Video everything! "restricts agents from using certain riot control weapons, such as tear gas and pepper balls, 'unless such force is objectively necessary' to prevent 'an immediate threat.' It also bars agents from using physical force, including shoving protesters and journalists to the ground"

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

As an antibully advocate in the Texas school system, the main lesson I used to impress upon kiddos was “never give your power away.” Speaker Emirita Nancy Pelosi instilled that lesson upon ME decades ago, especially as a woman. #ThankYouNancy, and congratulations on your retirement! 💖🙏🏽

Remember when he said he would rush in to stop a school shooter?

Headline writers all! Thanks for these.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

I'm sad and angry and frustrated

So smooth

If we're going to move forward as a nation. We're going to have to learn to have compassion for the farmers. I can forgive the duped for being duped. I can't forgive the dupers for duping them. The suicide rate among farmers is 3.5-5 times above the national average. youtube.com/shorts/__fZm...

One day he'll slip into a coma and no one will notice

Tricky question

I like my taxes to be used to feed hungry children, not murder innocent fishermen. Cruelty is the Republican Party's oxygen.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

THREE WINS TODAY, Nov 6, 2025 L.A. Thu, Oct 30 - LAUSD will be providing three free meals to any student that needs it, as long as SNAP benefits are paused. Sumner, TN Thu, Oct 30 - even with new library board of trustees member Riley Gaines, the anti-trans book ban has failed for a 4th time 1/

The only type of ice organization that's acceptable!

The first honest thing Steve Bannon has ever said.

On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has: -Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks -Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise -Made the largest cut to SNAP in history -Canceled the annual food security survey Shameful.

Air traffic controllers are working without pay right now.   Trump could stop this Republican shutdown today by simply convening a meeting with legislative leaders.

Hear, hear!

This is Kintsugi. She arrived at a shelter with a fractured leg. Her rescue sadly believes she was abused based on her behavior. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover her $5,200 surgery to correct it. She was adopted and is healing beautifully in her forever home ❤️‍🩹

A good day in the courts Sandwich guy: Delivered SNAP bennies: Released Chicago Thugs: Enjoined

The red states are the “taker” states.

There are constitutional ways for the president to set tariffs - with safeguards, set by Congress. Trump even used them in his first term. This time, though, he chose to abuse an emergency power to set illegal tariffs.

U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis' preliminary injunction is in. Read it in full here: cst.brightspotcdn.com/37/f5/b85033...

Civics education is vital.

Virginia broke barriers and made history this week! 🇺🇸 We could not be more excited for AG-elect @jonesjay.bsky.social and the people he will work tirelessly for in office.

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

The judge DENIES the government a stay. SNAP must be fully paid by TOMORROW.

BREAKING: A federal judge finds the Trump administration "did not comply" with his order.

Q: There is this significant buildup of military forces in the region. There are public threats by Trump to launch attacks. How should Americans interpret that? Pentagon spokeswoman: This is historic. We're used to seeing these aircraft in the Middle East, not necessarily in our backyard.

"Even Pope Leo XIV weighed in, saying in an interview with Crux, a Catholic news website, that Mr. Musk’s compensation was a symptom of the growing disparity between working people and the wealthy. The median Tesla worker earned around $57,000 in 2024, according to a company securities filing."

50% of workers can't afford healthcare. People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries. GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition. … and Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay out. And people think moms getting SNAP are the problem.

IRS Direct File ends. Here are other free or low-cost tax-filing options to consider.

Rep. @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social Grijalva: “What Speaker Johnson has done by not seating me is highlight how corrupt Trump is and allow me to connect with people across the country.” #TrumpEpsteinCoverUp

Sandwich Guy appears to have more decency in his fingertip than the entirety of the Trump administration.

😡😡😡

The government will open after the TN-07 special election December 2nd, so Johnson has a vote to cancel Grijalva's on the Epstein discharge petition. Unless.... democrats WIN that special election...

Illegal impoundments are so important to Republicans that they’re insisting on language that would prevent GAO from suing. How can you make a budget deal when one side insists on the ability to ignore that deal?

That chyron tho:

The right side of his face is still drooping, and his right hand looks swollen

Ellis brings up the "shocks the conscience" element of weighing use of force in a legal context. She finds federal agents' use of force in instances highlighted in this case "shocks the conscience."

Judge Ellis is on the bench this morning about to rule in the case about DHS's use of force in Chicago. Things are not going well for DHS — she just accused Gregory Bovino of lying under oath about his use of force.
