NEW: ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the Trump administration’s cuts to an aid program.

Breaking news: ICE stops family at gunpoint—smash car window on top of newborn baby. "I was screaming that there was a baby. But they didn’t care," cried mother. “I covered my baby with my body—I was so scared he was going to be hurt because glass was landing on him."

US judge sentences planned Kavanaugh assassin to 8 years in prison reut.rs/4gU2sEr

The disgraced hip-hop mogul was sentenced to just over 4 years behind bars for prostitution-related offenses. He’ll also pay a $500,000 fine.

ICYMI: Yesterday, ICE raided a homeless shelter in Chicago, and DC Police arrested a homeless veteran and destroyed his belongings. Pay attention to attacks on homeless folks. They will spread to everybody that the admin does not like. This is fascism, full stop.

In addition to gassing people on public streets today, ICE handcuffed and detained Ald. Jesse Fuentes (26th ward) today at an ER. As we’ve seen repeatedly, ICE agents exhibit little self-discipline or understanding of the law.

“War-ravaged” Portland only exists in Trump’s head. Check out my video in Mother Jones to learn about the federal crackdown nobody asked for.

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

Shelters that house unaccompanied minors are bracing for "Freaky Friday," the start of an ICE operation that will first issue letters to children, seeking to pressure them to return to the countries they've fled in exchange for a cash payment. If they decline, their parents will be targeted by ICE.

Witness video shows federal agents throwing tear gas canisters in the middle of Armitage Ave today as they appear to be blocked in and heckled by angry neighbors. This is around the 3500 block of West Armitage.

overt nazi language in this DHS job listing (which i’m told is for a low-level but important job in adjudicating immigration applications and requires knowledge of the law)

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...

Okay so according to the right: Websites and social media moderating content to prevent abuse and misinformation = fascism The US government actively searching through everyone’s posts, photos, and messages to target people = reasonable use of authority

SCOOP — Pennsylvania prosecutors were alerted to possible voting irregularities by one of MAGA's leading voices against voter fraud. A long paper trail shows Jack Posobiec has been living in Maryland but voting using his parents' PA address for years. From @jsweetli.bsky.social, @slate.com + me:

Someone shot pedestrians with what was believed to be a BB gun while yelling racial slurs last week near the UC Berkeley student union, campus police said.

“Fuck them kids.” That’s literally what an ICE agent said when ICE, the FBI et al. raided an apartment in Chicago, including with a Blackhawk helicopter, separated children from their parents, and zip-tied them to each other. abc7chicago.com/post/ice-chi...

Trump ‘determined’ the U.S. is now in a war with drug cartels, Pentagon tells Congress, as legal experts challenge rationale for military strikes against boats in the Caribbean www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Very Trump-era story. 1. The sword has no meaning for Charles, but matters for the Eisenhower Museum. 2. Illegal for the museum to give away US property! 3. Trump makes no distinction between personal/public property. 4. The person who did the right thing was fired. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/a...

SCOOP: Leaked Document Justifies Boat Strikes as “Non-International Armed Conflict” “The Trump administration is saying that one person — the president — now decides if the United States is going to war.” theintercept.com/2025/10/02/v...

A number of federal agencies are putting out messages blaming Democratic senators for the current government shutdown, in a sharp break from how departments have handled shutdowns in the past.

Government shut down, unemployment up, thousands of federal workers fired - with no cost savings … and …. Musk becomes first person to hit $500 billion net worth, Forbes list shows - www.reuters.com/business/aut...

The White House continued to push its wildly misleading claim about Democrats’ shutdown demands with a press release boldly titled, “Fact: Democrats Shut Down Government Over Free Healthcare For Illegals.”

Ever since he helped avert a government shutdown in March—citing WIRED’s reporting on Elon Musk as part of his rationale—Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer has been waiting for this moment to redeem himself. The problem is, he may have already blown his chance: www.wired.com/story/chuck-...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court allows Lisa Cook to remain as a Federal Reserve Board Governor for now. The court schedules oral arguments for January on DOJ's request to allow Trump's purported firing of Cook to take effect during litigation.

The university president's letter is bananas, and anyone who sends such a letter should not be running an academic institution. A thread. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/u...
