This is a U.S. citizen being brutally abducted by ICE while his mom pleads for them to stop and the videographer cries for help. The Chicago police do nothing to stop it. They will come for everyone, and they’re not even hiding that anymore. If you are not organizing and resisting yet, get started.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating. When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.

Destruction of our cherished buildings, democratic ideals, public lands, and faith in in our system as he bulldozes his path of corruption, self enrichment, and unrestrained power. A must read from Steven Beschloss.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Breaking news: The Trump administration announced it is moving forward with a controversial land deal to allow for the construction of a road through the Izembek National Wildlife Refuge, a pristine stretch of coastal wildlands in southwest Alaska.

Former career DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni witnessed Trump’s officials lying to a Judge and refused to do the same. So Emil Bove fired him — now he‘s blowing the whistle on the rampant abuse of power at Trump’s DOJ. www.cbsnews.com/news/erez-re...

Israel confirms strikes in Gaza after 'blatant violation' of ceasefire by Hamas

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

California, the time is NOW. You have the POWER! Use it. #Prop50

Democracy is on the line! California can save it. #Prop50

"Asked what percentage of children she imagines should be in public schools going forward, Justice told ProPublica: 'I hope zero. I hope to get to zero.'” by @megomatz.bsky.social / @jsmithrichards.bsky.social

Trump says he has a “concept” of a healthcare plan. Not a plan. A concept. That’s the first tell — because there is no plan. There’s only a blueprint for dismantling what exists, punishing those who struggle, and rewarding those who were born into comfort.

Read this thread about Russell Vought, whose power is comparable to Stephen Miller's. He believes he's "fighting a noble war to defend his 'real America' of white Christian patriarchal rule" by "bending the entire government machine to Trump's will" - while mainstream media whitewashes his evil.

The Trump administration has been spreading anti-vaccine propaganda for months. Tonight, Trump's physician announced he just received a flu shot and a COVID booster.

ANTIFA:

"Sinister, Malevolent, Venomous: Stephen Miller Is Like No Other White House Aide in Modern US History" Miller, the deputy White House chief of staff, has never hidden his disfigured & dangerous psyche. But now Trump has empowered him to execute his fascist impulses, writes John Harwood for Zeteo.

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.

🚨BREAKING: The Republican Party’s top mapmaker testified in federal court Wednesday that while he’s been instructed in the past to preserve minority congressional districts protected by the Voting Rights Act, he received no such direction when drawing Texas’ new gerrymander this summer.

In Trump's America, you're an order of magnitude more likely to get attacked on the street by ICE and the National Guard than by any foreign gang member.

Trump’s Threat to Jail Elected Officials Is a Constitutional Alarm the Media Can’t Ignore

These 8 Trump-appointed judges have accused him of 'blatantly violating the law': analysis

This guy should sue. And this police state action needs to stop. Totally unAmerican.
