Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

We have reached the point where the *American Bar Association* cannot find attorneys willing to represent them in litigation against the Trump administration. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Folks, Jordan Wood is running for the U.S. Senate in Maine in 2026. He’s a Democrat. He’s 36 years old. He’s a progressive. His campaign emphasizes anti-corruption, standing up against corporations and wealth, and pro-democracy reform. Check him out… @jordanwood.bsky.social

My daughter died four years ago today. It's an emptiness that can never be filled and a grief that will be with me for the rest of my life. But I'm also so grateful that I got to be her mom; to love her and be a part of her life.💜

Never imagined our law enforcement would look like this.

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish. The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy

This document is … insane? Incredible? In it the USG shakes down a university for $1.17 BILLION “to avoid legal action” and dictates how hiring, promotion, admissions, scholarships, and CURRICULA REVIEW will be conducted. It stipulates how and when students can protest on campus. It is un-American

He also rightly pointed out that when the KY legislature passed the ban there was only one trans athlete in the whole state--a seventh grader kicked off the field hockey team she started www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Trump didn’t get the funding from oligarchs to destroy our WH because he was trying to save taxpayer money. He knew that Congress was not going to fund it, & even making the ask would have given the public advance notice and led to hearings. He wanted to do it like a King would.

NEW: NBC News confirms that the Jacqueline Kennedy Garden, on the east side of the White House, has been destroyed as part of the demolition of the East Wing. (📸 Getty Images)

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

The US froze aid to Colombia Much of which is used to fight drug cartels Because the president of Colombia said the US killed Colombian fishermen In what is supposed to be a US military campaign to stop drug cartels

Wow. In a review of Fauci's autobiography, Bhattacharya stepped forwards as a defender of notorious 1990s HIV denier Peter Duesberg, whose pseudoscience led to hundreds of thousands of avoidable AIDS deaths in South Africa. Of course every caring scientist denounced Duesderg, but for JB that's mean.

“James Talarico spent two years teaching English to sixth graders in San Antonio. this is more scandalous than having a Nazi tattoo” - Matt Stoller, an extremely smart and normal guy

Republican Scott Leinendecker is now the “sole owner of Dominion” > making the deal contingent on “dropping”remaining lawsuits against OANN & “prominent conservatives.” Leiendecker told the Caller that “remaining litigation” w/ Mike Lindell, Rudy Giuliani & Sidney Powell will also be “dropped.” 1/

Another Turning Point USA (TPUSA) chapter leader has been outed as a neo-nazi and member of violent white supremacist organizations Patriot Front and Active Club.

A fun byproduct of unitary executive theory—if the president controls everyone under him, he can demand they transfer hundreds of millions in tax dollars into his bank account

Graduate seminar did a deep dive on Thomas Paine’s Common Sense yesterday. At the line, “in America the law is king,” they (14 students from 6 countries) burst out laughing. I've been doing this for 35 years and this is the first time that was a laugh line.

Trump has believed, since his first term, that the U.S. treasury is his personal piggy bank (as he did with his personal charity). The entire purpose of his presidency is to funnel as much of it as he can to himself and his family

A demolition job that began Monday with the disappearance of the White House’s eastern entrance advanced Tuesday with the destruction of much of the East Wing to make way for President Trump’s planned ballroom. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021. The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.

I’m old enough to remember a whole lot of people being attacked and derided recently for warning this administration would come for the Civil Rights Act, and now the NYT is talking about a post-civil rights government.

Per the Foundation's website, past recipients of this award include Henry Kissinger (twice), Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld.

The Epstein files contain the name of a prominent former PM who brutally beat & sexually assaulted an 18 year old. Trump, Bondi, Patel & Johnson don’t want the world to know his name. That’s why Johnson will have the House adjourned today for the 78th day out of the last 90.

EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification. I glanced down at the message. “Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began. So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies. www.lawfaremedia.org/article/anna...

Bash asks Santos about his commutation, which voids his restitution sentence. "You were ordered by the court to pay $370,000 in restitution to the people you defrauded. Will you still pay that back?" Santos: "If it's required of me by the law, yes. If it's not, then no." It's not. And he knows it.

The deal would give Bukele possession of individuals who threatened to expose the alleged deals his government made with MS-13 to help achieve El Salvador’s historic drop in violence, officials said. www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related. He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

Air Force Academy alumni board withdraws motions to honor Charlie Kirk www.militarytimes.com/news/your-mi...

NYT confirms our reporting from days ago - which the WH said was fake news - that Trump and Hegseth are pulling a stunt to fire artillery rounds over I-5 between SD and LA onto Camp Pendleton as a stunt, one of the busiest highways in America. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/u...

Honestly, the "everyone is 12" theory is probably overshooting the age estimate by 3 or 4 years.

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!

I was trying to put my finger on what bothered me about this portrayal and I think it’s that it just takes the guy’s words at face value, like he was a nice guy and reaction to Charlie Kirk’s death just pushed him over the edge www.nytimes.com/2025/10/12/u...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days. They have worked 12 days in 3 months. Epstein Shutdown.

Johnson: "Grijalva should be working for her constituents right now. I don't know what she's doing. I keep seeing their political stunt videos. She should be in her office. She should be working or in the district for her constituents" (Grijalva is not in fact a Rep. b/c Johnson refuses to seat her)

Again, it is a full-blown federal felony crime for anyone in the White House or Executive Office of the President to order tax investigations into anyone. And it's not just a crime to DO it, it's even a federal crime for an employee not to REPORT such an order to the Treasury Inspector General.

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts. We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A law was passed a long time ago to place a plaque on the wall to honor the officers who defended the Capitol on J6. The plaque is done and has been ready to hang up for a long time. MAGA Mike refuses to comply with that law, which is a slap in the face to every officer. bsky.app/profile/atru...

What could be worse than screaming at a Capitol police officer?

JD Vance can dismiss the Young Republicans as a college group chat. But let's be clear: the group chat includes a State Senator, a Trump Admin official, and multiple Republican staffers — and some of the worst comments came from folks associated with Mike Johnson, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Lawler.

Trump has a very simple worldview: the Presidency is not a public office, it is his property. He can use it to satisfy his personal or partisan whims, or to enrich himself. So here, he threatens to reorganize an international competition, cohosted by Mexico and Canada, to settle a vendetta.

Would it really be in keeping with Alfred Nobel’s legacy if she didn’t turn out to be terrible?
