Inside Stephen Miller’s Secret Plan to Normalize Trump’s Dictator Rule He wants to supercharge searing civil tensions to get low-information voters to embrace their inner authoritarian. Exactly two Democrats appear to fully grasp this.

JB Pritzker and Gavin Newsom are doing something new and important: They understand Stephen Miller's theory of fascist power politics, and they've developed a theory on how to combat it. More Dems need to reckon with Miller's understanding of the moment.

Zip tied children!!!!

Up late, Trump posted a purported 1963 RFK letter justifying President Kennedy federalizing the Alabama National Guard to desegregate the University of Alabama.

Trump is trying to compare what he is doing now to confronting George Wallace and segregation.

Trump Says America’s Oil Industry Is Cleaner Than Other Countries’. New Data Shows Massive Emissions From Texas Wells. The oil industry touts Texas as a success story in controlling climate-warming methane emissions. The state’s regulator, however, grants nearly every request to burn or vent gas into the atmosphere.

Oil companies in Texas requested permission to burn off or release more than 195 billion cubic feet of natural gas per year — enough to power more than 3 million homes and generate millions in tax revenue had the gas been captured.

WATCH: Trump’s lawless Ice goons shoot an unarmed priest in the head with a pepper ball. Completely out of control.

Just heard Leah Litman (Strict Scrutiny YT) make a chilling point: if a president tries to send one state’s National Guard into another, that’s not law and order that’s civil war.

Sit with that for a bit. POTUS is essentially attempting to orchestrate a Civil War… in broad daylight.

Psychiatrists call for RFK Jr. to be replaced as health secretary Two groups are calling for new leadership at HHS after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s actions on substance abuse treatment and mental health medications, among other issues.

"RFKJr is trying to eliminate the agency responsible for supporting states & localities w/ overdose prevention," says Dr. Eric Rafla-Yuan.

The doctors are also concerned about his attacks on psychiatric medications.

Let's not forget that he's a fan of viruses, too.

Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also!

Trump calls for Brandon Johnson and JB Pritzker to be imprisoned

Rep. Bonamici (OR) reveals that many Rs are just as horrified and outraged at the corruption, flagrant disregard for the Constitution, illegality, damage to their own constituents and global dangers, but are too afraid of retribution from this vengeful Reich to stand up to it.

Holy crap. Trump will make the FCC crucify Jimmy Kimmel for this.

Must-read on Trump’s lawless Chicago invasion: “The president instructed federal agents to use extralegal violence against immigrants & citizens, pitting armed soldiers from 1 state against citizens of another… rubicons can’t be uncrossed.” www.thebulwark.com/p/emergency-...

🚨 Here’s an update regarding the Chicago ICE raid on September 30th:

Not all children have been confirmed reunited with their parents—the State of Illinois has launched an investigation into potential child abuse during the ICE raid in Chicago.

J.B. Pritzker has directed DCFS investigations

Trump Threatens No Back Pay for Shutdown’s Furloughed Workers President Donald Trump opened the door to blocking back pay for certain federal workers when the government reopens, a move that would heighten legal scrutiny of the administration’s maneuvers during the shutdown.

White House considers not paying federal employees for the days they have been furloughed during the shutdown, according to a person familiar with the matter, a move that could run afoul of a law that mandates workers get backpay once the government re-opens.

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.

Post Traumatic Disorder Adam O’Neal says he’s bringing “intellectual diversity” to The Washington Post’s opinion pages—but the moves he’s making behind the scenes tell a different story.

Last week, new WaPo opinion editor Adam O'Neal quietly carried out another purge of staffers, cutting editors and major names like Marc Fisher and David Hoffman, among others.

Meanwhile, he welcomed three conservatives to the section.

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

Y’all! The woman in Chicago who was shot by ICE after allegedly ramming agents with her car didn’t do it.
Body-cam footage shows the opposite. The ICE agent rammed her then jumped out, and started shooting. Video posted on social media forced them to release their footage.

CBS reports ICE agents have repeatedly made fake 911 calls. Each time, police found no threat. In Illinois, that’s a felony.

Health officials confirm 9th, 10th cases in SC measles outbreak More cases of measles have been confirmed in South Carolina after an outbreak in the Upstate.

Shaheen, a retiring Dem Rs are looking to flip on shutdown, says of OMB threats on back pay: “It would be a lot easier to resolve the situation if Russ Vought would stop talking.”

I'm on the record saying that Russ Vought will do things during the shutdown that will make his illegal rescissions visible in the way they otherwise weren't. And boy howdy, threatening to ignore the law on backpay is a great example. [corrected]

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.

The guy we are saving with $20B bailout

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...

Here’s video of the incident

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.

Their outrage always seems to skip the actual predators.
