Durbin: "What has taken place since January 20, 2025, would make even President Nixon recoil. This is your legacy, AG Bondi."

I guess they’ve moved on from Cracker Barrel.

John Oliver: "If ICE can bother some guys at a roofing job, bystanders can bother ICE at their state-sanctioned kidnapping job."

blah blah on Fox re how great it is to get real masculinity back in charge! huh? Real men who are so scared they wear masks, slam women to the
floor, break into apartments & tie up women & children. Then masculine Speaker gives
HOUSE a vacation out of deep fear of Epstein files.
Cowards all.

Trump has never sounded guiltier than this and that's a high bar

If you think Donald Trump & GOP's Big UGLY Bill & the CR will NOT affect YOUR insurance think again! The BBB will affect EVERYONE on Medicare (my supplemental premium is going UP⬆️ + My Part D RX⬆️). The Tax Subsidies uncertainty & the ACA will allow insurers to WALLOP consumers!

The 💩 will hit the 🪭

C.I.A. Deputy Director Has Replaced Agency’s Top Legal Official With Himself

This is so Bizarre. I’ve had multiple conversations this week with several people about Ellis. He’s the guy that stashed the perfect phone call transcript in a code word classified system. And took over prepub review of Bolton’s book. Now this. 1/ www.nytimes.com/2025/10/06/u...

“I don’t know this woman, Ghislaine Maxwell — never met her. My lawyer only coached her for, what, eight hours? Then she gets transferred to Club Fed’s Yoga Camp. Total coincidence!” - DJT

It's a lie. And completely teched.

The more America sees and hears from Stephen Miller, the worse it is for Trump and MAGA.

He's a total freak and loser, repulsive to the majority, and he's the shadow President and currently the most powerful, unelected person in the country.

Benny Johnson posted a AI video depicting himself as a costumed, pro-ICE Batman punching an Asian woman

Pritzker is also furious: “Should National Governors Association leadership choose to remain silent, Illinois will have no choice but to withdraw from the organization.”

The entire country is walking on eggshells because a madman is hallucinating about crime sprees and burning cities.

Trump's invasion This weekend marked a major escalation of his campaign of terror.

"Simply put, one state cannot invade another. This is something so central to American democracy that you don’t even need some sort of legal explanation as to the underpinnings."

Whoa! The shutdown’s ripple effect starting to hit.

Burbank Airport in LA County has no air traffic controllers on duty due to sick calls, last-minute day-off requests, and staffing shortages.

If you’re flying anywhere in the country, check for delays.

I have been warning about the economy for months. What is happening at the Texas State Fair will happen throughout the holidays. People will NOT be spending on any extras. Thank The Orange Grinch.

Is this the same city that Donald Trump says is burning up?

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

Love this. Superbly done. Please send this far and wide. @donwinslow.bsky.social

🚨🚨🚨 Chicago Police pepper sprayed by ICE yesterday. These are the streets of the former United States. 1/2

18 months ago.

When looking for who is responsible for the arson of #JudgeDianeGoodstein in SC, maybe start here:

This Texan agrees. Now that Trump and Abbott want to send troops from Texas to Illinois, I feel like I'm being drawn into something I don't want to be a part of. I don't believe in turning one state against another. I'm too old for all of thtis!

Trump's Plan To invoke the Insurrection Act

WAKE UP, AMERICA! WE CAN'T SIT THIS ONE OUT. OUR DEMOCRACY IS TOO PRECIOUS TO LOSE.

Texas proudly invading Illinois.

It’s hard to describe the level of potential constitutional crisis here.

Stephen, I'm an 80 year old grandmother whose husband has dementia. We are patriots and NOT terrorists.

We’re only 9 months into this presidency and he’s already sending troops from red states into blue states while clearly stating his motives are political.
