Mr. Secretary, the president is on the phone. He sounds very angry and he keeps calling you Lil Marco.

Once Stephen Miller let the proverbial plenary authority cat out of the bag, he knew immediately it would be difficult (or as some believe), impossible, to EVER put it back in.

He's finding his initial fear
to be truer than he could
have imagined.

We now need people with power of strong integrity and great courage dedicated to the protection of the Constitution and of all of the people privileged to live in the US. The "war" on Antifa simply means we get arrested or worse if we call Miller a fascist b/c he is. But "traitor" fits just as well.

Portland PD threatens ICE with arrest! More. Of. This. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

At least Trump got a free jet and a $5.5 billion golf resort in Qatar, so there’s that.

Pritzker to @gregsargent.bsky.social: "Trump says a lot of crazy things. I genuinely think there's something wrong with him. I wish his family would intervene... I don’t think anybody around is going to do it bc they’re benefiting from his dementia"

I'm at the scene where ICE abducted multiple people from Lincoln and Foster this morning.

A WGN producer was among the people taken, allegedly because she was among a group of bystanders who tried to intervene. ICE agents hit this car while making their getaway.

Nobel Peace Prize Goes to Venezuela Opposition Leader Machado — Bloomberg Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize for fighting for democracy at a time when political freedom is increasingly at risk from the rise of authoritar...

This is outstanding!

👏👏🔥🔥👏👏

I bet you he couldn’t even spell Nobel the correct way

“When authoritarians seize power, it is crucial to recognize courageous defenders of freedom who rise and resist,” the Oslo-based Norwegian Nobel Committee said in a statement Friday”

Trump only really wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize for one reason: Obama President loses out to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as his dream of surpassing Barack Obama’s achievements continues to elude him

Trump only really wanted to win the Nobel Peace Prize for one reason – and you guessed it: it’s Obama.

President loses out to Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Corina Machado as his dream of surpassing Barack Obama’s achievements continues to elude him.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

ON THIS DAY - (technically yesterday, I’m slow) In 2009, former President Barack Obama won the Nobel Peace Prize for what the Norwegian Nobel Committee called "his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples."

We all know the real reason #Trump is mad about the Nobel Peace Prize..

Emergency Triad: The Chicago Rubicon and What Comes Next We aren’t at the worst-case scenario yet. But if you squint, you can see it looming out there, just over the horizon.

"There is no crisis in Chicago that requires the National Guard. To the extent that there is civil instability in Chicago it has been caused by Trump’s surge of federal agents into the city and their lawless assault on the citizens of Chicago."

JB Pritzker has also been emphatically placing Trump's mental decline squarely on the agenda. On our pod, he adds a new element: People around Trump are using his decline to manipulate him, so they're less likely to intervene. More Dems should say this. 1/

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

From Watts to D.C.: How 500 Black Neighborhoods Vanished in 45 Years America’s gentrified neighborhoods have lost 500,000 Black people, while gaining residents of every other race, a study finds.

NEW STUDY

Since I was born, 500 Black neighborhoods have vanished

And 500,000 Black people have been lost

All due to urban revitalization projects

Like the one for LA’s new coliseum — for the Clippers and ‘26 Olympics — that’s destroying Inglewood

MASSIVE BREAKING: A federal judge has just blocked the deployment of troops into Chicago by Trump.

The judge has ruled that Trump lacks authority and that his “rebellion” claims were NOT credible.

This is the genius of the Portland protests - they make the claims of lawlessness look not just wrong, but comical

A grand jury in Virginia indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James on Thursday. James was charged with one count of bank fraud and one count of making false statements to a financial institution.

Country fans are upset with Zach Bryan after he criticized ICE in a song.

But don't let it be known that Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Kris Kristofferson, and Johnny Cash all despised fascism and leaned heavily to the left.

A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

My statement on Middle East peace

Everyone can set aside partisanship, psychologizing, pathologizing, whatever, and—I would hope—still see that it’s incredibly dangerous for a political leader to be this disconnected from the real conditions in the country.

Masterful job by the Israeli government and AIPAC in making Israel a pariah state

Did DOGE save us $2 trillion?

Universal healthcare.

Wipe out insurance companies.

Cut out co pay.

Destroy ridiculous deductibles.

Costs far less in tax rises, that you are already paying out of your salary.

You would be better off.

But these companies donate HUGE AMOUNTS to republicans.

It’s all about corporations.
