Fun Fact: Donald Trump had a cameo as himself in Two Weeks Notice, a movie where the multi-millionaire developer lead character keeps hiring beautiful but unqualified lawyers as his chief counsel.

Multiple organizers I trust who have been a regular presence at Broadview are advising folks not to protest there tonight. For a number of reasons, they are worried that fatal force could be used against protesters tonight. They are calling for folks to regroup and return Friday morning.

WOW. This entire story is HORRIFIC. This is FOIA of a body cam from the raid in upstate New York the same day as the Hyundai plant. It catches a Border Patrol agent on camera only bragging about denying medical care to migrants detained at the border under Biden — who he says are all "animals." 1/3

Unreal. The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.

Tried to point Dems and liberal funders to this for 20 years. Worked with folks who are far better connected and have been doing the same even longer. Funders keep dropping sporadic money on ads instead of sustained content creation, community building and democratic engagement.

Officials at liberal advocacy groups and immigration organizations tell me they fully expect to be targeted now based on the trumped up pretext that anti-ICE rhetoric constitutes incitement of violence. The Texas ICE shooting heightened their alarm. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2009...

"We are not authoritarian fascists and we will arrest and brutalized anyone who says otherwise."

NEW: ICE agents violently arrested a man in a busy Hyattsville, MD intersection this week, at one point brandishing guns and pointing them at bystanders. I spoke to multiple witnesses—including a local priest whose church is a sanctuary for undocumented people: www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-agents...

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

This is, without any exaggeration, exactly how Putin and Orbán proceeded — using antisemitism to discredit the idea of civil society and political opposition, and as an excuse to undo the rule of law. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/25/u...

If I won the lottery, I think I would still have my stockpile of 2-3 inhalers because I still remember the days of struggling through an asthma attack because I couldn’t afford the inhaler. And now I worry there could be a run on a drug I use because RFK declares it a cure for measles or something.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Important new reporting from @kfaulders.bsky.social and her colleagues at ABC News. abcnews.go.com/US/prosecuto...

thursday, in sum: www.lawdork.com/p/trump-weak...

Count one is: "...falsely stating to a U.S. Senator ... that he, JAMES B. COMEY JR., did not remember “being taught” of PERSON I’s “approval of a plan concerning” PERSON 2 and the 2016 U.S. Presidential election." I FORGOT is now a felony? How is that going to play in Peoria?

This might be the most cynical ploy I've seen from RFK Jr. There are people who are, actually, genuinely, injured by a vaccine (e.g. they get Guillain-Barré Syndrome), this would deplete the vaccine injury compensation fund so there wouldn't be any money for those people.

NEW Quinnipiac poll of registered U.S. voters: • Half now say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza • Only 47% see backing Israel as a U.S. interest, down from 69% in 2023 • 60% oppose more military aid to Israel • 58% favor UN recognition of a Palestinian state www.haaretz.com/us-news/2025...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Rich people feel pretty good right now. But those making less than $100k and especially those under $50k have nosedived since January. Chart by @tracyalloway.bsky.social

Interesting: @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social has introduced a bill that would allow more senior citizens in D.C. to claim an existing reduction on property taxes. Currently a senior has to have 50% ownership of the property to get the tax break, but the bill would make it easier to get there.

Bad Bunny upcoming tour stops: San José ✅ México City ✅ NUEVAYoL ❌ While many of us are disappointed to miss him here, I'm proud he's proactively protecting Latino fans from potential ICE harassment.

The RFK Jr. effect. One father in Colorado told me that he's pretty sure his kids are #ActuallyAutistic. But they're afraid of getting kids screened because of Trump and Kennedy. "What's best for him now is to kind of hide it" he told me about his son. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

I hope the next season of The Pitt includes this.

THE DAILY: President Trump and his inner circle are making millions of $$ from agreements that intersect with America’s national security interests, a NYT investigation found. Eric Lipton explains why these conflicts of interest are unlike anything we’ve seen before www.nytimes.com/2025/09/24/p...

Last year Jack posobiec’s wrote a book called “unhumans” that’s main argument was that democrats and more broadly anyone left of Franco was a degenerate who needed to be eliminated with genocidal brutality.

“The long history of trying to ‘cure’ or eliminate autism has been a history of terrible abuse and dangerous sham treatments." I spoke to @autisticadvocacy.org's Greg Robinson and @drstevenkapp.bsky.social about the awful autism presser yesterday. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Or autistic people!

Not only is the science clear, but there is global consensus on this. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is safe to use as a first-line therapeutic option for fever and pain in pregnancy when medically indicated, at recommended doses, & used for the shortest duration required.

Yup, iHerb, his supplement company, sells leucovorin This administration is just one big grift

This is absolutely beyond the pale—what kind of dangerous game are Drs Makary and Prasad playing at FDA? Ugh

Trump's new H-1B fee of $100K is a haphazard and not-well-targeted way to reform a visa program that is deeply flawed. To fix it, new rules are needed with labor enforcement to ensure fair conditions & pay for migrant & US workers. Here's @epi.org's Policy Watch explainer on the fee and its impact:

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

The vast majority of Americans want vaccines for their kids and for others in their community. Trump is majorly out of step with public opinion on this, including among conservatives.

Trump’s attack on vaccines yesterday — delivered from the White House — “was the most dangerously irresponsible press conference in the realm of public health in American history” @pauloffit.bsky.social told us. More on Trump’s false claims with @lenasun.bsky.social

"In the past, defying court orders would have disqualified a lawyer from consideration for a judgeship. But for Trump and the MAGA movement, it’s their ticket to ride."

My theory of medical evidence is simple: observational studies for me, RCTs for you.

“In some respects this was the most unhinged discussion of autism that I have ever listened to. It was clear that none of the presenters knew much about autism — other than the mothers’ lived experience — and nothing about the existing science. This may be the most difficult day in my career.”

This perfectly encapsulates my concerns — and the dangers of Trump & RFK Jr.’s recklessness and disinformation.

Realizing that the endpoint here is probably massively scaling back screening for autism spectrum disorders, limiting resources for people who need them, but leading to a decline in cases & declaration of victory. "If we stopped testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any."

This is why Congress is so angry about DC’s no turn on red law and why they want to overturn it. Preventing pedestrians and bicyclists from needlessly dying is apparently woke.

If you’re worried about whether the apocalypse has happened or is happening just look around see if you can find a live Jew. That’ll answer your question.

For anyone who has read the actual study, this isn’t surprising. The authors clearly stated that they a) couldn’t draw a definitive causation b) recommend a judicious approach — not a prohibition — where when its needed, it’s used for the shortest amount of time needed.

Public health messengers rightly stressed for decades that the public should listen to the CDC & FDA. Do folks realize the profound damage likely to result from the fact that, of necessity, they now must tell the public not to? Imagine what will happen when the next pandemic starts, for example.

ICE agents/contractors committed numerous crimes to arrest a father with an active asylum application, including holding his *autistic* 5yo girl hostage. It’s all thanks to the GOP’s Big Ugly Bill: it gave ICE to recruit and run a goon squad to terrorize our neighbors.

In dissent as to the stay, Justice Kagan — joined by Justices Sotomayor and Jackson — lays out the lawlessness of the majority plainly. "Our emergency docket should never be used, as it has been this year, to permit what our own precedent bars." Order/dissent: www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...
