even his pals think he's a bitch

‪ICE snatched—and has since separated—a family who’ve lived in Chicago for three years and were visiting Millennium Park because the daughter had begged to go. Now the mother and child are being held in a windowless room at O'Hare while the dad is inside the notorious Broadview detention facility.

If you're here because you saw photos of me with a bloody face, they were probably his. Please help him replace his lens and continue doing his work if you're able!

lmao

SCOTUS blessed Kavanaugh Stops, by pretending they were pleasant exchanges with your friendly ICE agent. Will the conservatives now allow ICE to lock up people for days without probable cause? h/t @akalhan.bsky.social for coining the phrase www.lawandchaospod.com/p/scotus-ble...

1/ This is an excellent point re Comey. Prosecutors have a duty under Brady v. Maryland to turn over potentially exculpatory evidence to the defense. Every prosecutor I've ever known (especially the conservatives!) takes their Brady obligations very seriously both ethically and professionally.

Even in his most fevered, drunken dreams, Richard Milhous Nixon couldn't possibly have even imagined doing a tenth of this shit.

Supreme Court: Congress has power of the purse, but POTUS purse snatching is Constitutional. #Satire

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.

I haven't read the article yet - but, *really*, I don't have to. I think I could've *written* parts of it; I've known about him for, like, ever. I know he's Heritage's main drafter of the Koch Bros' dream plan, in all its many inglorious specifics. I KNOW. GIFT LINK: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/29/u...

NEW VIDEO: Free and fair elections are under attack, and Congresswoman Suzan DelBene is on the front lines of the fight. As chair of the DCCC, she joins me to discuss gerrymandering, mail-in voting, and what Democrats must do to win back the House and defend democracy.

My law firm is currently litigating 55 voting and election cases in 25 states. I expect that we will add another 5-6 this week. Please pay attention to what is happening to see and fair elections and democracy in court!

How appropriate that this reminds me of a scene from a movie called “Clueless.”

Confessions of a fascist.

We are calling these “Kavanaugh stops” now. Pass it on.

Lucky for the Trump regime, their Kangaroo Court happens to be the highest in the land. #SCOTUS is a captured entity, corrupted through the core. If the body is ever healed, all decisions made by the Roberts Court should be revisited.

Congrats to Moldova!!! Russia threw everything to destabilize the election and failed spectacularly. Democracy won 🙌🏼

Wounded Knee was a massacre of innocent people, including women and children. It was one of many atrocities committed by the United States against Native Americans. The heroes were those who fought against the US military. They deserve our honors. Not those who used Hotchkiss guns against children

“They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place...it looks like terrible." Fires all over the place, you say? Definitely but not in Portland.

Which party is gunning for a shutdown? On FTN, Robert Costa indicates the Republican White House is eager to capitalize on it. "Inside the White House, sources are saying President Trump actually welcomes a shutdown, in the sense that he believes he can wield executive power" to do what he wants.

🚨BREAKING: Minutes after Missouri Governor signs new rigged congressional map, my law firm filed a lawsuit on behalf of affected voters. The lawsuit seeks to block implementation of the redrawn congressional map. www.democracydocket.com/cases/missou...

Minutes after the bill was signed, my firm sued on behalf of affected voters. I told you I don 't bluff. Next up is to show that we win.

What was it that Kavanaugh said recently about the brief, polite questioning that was occurring?

In 2023, #SistersinLaw podcast did a live show in Portland. We didn’t see Antifa but we were met by a huge crowd that wanted to learn about democracy. We had Voodoo Donuts & saw a lot of knitters. Today, we are all #Portland.

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.

Might Dems deign to use that in speaking to voters in working class and rural areas next year? Cuz it might actually offend some people in red areas. Really.

Aww hell... 😏

Nigel farage wants you to think that Britain has an immigration problem. It doesn't. Britain had a problem with millionaires hoarding wealth, egged on by politicians and the press. Britain has a problem with racism. Britain has a Nigel farage problem. #nigelfarage

Masterclass for Portland, Oregon and democracy advocates. Have been peaceful for weeks. Visual shows all over social media of no violence very effective. Excellent brief ready to go. They have learned from LA/Cal. leadership (handled very well) and DC mayor (handled horribly).
