Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Release the Epstein Files. Its what the people want.

@nlgchicago.bsky.social is trying to raise $10k to fund ongoing legal support for protesters. They've had to cover long shifts at Broadview, and their volunteers have been repeatedly assaulted by police in the process. More info with ways to donate here: instagram.com/p/DP36ITJja-W/

This is shameful and un-American. The people have a right to ask what their military is doing, and we shouldn’t have to buy just the official line.

To be clear: LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government. The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency. This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Groceries are up

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

UPDATE — Multiple witness videos today show an older white federal agent straddling a young Black man on the ground outside of a Walgreens on Chicago’s Southeast Side. This is a developing story. thetriibe.com/2025/10/fede...

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Happy Indigenous People's Day and Fuck Christopher Columbus!

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th. If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

When they tell you it’s the left show them this

Feeling safer now?

This sadly demented man doesn't realize *he* was president on Jan 6, 2021. Get him in an assisted living facility ASAP.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.

ICYMI — They lied about why they assaulted the WGN producer (then rammed a car for no reason)

BREAKING: Prominent Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi has been killed by gunmen in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighbourhood, making him one of more than 270 journalists killed since Israel’s war began in 2023. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/p49p9n

Pritzker: "You just heard a tidal wave of lies from the VP. It's a bit shocking. And you heard over & over him just making things up. There's a reason why the judge here in federal court said that they admin lacks credibility and why even the Nobel committee chair said the admin lacks integrity."

Stop the Republican shutdown? Release the Epstein files? Work to lower costs? The Republican solution: Go on vacation.

Not sure why it has taken until late 2025 to see this, but this is how you do it. Every time. For every one of these guests.

Nice recap

Trump received his COVID inoculation yesterday at Walter Reed Hospital. However, he vehemently urges his followers not to get the jab. Can someone please explain the rationale behind this?

After months of layoffs and funding cuts by the Trump administration, the government shutdown has given some federal employees hope that their voices are finally being heard.

United States Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff, flanked by Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner, get loudly booed in Tel Aviv, Israel as they praise Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

“YOU hit HER.” CHICAGO - Trump’s ICE goons ram into a passing car after snatching someone, then brutally drag the female driver of the car they hit out of her car with guns drawn and arrest her too. (Her brother says she’s a citizen)

Amazing thing about this isn’t even that none of it is true (none of it is), but that on Sunday morning, every news show will have Republicans on to soft-pedal some similar fiction to cover for the fact that ICE is literally kidnapping people in the streets and Republicans shutdown the government.

We’re outside of the Broadview ICE facility. It’s clearer than ever before. What’s happening in Illinois is an unprecedented, unlawful abuse of power.

Trump says the watches are “for your favorite president” and promise to be “something special.”

Not a good look yall

Rep. @aoc.bsky.social RT’ed this 👀

Couldn't have said it better.

C-SPAN caller to Mike Johnson: "Hearing you say that 'everyone is smiling' in cities where troops have been rolled into feels dystopian and insane watching the response to it."

Mike Johnson tries for an Academy Award: "I'm upset. I'm a very patient man but I'm very angry right now."

"I will be president for all Americans." What he was really thinking: "Unless you live in big cities. You didn't vote for me so fuck off. And Black people? I got nothin' for you, that's for sure. As for Latinos, you have no idea what I have planned for you."

VIRGINIA CALLER: “As a Republican, I'm very disappointed in my party, and I'm very disappointed in you… I am begging you to pass this legislation. My kids could die... the audacity of someone who makes 6 figures a year to do this to military families is insane.” #TrumpShutdown

He's going to "stop by" the doctor's office while he's at Walter Reed Medical Center for another event, the White House said.
