JUST IN: The Republican Mayor of Fairbanks, Alaska’s second biggest city, lost re-election last night to a Democrat.

Mayor David Pruhs is a conservative who fought protections for LGBTQ+ residents; he made comments this year drew condemnation this year from Alaska Natives. He lost to Mindy O'Neall.

Starving children screaming for food as US aid cuts unleash devastation and death across Myanmar U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio has repeatedly said “no one has died" because of his government’s decision to gut its foreign aid program.

I'm not a quoter of scripture, but this seemed appropriate for the horror that has been unleashed because of the gutting of USAID.

The government is shooting priests in the head with pepper balls. I feel like this is a kitchen table issue.

CNN: “An older couple making $85K/year will see their yearly insurance premiums jump from $7K to $25,000 — 30% of their income.” 😳#TrumpShutdown #TrumpHealthCareTax

This is what Dems are drawing attention to and want fixed. Now, not later.

Long COVID is here to stay—even in children Post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC, also known as long COVID) are complex, multisystem, long-lasting complications of SARS-CoV-2 infection that profoundly impact the daily life of those...

I just learned that the number of children in the U.S. navigating life with Long COVID exceeds that of the number of kids with asthma.

Wow.

US military action is done with the American people’s money in the American people’s name, as is DOJ. The people’s elected representatives in Congress have oversight authority. They are 100% entitled to this info.

You know who doesn’t have to disclose legal advice? Personal attorneys and advisors.

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.

Justice Dept has 10 days left to respond to civil lawsuit filed by Jan 6 police responders who are seeking court order to require display of Jan 6 law enforcement honorary plaque at US Capitol

Plaque was required to be hung by 2023 under federal law

It hasn’t been hung

RAJU: You swore in 2 GOP members during pro forma session. Why not swear in Grijalva? Does it have to do w/her signature on Epstein petition?

JOHNSON: It has nothing to do with that. We'll swear her in when everybody is back

R: Why not now?

J: Uh - we'll schedule it, I guess, as soon as she wants

Space Law, Race, and Neurodiversity: Autistic Advocate AJ Link We live in a country & society that is built on racism. The neurodivergent community isn't free of that racism—per Autistic advocate AJ Link.

“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform?

One of the more incredible stories out of LA this year has been how a taco review blog became the best on-the-ground coverage of ICE raids in the city.

They do a dispatch every day, follow-up on the kidnapped people (which almost no media outlet has done), and fact-check government claims.

City Council committee ratifies firefighter contract, measure goes to full Council for approval The unanimous voice vote by the City Council's Committee on Workforce Development means $185 million in retroactive paychecks could soon be in the mail to 4,800 rank-and-file firefighters and paramedics whose pay has been frozen for more than four years.

Happening right now. To us. In America.

Literally unconstitutional; Congress has the power of the purse under Article I. Trump is trying to create a personalist regime where every dollar of federal spending is allocated at his whim.

O'Hare flights delayed as government shutdown hits staffing As the government shutdown continues for a seventh day, many of the nation's busiest airports are reporting ground delays or temporary closures as many federal employees are furloughed or working without pay.

Waukegan mayor intervenes after Border Patrol arrest of woman turns physical outside Waukegan City Hall The Waukegan mayor intervened after U.S. Border Patrol agents forcefully arrested a woman, who is reportedly an American citizen, outside of the Waukegan City Hall Monday afternoon.

This just happened:

"Never in modern times has the federal government undermined bedrock constitutional protections on this scale or usurped states’ police power by directing federal agents to carry out an illegal mission against the people for the government’s own benefit," asserts the lawsuit.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'you’re free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

Judge blocks South Carolina from giving DOJ millions of voters' data Sep. 3, 2025

Judge's house on fire

ICE is hog tying protesters in Portland and removing them on Dollies.

This is dangerous and could cause serious injury.

The Department of Homeland Security thinks it’s a joke.

They’ve shared this video with the tagline “Refuse to Walk? We’ll give you a ride”.

Stay strong Portland.

NEW: Extraordinary scenes in Amsterdam this afternoon (Sunday, Oct 5).

Everyone should be saying this.

The burden is on them to DISPROVE that his aides aren't running things because he is feebleminded. They can't.

Make this a drumbeat.

It's increasingly clear that the president lives in a constructed bubble of unreality designed by aides who are manipulating him in order to take control of US policy. Seems like an important story - wish media would cover it.

we will see what happens, but i do not suspect a judge (any judge that hears this) is going to look favorably upon what is very obviously an attempt to circumvent another judge’s ruling

American taxpayers are paying people to post Bible verses on a US government account.

The judge is a woman.

in a new post, trump claims he has a 65% approval rating. he is trying to manufacture consent. don't let him: www.gelliottmorris.com/p/a-lot-of-p...
