They were sleeping, driving, walking in Memphis. Then Trump’s police task force came. Law enforcement surge established to focus on violent crimes has ensnared innocent residents going about their everyday lives. @wendicthomas.bsky.social @kathsburgess.bsky.social for @propublica.org @mlk50.com

“Soon to be illegal”, he means

From the guy currently running The Charlie Kirk Show. Because of course.

Lincoln-era interiors were Victorian, with wood, wallpaper, and modest fixtures, not floor-to-ceiling marble or gold accents like a modern luxury hotel. Also, the new design is cold, without character or charm and butt ugly, like the guy who designed it.

Here's an example of how Trump's corruption factory works. 1. Coinbase put $46M into elections to help Trump allies. 2. Sends him a huge check for his inauguration. 3. Trump drops SEC lawsuit against Coinbase. 4. Trump demands big donation from Coinbase for ballroom. Done.

Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

In plain sight, folks. What will it take for America to believe what's happening in front of their own eyes?

"I supported the For the People Act when the the Dems put it forward in 2021. Do you remember how many Republicans voted for that bill?" "No on Prop 50" Chair: [silence] "It was zero. Not a single Republican voted for independent redistricting commissions nationwide."

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?

An embarrassingly obvious point, but... This. Is. Illegal. If anything like the rule of law were in force, Trump couldn't arbitrarily increase a tariff because he is annoyed. In important and increasing ways, the rule of law in the US no longer exists. www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

Angus: This is a guy who showed an AI video of himself dumping diarrhea on his own citizens. So the fact that he’s freaking out because we showed a video that just had Ronald Reagan speaking shows he’s not trustworthy.

Feds have repeatedly claimed 115+ federal police (25% of force) had to be deployed to Portland over the summer to quell violence. Oregon lawyers found on discovery this was not true and are asking 9th Circuit to reverse Monday decision because feds lied: www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

This week Trump –released vid of dropping feces on protesters –swung a wrecking ball into the WH –demanded $230M from the Treasury as an “apology” –saw a pardoned J6 rioter arrested for trying to kill top Dem –said he’s greater than Lincoln or Washington. It’s only Wednesday.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

Amen!!

She alleged in the past that it was former Israeli PM Ehud Barak but we can’t know that for sure because Trump, Bondi, Patel and Johnson are hiding this person’s identity from the public by blocking release of the Epstein files. Whoever it is. For some reason.

NEW: Jim Jordan wants to question Jack Smith about his search of Mar-a-Lago, but Merrick Garland executed that search months before Jack Smith was even appointed. One of several lies in this letter demanding Jack Smith's testimony. judiciary.house.gov/sites/evo-su...

Trump claims ICE’s reign of terror in Chicago is targeting the “worst of the worst.” But out of the 1,000 undocumented immigrants that have swept up, the agency has only cited 10 men with a criminal background. Don’t believe his lies for a second. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

He forgets he was still president on Jan 6😂😂

UPDATE: Judge Perry issued an opinion explaining why she blocked the Texas National Guard deployment in Chicago. She begins with Alexander Hamilton’s rejection of a “preposterous” idea that the Constitution lets a President deploy a State’s militia to a different State for political retribution. 🧵

Trump wants to invoke the Insurrection Act to punish anyone who opposes him, and he’s following a four point plan to do it. Here’s what you need to know about it — and some thoughts on how to respond. www.youtube.com/shorts/31X8v...

bingo

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

They literally fought all the way to the Supreme Court to be allowed to do racial profiling

Vance is a liar, just like his traitor boss. Most of the GOP is crooked as hell. We need to clean house and get these criminals out of office.

I was a subscriber for decades & am dismayed at what they are. No longer an elite newspaper. Corporate news is not journalism. And we really need journalism right now.

NEW: Judge Immergut's says Trump's assessment of "war-ravaged" Portland was not made in "good faith" Even under a legal standard that gives the president "great deference," she said, there's no basis for "ignoring the facts on the ground." www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

I predicted this, and folks were like, no m, no, no they're not going to just randomly invade homes. YES. YES THEY ARE. /1 youtu.be/vOXOWAhFz0A?...

😢😢😢

Johnson nodding

Wonder why people are enraged.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality. I don't know how to yell any louder.

How is this sustainable?

"ICE tactics inflame tensions" is exactly the correct way to report on this. It's not Gavin Newsom calling the admin authoritarian that are radicalizing people against ICE, it's their own actions, which are being met with fear and horror.

NEW: Rachel Maddow drops unseen bodycam footage of feds coordinating the arrest of Newark Mayor Baraka. I REPEAT: the feds ordered his arrest even though he wasn’t breaking any laws. Federal agent: “We are arresting the mayor right now per the Deputy Attorney General of the United States.”

Business is booming in the Middle East for Trump. Deal after deal after deal.

They're going to need a bigger clown car.

"The list of culprits for destroying the Justice Department and the politically driven prosecutions of the second Trump administration must include John Roberts, their chief enabler." Great piece by @cristianfarias.com nymag.com/intelligence...

As a resident of #Portland it is impossible to capture how unhinged this is. We are a low crime city and the ICE protest "siege" consists of one auxiliary ICE office that normally has at most a dozen weirdos debating what performance art they should use to block a single driveway

Let's get this straight: MGX – a shady Abu Dhabi firm – cut deals to get sensitive American technology while enriching the Trump family’s crypto firm. Now, Trump wants that same firm and his billionaire friends to control what you watch on TikTok? What are we even doing here?
