For #DementiaDon to even be given the MoCA dementia test means his doctors think his cognitive skills are decaying.

Tomorrow, Greg Bovino will be in Judge Ellis's courtroom. Tonight, we filed a motion to amend the Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) to PROHIBIT federal forces from using tear gas from now until the preliminary injunction hearing Nov. 5. Read the motion here: www.loevy.com/wp-content/u...

We'll* be in court with Bovino tomorrow if he shows. This has been a post. *disclaimer: we're plaintiffs in this case 🚬

888mb. For reference as to how low that barometric pressure is, it's tied for the second most intense in Atlantic history:

The new AI-powered Wikipedia competitor falsely claims that pornography worsened the AIDS epidemic and that social media may be fueling a rise in transgender people.

Astonishing turn of events over the course of about 12 hours. Judge Olguin ordered DOJ to cough up the names of the attorneys who did the (apparently incomplete or erroneous) reviews of material required to be disclosed to defense counsel. Rather than comply, DOJ is dismissing the case!

On November 5, a number of science and public health-focused groups will be holding a march in Washington to demand the removal of Robert Kennedy Jr. That march is already rankling anti-vaxxers.

Two main conclusions from this Fuentes-Carlson interview: 1) MAGA has tried to keep Fuentes out of mainstream circles for years—and knows it failed. The movement’s shift to increasingly radical rhetoric, especially in TPUSA circles, was in part them trying to compete for the youth’s attention. 1/n

This is a good illustration of what’s happening tonight re ICE leadership purge. Posts and caption identify this dude as ICE, but his uniform says Border Patrol. A LOT of the most aggro stuff that has been casually attributed to ICE (esp in Chicago and LA, and in Portland in 2020) was actually CBP.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Bill Melugin got more details but Anna G. at the Examiner broke the story. Worth noting also that Bill is clearly telegraphing the message that the rank and file at ICE are NOT happy about this. This is going to be a good time for reporters to get inside stories from disgruntled ICE staff.

We filed pre-trial briefs today outlining new evidence that makes our case even stronger: the federal government admitted they overstated the number of federal agents who had been deployed to Portland before attempting to also deploy the National Guard.

The government had previously asserted that protests in Portland forced the deployment of 115 Federal Protective Service agents - but evidence shows that, at peak, only 31 FPS agents were deployed.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Guys- new spillover route just dropped.

🚨 BOMBSHELL: Federal judges caught the U.S. government lying in over 35 court cases; falsified records, fake declarations, and sworn statements built on fiction. This isn’t clerical error. It’s institutional deceit. Even legal scholars now say it looks intentional. 📺 60 Minutes | 🔗 cbsn.ws/3J8a6yA

@aoc.bsky.social from the top rope.

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

> "a September contingency plan, since deleted from the USDA’s website...said Congress intended 'that SNAP’s operations should continue' and that contingency funds 'are also available to fund participant benefits in the event that a lapse occurs [mid-fiscal year]'" www.huffpost.com/entry/govern...

It’s not just that they don’t have to turn off SNAP benefits — they’re not legally allowed to. They legally must use the contingency fund. The admin is pretending they can’t use it even though their own guidance from a month ago (that they’ve since deleted) contradicts that.

Trump on his recent trip to Walter Reed: "I got an MRI. It was perfect ... if I didn't think it was gonna be good, either I would let you know negatively, I wouldn't run, I'd do something." (Note how he's openly talking about running for a third term.)

I want to know why he had an MRI.

WOW: An UNREAL response from DOJ now to the below embedded letter about the number of Federal Protective Service officers sent to Portland. DOJ today: The error that the plaintiffs noted wasn't dispositive to the Ninth Circuit's stay, but here are two OTHER major errors we noticed in our claims.

Every time I see Joe Walsh in any context I think about the time Sacha Baron Cohen tricked him into endorsing a fake program to give guns to four year olds.

I received an email today from a woman who believes that the MMR vaccine caused her daughter’s multiple sclerosis. Given my own personal experience with MS, I have looked into this. There is no association between MMR vaccine and MS; in fact, the study below suggests that MMR may be protective.

Grokipedia now appears to be blocking traffic again lol. Always fun covering a Musk product launch, you never know what's going to happen or if the product is even real

They're not even pretending it's not about racism.

Use of MMR vaccines would have prevented these headlines and deaths. www.cidrap.umn.edu/measles/meas...

Someone tell the Democratic Party that fascism is, in fact, a kitchen table issue

Trump had an MRI done? 🧐 My son is medically fragile. He’s had his fair share of MRIs only AFTER labs, regular tests, and cat scans failed to determine possible issues surrounding both his heart and brain. Even with clean scans, his results have never been medically explained as “PERFECT!” 🥸 🎥👇🏽

Once a week someone is getting lethal mega-diarrhea from Trader Joe's because CDC publicly executed a last-in first-out MPH working the Salmonella carrots case file, and the New York Times is still running headlines asking if maybe this is just what reform looks like www.nytimes.com/2025/10/27/h...

Bravo!

Here's a great new article from a Stanford University publication about the growing threat of Valley fever in the West. Several of my colleagues and I were interviewed for it. andthewest.stanford.edu/2025/buried-...

I keep thinking about how SNAP subsidizes American farmers and feeds American children and their families and cuts to SNAP will fuck farmers and starve children and their families and that's a pretty batshit thing to actively want to do

Another reason to get your flu shot: The CDC Fluview map of influenza and ILI (influenza like illness) is normally updated weekly. It has not been changed since September 20. Patient: Help me doctor I'm really sick! Me: Ok Patient: Is flu going around? Me: Fuck if I know 🤷

TOMORROW: DC police officer Daniel Hodges, a hero of the Jan 6 response at the Capitol, will testify at a Senate subcommittee hearing on "Politically Violent Attacks: A Threat to Our Constitutional Order" Invited witness of Sen. Peter Welch (D-VT)

Over 200 members of Congress have backed our Supreme Court fight over Trump’s unlawful tariffs. The president has abused an emergency power to set illegal tariffs that are impacting families across this country. A bipartisan group in Congress - led by Senator Ron Wyden - agrees.

President Trump—the man who passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history—is CHOOSING to let families go hungry. He is outright refusing to use an emergency fund to pay SNAP benefits, even though USDA said they would just last month! Trump needs to keep SNAP running.
