Jared Kushner is going to the Middle East to negotiate a deal on behalf of the U.S. government days after Kushner announced a $55 billion deal between his private equity fund and the Saudi government One of the most brazen conflicts in history.

I was a skeptic about the import of the Epstein files. But 3 invasions of cities, one military buildup outside Venezuela, a government shutdown, and so many other things meant to distract have me convinced whatever’s in there is the biggest presidential scandal in U.S. history.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality. Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook. Our duty is to stand up to brutality. Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Raise your hand if you knew in your bones that when the SCOTUS ruled that racial profiling is OK now, they meant to take away basic Constitutional due process rights from Black people. 🙋🏾‍♀️

Watch ICE illegally arrested Chicago Alderman Jessie Fuentes inside a hospital emergency room—simply for asking them to show a warrant for a man they detained.

🎯 SEN. YARBRO: “Historically bad decision by Gov. Bill Lee to voluntarily sign up for whatever in the hell this is.”

Gov is shutdown. Let’s see who picks it up this time 🤣

Stephen Miller tells law enforcement in MEMPHIS: “You are unleashed.” Was he addressing local police or Rottweilers ? bsky.app/profile/freq...

I’m not massively familiar with the duties of ‘Deputy White House Chief of Staff’, but Stephen Miller telling law enforcement that they’re ‘unleashed’, doesn’t strike me as being within his purview I can’t wait for his downfall. I want to see him vilified for the rest of his miserable existence.

Stephen Miller is, I think, the most genuinely evil member of this administration. He's the one that just wants to kill people from a position of authority. To order mass death that he can watch and not be challenged on. Motherfucker daydreams of piano wire.

Trump Pledged Government Shutdown "Chaos" Wouldn't Happen Under His Leadership Truth Social posts undermine Trump's current posture of blame meidasnews.com/news/trump-p...

Reminder that Stephen Miller received ZERO votes yet he’s running the executive branch of our government.

"Stephen Miller confessed that when he uses such dehumanizing language he is, 'using this language to mark people. To put a target on them. … It is a message [he] is sending to all the crazies and lunatics out there' to go target the people he dehumanizes."

Stephen Miller makes a persuasive argument that Stephen Miller is a terrorist. www.emptywheel.net/2025/10/02/s...

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

“It actually doesn’t take much to be considered a difficult woman. That’s why there are so many of us.” ― Jane Goodall 💙 RIP to a real one. My childhood hero

Very encouraging to read that the Government is preparing to lift the two-child limit as part of its child poverty strategy, but it is disheartening that options short of scrapping it entirely are still being considered. Thread on why this would be the wrong choice for an ambitious strategy:

What a line from the Pope! I am so pleased he is carrying on Pope Francis’ advocacy for immigrants.

The president said, in a televised speech, that he's sending his new, less restrained, more violent military into US cities to practice their brutality on immigrants and minorities, to better train them to apply that brutality to other countries. He said this out loud.

Let's be clear...this shutdown belongs to Felon47.

Lawrence: One of the examples you've put out is in Speaker Mike Johnson's Louisiana district, a 60 year old couple earning 82,000 a year. Their health care premiums will rise by almost $20,000 by 300% because of what their congressman is doing.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social : “At some point we’ve gotta call these people’s B.S. for what it is. You can’t believe everything a con man is gonna tell you. We cannot live in perpetual fear of these clowns.” #TrumpShutdown

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress. Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights. But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.

The President. Of The United States. Is batshit insane. Full stop.

Why is Pete Whatever, with the DOD speaking of competence in the military? He’s a FoxNews host a with zero military experience and from the videos, I question if he could pass the physical fitness test. Perhaps we should begin with him. @senatorblackburn.bsky.social Senator- #epstein files.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it?  I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism.  So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

It certainly appears the United States murdered an innocent fisherman who was a husband and father to four children, claimed he was a "narco-terrorist," posted a video of the execution, and then made jokes about it

Maxwell was subsequently moved from a low-security prison in Florida to a lower, minimum-security prison camp in Texas. The Bureau of Prisons STILL does NOT why she was transferred. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear her appeal.

People of Illinois, we need your help. Get your cell phones out – record what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know this is happening – and that we won’t stand for it.

RELEASE THE TRUMPSTEIN FILES.

Good for Watson. Words that should have come from Trump since he was there the first day. But this is the kind of behavior he encourages.

Congrats to team Europe for winning the Ryder Cup. Historic and well deserved. Our fans were disgraceful. An embarrassment to the US team and the game of golf. No class, dignity or grace…just like their cult leader in the White House.

We should be looking for the missing Alligator Auschwitz detainees at Fort Bliss in Montana. Why is not one allowed to do an audit of who is actually there?

One person having the power to upend entire industries and economic sectors on a whim every day that puts companies out of business and workers out of jobs with no legislative input is an autocracy, regardless of whether that person initially acquired power through an election.
