Ted Cruz " Let's all come together and quit attacking pedophiles"

And here it is ↘️ Trump/Republicans platform ▶️ “All taxes are on the table ... but not for millionaires"

Trump: "The ones that are run by radical left Democrats -- what they've done to San Francisco, Chicago, New York, Los Angeles. They're very unsafe places & we're gonna straighten them out one by one. This is gonna be a major part for some people in this room. That's a war too. It's war from within"

Tell me with a straight face he's wrong here

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.”

Pritzker: "In any other country, if federal agents fired upon journalists & protesters when unprovoked what would we call it? If officials marched down streets harassing civilians & demanding their papers, what would we say? I don't think we'd have trouble calling it what it is: authoritarianism"

A disgrace. Border Patrol “commander” on who gets detained in Chicago. “‘Then, obviously, the particular characteristics of an individual, how they look. How do they look compared to, say, you?’ he said to the reporter, a middle-aged man of Anglo descent.” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

So it appears a gang of maybe 20 federal agents attempted to violently chase down and tackle a person in the streets for nothing more than exercising his clear First Amendment rights. I’m sure that CBP and ICE will punish, reprimand, and retrain these officers immediately. Oh wait….

I think the Trump admin assumed no one would try to find out who the people on the boats they blew up really were

Targeted attack on a dockside restaurant in North Carolina. Three dead. Suspect a former Marine sniper in Iraq and Haiti who tried to sue the US govt for “genocide against straight men by the LGBQT community.” Flags at half mast? Endless op-eds? Victims’ faces on coins? www.cnn.com/2025/09/28/u...

These goons really are operating in their own fascist fantasyland

Justice Kavanaugh: “If the person is a U. S. citizen or otherwise lawfully in the United States, that individual will be free to go after the brief encounter.”

As the right claims Democrats are all violent radicals, the editor of the Daily Caller decided to print this opinion piece explicitly calling for violence against the left. Absolutely disgusting, but not surprising.

the daily caller published a call to violence of the left yesterday, a news organization that has connections to the heritage foundation

Multiple people shot at Mormon church in Michigan and North Carolina bar

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

Israeli strikes and gunfire killed at least 59 people across Gaza, health officials said Saturday, as international pressure grows for a ceasefire and hostage deal while Israel’s leader remained defiant about continuing the war.

Will the AG be prosecuting this Republican for violent political language?

Reminder that Trump campaigned on sending troops into American cities to take out "the enemy from within." Something to consider next time a pundit tells you the election was really about inflation.

Page One in Indy: The tariff/trade war “consequences for US farmers could be catastrophic in the coming years.”

It took me 2 minutes to write about how this proposed rule would eliminate all foreign PhD students, who are a critical part of US science and technology, and drive US innovation and economic growth

The media have to start framing this accurately. The president is now functioning as a tyrant. The story is whether the other two branches of government will do anything to stop him.

Heavy Sigh.

BREAKING NYT:   Trump just fired a U.S. attorney who insisted on following a court order.   Michele Beckwith, the top federal prosecutor in Sacramento, was fired hours after she reminded a Border Patrol chief to abide by court-ordered restrictions on immigration raids.

U.S. preparing options for military strikes on drug targets inside Venezuela, sources say www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

What the fuck?

Israeli drones attacked a fleet of small boats bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza. @tgmarc.bsky.social was there. And the Global Sumud Flotilla is continuing its mission. Listen to the full pod episode on Apple: interc.pt/46GEc3R Spotify: interc.pt/3KIHCvq Everywhere else: interc.pt/3KFE7WE

🚨NEW: For the first time in history, the single largest group of people arrested in the interior and sent to ICE detention is people with NO criminal record. As of yesterday's data release, 40%(!) of those arrested in the interior and detained by ICE had no prior conviction or pending charges.

Shockingly, it turns out there is a limit to what is tolerable. This is an opportunity to be exploited. Record everything. Get loud. And get trained in bystander intervention. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/n...

The House Oversight Democrats have released documents from Jeffrey Epstein’s estate showing Epstein was scheduled to have lunch with Steve Bannon (Bannon filmed hours of interviews with him), that Elon Musk was going to visit Epstein Island, and that Prince Andrew was aboard Epstein’s jet.

Took fire to the face. ICE definitely isn’t aiming at ground and firing at people’s heads again.

The video is... something else. This ICE agent has zero training. Stuffing the gun in his belt, so of course it falls out? What restraining hold was he even trying to do? Why did he point the gun at the crowd? Everyone who played a role in putting this guy on the street needs to be fired.

1/ I’m Till Eckert, a ProPublica reporter. For the past 2 weeks, I’ve been going to the same NY immigration courthouse. Nearly every time, I see ICE agents arresting immigrants. Today, a woman was slammed to the ground after begging officials not to take her husband away. Thread 👇

Don't look away. This is being done in your name, my fellow Americans.

A police officer was killed in the attack on the CDC by an antivaxxer. Trump did not mention it. Use this as a benchmark to compare how the Trump administration responds to an attack on an ICE facility to judge which federal employees are deemed worth protecting. abcnews.go.com/US/1-week-af...

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

Martin's entire thing is writing nuisance letters - remember he was also writing to academic journals asking for move oversight of their editorial policies - that shows he is an absolute crank. But trying to get FBI agents who undermined Alex Jones Sandy Hook conspiracy theories is a new low.

In absolutely horrible news I learned this morning that Hany was killed in an air strike- he was driving people from the North to the South when it happened. This is one of the last messages he sent me 💔 He leaves behind 8 kids, he was only 48 and he was very kind.

This is horrific and feels like it should be a bigger deal. Business Insider reports that people who have worked at xAI have seen Grok create images and written material with child sex abuse material. www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-gr...

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations. www.reuters.com/world/us/tru...

new from @kylietcheung.bsky.social in @teenvogue.com: recently, men have impersonated plainclothes ICE agents to assault women—only possible, she argues, because state agents commit violence with impunity. "To be clear, men wouldn’t be posing as ICE agents and assaulting women if ICE didn’t exist."

The US hit ANOTHER boat in the Caribbean today. Trump shared video of it, again accusing the crew of being drug traffickers. With 3 allegedly killed, this brings the total killed in all 3 attacks to 17 this month, per White House figures. New @taskandpurpose.com taskandpurpose.com/news/us-thir...

Be sure you take a moment today to remember Charlie Kirk for exactly who he was.
