Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

Families "horrified" after daycare teacher pulled out of school by federal agents. The incident happened in front of parents and children at Rayito de Sol in North Center, a parent said. They believe the employee, who cares for infants, is legally allowed to work in the United State...

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

Jeffries: "The adminisration has been going after the FAA since the beginning of their time in office. And we need to understand how we got to this point, separate and apart from the Trump Republican shutdown. The problem is it's impossible to have a congressional briefing with House Rs on vacation"

Zohran Mamdani’s transformative child care plan builds on a history of NYC social innovations Mamdani’s child care plans could set an example for other policymakers to follow, as Democratic and Republican voters say child care costs are a major problem.

YouTube video by MSNBC Lawrence: You are not alone tonight if you disapprove of Donald Trump's presidency

"As Donald Trump hits a new record high disapproval rating and Americans sour on his policies on every single issue, @lawrenceodonnell.msnbc.com details how those polls show that the “Trump lies about tariffs, or the economy, are not working.”

📺 youtu.be/_d105xBlsEw?...

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

The Masque of the Red Death

Edgar Allan Poe foretold the fate of those who think they can safely celebrate in Donald’s golden ballroom while the rest of us starve and die of whatever epidemics come next: www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1...

NEW: After ICE used tear gas on kids setting up for a Chicago Halloween parade, Pritzker asked DHS to keep Halloween ICE free, for kids' safety. Kristi Noem just said "No". 😶 Show this to every moron who insists conservatives "care for the children."😢

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

Hell yeah!

🚨 NEW: 22 states, DC, and 3 governors just filed a legal challenge over a $5 billion “contingency fund” meant to keep SNAP benefits going.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

Screenshot of case caption from the 9th Circuit, it is a court order, and says "Upon the vote of a majority of nonrecused active judges, it is ordered that this case be rehead en banc pursuant to Federal Rule of Appellate Procedure 40(c)

USDA blames Democrats for potential SNAP benefits lapse in new message: 'The well has run dry' The federal agency's website features a banner that says no benefits will be issued on Nov. 1.

26 Oct 2025 -- Trump admin cutting off SNAP for millions of Americans on Nov 1 in wake of shutdown: USDA website accuses Dems of of holding shutdown hostage to “healthcare for illegal aliens and gender mutilation procedures" scapegoating trans people. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

More than 120 people have contracted measles in a community along the Arizona and Utah border, officials say. NBC News’ Erika Edwards details why the area is seeing a surge in cases — and how it’s spreading to touristy spots.

Seriously, this is what needs to happen because the media actually participates in the asymmetrical warfare that protects Trump.

Obama speculation would indeed result in a talking head and coverage meltdown, & also bring age & cognitive competence rightfully into focus.

Amid Trump’s Assault on Free Speech, Advocates Stay Busy Three nonprofit legal organizations say their caseload has ramped up significantly since Trump took office. But so has public support for their work. Jameel Jaffer, a civil rights litigator for more than 25 years, said there is no question that President Donald Trump’s assault on free speech is unprecedented in his lifetime. And while he noted there may be some rough comparisons to be made with the McCarthy era, it almost certainly has no parallel in the last 100 years.

No place is President Trump's crusade against free speech more evident than in public schools and universities.

This new McCarthyism endangers our right to learn and speak free from government censorship, but President Trump can't rewrite the First Amendment no matter how hard he tries.

ICE is out of control and beyond repair This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

"The next presidency is going to have to embark on a sweeping de-Trump-ification of the entire federal government to purge it of the culture of abuse and lawlessness that has taken hold, and there are few more vivid examples than ICE."
