A terrific AFP fact check uses reverse image searches to expose how a White House video took scenes from Florida, Texas, South Carolina and Nebraska and lied that they showed "Chicago is in chaos." factcheck.afp.com/doc.afp.com....

Sadly, yes

As the Supreme Court hears arguments in Louisiana v. Callais, it’s important to remember the impact of the Voting Rights Act. FairVote’s Lakeisha Steele shares her family’s story, illustrating how far we’ve come and how crucial the VRA still is.⬇️ fairvote.org/protecting-t...

Emerging from the darkness of this era will require us to acknowledge that the previous status quo, including many institutions that may have served us well in another era, have been failing for my entire lifetime.

Fifteen Democratic governors formed a public health alliance to counter federal agency turmoil under the Trump administration. The alliance aims to monitor disease outbreaks, establish policy guidance and buy vaccines.

Always MAGA!

NEW: “I would bet my left arm that they will tell us that Section 2 is in violation of the Fifteenth Amendment.” For decades, Section 2 has forestalled attempts to discriminate against minority voters. But tomorrow, SCOTUS will consider declaring it unconstitutional.

Portland, OR, 2025

THESE are the promises I want to hear.

Every word he says here is a lie. Every. Single. Word. He’s living in an alternate reality. #25thAmendment.

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Dolly Parton on September 28th: “…God hasn't said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so l can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”

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.

What happens when prosecutions become political theater? @preetbharara.bsky.social and I discuss reports that Trump’s DOJ planned a “perp walk” for former FBI Director Jim Comey on a new episode of @cafedotcom.bsky.social Insider: cafe.visitlink.me/HETzAj

NEW: Comey arraignment moved up to Wednesday at 10 am.

We the people can save the United States. 1) Protests. He feels humiliated when we take to the streets. 2) Hit them in their wallets. When enough people wanted to send a real message about Jimmy Kimmel & canceled their subscriptions to Disney, Hulu & ESPN, it worked! What else has yielded results?

NEW: Trump considers a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell. “I’ll have to take a look at it,” and also says Diddy has asked him for a pardon.

THUNE ADMITS IT: The democrats created affordable healthcare and the GOP wants to take it away. 💥

News today that ICE shot a woman is chilling. The videos online show that there are some abusive, masked thugs masquerading as law enforcement. Nobody deserves this. The courts need to step in.

Mexico has the peso, we’re getting the pedo.

Donald is *not* going to be happy about Bad Bunny hosting SNL. The only thing that would make this better is if Bad Bunny wins an Emmy, something Donald used [?] to want with the pathetic public desperation he now shows in wanting a Nobel Peace Prize.

YES YES YES ON 50

Sanders: I am not a great fan of the affordable care act. I believe in medicare for all. I think that health care is a human right, but I will be damned if I'm going to see people in Vermont and around this country see a doubling in their premiums.

Remember when calling people “deplorables” was outrageous and over-the-top?

DO NOT BE DISTRACTED -- HE IS GUILTY!!! TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS!!! I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared.

MIKE JOHNSON: They want to give taxpayer-funded benefits to illegal aliens again CRAIG MELVIN: I had a hankering feeling you were going to bring that up. I actually did look at it. That's a bit misleading

Signs of psychosis. No biggie

A right wing influencer was arrested after starting fights in Portland and blaming “antifa”. www.cnn.com/2025/10/03/u...

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

NEW: THREAD: Just a small collection of propaganda emails sent by the regime to federal employees who have sent them to me on the condition of anonymity. First, we all saw the HUD banner from Tuesday morning. 1/

KIMMEL: “That sonofabitch… I never imagined we’d have a president like this, and I hope we never have another president like this again… celebrating hundreds of Americans losing their jobs - he took pleasure in that. The opposite of what a leader is supposed to be.”

AIPAC funding matters more to Congress.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Trump is struggling today

Clarence Thomas likens old rulings that protect our rights to trains driven by monkeys.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in a Democrat who won her election in a landslide just so he can block a vote on the Epstein files. bsky.app/profile/acyn...

are democrats going to fight to make the enhanced tax credits permanent or just push them out to past the midterms

11.5M+ California households will automatically see refunds on their October electric bill thanks to California's Climate Credit. And it doesn't stop there. Up to $60B will return to Californians' pockets going forward, cutting electric bills while moving to cleaner energy.

omg.😳 What are we becoming?

Peter Navarro: "Jim Jordan is the biggest disappointment of my life on the Hill ... Jim Jordan sits on his ass, and he's done it for years ... he's not doing his job."

Shocking new reporting from the Miami Herald: hundreds of detainees MISSING after being detained at Alligator Alcatraz. I’ve got the latest, incl. the appeals court ruling that makes no sense & the financial blackhole DeSantis has put FL in while chasing Trump’s love. youtu.be/5hGJuIgIzYw?...

1) "Donald will not stop there. He is remaking the DOJ in his image with the help of people like Pam Bondi and her deputies, Emil Bove and Todd Blanche. While Donald is using the DOJ to open.substack.com/pub/marytrum...

Imagine the response if a Dem Administration removed every top general and admiral from every US military post all around the world (including conflict zones), in order to force them to attend a big in-person meeting in DC (with a former cable news co-host). www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Gavin Newsom is warning of real threats to our institutions. “We’re at Code Red.” 🚨 Now is not the time for complacency.
