Congress is considering a provision in the Intelligence Authorization Act that would end Senate confirmation of the chief lawyers responsible for secretly shaping policies on surveillance, detention, and interrogation at U.S. intelligence agencies.

Cops used 83,000 cameras to track a single abortion patient — on her abuser’s tip.

During the GOP shutdown, the mostly for-profit, private ICE detention centers are open. The safety inspectors for them have been deemed “non-essential”. This is already the deadliest year on record for detained people in ICE facilities. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Important to note ICE tends to drop off detainees before 9 a.m. and after 6 p.m., which is why people were protesting at 5 a.m. to begin with. It's not because waking up at 4 a.m. was a convenient time for protesters!

I remember when I used to go DAYS—WEEKS EVEN—without thinking about the President of the United States because I wasn’t worried about him starting a civil or world war, making a gestapo police force, or ripping our constitution to shreds.

Israel has killed or injured more than 10 percent of Gaza's population over the past 24 months.

CENSORED: “They refused to run my column this week. Too critical of Trump, they said.” Writer Dan Conway left The Daily Memphian after editors rejected his column for criticizing Trump’s unconstitutional military incursions into US cities. Read the censored column: www.facebook.com/share/p/16uP...

“…that Sora is being used for stalking and harassment will likely not be an edge case, because deepfaking yourself and others into videos is one of its core selling points.” Far from an edge case, it’s the primary use case.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

President Nicolas Maduro says right wing 'extremists' planned to bomb US Embassy and blame his government for attack.

Claim: 10 cars rammed ICE Truth: No cars rammed ICE Claim: She boxed ICE in Truth: ICE boxed her in Claim: She shot a rifle at ICE Truth: She did not have a rifle Claim: ICE returned fire Truth: Only ICE fired Claim: She drove herself to the hospital Truth: Paramedics found her

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families — and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data. We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district. Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

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

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

Texas proudly invading Illinois. It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Before and after videos reveal that much of Gaza has been reduced to ruins by Israeli bombardment.

Rubio told Fox News “We’re not going to have a cartel, operating or masquerading as a government, operating in our own hemisphere.” Not sure how this administration says things daily w/o seeing their hypocrisy.

“‘We cannot control who sees what, we cannot see what users are doing, and we cannot verify that the software itself is secure,’ the memo says.”

This is an interesting approach, since most schools have proven themselves utterly spineless in the face of the regime's demands. If they won't do the right thing b/c it's the right thing, maybe they will b/c of funding-cut threats. I f'n hate Newsom but at least he knows how to fight fire w/fire.

According to eyewitnesses, armed ICE agents dragged kids out of their beds in the middle of the night, zip tied them and put them in rented vans while raiding an * entire apartment building* on the South Side of Chicago. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOXO...

Continuing to violate the Hatch Act and changed furlough employees out of office emails without telling them. federalnewsnetwork.com/government-s...

NEW — Video shows feds escorting a Black man — with his hands behind his back — down an alley beside a nearby gas station. The man appears to be the same Black man who is in the earlier reported video being choked by federal agents on Chicago’s West Side. thetriibe.com/2025/10/new-...

NEW: In the lead-up to Trump’s second term, a PA businessman hired Tom Homan as a consultant and said he could put together a group of companies wanting to get in line to win contracts for a massive immigration enforcement plan, sources said.

Trump summoned the top American military officers stationed around the world to VA to tell them that the enemy they should be primarily concerned with now is American citizens.

WE WON: "This case -– perhaps the most important ever to fall w/in..this district court squarely presents the issue whether non-citizens lawfully present here in US..have the same free speech rights as the rest of us. The Court answers this Constitutional question unequivocally “yes, they do.”"

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

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"

Mike Johnson continues to refuse to swear in a Democrat who won in a landslide.

Has everyone heard that Reading Rainbow is coming back and that Mychal the librarian is hosting?? 🤗🌈🤗

If Republicans can’t get keep the government open, our federal firefighters will have to work without pay. Today, I introduced a bill to change that. The Federal Firefighter Paycheck Protection Act ensures our firefighters are compensated and won’t be fired during a shutdown.

It’s Tuesday morning and Dems showed up for work. But where’s the GOP? They’re not here. @repluzrivas.bsky.social

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.”

ICE is out of control. They must be reined in.

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

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.

The administration continues their push for a culture war. This is live on the HUD site now. Hatch Act violation? federalnewsnetwork.com/government-s...

If you still need to share a link to a tweet, but don't want to send people to Musk's cesspool - replace "x" with "xcancel" in the tweet link. For example x.com/dril/status/... becomes xcancel.com/dril/status/... People will still see the tweet, but without going to Twitter.

'I am Charlie Kirk.' The phrase has quickly become a catch-all display of performative Conservative virtue signaling. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/i-am-not-c...

79. American citizen.

Grijalva: I was looking at the example of now-Representative Walkinshaw from Virginia, who was elected two weeks ago Tuesday. The following Wednesday—less than 24 hours later—he was sworn in, with unofficial results. So for me, apparently the rules have now changed in just two weeks.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons announced it was terminating its labor contract with the union representing over 30,000 prison employees, marking the latest step in the Trump administration’s push to tighten control over the federal workforce.

Real post on another network:

So uh, per WaPo, Pete Hegseth has ordered all top U.S. military leaders worldwide -- some 800 U.S. military generals and admirals -- to report to a base in Virginia next week for a mystery meeting. Short notice. Nobody knows why. 😳 www.huffpost.com/entry/pete-h...

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.

Rapture day! #grwm
