Miles was chief of staff at DHS in Trump’s first term 👇🏽

"Speaker Mike Johnson’s abrupt closure of the House may have more to do with stalling a congressional investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation than previously reported, and appears to have been a direct response to the Treasury’s surrender of Epstein’s financial records."

Justice Dept has 10 days left to respond to civil lawsuit filed by Jan 6 police responders who are seeking court order to require display of Jan 6 law enforcement honorary plaque at US Capitol Plaque was required to be hung by 2023 under federal law It hasn’t been hung

Holy shit:

I've been banging this drum for the past four months or so: DOGE and Russ Vought broke the appropriations process. What's the point of going through the arduous process of crafting 12 spending bills, clearing them through committee and getting them through two chambers if Trump does rescissions?

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com “Can presidents unleash the armed forces on their own people based on facts that they contrive?” Stephen Vladeck asks in a guest essay. “The text of the relevant statutes doesn’t answer that question. But our constitutional ideals, to say nothing of common sense, should.”

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

The authoritarian threat is not just at the federal level

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

Even in the darkest article, I have to allow myself a chuckle now and then

Monstrous. "federal agents detained nearly every resident of the 130-unit building—including children and babies—placing them in zip ties and separating them by race into vans for more than two hours early Tuesday morning."

A House leadership aide undercut Speaker Mike Johnson's claims that he plans to swear in a new Congressional lawmaker as soon as possible.

I know we're all used to the president talking like Livia Soprano all the time, but this is a goddamn outrage

President Trump deported about 140,000undocumented immigrants in his first year. President Biden deported around 250,000,and President Obama between370,000and400,000 What do you see as the difference between these deportations? And what’s your take on the Dream for America video posted on Instagram?

“I’m going to go against everyone on this issue because when the tax credits expire this year my own adult children’s insurance premiums for 2026 are going to DOUBLE, along with all the wonderful families and hard-working people in my district." trib.al/MZsOwGU

Mark Bray wrote a great book about antifascism and its history. He’s now being targeted by right-wing provocateurs. You can buy his book here: a.co/d/7Gvdrtt

The FBI's Terrorist Screening Center is widening its focus to include unspecified “national security threats." The new mission has resulted in a new name: the Threat Screening Center. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/secretive-...

Pete Hegseth was busy ignoring his job and doing pushups as part of a show for the Guinness Book of World Records while Illinoisans are being invaded by Trump’s military troops.

I don't doubt that Trumpism will soon crumble and things will return to a seeming normal. But what worries me is whether we will again make the mistake of offering impunity to these degenerates because if so, we're just waiting around for fascism that sticks.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Thanks to Bondi for linking Reid Hoffman (LinkedIn) to Epstein. Big Tech--all super close to funding from Epstein, who was taken with the idea of transhumanism and eugenics and wanted to inseminate women with his sperm and have his brain and penis frozen, hoping he could be brought back to life.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

it just kind of goes unremarked upon that these two paragons of christianity are fucking, have been fucking for years, as both are married to other people

A trillion for fancy linear algebra that sucks up energy and rots brains just to get things wrong. Got it.

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility. Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying. All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

"In effect, these voters responded to the most comprehensive attempt to provide concrete benefits to them since the New Deal by loading an economic shotgun and pointing it directly at themselves." prospect.org/politics/202...

Donald Trump has heard the wails and lamentations of all the Rust Belt communities left behind by neoliberalism, and he has a message for them: fuck you and die

You need a note to remember to call someone a hypocrite?!?!

“We’ll schedule it as soon as she wants”? She’s been demanding it for weeks but Republicans keep blocking her. They really really really don’t want the files to come out

PENNSYLVANIA, MAINE & NEVADA VOTERS YOU HAVE TRAITORS Democratic Sens. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada, Independent Sen. Angus King of Maine - once again broke ranks and voted to advance the GOP stopgap bill. You know what to do

This entire thread:

I am not a constitutional scholar but I am pretty sure “the president my personally levy taxes and choose what they fund” is not in fact what the founders intended

this is literally stuff King Charles did, like not only did the American colonists have a revolution to not have this happen, but they did so in the wake of the English revolution, which was about not having stuff like this happen

Netanyahu openly says he "supports the idea of a 'Greater Israel,' which is a batshit crazy idea, which some people used to say was a conspiracy theory on the far right." Me to Piers Morgan on his show today. Full show: youtube.com/watch?v=Kmdm...

A former Republican strategist and staunch critic of President Donald Trump shredded Attorney General Pam Bondi's "venomous" appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday in a new essay.

Apparently, Pamela Jo Bondi took this as a challenge.

She's seen 100s of pedophile videos and lies for the pedophiles. Doesn't get much worse than that.

Remember Bondi knows EVERYTHING about the Epstein investigations because she was the Florida AG when he got his sweetheart deal by DA Acosta. She knows EVERYTHING the government has on Epstein and has seen all the evidence and she continues to coverup Trump’s involvement every goddamned day.

Congress erupts over Trump's shutdown backpay threat

The current administration is waging a war against children and women in so many ways.

"Are there pictures of Donald Trump with naked underage girls?" "You're a poopyhead" "I repeat, are there pictures of Donald Trump with naked underage girls?" Silence. Bondi ain't defending Trump on this one.

youtube.com/watch?v=5FvP... Good stuff!

If you live in FL, it would be useful if you called Ashley Moody's office & ask 1) Whether she renounces her support of Trump bc he incited hundreds of people to attack cops on Jan6 and then pardoned them all or 2) whether she retracts her slander accusing that Dems are themselves inciting violence.

Farmers who voted for Trump are entering the "find out" stage.

Yup. It's looking like the guy who shot C. Kirk was just another kid who had his brain melted by online assholes like... Charlie Kirk.

The Free Press only posts the result of a basic income pilot when the results are null. They print phrases like "a big blow to UBI advocates" and "UBI doesn't work" and "yet another study had no positive effect." They ignore all positive findings. You can get rich by saying what billionaires want.
