VIEWER FEEDBACK: One viewer says I won't read negative feedback and another viewer says I'm a lying viper from hell

Looks like all votes are in?

GOP total: 36,854 (54.3%)
Dem total: 31,002 (45.7%)

If this was the general that'd be a 13.7 pt Dem overperformance vs. Trump's margin in TN-07 last year, FWIW.

Hoping for the best outcome for humanity.

🚨 United States v. Weber Learn more here.

NEW: After a filing in California today, voters and pro-voting groups have now moved to intervene in all DOJ lawsuits seeking full, unredacted voter lists — in CA, MI, MN, NH, NY, PA, ME and OR.

Holy crap.

This is fantastic.

I didn’t know he had it in him.

If the National Governors Association chooses to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.

We should be standing as one against the idea that Donald Trump can call up the National Guard against our will.

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

The GOP now practicing Cliff's Notes Fascism

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

The First Amendment explicitly guarantees:

-the right of the people peaceably to assemble
-to petition the Government for a redress of grievances
-the free exercise of religion
-freedom of speech

If this priest had also been press, ICE would have violated all five 1A freedoms at once.

This has nothing to do with crime. This is an attempt to crush political dissent.

Never before, in our entire 250 year history, has the military or immigration agents been used like this. It's dystopian, illegal, and it should stop.

"So, Democrats have three words for this: no fucking way. It's literally life or death. We will not let Republicans blow up our health care system."

This is, hands down, the best comms work Chuck Schumer has done in YEARS. Surprisingly good.

Thanks, New Yorker

Critics of Trump’s immigration crackdown are using the term ‘Kavanaugh stop.’ Here’s what it means. - The Boston Globe The phrase, is "a window into where [the administration] can go next," some advocates say.

They said on-line isn’t real life, and Bluesky is a niche social media site.

But here is @akalhan.bsky.social getting “Kavanaugh Stops” into the Boston Globe!

With a pic of Kav looking a little petulant too (but then when doesn’t he?).

Glad to see this is sticking to him.

Happening in America. Right now. To us.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

File state charges. This is a crime.

These people are evil. Never stop saying so. Don’t be intimidated into shutting up.

Every major city in Texas has a higher murder rate than Chicago

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Here’s video of the incident

DNI Tulsi Gabbard orders U.S. intel agency leaders to stem leaks DNI Tulsi Gabbard issued a directive to review polygraph policies and curb press leaks, echoing actions taken by the Bush and Obama administrations.

My law partner @bradmossesq.bsky.social weighs in on the newly ordered polygraphs. Pure show.

My piece on the right to videotape ICE should be out tomorrow.

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

This is very good.

Well said and well done. Please keep fighting and don’t budge. We are with you.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

This is not about politics. It's about people.

Let’s break it down:

Religious protesters say ICE threatens religious freedom in Chicago (RNS) — Despite potential danger, religious leaders and faith activists have been a visible presence at Chicago-area ICE protests, some waving signs with slogans such as ‘Love thy neighbor’ and ‘Who w...

NEW: I spoke to clergy and faith leaders who've joined protests at the Chicago-area ICE facility.

Three say they've been shot with pepper balls, sometimes while praying.

All say ICE is also violating their religious freedom, and one is arguing it in court. religionnews.com/2025/10/07/i...

Oregon National Guard Adjutant General, General Gronewold says if they are federalized, that he will advise the Title 10 commander to utilize National Guard Troops to PROTECT protesters at ICE facilities. This is the right answer.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

Republicans spent the day reminding everyone that Lindsey Graham and other GOP electeds were talking to Trump’s team during the effort to overturn a free and fair election. Not exactly the flex they think it is.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.
