A dirty slate.

I am just shocked that the doxxing site that popped up hours after the murder of Charlie Kirk appears to have been operated by grifters 😑

The AWS Outage Bricked People’s $2,700 Smartbeds When Amazon Web Services went offline, people lost control of their cloud-connected smart beds, getting stuck in reclined positions or roasting with the heat turned all the way up.

People are upset that their Internet-connected...beds?...they paid thousands of dollars for and then pay an on-going subscription for turned against them and could not be manually adjusted during an AWS outage.

"smart" beds 🙄

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

the symbolism of “Trump destroying the White House for a overpriced luxury vanity project, during a government shut down, days after a historically-large mass demonstration against his regime called “No Kings”’ would be rightly viewed as laying it on a little thick if it was in a work of fiction

Troubling connections to so-called "designated terrorist organizations" described by a former FBI lawyer.

Johnson acknowledges the most horrific thing he has witnessed out of Portland is...naked bicyclists? 🚳🤔

But I thought this was a Democrat-caused shutdown of the Republican majority federal government?

There is no insurrection in Portland unless you consider an uptick of people wearing inflatable frog costumes an insurrection.

No one is falling for this absurd propaganda, and there is NO justification for deploying our troops against peaceful American citizens.

Here's some of that "Free Press" perspective we should expect at CBS News now that Weiss has been bought in.

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.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.

‘I’ve definitely had spicier tamales,’ says Portland ICE protest frog that got pepper sprayed by federal agents The 24-year-old talks about the spray, the viral video and why he’s protesting.

🐸 The frog that started it all. Love this guy and thought others would want to know his story, too.

Exclusive: Fake cellphone tower likely surveilled protesters at Portland ICE facility Law enforcement officials may have deployed a secretive cellphone surveillance technology last weekend at Portland’s ICE facility.

EXCLUSIVE: A cell-site simulator, commonly referred to as an IMSI-catcher or "Stingray," may have been used at the ICE facility in Portland.

House Press Gallery: During today's pro forma session, the Clerk read a message from the Speaker designating Tuesday, October 14 through Sunday, October 19 as a district work period.

Punchbowl's Briana Reilly: House gaveled in and out of its pro forma just now w/o recognizing Rep Elfreth, who was seeking to UC a mil pay bill from Rep Sykes. Elfreth told reporters after that House Dems stand “ready and willing to take” up standalone legislation to pay troops.

A few minutes ago in the House:

- Speaker Mike Johnson officially cancels votes next week, extending the House recess through a fourth week

- House Republicans block Democrats from passing a bill to pay the troops during the shutdown, ensuring they will miss paychecks next week

I don't know if there's such a thing as a "world cyberwar" but I think we are in one? and the US is determined to lose it. 🧵

Today the admin is mass-firing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), the nation's cybersecurity protection across all levels of government.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Imagine the sadism necessary to be an armed federal agent, under no threat whatsoever, willing to shoot a priest in the head.

ICE is “a portrait of an authoritarian secret police that seems set to model itself on history’s worst fascist enforcers.” www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/welcome-to...

Perhaps not showing a contradiction so much as the callow opportunism that characterizes the unqualified appointees of the Trump regime.

Weird to frame the takeaway as this escalating pressure on Democrats when it's plainly just more of Vought's Project 2025 torment of the federal workforce.

They’re using American tax dollars to fund infrastructure in Argentina because that’s where they’re all going to flee when we kick them out of office

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

An unprecedented violation of our civic and Constitutional traditions. Calling every military leader in the world back to the U.S. to hear a wildly inappropriate partisan campaign speech followed by a fascist call to use the military against Americans.

That quote is not out of context, the full version is worse.

ICE Nazis in Chicago tried to kidnap a food delivery worker but my man was too fast for those slow bastards

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

“Federal workers stay for the mission. When that mission is taken away, when they’re scapegoated, when their job security is uncertain, and when their tiny semblance of work-life balance is stripped away, they leave,” [said] a longtime employee at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
