Suing Donald Trump pro se for $40 trillion dollars is the way all Jan6ers should be spending their pardons, as the QShaman is. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/phoenix...

Cantwell news will never get old. Chris, who was convicted for a federal offense of violent extortionate threats, is trying to fundraise for a lawsuit to sue one of his grindr hookups and has recently posted texts where he appears to be threatening a victim unless he hands over half his 401k

wrote about Comey, arguably the first capitulator in advance. trying to palliate trump led to the destruction of basically everything he was trying to preserve. it feels like we should learn from that. www.publicnotice.co/p/comey-indi...

In which a top US Border Patrol official, incredibly, tells my tall and Anglo colleague @chipmitchell1.bsky.social that he's not the type they're looking for as they go about downtown Chicago arresting people based on "how they look" chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

Leavitt: "They want food assistance programs for women and children and impoverished communities to continue going out the door. All of that will come to an end if Democrats vote against this CR that Republicans are proposing."

"one officer smiled for a selfie with her as she cried."

Say this again: “they had every rule, filed every form, and spent every dollar.” It was never about “following the rules.”

Seems like this is a pretty important quote in the story: “We’re seeing a reduced amount of time on long-term investigations so agents can go out in their raid gear and be seen supporting immigration raids” The money-launderers and king pins are getting a pass from Trump. Go figure.

The cost of redirecting so many agents compounded this summer when President Trump ordered agents to effectively start working as local cops in D.C. and elsewhere. In one case, DEA agents in the capital participated in an undercover operation to buy $25 worth of marijuana.

The drug-enforcement pullback was caused by Trump DOJ officials ordering thousands of agents to focus on deportation. “We’re seeing a reduced amount of time on long-term investigations so agents can go out in their raid gear and be seen supporting immigration raids,” a senior official said.

There's no clear sign that drug trafficking has suddenly become less common. The quantity of drugs seized through August by U.S. Customs and Border Protection was higher than during the same months in 2024. The number of people prosecuted for importing drugs to the U.S. dropped, to a record low.

Prosecutions are the output of federal law enforcement. To measure the extent of the Trump administration's policing pullback, @reuters.com obtained the dockets of every public federal case since the late 1990s, about 2 million prosecutions in all.

EXCLUSIVE: The number of people charged with breaking federal drug laws dropped to the lowest level in decades this year after the Trump administration ordered enforcement agencies to focus on deporting immigrants, a @reuters.com review of court dockets found. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Media and Dems are still getting this badly wrong: Trump is deeply unpopular! Recent approval numbers: 38-54 (Quinnipiac) 39-60 (AP) 40-56 (Gallup) 41-58 (Reuters) 39-56 (Economist) On the pod, @lakshya.splitticket.org explains these numbers brilliantly. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2010...

@nberlat.bsky.social: “Comey was arguably one of the first consequential establishment figures to comply in advance with Donald Trump. For his trouble, and his pivotal role in vaulting Trump to power, he has now been targeted by Trump’s Justice Department for a politically motivated indictment.”

Can’t even laugh at this. The idea of these meatheads skulking around my beautiful, glittering jewel box of a city, looking to tackle every non-white person they see, makes me sick to my stomach. This is the real domestic terrorism.

Broadview Police have opened an investigation into an attack from federal agents on a CBS crew at Broadview, per BPD Chief Mills.

🚨This is a big deal: suburban chicago police launch an investigation into an ICE attack on local CBS news journalists.

we need evidence of two things: first, that trump can distinguish fantasy from reality and second, that trump is actually president

This is a fight over more than temporary funding, however. It is the continuation of a battle that has been brewing since Trump took office in January and refused to spend billions of dollars that Congress had already approved 4/5

NEW: One proposed rule would strip aid from families where a member is in the U.S. illegally. Families could keep their assistance IF the ineligible member moves out. But HUD expects many families to give up assistance out of “fear of the family being separated.” By @jessecoburn.bsky.social

“Surveillance video shows federal #ICE agents body slamming 79-year-old US citizen Rafie Shouhed to the ground just outside of his car wash … Shouhed suffered multiple broken ribs, brain damage and deep bruising to his arms.” Now he's suing for $50 million. #AbolishICE abc7.com/post/van-nuy...

Also, I'd urge you to please consider the GoFundMe drive for Miguel Angel Garcia-Hernandez's family (wife, 4 kids, 5th on the way) and his medical expenses www.gofundme.com/f/aid-for-mi...

Here's an excerpt -- I hope you'll take a few moments to read the whole column and tell me what you think

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

They have been spreading this propaganda for a decade, which is why so much of America is okay with troops being sent into cities. They are truly convinced cities are burning to the ground.

Interesting! Jeremy Roberts is a long time open white nationalist and routine ally of the Proud Boys and assorted open neonazis during the fascist assaults on Portland from around 2018-2021. He has a long and recorded history of violence and hate.

The moment you give the fascist far right a chance to convince you they are acting in good faith, they will take advantage. This is why any ceding ground that liberals have enacted due to Kirk’s assassination has been so devastating to the cause. It’s like a full retreat against an invasion.

Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago. He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.” “How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

As a US Atty, I prosecuted and oversaw police excessive force cases. We took them seriously because they were serious abuses of power. What we're seeing now is the outbreak of an epidemic & instead of being condemned by fed'l law enforcement leaders, it seems to be tolerated if not encouraged.

True and tragic: "The mainstreaming of Charlie Kirk demonstrates that espousing open and explicit bigotry no longer relegates one to the fringe of political discourse."

Iraq War veteran Thomas Sanford has been identified as the gunman who attacked Grand Blanc Mormon church, killing 2 people and setting it ablaze. Out of the three mass shootings today, two of them have been carried out by Iraq war veterans.

FYI: this guy was fired from Border Patrol for sexually abusing his daughters for 11 yrs. Before he pled guilty to just 2 reduced charges & was given lifetime probation w/out having to register as a sex offender, he was hired by a contractor that works for BP. So don’t expect much.

“We are blaming women,” says Dr. Anita Henderson, a pediatrician. “Donald Trump's language was very specific when he said multiple times, ‘Don’t take Tylenol.’ He said multiple times, ‘Women just need to tough it out.’ And there is a danger in that."

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

Facts….they’re just snatching up anyone that’s brown don’t even care if they’re legal or not

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Ask almost any real lawyer about the value of precedent not just to our laws but also to our economy. Clarence Thomas has officially entered the realm of insanity.

Effect of tariffs I've seen — Higher clothing prices overall — Overseas sellers covering tariff costs, but passing cost to the consumer — US stores dropping brands. Example: No Man Walks Alone won't be carrying Norbit this fall bc tariff uncertainty — Fewer deals. Ebay shuts down overseas sellers

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

Jeffries is really in tune with the 6-9% of NYC voters stoked for Adams

Americans can’t afford hamburger meat.

at what point does a government lose all legitimacy

Three times as many victims, so nine days at least

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

“That leaves us with a massive asymmetry, where Charlie Kirks work against rule of law democracy, Ezra Kleins pretend that they don’t, and together they work to convince everyone that all this is fine, just normal disagreement, so the people taking attacks on democracy seriously are the problem.”

The Republicans have won votes using a kind of radical authenticity, where they are perceived as saying what they mean (even if it isn’t true). And yet some Dems are still trying to figure out how to say what some imagined swing voters want… rather than finding their own authentic message.

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”
