NEWS: The Gaza "ceasefire" is collapsing before our eyes as both sides accuse each other of violations. There have been major Israeli military strikes across Gaza today. Yet, MAGA Mike is going on TV and calling for Trump to get a Nobel Peace Prize.

I don't wanna hear shit about "George Soros" from the party that constantly has their mouth wrapped around Harlan Crow's teet.

"The US president tossed aside maps of the frontline in Ukraine, insisted Zelenskyy surrender the entire Donbas region to Putin, and repeatedly echoed talking points the Russian leader had made in their call a day earlier" on.ft.com/4n9nlNd

Under the plan, MAGA allies would be installed at the IRS criminal investigative division, where they would “exert firmer control over the unit and weaken the involvement of IRS lawyers in criminal investigations.” The administration is putting together a list of targets. trib.al/jAKDLY1

Does Mike Johnson go with, “I haven’t seen the video” or “The President has fun online, last I checked that’s not illegal.”

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

Hasan: I am not willing to sit back and watch our glorious American multiracial and multicultural democratic experiment destroyed by the guy from Home Alone 2.

The Trump administration is spending $172 million on two jets for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and other senior officials

Hey Ezra Klein, is this doing politics the right way?

Keys to the office? Check! ✅ Sworn in as Congresswoman? Not quite 🙅🏻‍♂️

Reminder: Trump's Argentina bailout only benefits one American; a $20 billion US rescue package is a gift for a hedge fund manager with ties to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.

'In response to HuffPost’s query about who suggested Budapest, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt responded, “Your mom did,” and White House communications director Steven Cheung replied: “Your mom.”' Everytime you think they can't sink any lower:

The Trump administration is now reportedly considering granting protection to members of far-right European parties. There is nothing subtle about this effort: Trump officials are trying to turn the long-celebrated refugee program...into a tool of white nationalism.

Any liberal whining about "purity tests" is an immediate unfollow for me, dawg.

It's remarkable what an un-serious publication the New York Times is

There are at least 170 incidents where ICE held US citizens against their will. This includes 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.

One of my “progressive” opponents took thousands of dollars from a gas executive. Call me crazy, but so-called “progressives” shouldn’t be taking money from the fossil fuel industry. That’s why I’m not taking any money from fossil fuel executives, and asking my opponents to make the same pledge.

"This is what you get after a decade of Trumpism’s ascendance: a young-activist base that has self-selected for the most amoral and psychotic political strivers, and has held them up as a professional ideal." www.thebulwark.com/p/its-gettin...

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

It's really simple Voters want an opposition party that will fight for them, and democracy, like there's no tomorrow Dem elites want a members-only social club where polite, dues-paying members who they like to see at cocktail parties get rewarded with plum roles www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

“It’s too late for preventative antifascism. I think we’re in a new era.” After death threats for his work on antifascism, a Rutgers University professor fled the United States. The latest from @schuylermitchell.bsky.social:

Vaccines are safe and effective. Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support. When you want information, ask your doctor. It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

Most of the men gave up and kissed the ring But, as they say Women will lead us

And that's how you do it

The campaign against “antifa” is about establishing a beachhead for further attacks on speech and assembly rights. We see that today in the effort to preemptively label No Kings protesters as “terrorists.”

Imagine that. www.wsj.com/health/pharm...

Religious leaders & faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who would Jesus deport?’ Trump regime ICE forces have targeted them as they pray, shooting them in the head with pepper balls then laughing.

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent. Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

Turning the military on citizens. Attempting to rig elections. Toying with the idea of declaring martial law. Attacking political enemies and punishing those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

A judge blocked Trump from sending Oregon's National Guard into Portland. That same judge then blocked Trump from deploying California's National Guard to Portland instead. This isn't a "left wing" judge — Trump appointed her. Says a lot about Trump's authoritarian power grab.

From vicious immigration raids to the withholding of federal aid after wildfires, Trump's direct assaults on blue states are escalating every day. But waiting until the midterms to repel Trump's siege on democracy, @clarajeffery.bsky.social warns, is too late. It's time to break glass.

Two-thirds of National Park Service employees have been furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, worsening an already severe staffing shortage. With limited personnel remaining, essential maintenance, law enforcement, and visitor services are significantly reduced.

They’re not acting like they’re in a four-year term. They’re acting like they’re in an everlasting dictatorship. Are we all clear on this?

Congrats to mediocre men who were idiots but might come around! Meanwhile, no love for women podcasters who were right all along. www.nbcnews.com/politics/don...

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

Adults and children alike were pulled from their Chicago apartments, crying and screaming, during a large overnight raid that has left tenants and neighbors shaken. https://cnn.it/4pPCXIt

Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes' office has released video of federal agents handcuffing her at Humboldt Park Health, as she asked them to present a judicial warrant for another arrest.

The President gets no special new powers during a shutdown. He can't eliminate agencies. He can't use federal funds to punish his political opponents. As Trump's illegality grows during the shutdown, Democrats' spines should stiffen to oppose his corruption.

The Speaker of the House flailed across television as reporters fact-checked his claim that Democrats shut down the government to lavish undocumented immigrants with free health care. In reality, those immigrants are ineligible for tax credits, Medicaid, and Medicare. trib.al/jn6rb4g
