Newsom and Pritzker Are Showing How to Attack an Authoritarian Crook Arkadi Gerney, a Democratic strategist, says Democratic governors and attorneys general have the greatest ability to stop Trump—and they’re doing it in ways that are underappreciated.

Newsom and Pritzker Are Showing How to Attack an Authoritarian Crook

Gov. Pritzker after Trump calls for him to be jailed: “I will not back down… what else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?”

Today… October 8th…

The shutdown isn’t just about healthcare - it’s also about Congress reining in the president. We’re going to have a fight, so let’s have it now.

CNN: The judge presiding over the prosecution of Jim Comey has agreed to Comey’s request to schedule a near term trial. Comey asked for a Jan 12 trial date. The judge went with Jan 5. Comey is counting on the gov’t not being ready for trial. A good bet.

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours.

There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds.

Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

The condescension of two-bit Attorney General Pamela Jo Bondi today underscores that the only thing this administration excels at is a complete lack of self-awareness.

Remember, it was the Washington Post who gave Bondi a thumbs up to be confirmed. Democracy Docket made clear from day one that she was an election denying sycophant.

No surprise at their coverage of today. Support independent, pro-democracy media today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

Agree. Agree. Agree.

Kristi Noem confronts enemy combatants in the Portland war zone today.

DEVELOPING: Convicted felon, adjudicated rapist and financial fraudster calls for the imprisonment of Chicago’s mayor and Illinois’ governor because they will not help him turn their home into a war zone.

This Reuters headline. Oof.

Fascism isn't 'coming.' It's HERE.

GTF Out!

Pope Leo Ramps Up His Trump Feud With Order to American Bishops The Chicago-born pontiff has sharpened his criticism of the Trump administration and reportedly decided to take action.

Keep calling him out Pope Leo! The hell hounds are calling him!

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

Trump approval score plummets with majority against troop deployments The president’s approval rating dropped after he told US military leaders that the National Guard should be used to target an ‘enemy within’

“Trump’s approval rating down to 40% with a majority of Americans also opposing troop deployments, new poll shows”

Remember when we had air traffic controllers?

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.

The Big List of Protest Signs for #NoKings 10/18 Instead of talking to MAGA or each other, focus on winning the hearts and minds of the unaware and undecided.

Instead of talking to MAGA or each other, focus on winning the hearts and minds of the unaware and undecided. The best signs tell people what we stand for and do it simply.

Today, Senator Kaine and I will force the Senate to vote on the administration’s decision to blow up ships in the Caribbean.

If a president can unilaterally put people or groups on a list and kill them, there is no meaningful limit to his use of force.

Thanks, New Yorker

Leavitt: “You guys are framing this like the president wants to do the exact thing he says he wants to do.”

“.. On closer inspection, however, it turned out that the image was not a photograph of a real event in Portland, but instead a fabrication created by combining two photographs of scenes that unfolded in South America nearly a decade apart ..”
