Pregnant women detained by ICE report horrifying treatment: shackling, solitary confinement, no prenatal vitamins, inadequate food. ICE's own directives and regulations require the agency to avoid detention of pregnant people in the first place. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Things like this keep happening.

Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone. The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Rick Scott was CEO of a company forced to settle what the DOJ called “the largest healthcare fraud case in history.” Is that the expertise that’s driving your “plan.” www.justice.gov/archive/opa/...

Trump's FCC tried to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air...literally a month ago today! Do they think we are stupid?

Probably worth noting that both Vance and Trump have been “joking” about murdering fishermen in these strikes.

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.

#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo an order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. "We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions in Illinois."

For those of you keeping score, 18-22 year-old students calling for an end to slaughter in Gaza are so racist they need to be expelled or deported, but 24-35 year-olds celebrating Hitler, rape, and, um, racism are just kids being kids so chill. Also, racism is over so no need for Voting Right Act.

“Courage is contagious and it’s spreading all over the country right now.” @ezralevin.bsky.social and @chrislhayes.bsky.social discuss the growing backlash to Trump’s authoritarian agenda. We will see you in the streets again on Saturday to say NO KINGS: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

I guess we are now at the "They look Jewish" stage of the new Reich

Using taxpayer dollars for propaganda has been illegal for nearly 75 years. That hasn't stopped Donald Trump.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

What I don't have in experience, I make up for in integrity. And what Andrew Cuomo lacks in integrity, he could never make up for with experience.

Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social sounds the alarm about the Republican attack on the voting rights act

We can’t pay air traffic controllers during the shutdown, making us less safe, but we can send $40 billion to bail out Argentina. Make it make sense.

The Trump regime wants us to be afraid, but we’re on track to make Saturday the biggest day of peaceful protest in modern US history. There are No Kings events almost everywhere — join us to make it clear we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i...

JD Vance said today on the TPUSA podcast that these guys were “just a bunch of kids in a chat room.” bsky.app/profile/blue...

Whoa‼️ Dems could lose 19 seats due to GOP gerrymandering. CA, UT & MD can’t fight fire with fire alone. Other blue states must step up, and every Democrat needs to vote. Don’t sit out any election. Push your governors and legislators to act. Tell friends and family to vote. Help them. #YesOnProp50

Why is the Vice President of the United States so insistent on defending this inexcusable, vile behavior?

Bessent’s friends have huge investments in Argentina. Elon Musk does too. Bessent is sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina with more to come. There is zero oversight. Congress not involved. One unelected man is sending a fortune to Argentina and nobody will stop him,

The Vice President of the United States will not unequivocally condemn Young Republicans for saying that their perceived political opponents should be sent to gas chambers. A window into @jd-vance-1.bsky.social's disgraceful character.

"It’s no wonder the up-and-coming ranks of politically active youngish Republicans feel emboldened to speak in the way that they did to each other in the leaked messages. They have a mirror in the White House, and defenders all around them."

Nothing new, just the vice president of the United States making excuses for Nazis.

Antisemitism. Racism. Homophobia. Jokes about gas chambers. Even admiration for Hitler. Not from the fringes but from young GOP insiders from across the country. This is the next generation of Republican “leaders.” Hate like this should have no place in American politics. Period.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

Topics Mike Johnson thinks are serious: - Super Bowl halftime entertainer - getting a Nobel Prize for Trump - terrifying naked bike riders Topics he thinks are not serious: - Epstein Files - domestic violence - being able to keep the govt open - the neutering of Congress

"It is comforting to think we can just sit back and passively wait for this corruption nightmare to pass when the Trump presidency ends... But conservatives, their oligarch benefactors, and the Supreme Court clearly have a master plan to try to lock in the kleptocratic status quo." Commentary ↓

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery. @politico.com www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

“Epithets like “f----t,” “retarded” and “n--ga” appeared more than 251 times combined” If you ever had any doubt that the youth wing of the GOP is fully radicalized and proudly racist these days:

Rep. Jim Himes on Trump blowing up boats in the Caribbean: "The White House has not shared what they believe their legal justification is. They did put out a memo. I will tell you based on what I know now and the reading of that memo, these are illegal killings."

This is Antifa. Which, I guess, makes Republicans Profa.

Anyone saying they’re not racially profiling is unserious

The most dangerous form of government is theocracy.  Because the only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they're on a mission from God.
