Trump on 60 Minutes:

“No judge can challenge me.”

“I can do whatever I want.”

Omg

Its 2025...if you're a white dude with a top knot ...

Can’t remember seeing the benches clear in any World Series game before.

Some context to the viral videos:

Around 9am Friday, ICE/CBP *encircled* several square miles of a safe suburb and *stormed* it using multiple units.

They were in cars, on foot in alleys & gangways, and in helicopters. They demanded papers, threatened residents, pointed guns, kidnapped people.

I did. Can confirm. Not one Peter Pan collar askew.

Christ on a stick! Which specific parents need their asses handed to them?

“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy — they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness.”

Trump’s Domestic Terrorists. Start calling them what they are. Terrorists.

So wait, Trump “cut a deal” with China to: buy the soybeans they were already buying before the trade war, but now China gets advanced AI chips too?? Where is the win??

I’ve seen the arguments that it came too late, but it’s not as if the warnings weren’t there. Many NYT pages on Trump and Project 2025’s authoritarian goals foretold much of this.

The nametags:

The Many Links Between Project 2025 and Trump’s World (Published 2024) Former president Donald J. Trump has attempted to distance himself from Project 2025, the conservative policy initiative. But well over half of its contributors have worked for him, and many of its po...

Um…

I’m not going to take the turkey out of the freezer until it’s defrosted.

DHS's position is now that if they, the government, take too long to process your work permit renewal application and you have to stop working and lose your job, well, deal with it, that's just the price of security.

Trump Fires Entire Agency Reviewing His Tacky D.C. Makeover “Were it not for today’s terminations, CFA would look forward to a full review of the plans for the new structure that will replace the East Wing,” one commissioner said.

Trump just fired all members of the Commission of Fine Arts.

The independent federal agency tasked with reviewing all of his DC construction projects.

The child rapist King of Kitsch has now axed everyone standing in the way of his bulldozer.

People should know that the reason CBP
Is allowed to operate in Chicago is that the federal government has determined that the Chicgao shores of Lake Michigan, over 450 miles from Canada, as a “border.” 🙄

CBP isn’t terrorizing people on the streets of Cleveland or Toledo. 🤔 stateline.org/2025/10/17/t...

It’s very funny to compare Bovino’s bravado over the weekend to his “yes ma’am” cowering in court this morning.

Next week Lunchables.

ICE has now sent at least 72 people to prisons in African countries where they have no ties.

Via two ICE flights to Rwanda, two to Eswatini, three to Ghana and one to S. Sudan.

Some had US convictions but had finished their sentences. None have convictions in the places where they're now jailed.

I mean, I guess Whole Foods frozen pizzas suck slightly less than the ones at Kroger, but still. Did Bittman sell out or give up?

Odd. Specific ones?
