Pam Bondi admits she spoke to Apple to "get the ICEBlock app taken down." Sounds an awful lot like coercion to suppress disfavored speech to me. A clear violation of the 1st Amendment.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

"Leftist political terrorism is a clear and present danger. Corrupted ideologies like transgenderism and Antifa are a cancer on our culture and have unleashed their deranged and drugged-up foot soldiers on the American people," said Attorney General Paxton. "The martyrdom of Charlie Kirk marks a turning point in America. There can be no compromise with those who want us dead. To that end, I have directed my office to continue its efforts to identify, investigate, and infiltrate these leftist terror cells. To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming." The radical Left has incubated an environment where political violence is not only justified but celebrated and praised. In July, nearly two dozen armed leftists connected to various Texas-based Antifa-like groups ambushed an Immigration and Customs Enforcement ("ICE") facility in Alvarado, Texas. On September 10, 2025, a leftist assassin connected to the radical transgender movement murdered Charlie Kirk because of Kirk's bold support for truth, love of country, and unshakable faith. Two weeks later, another deranged leftist opened fire at an ICE facility in Dallas. President Donald Trump has officially designated Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization and instructed his administration to "utilize all applicable authorities to investigate, disrupt, and dismantle any and all illegal operations — especially those involving terrorist actions — conducted by Antifa." Building on President Trump's bold actions, Attorney General Paxton has instructed his office to initiate sweeping investigations into radical leftist organizations engaged in or providing support to those performing political violence.

Citing the “martyrdom” of Charlie Kirk, Texas AG Ken Paxton says his office is pursuing sweeping undercover investigations into “leftist” groups. “To those demented souls who seek to kill, steal, and destroy our country, know this: you cannot hide, you cannot escape, and justice is coming."

Patel going to Chicago to ‘crush’ crime is made possible by decades of anti-black narratives about crime and anti-black divestment of resources and school closures.

A research letter from JAMA, published online October 1, 2025, titled "Clinical Characteristics of Adults at Risk of Medicaid Disenrollment Due to HR 1 Work Requirements." The letter discusses the impact of HR 1 on Medicaid recipients.

Approximately 5 million adult #Medicaid beneficiaries risk losing coverage due to HR 1's work requirements, with a substantial portion having chronic conditions, particularly among those aged 50 to 64.

this is already a huge problem, and it’s about to get much worse as the economy goes into recession

How ICE Hides Detainees From Their Lawyers ‘It seems like cruelty is the point,’ one attorney said.

ICE abducts people and then immediately moves them around to prevent access to lawyers and habeas corpus petitions. @emmarjanssen.bsky.social has the story on this consistent game being played to frustrate due process.

Republican policy is increasingly framed around the idea that accurately describing what they are doing is worse than doing it.

They just got a Supreme Court ruling co-signing racial profiling as "common sense." So I guess the court smeared them.

“…we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown

the doj was like "idk"

the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

While this sadly *is* America, that doesn't make it normal or OK. Reach out to your elected officials. Call and text your family and friends and ask them to do the same - even the ones who you think won't agree.

The events in Chicago are shocking. Shock them with it.

ICE Barbie is complaining that her jackbooted masked thugs deployed in Chicago aren't getting served in local eateries.
Someone tell her that when you deploy troops into a supposed war zone, you need to make provisions to supply them yourself.

Elon Musk Gambles Billions in Memphis to Catch Up on AI xAI is aiming to win the tech arms race with its “Colossus” data centers, thrown up at lightning speed, but Memphis is divided over the massive power and water demands.

"Musk’s data centers will probably bring in only a few hundred jobs to Memphis while consuming millions of gallons of water a day and more electricity than is needed to power all the city’s homes. Natural-gas turbines powering the data centers have brought pollution and controversy over their use.."

Every major police agency in the country bans this.

Thank you. This leadership is needed at every level of the US government and should be totally bipartisan.

🧵🧵 Texas Republicans have been increasingly open and aggressive about Christianizing America via schools - to, in the words of the state education board chair, center classrooms around "GOD, GOP & USA."

That fight just escalated, and you should pay attention - because your state could be next.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Happening now: at Kedzie and 40th, where Border Patrol agents just opened fire on rapid response this afternoon. A woman CFD says they found after the incident is reported in fair condition.

A growing number of outraged neighbors have gathered across from ICE/CBP agents who have closed Kedzie.

It'll never be lost on me that a particular subset of the liberal commentariat in both North America and Western Europe were deeply infatuated with this woman up until the very moment she decided to talk about that one issue you're still basically not allowed to talk about lol.

wow I wonder why my entire body was in the air in the first place

This is one of he first public addresses Einstein delivered in English. You can watch it here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KLm...

This is 1 of the ultimate expressions of what Habermas called the "colonisation of the life-world":in this case, colonisation by finance.
ALL things are being devoured not only by $ interests but by the worldview that profitability should be the sole measure of value, from education to life itself.

Not sure I needed an @npr.org Senior Political Contributor to tell me that there’s too much partisanship, too little trust, and social media is bad, when one party is trying to terrorize half the country’s population and institutions, but good to know those thoughts are there if ever I want them

not that it will happen but at the very least any reporter who wrote about trump “distancing” from project 2025 owes their readers an explanation for why they published obvious lies

Macron remarks are notable- some quotes: "We have been incredibly naive in entrusting our democratic space to social networks that are controlled either by large American entrepreneurs or large Chinese companies, whose interests are not at all the survival or proper functioning of our democracies."

As well as fulfilling predictions about the Online Safety Act, this should be a warning about the implementation of digital ID…

I keep seeing people flat out state that this bubble popping won't have meaningful consequences outside of tech.

Meanwhile it’s the biggest bubble of the century in a severely weakened economy , poor regulatory environment, and a global community in near collapse

My husband was detained by ICE today

Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away

I have had zero contact or updates since

@duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

Pritzker told us to take out our phones and record ICE. But what do we do when it’s his own state police force brutalizing protesters, pinning them in so that federal agents can beat them? Illinois state police were standing shoulder to shoulder with ICE at Broadview today.

ICE en masse physically attacked a crowd of protesters under protection of @govpritzker.illinois.gov’s state troops. Disgusting.
