More than 100 judges have ruled against the Trump admin’s mandatory detention policy A POLITICO review of the rulings shows judges appointed by every president since Ronald Reagan have rebuked the administration’s new interpretation of immigration law.

More than 100 federal judges have now rejected the Trump administration’s new policy to lock up nearly everyone facing deportation — including 12 judges appointed by Trump, according to a POLITICO analysis. Only 2 judges have sided with ICE. www.politico.com/news/2025/10...

Pride, envy, gluttony, greed, lust, sloth, and wrath.

All in black tie.

It's the 218th signature for releasing the epstein files that's driving the shutdown. I voted for Adelita Grijalva (the 218th sig) on 9/23, but they won't swear her in. AZ District 7 has NO representation, but we still get taxed.

$170B for ICE and Border Patrol
$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets
$98M for Trump's golf outings

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.

Totally agree!😡

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Who is going to arrest this guy who shot Rev. Jorge Bautista in the face with a pepper ball? Who, who, WHO? www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

There are several bills to cut off Congress's pay checks during government shutdowns

Now there's a bill to halt White House ballroom renovations during the shutdown:

www.congress.gov/bill/119th-c...

The ballroom addition/destruction of the White House is expressly illegal and would stand as independent grounds for impeachment and removal if we had a functioning government.

I hope Portland and Oregon appeal en banc ASAP. This is a ridiculous ruling.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

And yet, they have no shame.

This picture pretty much says it all.

OMG! In Comey's motion to dismiss for vindictive prosecution, he points to others who have lied to Congress that were NOT prosecuted. Number one is JEFF SESSIONS when he said "I have been called a surrogate at a time or two, but I did not have contact with the Russians." 1/

Speaker Johnson must stop stalling.
He MUST swear in in Adelita Grijalva to get the final signature to release the Epstein files.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

He's a mob boss.
His only management tools are bribery, bullying, and blackmail.
One takes down mob bosses by starting at the bottom arresting or suing the minions doing his dirty work and then moving up the chain.

It's really not about politics anymore. The apparatus of the Republican Party has simply become a haven for bad people.

This administration keeps torching the Hatch Act—propaganda videos in airports, partisan emails on federal servers, even mass firings. It’s corruption with a flag pin. See something? Say something. Expose it through the whistleblower tip line.

“The problem is that Americans thought it was ok to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of The United States and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.” Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett

Love Field, DFW Airport won't show video blaming Democrats for government shutdown North Texas' two largest airports say the video, in which Department of Homeland Security Kristi Noem says Democrats "refuse to fund the federal government," goes against their advertising policy.

Dallas Fort Worth Airport is refusing to air Kristi Noem’s propaganda video—because it’s illegal. All airports must follow suit and reject this misuse of public space. No platform for propaganda. No exceptions.

Q: Politico reported on a group chat of young Republicans. Does this just reflect some bad apples?

HOCHUL: Some bad apples? These are the future of the GOP. This is so vile it's hard to find the words to put into context ... there's gotta be consequences ... this bullshit has to stop.

Bailing out Bessent’s billionaire friends on Wall Street from their bad investments is much more important.

JB Pritzker looking at prosecuting ICE agents in Chicago Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker has suggested that state prosecutors might examine the conduct of ICE agents.

This should be considered everywhere. They are kidnapping, abusing, harassing and threatening people who have rights. Every single one of them have rights and they are ignored. What they’re doing is unconstitutional and illegal.
Payback will come.
