Uh you think so? And the indicting GJ never heard her testimony. “Ms. Thompson’s testimony that she has lived in the house rent-free —Ms. James pays even for basic upkeep, — cd make it difficult for prosecutors to convince a jury that the house was meant to be used as a rental investment property.”

Texas is preparing emergency resources for wildfires and floods. The Texas National Guard should be THERE — not in Illinois. We stand ready to support their return home so they are best positioned for helping Texans respond to any natural disasters.

The couple in costumes said they wanted to bring joy to the protests and show that demonstrators are "fun loving people."

Make your plans for #NoKings. October 18th. Free speech is action. Please join in. You'll see me at one of the events. www.nokings.org

Know who else is not in a good mood, Mike? Americans who are seeing their health insurance premiums DOUBLE because YOU refuse to act.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2016...

BREAKING: Sens. DURBIN, DUCKWORTH were just denied entrance to the Broadview ICE Facility in Illinois, unable to conduct constitutional role of oversight.

“I’m worried about my community… I’m out here in a frog costume to show how ridiculous the notion that we’re violent terrorists is, and showcase how that narrative is wrong…” Serious Q: is it too late to give this dude the Nobel Peace Prize? 🐸 🏆

Circumcision Causes Autism?

U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) says he has been denied 4 times to see what is going on inside the Broadview, IL ICE facility: "Something's going on in there that they don't want us to see. I don't know what it is, but all Americans should be asking the same question."

George was just trying to get to work. ICE pepper-sprayed him, dragged him from his car, locked him in a detention center, and placed him on suicide watch. He even missed his young daughter’s birthday in the process. This man is a veteran and American citizen. Don't look away.

EL PASO — a family says ICE showed up at their house looking for migrants and shot and KILLED THEIR DOG, then didn’t help them as the agent ran away and was not identified. kfoxtv.com/news/local/e...

A restraining order was issued YESTERDAY by a federal judge barring detention of journalists in this district unless they refuse to reposition themselves and are given adequate time to do so, or there’s probable cause they’ve committed a crime.

Many people are saying heroin, brain worms, swimming in sewage, and eating roadkill cause insanity.

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/ newrepublic.com/article/2016...

Indicting your political enemies because they’re your enemies, not because they’ve committed crimes, is unAmerican.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

I'm sorry, did Temu Mel Gibson here just sat that the baby is *in* the placenta? Is there any aspect of human biology this lumbering science experiment of a man can't get wrong?

Notable points in Judge Perry's remarks in Illinois v Trump National Guard case.⤵️ Judge: 1. Federalized deployment of National Guard not quelling civil unrest. Instead, it is "likely to lead to civil unrest." 2. State and local community policing not well geared for out of state Guards.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system. I am not fearful — I am fearless. We will fight these baseless charges aggressively, and my office will continue to fiercely protect New Yorkers and their rights..

In a democracy based on freedom and the rule of law, we don’t jail public officials—or anyone—because of policy disagreements. We need everyone to repudiate this nonsense because a president cannot act as a prosecutor, judge, jury and dictator.

How much does Fox News pay if you go on one of their shows and claim to be a "Former ANTIFA Member"? Because I'm ready to spill tea on the Real-Housewives-level shenanigans that go down in the 72-story ANTIFA corporate headquarters. Especially by the lab assistants on the Molotov Cocktail floor.

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.

To “make” the proof. Jesus.

Reup: After deportation "Where's Waldo" figurehead Greg Bovino promised a "Shitshow" on September 27, DHS claimed 11 people were arrested. Almost two weeks later, only two charges survive, an 18% success rate. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/08/g...

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean. If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

And now for a report from the hellish, war-zone that is Portland

Sen. Ruben Gallego: "Mike Johnson is holding Congress out of session for two reasons: number one, so that way there are no negotiations; and number two, to cover for all the pedophiles on Epstein's list...They're covering for pedophiles and dropping your healthcare coverage."

Portland Cop Confronts ICE GOON Threatens Arrest After Attempt to Drive Through Protest Crowd. ICE Worker Dismisses Safety Concerns, Says 'Not Many Protesters, It Won't Be Messy’.

Make sure you read the report about how Stephen Miller deported Waco's favorite Mexican restaurant owner. www.texastribune.org/2025/10/07/t...

Attorney General Pam Bondi came before the Judiciary Committee today. But she refused to answer a raft of important questions. On Tom Homan's bribe. On Donald Trump's new luxury plane. On January 6th pardons. On illegal strikes in the Caribbean. On Epstein. The stonewalling was staggering.

If the New York Times wanted to focus on the most relevant aspect of Pam Bondi’s testimony, this headline would say that she dodged questions. Instead, NYT postures as “objective“ and treats Bondi’s appearance as if it’s a pro wrestling match. This is media cowardice.

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH: djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey." Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it." djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret." And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children. #PedoPrez

MAGA: “why didn’t Biden release the files and why didn’t you guys call for it?!” America: “Because we assumed the justice dept was doing their job. But you all demanded it and now Trump is panicking…. So uh, ya now we def want to know why he’s panicking.” See? Easy!

has anybody ever been more obviously full of shit than Pam Bondi is at the end of this 20 second clip?

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

Klobuchar: "I went over there this morning and there are actually more statues of deceased Republican leaders than there are Republican House members over there right now."

"This is supposed to be an oversight hearing" -- Schiff helpfully ticks through all of the incriminating questions -- and there are many of them -- that Bondi refused to answer during today's hearing

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

It’s important to flood social media and news channels with news about how ICE lies, so that potential jurors see it.

I'm so sick of the casualness of their constant lying.

PAY ATTENTION: ICE is filing fake 911 calls in Chicago, weaponizing emergency services to provoke local police. Ordinary citizens would be charged with a felony. ICE calls it strategy.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "Private establishments can partner with us to make it clear that private property is private property and ICE cannot enter establishments without a valid warrant ... If Congress will not check this administration, then Chicago will."

This is an important interview. A couple stopped and profiled by border patrol comes to a realization: who they voted for lied to them. It takes courage to admit it, and more to go public. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...
