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.

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

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files. She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

@dfl.org saw on social media, that disgusting Charlie Kirk is coming to the U of M October 5th. Spread the word to any progressive students, young DFL & anyone else to either stop him from coming here or make his life hell while he is here!!!

DC statehood is now an imperative. No more dicking around. Next Dem majority, get it done immediately.

A judge rebuked the DOJ for trying to unseal grand jury records in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. The judge said public would learn virtually nothing new from the documents and “would come away feeling disappointed and misled.”

Women dressed in Handmaid regalia follow GOP Congressman Rep. Mike Flood NEBRASKA (R)

Unfortunately, this is where we are headed... shameful...🥺

They do indeed.

NEW: Attorney General Pam Bondi abruptly fired the Justice Department’s top ethics advisor over the weekend, continuing the Trump administration’s ongoing purge of the department. From: @jaknutson.bsky.social

The United States tried presidents who were smart, decent, and capable of empathy, but decided it wasn’t for them. It just didn’t reflect them.

LAPD fired rubber bullets at Australian journalist @laurentomasi.bsky.social

Looooool, get on the bus this morning to take us from the hotel to the Ford Museum and all the driver and convention assistant can talk about is the meltdown yesterday. This thing has legs, and if the Dems are smart, they’ll hammer it incessantly.

Please make sure your phones are fully charged today. You’re welcome

"When employers can threaten workers' healthcare to keep them under thumb, all workers - not just union workers - lose their much-needed balance of power with the boss. This should be a bipartisan slam dunk." — UAW Region 4 Director Brandon Campbell www.baldwin.senate.gov/news/press-r...

Jasmine Crockett: "That's why they hired everybody from Fox because all they're trying to do is put on a show. I want us to refocus our attention on the American people and stop demonizing every person that ends up in ICE custody."

HASSAN: What is habeas corpus? NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country HASSAN: That's incorrect

Phang: And you’ve got to appreciate that the congresswoman was able to say, “Look, this ain’t Fox News, buddy. This is Congress.” So if you’re going to be here and you’re going to try to make an allegation somewhere publicly, you better be able to back it up.

DURBIN: How can we give hope to people across the country who are suffering from so many diseases when our government is cutting back on that research? RFK Jr: I do not know about any cuts to ALS research D: I just read them to you! R: I didn't know about them until you told me about them

I stand with Rep. LaMonica McIver. This is a political stunt—point blank.

DEMOCRATS! Throwing Joe Biden under the bus won’t help you. •It won’t win over the base. •It won’t boost your approval. •It won’t bring back voters who sat out 2024. •It won’t fix 2026. It makes you look petty while Trump is burning it all down. REPAIR AND BUILD THE PARTY!

NEW: Judge Hannah Dugan files a blistering motion to dismiss the baseless charges against her. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/in-defense...

Duckworth: "He's accepting a bribe, which is unconstitutional and illegal. And he's gonna accept an aircraft that then is gonna cost taxpayers another billion dollars at a time when he wants to cut funding for Medicaid. It's simple unacceptable."

RFK Jr starts having a tantrum as Chris Murphy details how he lied during his confirmation hearing about his anti-vax views

That is in fact what this administration has done.

A photo of selling your soul for ambition.

BREAKING: The scene at the Rayburn Building is pure rebellion. Protesters are swarming in during live hearings on Medicaid cuts. Security’s losing control. Because when the government wages war on the poor, the poor fight back.

Rand Paul on Fox Biz: "I do think the jet probably sends the wrong signal, and I don't like the look or appearance of it, so I would hope he would reject it. The Constitution specifically says you can't take gifts from foreign leaders."

Aaaand there it is.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

Just curious, what’s the tariff on a $400 million jet from Qatar?

At this point I really need every single American to be at this level of rage. I don’t recognize this country anymore. And he hadn’t even seen the news yet of the mayor being taken and congress members being assaulted by ICE. This is appropriate levels of rage.

Stephen Miller, Tom Homan, Kristi Noem and a whole lot of ICE/DHS types is will discover a Strange New Respect for habeas corpus and the rule of law when the 2029 Truth and Reconciliation Commission arrests them for human trafficking, conspiracy, kidnapping, and child abuse.

Donnie No Deals is at it again

Why is ICE wearing masks? What are they hiding? The Mayor of Newark was arrested at an ICE facility—when elected officials showed up, masked agents roughed them up, including an 80-year-old congresswoman. Why?!

She’s out!! They have released Ozturk from ICE custody!

Cassocks are red Conclaves are dope Wake up babe we got a

Bam!!!!

Orlando City Commissioner Tony Ortiz just switched from Republican to Democratic. “The Republican Party is not the party I signed up with... The marginalization of Latinos and immigrants—many of whom have helped build this country—is not leadership. It’s fear-based politics.”

Coloradan Trisha Calvarese is working to unseat Lauren Boebert. A longtime fierce progressive and dear friend of mine is working on this campaign, and I'm excited to see someone with a real chance to consign Boebert to the cesspit of political history.

NY17 Constituent and local social worker Emily Feiner was singled out and forcibly removed during Rep. Mike Lawler's town hall.

I have been seeing a lot of videos with young women starting off a conversation on the first date by asking who he voted for… Yes, girls. That’s how you do it. ❤️
