I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

75% of Labor Department workers are furloughed during Trump’s shutdown.

That means millions of workers will have fewer watchdogs on the beat to ensure job safety, crack down on wage theft, and enforce labor protections.

And the so-called “pro-worker president” is to blame.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

McGovern was attempting to ask why Republicans refuse to swear in Adelita Grijalva leaving her district without representation for 7 months, but Granny wasn’t having it.

The image is an X post by David French (@DavidAFre ) from 1 day ago, stating: "Does a Fox correspondent not know that we can stop boats at sea, search them, seize any drugs we find, arrest the crew, try them, and imprison them – while also questioning them to help investigate the cartels? The choices aren't between execution and permission." It includes a reply by Charles Gasparino (@CGA ) from 1 day ago, asking: "Why would anyone be against using US forces to stop drugs from coming into this country? Because international stipulates that we need to poison our kids? x.com/DavidAFre..."

Acting as judge, jury, and executioner against civilian vessels would lead to war crimes charges with nearly any other country’s leader.

Pritzker: “The Trump administration is following a playbook: Cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem that peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act.”

Everything Trump is doing now is a preamble for his regime's real goal: to invoke the Insurrection Act.

I don’t want to unduly alarm you, but you need to be aware of this imminent danger. It’s unfolding very rapidly. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/trumps-plan

So all we had to do to keep Republicans from showing up to Congress was to have the 218th signer of the Epstein petition show up to be sworn in?

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

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...

Texas is the violent crime epicenter of the United States. But Greg Abbott wants to deploy his national guard to Illinois and Oregon (which has the lowest violent crime rate in the US). Explain.

In July, we documented nearly 50 incidents of immigration officers shattering car windows to make arrests — a tactic experts say was rarely used before Trump took office.

ICE claims its officers use a “minimum amount of force.”

You can judge for yourself.

Graphic that shows Republicans absent when needing to vote on the Epstein files or prevent a shutdown, but celebrating when cutting taxes for billionaires.

Hmmm... weird.

It really is staggering to see so many people willing to abandon our 249 year experiment in democracy for an increasingly unstable criminally convicted reality show charlatan.

The image is an X post by Rep. Ted Lieu (@RepTedLieu ) from 3 hours ago, with the caption "Hmmm... weird." The post includes a meme with three panels. The first panel, labeled "Republicans when they have to vote on the Epstein files," shows an empty hallway with an American flag. The second panel, labeled "Republicans when there's a government shutdown," shows an empty conference room. The third panel, labeled "Republicans when it's time to cut taxes for billionaires," shows a group of people clapping and cheering.

Rep. Ted Lieu is so good at this.

Stephen Miller and Donald Trump Want War They are ignoring a judge's ruling, ignoring the sovereign right of governors to keep their states safe and ignoring the on-the-ground facts to justify their dangerous invasions

“This is where we are. Donald Trump, with the help of his sycophants, is waging war against our own country. And he’s doing it for no good reason besides his hunger for power and his sadistic, sociopathic need to seek vengeance against his perceived enemies.”

Ro recap: In July, DOJ filed a misconduct complaint against Judge Boasberg. It was based on alleged comments he made at a judicial conference.

"Attachment A" was the only source cited as evidence of the comments.

But, per @lizdye.bsky.social, DOJ never even bothered to file the attachment...
