal-i-o between Thune and Schumer would work. The GOP rug pull would be INSTANT once a funding bill passes.

Did you hear about the tiny company based out of a random house in Virginia that won $1.3 billion to build an ICE detention center? How did it get that deal? Turns out a lot of the money is going to a bigger firm—whose owner is friendly with the Trump fam. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

If you're watching the situation in Chicago from afar & want to help, on the off chance you have spare $$, you can give to the Midwest Immigrant Bond Fund, which posts "bond for individuals held in the custody of ICE w ties to IL, IN, KY & WI who cannot afford to pay" www.mibfc.org/helpusgrow

CEOs were paid 281x as much as a typical worker in 2024. The Trump-Republican big ugly bill not only cut taxes for CEOs, it also included a tax break that allows corporations to write off the cost of private jets faster. Is it any wonder why so many think the system is rigged?
