Yesterday, we filed a lawsuit challenging Trump’s illegal federalization of the National Guard. This morning, we filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to block the federalization from going into effect. We’ll keep sharing updates as things progress.

WATCH — @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “The hypocrisy is astounding.” Jessica points out how JD Vance & Patel lead with the killers’ motivations, except in instances like Michigan when the violence is (more often, according to data) on the right. “Go anywhere you want for the statistics.”

So Trump, Johnson, and JD are endlessly repeating the lie that Dems want to shut down the government to get healthcare for "illegals." So why are Dem leaders not on every TV and social media platform debunking this?

Some guy on TikTok is threatening to release the Grindr profile of Mike Johnson. Please human, please don’t let God down. 🙏

👀👀

Dems are being serious about saving healthcare for American families, while Trump is fixated on a fake issue. 📌 Undocumented immigrants don’t qualify for Medicaid or the ACA and he knows it! Trump and Republicans should just enforce the law. #ThisIsTrumpsShutdown STAND STRONG, DEMOCRATS

Friendly reminder to all media this week: The GOP controls both houses of Congress. They can keep the government open with their own votes. It’s their own fecklessness and chaos that REQUIRES Dems to vote for this budget.

can never forget that Fred Trump spent his later years totally gaga but surrounded by a gaggle of senility-denial-enablers who drove him to a make believe office where a make believe secretary had him sign make believe papers—which sounds cute til you see the sequel & the secretary is Stephen Miller

It’s so important for New Jersey to turnout for Mikie Sherrill by Nov 4: If 47 thinks he needs to send troops into “war ravaged Portland” what happens when he decides the only way to save Cherry Hill is to carpet bomb it? Can we trust any R to say so much as “bad idea”? #VoteNJ

China has not bought a single soybean from the U.S. in over 3 months, thanks to Trump's disastrous tariffs. https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/28/soybeans-sacrificed-in-trumps-china-gamble-00583232?utm_content=politico/magazine/Politics&utm_source=flipboard

Spare us your hypocrisy, Pam.

Stephen Miller, unelected and unaccountable, is directing U.S. missile strikes on Venezuelan boats while bending law to justify them. Trump’s White House has turned foreign policy into Miller’s pet project, bypassing oversight and edging into extrajudicial murder.

Of course — “Bessent’s announcement had massive economic benefits for billionaire hedge fund manager Rob Citrone, who placed large bets on the Argentine economy... a friend and former colleague of Bessent, who helped make Bessent very wealthy.” popular.info/p/trumps-arg...

"One might think there are far less expensive ways—ones with fewer inconveniences and security challenges—to have a nice talk with generals and show them some love, if love is all they need." What's really going on here? Read about it in today's Morning Shots: www.thebulwark.com/p/remember-t...

NEVER FORGET: Donald Trump, his family & friends have made BILLIONS since his 2nd inauguration. When Jimmy Kimmel was PULLED WE boycotted Disney+ & their subsidiaries & it WORKED. THIS IS ALL ABOUT MONEY, THEY WANT IT ALL & DON'T GIVE AF ABOUT US. NEVER UNDERESTIMATE: WE HAVE POWER OF THE PURSE!🚫

here's today's post: "medbed alert! elderly golfer’s brain has gone fuckity-bye" — demented president, heal thyself. thanks for reading, and please sign up for my daily newsletter to keep getting the good stuff —

U.S. Military Cleans Up Discarded Kale at Portland Farmer’s Market

Well Russia tried and spectacularly failed to install their Russian backed puppet, but the voters in Moldova didn’t fall for it and elected President Maia Sandi bc they knew the assignment to save their democracy! Let’s learn from them, please!

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.

Portlanders — show off your corner of war-ravaged Portland below.

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/...

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

omg 😆

Biked with my husband and kids to the lake for a dinner picnic tonight. Lots of dodging and weaving around slow walkers, and had to shield our eyes at the insanely beautiful sunset. Phew. Glad we survived!

🚨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...

The battle of our day is no longer about Democrats versus Republicans or left versus right. The choice right now is democracy or dictatorship. And we're sliding faster than I ever thought possible into the latter. Everyone must choose which side they’re on.

Missouri's Governor just signed the GOP's illegal map. It will now be sued.

Is Johnson just gonna ride it out at home until he shuts down the government and then blame that?

not like i'm some important predictor of the future, i'm a shitposter, but i sort of thought there might be a climbdown here when i read that neither the pentagon nor the national guard had any fucking idea what he was talking about

Finally some truth in advertising. #DonaldTrump #ICE

The Trump Administration's DHS officers appear to be carrying large weapons around downtown Chicago in camouflage and masks. This is not making anybody safer — it’s a show of intimidation, instilling fear in our communities and hurting our businesses.

Life in the war zone: Family members in the Portland Metro area, searching for signs of war.

The St Crispin’s Day speech, but instead of talking, Henry dips a breadstick in water for 45 minutes to see how soft he can make it

This is just unacceptable belligerent crazy talk from the Attorney General.

Superintendent Ian Roberts of Des Moines Public Schools was detained Friday by federal agents. The reason for his detention was not clear, according to the school district. Roberts’ whereabouts are also, alarmingly, unclear. trib.al/ifiCl4B

While Stephen Miller claims that Democrats calling him a fascist constitutes incitement, there are hundreds of examples of Miller publicly calling Democrats fascists.

Gavin Newsom is correct. Trump and Stephen Miller are quintessential fascists.

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

Good Sunday read here from @gelliottmorris.com.....

TAPPER: Just to be clear, there's not gonna be any negotiation at this meeting? This is just gonna be you, Thune, and Trump telling Jeffries and Schumer 'we're not giving you anything'? MIKE JOHNSON: I'm telling you where the president's head is

Van Hollen: "It's good to see the president finally get off the golf course and decide to talk. He's been much more focused, as we all know, on keeping the Epstein files locked up than keeping the government open."

Olympian levels of lying from Republicans on Sunday shows today. Going to be a very ugly week.

New from Simon Lazarus: To stand up to Trump’s power grabs, the Roberts court must face, disown, and disentangle themselves from their own corruptions. That would seem to be a tall order for this bunch—but it's maybe not entirely out of the realm of possibility. newrepublic.com/article/1925...

🚨 IMPORTANT THREAD 🚨 People are protesting the Broadview ICE facility tonight. This will likely be an extremely high-risk action. I caution you to consider your risk level before attending. I will not attend. Attendance risks your safety, but also the safety of Broadview residents + detainees. 1/6

Listen to Kat. They’re trying to provoke and justify further escalation. Don’t take the bait.

Trump became president, in large part, by using social media to inflame tensions and turn people against each other. Sending troops into cities is the physical equivalent of that strategy, with potentially deadly consequences. We cannot take the bait. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
