(🧵) A key irony in what is now happening in Portland, Chicago, Los Angeles, Memphis, and D.C. is something I have not heard much discussed: in order to meet the high legal standard for deployment of federal troops, Trump must not only argue but establish by evidence that his agents are... incapable.

8/ Trump declaring that he has so bankrupted, under-resourced, and mismanaged the federal government that for the first time ever it can’t execute basic duties without panhandling to the states isn’t just an admission of a catastrophic failure as a leader, but an implicit TAX HIKE for all taxpayers.

The malicious prosecution of Attorney General Tish James is baseless. And the indictment is not worth the paper it is written on.

New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption. My full statement:

UPDATE: While it shouldn't have taken this long for the Senate to look into Trump’s egregious abuse of our military, I have secured a hearing to investigate his deployments of troops into our cities— And I’ll be asking tough questions of the Trump Administration when it happens.

Stephen Miller is murdering Venezuelans and Colombians in cold blood bc he believes it helps his propaganda campaign to paint Latinos as dangerous. www.theatlantic.com/national-sec...

By a vote of 46-52 the #Senate did not adopt the Duckworth amendment #3210 to limit the provision of support by the Armed Forces to civilian law enforcement activities. Party line vote with Senators Cortez Masto and Cruz not voting.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was. "I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi." Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:

Yup. Now.

“Putting your political opponents in jail because they are your opponents—not because of what they did—is the heart of tyranny. It is an obviously impeachable offense,” says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on the indictment of NY AG Tish James on Trump-ordered charges.

As with Comey, the charges against Letitia James have no signature other than Trump’s handpicked personal attorney Lindsey Halligan. No line prosecutor signed this document.

There are WAY more of us than this regime thinks there are.

Trump (eyes rolling back and forth in their sockets, muttering): I have enemies. They are everywhere. [Voice raises to a shout] ENEMIES EVERYWHERE! CUT THEM OUT! ROOT AND BRANCH! CUT THEM OWWWT!

Important discovery fight taking shape in Kilmar Abrego Garcia's criminal case. The question: Can the government assert privilege to avoid handing over documents that may be relevant to a defendant's vindictive prosecution claim? Abrego's counsel says no. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I'm running in one of the only toss-up seats that Biden won and is still held by the GOP. We’re building an ambitious campaign. If everyone reading this chipped in just $9, we’d reach our goal tonight. Can you please consider chipping in to help me fight back, defeat Mackenzie, and flip the House?

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law. Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois. And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Yeah, maybe don’t do this.

Back at Broadview where there are at least a dozen broadcast cameras and an enormous amount of crews. Easily as many members of the media as protesters, if not more.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year. The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

1/ Listen: the people who can’t afford ACA hikes or are getting kicked off Medicare are the priority. But…last year my company saw a 17% increase in healthcare costs. This year we are projecting 20%. Every year for idk a decade has been at least 10%

The cartoon says it all!

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.” Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

I joked about it but it may actually be worthwhile for every Dem who gets on tv to start saying Stephen Miller is the real president

This is not good The story is actually worse than the headline. The ex-GOP official worked in Missouri with Ed Martin. www.axios.com/2025/10/09/d...

Shapiro: I filed that amicus brief last night to make it very clear that the Pennsylvania National Guard is under my command. The way the President has chosen to deploy the Guard in other states—and, in at least one case, deploy the Guard from one state into another—is extremely dangerous.

This is what happens when sadism and hatred is institutionalized.

MAJOR new restrictions on federal government use of riot control weapons -- and even requiring them to display identification in many circumstances. I expect a very rapid appeal and request for a stay from the 7th Circuit.

Besides linking Tylenol in pregnant women to autism, RFK Jr. now says circumcision is part of the reason why kids are autistic. "Children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism, and it's highly likely because they're given Tylenol. None of this is positive..."

Nonononononono! These landmarks are the best of America. It’s like they want to scrawl graffiti across all of our homes. Except mining damage can’t ever be painted over & doesn’t come off.

This is incredibly dope. Instant follow.

20 paragraphs down in the NBC News story that broke the information that the administration is considering invoking the Insurrection Act is the report that Stephen Miller is driving the issue.

This is lunacy: they had a health care plan, and they implemented it in H.R.1. It includes work requirements for Medicaid, and the cutting of ACA subsidies that will cause millions to lose health insurance. That was the plan! bsky.app/profile/atru...

Bombshell investigation shows that Hungary's Russia-alligned Orban regime has been running an espionage network in Brussels, recruiting and infiltrating among the highest levels of foreign governments.
