Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

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.

Members of Congress in both parties bristled Tuesday at a White House memo arguing that federal workers who have been furloughed as part of the government shutdown are not necessarily entitled to back pay. www.axios.com/2025/10/07/t...

What are in the Epstein files that is worth keeping the government shutdown?

CHATTANOOGA: several hundred @utchattanooga.bsky.social Students are marching to protest the removal of DEI and disbanding of several centers, as regressive new Republican laws take hold

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

🤷‍♂️

Pritzker is right. They want to normalize troops in cities so they can steal every election just like Putin does.

By all means, indict Jack Smith on bullshit allegations and give him the trial that SCOTUS denied him. Poke the bear, Donnie. See what happens.

Why even have congress? Also funding WIC is good

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations. The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel). "The party of small government,” folks.

Woman shot by ICE has been released from custody, body cam footage revealed an agent saying "do something bitch" while holding his rifle at her

I forget-- who controls the White House, Senate, and House?

Brutal.

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

has anybody ever been more obviously full of shit than Pam Bondi is at the end of this 20 second clip?

Pam Bondi, a $25K Donation & Trump University: Questions Remain While Ms. Bondi, President-elect Donald J. Trump’s pick for attorney general, served as attorney general of FL, her office declined to investigate allegations of fraud against his for-profit school. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/22/u...

Release. The. Fucking. Files.

Soybean Farmer: So now I've got a tariff war that's killing my market. I don't have any money from grain we're sending to other countries for USAID. I mean, I've got a compound problem. I don't know how you plan for next year because we don't know where we're at.

Keep On Trolling Chump,Governor Newsom.......

Way to go, Chicago, more of this! Kristi Noem is upset that ICE agents in Chicago are being “denied entry” to restrooms and lunch spots.

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This is the Epstein files shutdown.

BEST BIG CITY IN THE US 9 YEARS IN A ROW. While critics try to paint Chicago as something to fear, the rest of the world knows the truth — this is the best big city in America.

Have I posted about the Epstein Files today? No? Hmm....🤔 I'm gonna change that. When are they going to RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES?!?!

Thanks, New Yorker

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition? JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back R: Why not now? J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Hirono to Bondi: "It's very clear to me that when the president posts something like, that he considers the DOJ to be his law firm and you his lawyer."

Grassley: “Using the power of government to go after people that are political people, you don't like. We're pointing this all out because we can't have this repeated in the United States. We want an end to it right now.”

In our annual 19th News/SurveyMonkey poll, we can look at results by generation and gender. One dynamic jumps out over and over: Gen Z women are the most liberal group in the country.

bingo

SEN. HIRONO: “Did you approve shutting down the bribery investigation into Homan?” BONDI: “Are you Antifa?” 🤡 (That’s a yes)

Hirono: "I have to conclude that, since no wrongdoing was determined, that Homan kept the money. And I hope he will put that on his tax returns as income."

WATCH — @whitehouse.senate.gov : “What became of the $50,000 in cash in that Cava bag? Did the FBI get it back from Homan?” AG PAM BONDI: *LASHES OUT aggressively, avoids answering entirely* 🤷🏼‍♀️

Speaker Johnson continues to stall the swearing in of Rep.-elect Grijalva so as to avoid having to deal with the Epstein discharge petition. Why shouldn’t Dems make support for reopening the government contingent on adding to the funding measure a provision mandating release of the Epstein files?

BONDI: The National Guard is on the way right now as we speak. You're sitting here grilling me and they're on their way to Chicago to keep your state safe. DURBIN: It's my job to grill you

President Trump called Portland a war zone last week, and now state Republicans are trying to deliver one—by sharing a photo of “South American riot police” in 2008 from Getty Images. trib.al/jbtYwZg

Mike Johnson ignores a question about when he'll swear in Rep.-elect Grijalva and walks away

Ms. Martinez’ lawyer says body cam footage shows the agent turned into HER car and yelled “do something bitch” before firing shots.
