If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

ICE shot an American citizen and food bank worker who tried to block them arresting an immigrant by pulling his car in front of them. After being released from hospital: "He is now facing charges for assault on a federal officer." www.calonews.com/featured-top...

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

But now she has 175 million dollars worth of private jets so problem solved.

The deeply unprofessional masked goons are now going to subcontract their bounties to completely unprofessional armed goons. Awesome.

You would be kicked out of any writer’s room in existence if you had the villains celebrating a Great Gatsby-themed party while taking away food benefits from millions of poor people.

Jonathan Greenblatt doing clean-up for Kevin Roberts at the Heritage Foundation is the same as Kevin Roberts doing clean-up for Tucker Carlson is the same as Tucker Carlson doing clean-up for Nick Fuentes

In the eyes of the establishment, there’s literally nothing Mamdani can do to prove he’s not an antisemite, and literally nothing the openly fascist trump regime can do to prove they are, up to and including intentionally dressing like literal, historical Nazis

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

You can't make this up.

Awful: Pentagon officials told lawmakers Trump now claims authority to bomb people merely “affiliated” with “narco-terrorist" groups, Rep Adam Smith tells me. But under questioning, they wouldn't say what “affiliated” even means! Lots of fresh info in my new piece: newrepublic.com/article/2025...

Fun fact: We passed a bill in Montana that makes this kind of attack ad illegal. HB 513 is a bill that gives individuals the rights to their likeness and allows you to sue anyone who creates digital fabrications of your likeness.

A partial list of what Bovino does not have to tell a federal judge happened today: *An agent pushed a City Council member in Albany Park *Agents deployed pepper spray in Albany Park & Evanston *Agents were involved in a car crash in Evanston *An agent pointed a gun at a woman in Evanston

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI! This is truly insane. Total unreality. www.foxnews.com/media/snap-b...

A reminder that Musk is a mass murderer. It's not hyperbole.

🚨BREAKING: Federal Court permanently BLOCKS the administration from implementing part of Executive Order requiring documentary proof of citizenship on the federal voter registration application. A BIG VICTORY for our clients--DNC, DGA, DSCC, DCCC, Sen Schumer and Leader Jeffries--and all voters!

Nancy Mace seems deeply unwell and it feels incredibly likely that her time in Congress is going to end in disaster

I know this fascist shit is doomed when I see late 50s and early 60s white guys in their Costco Shopping Finest screaming ‘fuck you’ in DHS officers’ faces

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads. Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

i don't throw around the word "hero" too often,

Again, it's encouraging to see middle-aged white men screaming in the faces of these thugs.

this is insane. www.kivitv.com/canyon-count...

BREAKING: Federal judge rules that the Trump administration likely illegally suspended SNAP benefits, ruling that at least reduced distribution is required to go forward under law using the $6 billion reserve fund. Judge gives the Trump admin until Monday to respond as to whether it will act.

Can't overstate how fucked up it is that unraveling what is arguably the greatest achievement in the history of humanity is now a motivating issue of one of the two dominant parties in the U.S.

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

i guess whatever ends up happening i very much appreciate the way that so much of what comes out of this campaign offers a positive depiction of what politics can offer to a community instead of just grim attack stuff and fear

"No one asked me if I was the mayor." That is incredible. As bad as you think the state of journalism is in this moment, it's worse. It's much much worse.

The strength of Platner's fundraising and his polling even after all this came out should speak to the electoral potential of attacking billionaires and advocating for strong social programs. an unfortunate number of leftists have concluded "only this one guy can sell this platform to voters"

lmao david byrne showed the video of the ice agents tripping over themselves while trying to run after a biker on wacker drive during the “life during wartime” segment of his chicago show tonight

Kat is being federally charged by the FBI for protesting at Broadview. This is a flagrant political prosecution by the Trump administration, which is trying to prevent free speech and free association. I am proud of Kat. Her movement is being targeted by the government. She needs your support.

“If you do not measure it you can’t manage it.” We may never know the final cost of the L.A. fires because Trump stopped keeping track. Scientist formerly in charge of the project joined me on @lastword.msnbc.com ahead of the release of my new book “Firestorm.” preorder: a.co/d/83fAJtc

Not just HHS: this is in response to an executive order to make loyalty to Trump a key performance evaluation metric for all of the Senior Executive Service

Democrats are launching a redistricting counteroffensive across the country as they try to keep pace with the GOP’s aggressive gerrymandering ahead of next year’s midterms. Recent developments in Virginia, New York & Illinois mark an escalation among Democrats after months of internal deliberations.

The DOGE team was acting like “a bunch of people who didn’t know what they were doing, with ideas of how government should run — thinking it should work like a McDonald’s or a bank — screaming all the time,” former SSA Commissioner Leland Dudek said. (Published Sept.)

I've talked before about power struggles within hardening authoritarianism. Usually, regime supporters fight over using rule-of-law in crackdowns (with massive abuses, of course) vs. completely embracing extrajudicial methods. Here, we see the latter dominating. Which is very bad news going forward.

Astonishing turn of events over the course of about 12 hours. Judge Olguin ordered DOJ to cough up the names of the attorneys who did the (apparently incomplete or erroneous) reviews of material required to be disclosed to defense counsel. Rather than comply, DOJ is dismissing the case!

Here's my full interview with Jon Stewart on @thedailyshow.com.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

My big takeaway from Trump's lengthy Air Force One gaggle is that he's talking about shredding the Constitution by being in office for a third term increasingly openly. If you don't think he try it, you're in denial.

Democrats should carpet bomb the Midwest with ads of this clip during the closing stretch of the 2026 campaign.

The cowardice of Big Law extends beyond the handful of firms that have become Trump’s collaborators. Many more are simply hiding and hoping not to be noticed.

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

70% of working age SNAP recipients work full time. The companies should pay them a living wage! SNAP is corporate welfare.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Lot of good Monsters died in the trenches. Field Rations Monster. Bully Beef Monster. Morphine Monster was never the same.
