Spamming fake 911 calls is a great way to make the local cops hate you.

But this is what happens when you're stuck hiring psychopaths, drunks, and hooligans b/c no one else wants to work for you.

ICE is gonna ICE. But it'll be bad for the regime, too.

Federal agents rushed a 10/4/2025 peaceful gathering at an ICE building in Portland for no reason.

Agents knocked over a couple who were both 84 yo. "Smashed" both of them to the ground.

Media are talking about the “positive relationship” between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Trump. And that Trump likes & respects Carney much more than he did Trudeau. But seriously, what value does that translate to as Trump continues to increase his aggressive economic attacks on Canada?

To Win the Shutdown, Democrats Need a Big Switch Basing the shutdown on health care is risky. Republicans want a farm bailout too, and that could provide a path to reframing the shutdown as about stopping Trump’s power grabs.

Democrats have been consistent with framing the shutdown as a fight for healthcare, but they could win the shutdown by switching the narrative to be about stopping the assault on Congress’s power of the purse. @ddayen.bsky.social argues a farm bailout is the leverage they need.

Bernie will not back down to Republicans. His #CupOfJoe has the fierceness that we need from every Democrat & Independent in Congress. If any GOP has balls, they will vote against this budget.

If someone that looks like this tried to open my car door screaming at me to exit my vehicle, I will do everything in my power to drive away. If I run them over in the process, good luck to them.

During a shutdown, the federal government can deploy troops to invade US cities but can’t send WIC funds to states to feed infants and children. Speaks volumes about how the rules around shutdowns systematically serve GOP priorities while harming everyone else.
